Lnedible

lnedible (Or Inedible if you want to write it like a casual) is the leader of the town Port Solanaria, and the Lord of Virolia, an autonomous province of Bardonia.

 EARLY LORE 

lnedible was part of an ancient culture, of which next to nothing is known about. He does not capitalize the first letter of his name on documents for some reason. His people were followers of Entropy, and they were often known her servants. lnedible does not quite recall much more about his old culture.

He was a prosperous young warrior, and quickly rose the ranks. On his first mission as a captain of a small army, he was ambushed and his entire squad was wiped out. lnedible himself was slain by an arrow through the heart, but his soul was spared. Entropy was enraged at loosing some of her best warriors, so she spent about 25000 years keeping his soul.

During this time lnedible was in a prison cell with about 200 other spared failures like himself, but she was too busy with the greater failures and causing general chaos to ever really do anything to him

She eventually let most of her prisoners go after needing to focus more of her power on not dying, so lnedible was freed, now immortal due to the curse not being lifted. He was put back into his former body, now a skeleton in a remote part of present day Huitca. He had not eaten any real food in 25000 years, and upon finding his first food, a potato, he immediately began to worship it.

He left Huitca in search for more potatoes and crossed the sea, where he happened upon Port Solanaria, his current location

EARLY PORT LIFE

lnedible loved life in Port Solanaria. The people there feared and respected him. He helped keep them safe through his training with Entropy. He also lead them in religious worship, becoming an extremist and preaching out against the dangers of any other religion. He also advocated for beetroots being considered an object of everything wrong with the world, due to him always seeing them but never getting to eat them while in Entropy's lair. This idea was already a part of Port Solanaria (Purely by chance) and this lead him to be seen as a sort of minor prophet, an idea bolstered by his inability to die.

lnedible was granted the rank of Elder Potato, the highest honor in Tuberism society after only a few years in Port Solanaria. This lead him to really start to shoot up the ranks in the town, as Tuberism's official religious headquarters were in Port Solanaria. He became the assistant overseer of the Treasury, and gained power by paying his allies greatly, which made more people want to ally with him, gaining him even more power, until he was one of the most dominant. He also lead his own faction in the town, becoming more and more extreme in his ideas and hunger for power.

MASSACRES AND BANISHMENT

lnedible one day had a vision of famine, and ordered everyone to farm potatoes continuously. The famine struck and there wasn't enough food. Some non Tuberite farmers began to farm beetroots, as those seemed to be the only thing able to grow. lnedible thought that the famine was a test, and that the reason beetroots were still farmable was that the potatoes were testing them, seeing if they would give in to weakness. He ordered that the farmers who decided to farm beetroots be executed. 15 were killed, with an unknown number escaping.

This sent the POWERFUL message the lnedible was in charge, and anyone who opposed him would be done away with through any and all means possible.

lnedible would have gotten away with it, but a young dwarf by the name of Zion gravely wounded him in a duel for power, and he was shipped off to the neighboring Patania until he recovered.

RETURN

lnedible returned to Port Solanaria a few months later, and resumed being......lnedible. He immediately resumed control of the treasury and began regaining power. He actually did some good stuff, beginning his career as a Bardonian politician, and continued to gradually oust the other Elder Potatoes and gain following, except Zion, who with her and her ideals was a very large thorn in his side.

He also began training a militia, as he could see the Fourth Bardonian empire beginning to collapse in on itself.

He also improved infrastructure, and began to get people to move to the city once again. Obviously he overally calmed down a bit. He even managed to win over some Bardonians, but Zion had a larger standing in the Bardonian government than him, a fact which he greatly reviled.

He also worked on expanding the Borders of the official Province of Solanaria. He bought land and annexed lots of undeveloped areas, managing to bring the entire swamp, named the Tuberswamplands, under Port Solanarias control. He also helped build a whole lot of buildings, and spent time mining to improve the economy.

He also began to develop morals. He saw the effect his massacre had on Port Solanaria, and deeply regretted it. He issued a public apology.

VIROLIA

The Bardonian Empire, unsurprisingly according to lnedible, collapsed. Talks of independence began to fester in the streets. lnedible was at first hesitant, because independence would mean giving up everything he had worked towards. Independence was also a difficult subject for him, due to a Bardonian loyalists exposing a referendum he had held months earlier, which asked citizens if they wanted independence (The result was yes, much to both his and Zions interest). lnedible managed to clear his name, but many citizens, notably Apps, a fellow Elder Potato were banished.

Apps had returned though, and he, without consulting the other Elder Potatoes (Or anyone at all for that manner) declared independence along with the city of Virothen, which had had previous ties to the city but was nearly abandoned. The name Virolia was assumed, which seemed weird. Due to Port Solanaria making up almost 90% of the population, lnedible thought that the name would be Solanum or Solanaria, but Virolia was chosen.

