Fyrretree Pisse

Early life
Born in the tiny town of Pissevirke, off the coast of Stormgova and on the immediate border with Fedhrekaan, Fyrretree was raised much in the traditional way of the Pisse family. Tasked with regulating the border and given minimal supervision, the Pisse family had built up the town of Pissevirke, centered around its large wooden wall controlling the key chokepoint on the isle of Inkorsport. In his youth, he was taught the basics of combat and cheesemaking, a traditional family pastime and their main source of income.

Family
Because of generations of relative separation from the civilized interior of Stormgova, the Pisse family had a higher degree of inbreeding than recommended, and, as a result, developed toxic and hostile family dynamics that made living there not fun. Despite this, Fyrretree had a positive relationship with his brothers Mirjam and Gerald. Together, they planned to leave their birthplace and travel some place more welcoming.

Leaving Pissevirke
After weeks of preparing, the three relatives left their home town under the cover of darkness. Stumbling their way to Scardin, they were warmly welcomed and given more supplies before they continued on the main road South to New Jellhem. Finally arriving in the grand city, the group decided to split. Gerald, wearied of Stormgova, made the decision to board a merchant's ship moored in the Vetr River, leaving Simulami to find employment abroad and explore the world. Gerald and Fyrretree knew Mirjam was too young to provide for himself, so agreed that Fyretree would watch over him in New Jellhem until he came of age, at which point Mirjam would be allowed to decide what his future might hold.

Settling into New Jellhem
Upon arriving in New Jellhem, they were personally welcomed to the city by Ornn Ludwig who gave them a tour of the city and provided them with a house near Castle Ludwig to live in. Being largely isolated from the rest of the island, the dominant religion in Pissevirke was historically Stormgovan Guardian. however, upon being exposed to the widespread anti-Guardian fervor in New Jellhem, Fyrretree enthusiastically converted to Soleannen after traveling to the city of Vivan on the mainland of Colonial Simulami. During his time in New Jellhem, Fyrretree returned to his ancestral craft of cheesemaking in order to provide for himself and Mirjam. He applied and joined the military of Simulami with equal enthusiasm, however he has yet to participate in any battles given the peaceful status-quo of the Empire.

Fyrretree took part in the Burning of the Stormgovan Guardian Temple in New Jellhem, an event where Soleviel mobs led by Ornn Ludwig burned down the historic temple. Despite placing many of the flames himself, the aftermath of the event saw Fyrretree's religious fervor subside as he was embarrassed by his conduct. During this time in New Jellhem, Fyrretree attended the Trial of the High Stormgovan Society, where most of the island's elite were prosecuted by the Empire for botching the elections taking place. His opinions on these events were very mixed as Ornn had largely served has his father figure since his arrival in New Jellhem. The results of the trial, however, weren't especially harsh, so life went on.

Return to Pissevirke
Despite fitting in well with the people of New Jellhem, Fyrretree always felt restless and missing the town of Pissevirke, if not its people. He couldn't help himself and eventually resolved to visit his former home, but there he made a shocking and saddening discovery. He returned to find his birthplace scorched ruins, the most likely reason being a destructive bandit raid. Rather than being upset, he resolved to rebuild his home, not to what it once was, but to something better, a powerful fortified city capitalizing on the trade routes running between Stormgova and Fedhrekaan, as well as those running between the Vetr Sea and the Brauguard Sea.

Death
The final act of Fyrretree Pisse was a ceremony in which he intended to baptize a group of Stormgovans into the Soleannen faith at the Church of Arose in Pissevirke. During this ceremony, there was a sudden destructive explosion from behind the altar, and Birgir Hrafn, traitor to the empire and his own relative by marriage burst out, killing the guard Dio Loran and Fyrretree himself. During Fyrretree's death, he did not fight back or attempt to escape, but rather accepted his fate and died praying, leading to his canonization as a saint in Soleannen.
