Ari Haraldsen

Ari Haraldsen, commonly referred to as Ari, is an unmarried Helsian of Valdic origin and Auðrist who lives in Miklagard. He used to be known as Alexios_Isaurian and initially lived in Ycaz during the CoG. During the civil war in Aionos, he moved to Miklagard to escape the regime of the Aionios Impervia. During the January Upheaval and Coglapse, Ari supported Helsia. He had built a house in Miklagard before leaving for about a year. He then returned and founded Auðrism.

Ari is tall, with an athletic body, broad shoulders, blue eyes, short, curly, brown hair, a short beard and defined facial features. Ari has no known family other than the name of his father, Harald, which is known from his own name.

Early life
When Ari first seemed to have appeared, he lived in Ycaz. At the time, Aionos was a stable part of CoG. Upon finding out that all the land inside of the city walls was already used, he built a small building outside the walls not far from the north entrance into the city. He lived there for a while, mostly farming outside of the walls.

Aionos civil war, January Upheaval and Coglapse
When the Aionos civil war broke out, Ari initially stayed as a part of the newly-formed Aionos Impervia in order to get information from the inside and feed it to an anonymous Helsian citizen. However, by the breakout of the January Upheaval, he was a part of Helsia. He moved to Miklagard, where he would build his second and current house. He attempted to fight in a effort for Helsia during the Coglapse, but lost a significant amount of gear when attempting to travel through the nether.

Following these events, Ari continued to live in his now completed home in Miklagard. One of his plans for it is to turn it into a public library if he ever moves away from it. He was inactive from near the end of January 2022.

Return and foundation of Auðrism
Ari returns on the 2nd of March 2023, where he receives a revelation from Auðr: He must guide people to the truth of Auðrism. Him and any others who do so will receive 'great rewards'.
