Fenn

Fenn is a human with maroon hair and deep red eyes. He usually wears a dark tan, scholarly-styled coat with blue pants and a white undershirt. He wears an old, modified netherite helmet (which has very little protective value in actuality), and a thick, leather brace on his left arm; which hides a debilitating burn, but also helps to render his arm functional. He is the author of the Home and Hell book series, which details his past and his experiences in Rathnir.

Books
The Home and Hell book starts with Fenn's arrival into Rathnir, and is the only publicly-released book in the series. Fenn had started to write two sequels to the first - as well as two prequels, but the drafts were stolen from Falsor near the end of 2020 and have been lost since.

Aftyra
Fenn spent the first 12 years of his childhood in a large, extremely distant village named Aftyra; which had vastly different customs and beliefs than most Rathnir and Eldham settlements. Not much is known about the village and their customs, due to Fenn being the only living Aftyran. Aftyra was a cold town located to the far east of Rathnir, situated at the base of (and built along the edge of) a large, snowy mountain range. Something ambiguous happened to Aftyra around 15 years before Fenn arrived in Rathnir, causing his journey into Hell and the fiery destruction of his home.

Hell
During the destruction of Aftyra, Fenn was forced into an unstable, rudimentary Nether portal, where he would spend the next 15 (?) years adapting to the environment and travelling in one direction - west. While Fenn was trapped in Hell, he learned how to thrive in the unforgiving landscape and discovered a hidden force of the dimension that he called Primality.

Primality acts simultaneously as a consciousness and a plague, and only really begins to affect people that spend an extremely extended amount of time in the Nether (symptoms began at around 7 months in Hell for Fenn). Primality is aptly named, as it is the sentient force that causes the natives of the Nether to gradually lose their own consciousness and operate almost solely on primal instincts. While most natives are born with this connection, the Piglin race seems to almost be an exception, due to their high mental capacity and strong-willed consciousness. Fenn theorizes that Piglins would be a smarter, superior race to humans if they were not trapped within the Nether for so long.

Though most of the effects of Primality are felt within the Nether, long-term effects include severe long-term memory loss, some short-term memory loss, low resistance to cold temperatures, an inability to completely adapt to the overworld's atmosphere, and an uncanny connection to Hell.
