Rubrum Tenebrae

Rubrum Tenebrae is a citizen on the continent of Rathnir. She migrated there from a distant land torn apart by tribal conflict. When she got to Rathnir, she arrived at the swamp kingdom of Paloro. There she settled for many, many years gaining strength and a name for himself. However, during the end of the Ferrymen War, she was exiled for high treason. She then moved on to the fledgling city of Cyrumar. That was quickly replaced by Geradith, then taken back over by the old Cyrumar citizens. After all the conflict, Rubrum left Cyrumar and traveled, looking for a new town to settle in. She found it: the Grand Sultanate of Alamayn.

Physique and Traits
Rubrum Tenebrae is a white human female. She has an average height of five feet nine inches, not short, but not tall. She has medium length brown hair along with brown eyes. She generally can be found wearing a crimson suit with black and gold complements.

As a survivor from a deadly massacre of her people, she had gained many traits. Rubrum is a manipulative person, relying on staying in the shadows and sneaking around to survive. She rarely will trust anyone, especially with her past of tragedy.

Before Rathnir
Before Rubrum had arrived at Rathnir, she was born onto a continent called Nocturia, a place torn apart by tribal war. From a young age she was taught to lead and fight. However, tragedy struck when her tribe was ambushed. A coward at the time, Rubrum retreated to the nearest beach and fled Nocturia, rowing into the unknown sea. It was at this point that she discovered the continent of Rathnir and here she began her new life.

Paloro
She began her life in Paloro at Atris. Because Atris was in its early days, she helped the mayor, Mytz of Atris, build the town and set up some things. Tenebrae entered her first conflict in Rathnir on Paloro's side when the Khanate War started and Second Empire of Uldarash formed an army to take the Khanate of Haven down. Uldarash emerged victorious and Rubrum, had her first experience in a war on Rathnir. She then went on to become a part of the Atris City Council, helping Mytz with Atris matters. During her time in Paloro, Rubrum created the Noctem Alliance to combat a bandit group terrorizing the Ryzani-Carthya Republic. The group was known as the Big Five and was quickly taken down. She then disbanded the group and went back into his Paloran home. However, Rubrum's journey in Paloro ended the day the Ferrymen War concluded. She admitted to committing treason and was exiled from Paloro.

Cyrumar
She then found her way into Cyrumar after her exile. Cyrumar was brand new and was being led by the king, Alpha. After about a week, Rubrum became a member of the ruling council, helping Alpha with decisions. However, tragedy struck when Alpha made a mistake and Tortuga invaded. The council and the king decided to surrender so Cyrumar became a puppet state placed under control of Alpha. A few months later, she convinced Alpha to declare independence and fighting ensued. After about an hour of fighting between Cyrumar and Tortugan forces, Tortuga emerged the clear victors. A group known as the envyists, a religious bunch that had joined Tortuga, were given control of the city of Cyrumar. King Alpha was exiled, and Rubrum avoided any blame for the conflict.

Geradith
She remained a council member after the envyists turned Cyrumar into Geradith, renaming the city and remodeling it. The national religion was Envyism, and it was strict with its beliefs. Rubrum said she believed in Envyism, but secretly she was still a believer in Angletepē, her old Paloran religion. Months past, and the new King, Hittokiri, didn't do much to further Geradith's power. People grew tired and wanted Alpha to return, as though he was ambitious, he did a lot more than the Geradith king. Rubrum noticed the subtle rebellion and so she contacted Alpha. Alpha began to create a group called the Loyalists, as the members were loyal to him, the rightful ruler of Cyrumar, or as it was now known Geradith. She gave Alpha some intel on the city of Geradith and Alpha attacked on 9/20/21. Alpha won several victories against Geradith. To avoid any further conflict, Tortuga sold Geradith to Alpha for a decent sum. The envyists were kicked out, not before causing some damage.

After Geradith
After Geradith was reclaimed by Alpha, he named it the Cyrumar Empire. All of the Loyalists joined it and Rubrum was offered a seat on the council. She denied it and left Cyrumar. She began searching for a new nation and after a while, she found the nation of Alamayn.