Virolia was the last part of Bardonia to declare independence. It is also situation in core Bardonia, and had never not been apart of Bardonia in recent memory.

Apps had greatly bolstered his career by declaring independence, and could have truly ran the country how he wished, but he hesitated after the declaration and lnedible jumped on the opportunity and became the Lord of Virolia.

Zion was (Of course) a Bardonian loyalist. Bardonia would have begrudgingly let Virolia be. Zion did not want this. She REPEATEDLY tried to hand over Port Solanaria to Bardonia. She at first agreed that Virolia could keep the rest of its territory if it handed over Port Solanaria and another, irrelevant city named Madmans Keep. Eventually she wanted all of Virolia handed back (It is suspected that Bardonia itself had a hand in this)

lnedible spent most of his time defending Virolias independence, sending delegates to Ryzan and Tortuga to ask for military assistance (Ryzan approved of independence but did not get involved in keeping Virolia independence. Tortuga politely declined)/ lnedible also spent a disproportionate amount of his time on a Border dispute over two small islands in the middle of nowhere (Really this dispute needs its own page its so unnecessarily complex. The islands were eventually handed over to Romansh, with the two Port Solanarian men there becoming duel citizens)

lnedible also spent his time holding referendums, reworking the government (He was politically unopposed due to Zion being a loyalist and losing all her popularity due to a census showing that 80% of citizens wanted independence), and restructuring lots of old, obsolete systems and putting himself on top of all of them

He did all this with Bardonia and its lapdog, Zion, and another pacifist Elder Potato, Hipps breathing down his neck, waiting for him to show weakness. Wanting peace, Hipps had been there a very, very long time, and had seen everything lnedible had done. He didn't want him to kill for his power again, but was 100% sure he would again, and didn't want it to be him on the edge of a sharpened farming sickle. This lead to him advocating for him to removed from power as soon as possible. His voice did not go unheard, and lnedible considered executing him. If he killed Zion, that would mean war with Bardonia, but Hipps was his own voice with his own faction. He chose against it, deeming it important to get as popular as possible, and not thinking that he could do as much damage as Zion. He also was using those shiny new morals he was still developing.

There are always 5 elder potatoes, but during this time, there were only 4. Nova, the previous Elder Potato had died of old age. She was only in power for a few months, and had little political power, but would have definitely tipped the balance of power towards Bardonia, and not lead to Virolian independence lasting very long. This was because Elder Potatoes often held votes on matters, and due to Apps and lnedible, always voting the pro-Virolian option and Zion and Hipps always voting the pro-Bardonian option, nothing was ever done.

lnedible quickly disregarded the votes, stepping over the need for the councils of the other Potatoes, and began beefing up the military, ordering weapons from outside sources and drafting lots of civilians.

Bardonia, after seeing Virolia surprisingly not collapse on itself, and seeing it prosper, decided that they wanted it back. This choice was unsurprising, but still heartrending for lnedible. All the effort he went through was for nothing. He knew that war with Bardonia was pointless.

VIROLIAN COLLAPSE

lnedible agreed to peacefully hand Virolia back to Bardonia, provided he got his previous roles in the government returned to him.

He made one last announcement to the people of Port Solanaria in a speech, then retreated into the State Capital and signing the papers agreeing to hand Virolia back. All citizens of Virolia would be forgiven for any past Bardonia hate speech, everyone would get their roles back, and things would go back to normal

lnedible got to keep the title "Lord of Virolia".

Zion revealed that SHE WANTED VIROLIA TO STAY INDEPENDENT AND THOUGHT THAT A WEAK VIROLIA WOULD BE SEEN AS NOT A THREAT, SO PURPOSEFULLY ARGUED TO JAGDAS AND BACK WITH LNEDIBLE OVER EVERYTHING AND EVERYTHING (ZZB WHY)

She was sentenced to life in prison for crimes against the state, and was found dead the next day. lnedible is not suspected.

MODERN LNEDIBLE

lnedible and Zions relatives now live in peace (One of her relatives filled the Elder Potato spot she left behind) The 5th Elder Potato spot was filled by a mysterious man named Eleven (lnedible was not present for the vote).

lnedible is now a fair and just leader. He works solely for the benefit of the people of Port Solanaria. He established government reforms to make sure that no one can get too much power at once. He is not retired, despite not being as popular for handing Virolia back to Bardonia. He is now working to expand the walls of the city to make room for more and more growth, and working to make Virolia wealthy and prosperous.

(This character is a year old, and the overarching character arc was lnedible learning that its best to not kill people and have morals)
