Athalus Von Aetheria

The collapse of Emegir
Before rathnir was colonized by the nations of Stoneworks, lived a people who inhabited the land. And in that land, was the city of Emegir. No one knows the precise location, but in the tablets that were left behind, told of a beautiful city, full of prosperity. It was truly a prosperous civilization. But then one day, and no one knows how this happened, but people came in from the far reaching lands and raided the land. Emegir was no exception, and with the exploitation, almost the entire population of the people, who were called Kujlals, died. There were a few people that fled to the rivers and took the stone tablets with them.

Post-Collapse
After the collapse, the people who fled and settled in the river could not live as well as their ancestors. The collapse was so huge that the remaining Kujlals returned back to hunter gatherers and lost the once beautiful tounge. But, there was a ray of hope when a new language was formed, Kujlal, with some loan words from the old language such as alc, gold. But even with this new language surfacing, they were still poor. They maintained the old culture such as worshiping the sky and the desert, the Necei and the Pojec as the called it in Kujlal, and keeping the basic morals of compassion by knocking twice as wishing them good luck.

Athalus’s Journey
After 1000s of years passing by, there was still no progress. But, that will all change with the birth of Athalus. Ever since he was young, he was interested in history and read about Kujlal and even Rathnir history and was fascinated by it. As he grew older, his dreams started turning into aspirations, of glory, to reinstate the old city of Emegir. So he set off, saying goodbye to his parents, Gheqoq and Athena, to go on a journey to find the lost city and bring it back to life. After 5 years of trekking in the desert, he did not find the city, and was running low on food. As he lay by the river waiting for his last breath, a priest, walking by, saw him, and immediately picked him up. He took him to his local town of Gigney and gave him food and shelter.

Arrival in Gigney
Once the priest arrived in Gigney, Athalus was left without a family, and poor. But Astralz, immediately took responsibility to take him in and care for him, so, he decided to adopt him and give him the noble name of Zratki. As a thanks to the Preist, Tom Tukker, he adopted the local religion of Lunaism and the culture of the Aetherians. Later on, he was introduced to the rest of Dara-Lumonde, and swore loyalty to the nation and to help it.

Library
One of his most notable achievements is the construction of the Gigney Library. He spent 3 days straight building the structure, and became the tallest building in Gigney. The Library though will not serve any purpose apart from aesthetic purposes.

Reconstruction of Emegir
Like mentioned before, athalus still hasn’t given up on the dream of resurrecting the ancient civilization, and plans on building his city of Aliyat as a home for all Kujlals

A new Market
He also plans of the ambitious goal of being one of the richest people of Rathnir. He plans to create a market that people will come for building materials, useful items, and ores and will not go out of stock. Another way is to create an order system where people can buy and sell specialized items such as potions and enchantments.

Summary
The general story of Athalus is summarized here and starts with the ancient city of emegir of the ancient land of rathnir. No one knows the precise location but in words it was told of a beautiful city where there was an entire civilization. It was a prosperous city and they spoke a dialect of ancient celaronh. But then one dreadful day, people started appearing and raided the homeland. No one knows how this happened, but because of the lack of water and food because the new arrivals took it all, the population died. But a few managed to survive by fleeing to rivers and oceans all across rathnir. And they even took some stone tablets and pieces of literature with them. After centuries passing by, the old language was gone and replaced with Kujlal. There was almost no remnants of the old and great civilization except a few tablets. But one day, a brave and ambitious Kujlal set off to recreate the homeland. He travelled far and wide to find a suitable home, but to no avail. At the end, he was lying by the stream approaching his last breath, but fortunately, a noble priest came down and picked him up and led him to his home town of Gigney. His name was Tom Tukker. He later introduced athalus to the rest of Dara-Lumonde, who cared for him and took him in. In a way of thanks, he adopted the local culture. But his dream has not dissipated. One day, he promises he will recreate the once beautiful city, and on the sacred desert that came with it. For now, he is helping his fellow aetherians and the rest of his new home, Dara-Lumonde