Alamayn
Rubrum Tenebrae arrived in Alamayn at the massive city of Adwa on February 22nd, 2022. Adwa was a beautiful city with Ethiopian architecture. During her second day as an Alamayn citizen, she wrote a book and sold it to a library. This was the beginning of her new job, a job as a scribe. As a scribe, she wrote many books, mainly fiction tales of heroism. Occasionally she wrote down historical events that happened around her. On March 12th, 2022, it was announced Rubrum would marry Rozen von DarkLight, child of Adashi Cornaro. In the next few weeks she wrote several books, earning a living that way. However, her life was interrupted when the Veldion War started. Alamayn was preparing for conflict, so Rubrum began fortifying the city of Adwa, preparing for the war. Tragedy struck for Veldion when it was annexed by Kazan, this ended the short cold war. Unfortunately, Amy, the Empress of the Lunari Empire demanded reparations be paid for the cold war. Alamayn thought this was a ridiculous request so they did no such thing. Again, Rubrum was forced to defend her countries land. This time, she started working on defenses in the desolate city of Azadi. The day came and the Battle of Azadi began. The battle was a stalemate and the Lunari Empire and its allies went home. For now the war had ended. Shortly after the Battle of Azadi, Rozen von DarkLight broke up with Rubrum, leaving her feeling empty. To fill that void she began looking for another suitable husband. During her age of depression, she came into the possession of Kharis, a port town in Alamayn. She was now its mayor. Rubrum then joined the Alamayni tribe, the Tembaro. The Tembaro were a coastal people, with a love for fishing. This tied into her religion of sea life, Angletepē.

Mayor of Kharis
After obtaining the city of Kharis, Rubrum overcame her depression and started working. Kharis was a ruined city, an ancient one, but a ruined one. So she swiftly sought to rebuild it. She became the governor of Tlemcen, a region in Alamayn. She also became an Alamayni council representative in that region. Within a few weeks of her being in charge of Kharis, she rebuilt the citizen district, building it up to living standards. A highway was built through Kharis, allowing all of Alamayn to come visit the rising town. However, tragedy struck Alamayn in the form of a civil war. The Alamayni government announced the transportation of leftover supplies from Azadi to Adwa. The transportation caravan would start at Kharis. Opposed to the government claiming all these, a group called the Guerillas started a campaign against the other side, the government side, or the Loyalists. Rubrum decided to remain neutral and kept her city closed after the caravan left. The caravan left the city of Kharis and was ambushed by the Guerillas. Rubrum saw the carnage ensue: the Guerilla's blowing up the Kharis bridge and damaging the caravan. However, at the end of the intense encounter, the Loyalists prevailed and delivered the caravan to Adwa. The battle was a loss for the Guerillas. Rubrum was left with a destroyed entry bridge.

Marriage
On April 30th, of 2022, Rubrum Tenebrae married Rubicundus Aurelianus, or Rubii Wayneright as she is commonly known. Rubrum then became Rubrum Wayneright, a little sad to leave her last name behind. It was after all the last remnants of her tribe. They got married in Iabet, a city of the Gaian Tribe. Very few people attended the wedding, as it was held in a private setting. Upon marrying, they adopted several children: Chungus Aurelianus, Nerva, Geihro Aurelianus, Spraggins, MekiMedo, and Franz.

Alamayn-GoonGuard War
When the Alamayn-GoonGuard War began on April 21st, 2022, Rubrum was a major supporter of the defense of Alamayn. She avidly supported fighting GoonGuard, wanting to end its war-driven past. Rubrum is a veteran of both the First and Second Battle of Arkalis. She barely survived the first battle. However, during the second battle, she was key in hunting down a rogue GoonGuard soldier.

Tragedy
On May 19th, 2022, Rubrum Tenebrae was stripped of her citizenship in Alamayn. She resigned from all government positions. The reason for this was that she again committed a treasonous act, betraying Alamayn. She still controlled her city of Kharis, but now again was left in a pit of despair. However, this time, their would be no returning from the despair. One of her children, the Alamayni native, Nerva left the Wayneright family, adding to her depression. Soon she was divorced from Rubii Wayneright, and was left in a deeper pit of despair. So, she left Alamayn and declared the city of Kharis an independent nation: the Merchant Empire of the Portittor.

The Founding of the Empire
On May 20th, 2022 Rubrum Tenebrae formed the Merchant Empire of the Portittor. This was an empire built on trade, its capital city was Kharis. She crowned herself Merchant Empress, the first of hopefully many rulers to come. After Kharis' independence, Alamayn soon dissolved, so Rubrum claimed two more cities: Umbar and Östö.
