MysticYourHeart

MysticYourHeart - often just known as "Mystic" or "Lethe" - is a wandering mystic residing in the U.S.S.E. He is the current General Secretary of the United Socialist States of Eldham, having previously served as it's Commissioner of Security.

Gol
After arriving on Eldham, MysticYourHeart joined with DeathByCannabis in the Mercurian Republic to build the city of Gol. The pair worked together to build a small trading town on their island. Mystic constructed much of the underground portion of Gol, hoping to create more pleasant living quarters for residents with the idea being that the subterranean housing would shield individuals from the scorching heat of the surface desert.

Gol, being located between two notable seas, was in a rather strategic location. As such, the Mystic worked to develop the city's infrastructure to support a trade hub. He dreamed of a bustling trade city, with travelers coming from far and wide.

Unfortunately, his dreams were crushed when Gol's host nation, the Mercurian Republic, fell to their neighbors of Rodinnbrok. Mercurian officials surrendered the city without even informing the locals, infuriating the residents. Mystic, seeing that war was bad for business, decided to flee with DeathByCannabis after the fall of their nation.

Laria
DeathByCannabis maintained his connections from his first Eldham home, Laria, and sought refuge back there. The Mystic followed him south, to the USSE, and to the jeweled city of Laria. DeathByCannabis had told Mystic along the route to Laria about the city - about the hospitality, egalitarianism, and its beauty above all. Upon arrival, he met Kato and Sorray - two of the city's leaders - who were overcome with joy at seeing DeathByCannabis back again safely. The Mystic was astonished at the camaraderie between these friends, and found a new stage of enlightenment in his mystic research and insights from this experience. Though a new arrival in town, Kato and Sorray offered him a prestigious piece of land in the city - a large house in the Old City district. The Old City had always been occupied by notable Old Guard (long time residents of the USSE) and major political figures. Mystic was a strange stranger from strange lands, yet was awarded an honorable spot in the city - simply due to the fact that DeathByCannabis had vouched for him, and the two trusted the judgement of their friend so highly. The Mystic was grateful for the welcome, and could see clearly that the city of Laria lived up to its hospitable reputation. He dedicated his studies and labor towards the brewing of potions which soothed the soul, lightened emotions, and cured the body. These potions would find themselves highly valuable and used during the USSE's later armed conflicts and struggles. Due to the efficiency and speed of the Mystic's potion brewing, he became one of the core suppliers of the USSE's military potions, and ignited a prominent potion industry in the city of Laria.

He also proved himself to be not half bad with a sword, having won a tournament with Kato and DeathByCannabis which was hosted by present day Manzland. These skills increased the Mystic's prominence in the city of Laria, and in the USSE at large.

During the Atletchia-Vulperium war, Mystic was present on the side of the Vulperium. Mystic later came to regret his participation in this war, declaring that "The wrong side won that war."

Entrance into Politics
After the election of Kato of Laria to General Secretary, Mystic assassinated Kato during his inauguration. Kato deeply respted anybody motivated & skillful enough to kill him. Because of this, Mystic was Kato's first pick for Commissioner of Security. However, his appointment became a contentious issue due to allegations of nepotism & because of the popularity of the incumbent, Echo. His appointment was denied & Mystic remained a close ally of the Kato Administration from the sidelines.

Following the resignation of Echo, Mystic was unanimously confirmed for the position. In his capacity as Commissioner of Security, Mystic helped to negotiate the U.S.S.E.'s membership into The Imperium. During Kato's term, Mystic was awarded the Chelovek Medal for his dedication & labor for the government.

Mystic was re-appointed by General Secretary Pier Aganar, due to the dedication he had put into the work. He further oversaw the eradication of numerous squatter claims, helped bring a new PvP community to the U.S.S.E., expanded the national armory, & continued military cooperation with The Imperium.

As Pier's term neared an end, Mystic was the first to declare his candidacy for General Secretary of the U.S.S.E. The field was cleared & not particularly competitive. Mystic won his election with 88% of the vote & a clear mandate for the Katoist wing of the C.P.U.S.S.E.

General Secretary
Mystic was inaugurated on July 27th. Before his innaguration speech even began, Kato - the head of the State Assassin's Guild - attacked Mystic in an attempt to assassinate him. The battle was fiercely fought, but in the end the Assassin's Guild succeeded. The Assasin's Guild then began killing off guests of the inauguration ceremony. Nobody was spared.

Mystic's term began weeks after the government of the Eldham Imperium was overthrown by communist rebels. The Eldham Union was formed, and as the incumbent General Secretary of the U.S.S.E., Mystic became a member of its Politburo. The creation of The Union & a growing military strength led Mystic to end the U.S.S.E.'s period of military isolationism. The U.S.S.E. declared its support to both the Merconis & Tovarisha in their respective wars. While the U.S.S.E. officially had no participation in the Imperium-Prisma War or the N.D.A.-Aurora War, MysticYourHeart was a volunteer soldier on the side of the Imperium for both wars.

The town of Hammerdeep became an official town of the U.S.S.E. under Mystic's term as General Secretary. Further, Vanshire was released as an independent nation & a chunk of Andrimar was sold to Morladron. [To Be Continued]
