Early life
Aydomir comes from a mysterious far far away land known as Argonia. He came from the Argo tribe, whose Chief was known only as Arnat. The Argo tribe was semi-nomadic, moving and settling and moving under the Argonian skies. Arnat was a great builder, leaving behind magnificent creations. For a long time, Aydomir's people prospered. But as the years went by, the society declined. The numbers dwindled, the people became trapped in their comfort, and stagnation followed. Aydomir yearned for more. Despite the isolated and hard-to-reach nature of Argonia, an occasional traveler, wanderer, or exile passed the Argo tribe. Many of them told stories of a storied land, full of civilization, great works beyond even Arnat's wildest dreams. Tales of great empires, rising and falling, great and terrible wars, prophets and warriors, artists and merchants, it enchanted Aydomir, for he saw opportunity for the declining Argo nation. He sought to convince his people to join him, but to no avail. So one day, Aydomir packed up and headed south, for that was the direction of the storied land. Along the way, he heard more stories from his destination. However, little did he know that there were two lands, Rathnir and Eldham, Aydomir had heard most of the stories from Rathnir, but little from Eldham. However, as he got closer, and his supplies dwindled, he realized his only hope was to land in Eldham.

First landing in Eldham & Rise in Treelords
As Aydomir wandered the land of Eldham, he stumbled across a man named Hobbit, who was seeking new members to join his town. Aydomir accepted, and found himself in a walled town called Treelords, part of Vionir, back then under Drakean rule. For the next few years, Aydomir spent a quiet life in the town, occasionally interacting with the locals, but for the most part spending time alone. But on occasional nights, he dreamed of his people migrating into the green and fertile land of Vionir, to settle down and prosper as a nation. So at one point he began working to earn money and a name in the community. However, one day a message came to Aydomir, sent by a messenger from the Argo tribe, inviting him to visit his homeland for a rare ceremony. Aydomir obliged, and tried to convince his people to join him, but to no avail. So after a while, Aydomir went back to Treelords, and continued his work. Soon, he was noticed by the local authorities, and was accepted into the Catanian Council. But soon enough, Vionir became independent, and Aydomir became part of the newly formed government. He had visions, he wanted to make Vionir rise, with or without the Argo people. After all, if one day the Argo migrate, he would be well prepared to settle them. But over time that hope dwindled, but was not fully extinguished. While Aydomir was making small progress on the financial side, he was less able to have his visions for growing Vionir be realized. Partially it was due to Aydomir's inexperience with the art of statecraft, poor financial resources, and lack of confidence, but also partially due to the neglectful tyranny of the ruler of Vionir, Manspiderpig, who made a fool out of Vionir by needlessly poking fights with neighboring nations, and blocking potential sources of immigration. There were talk in the Vioniri council to depose the tyrant. However, he eventually stepped down voluntarily, handing over power to Hobbit, who granted Aydomir the position of Vice Leader, making him the second in command. However despite this, little progress was made in Vionir, and one day Hobbit chose to leave without any sort of explanation. Aydomir grew tired, and had even considered leaving Vionir for more bustling metropolises. So Aydomir packed his bags and went to explore Rathnir.

Travels in Rathnir
He landed in the fabled land of Yimmu-Audal, for he had heard many stories from there. He explored many areas, hoping to find life. It took several days, in which he recorded in his diary. After stumbling upon a holy site, he found another person, who allowed Aydomir to stay in their town. However, a message came to Aydomir, for major political developments were occuring in Vionir.

Valreach & House of Syla
Valreach had declared war on both Catania and Vionir. However, instead of risking the pointless destruction of Vionir, Foxy chose to surrender to Valreach on favourable terms. While Vionir lost its independence, it had joined a thriving nation, and Aydomir saw an opportunity for Vionir to grow. So he ventured back to Eldham. Soon enough, he joined the Valrean government, and the Valrean government chose to give Vionir a chance to self-govern and prosper. Prosperity was always on the mind of Aydomir, and together with Foxy, they set out to create a new noble house, which would be under the protection of the House of Arietis. After a lot of negotiation, the House of Sylva was born.
