Damerus of Serredin

Overview
Damerus Kon, later known as Damerus of Serredin; was a native Abexian born in the Northwestern continent his people called Serredin, The Land of the Birds. The Empire of Serredia once ruled over those mighty grasslands, however the nation fell into ruin several hundred years before the departure from Ratham. Little archeological evidence can be found of the Serredians, however folk tales and songs from the Imperial days still remain.



Early Life-Pre. Departure
Damerus was born in the post-collapse village of Orithia, his father and mother died in a bandit raid when he was just a boy, his siblings were then also slain only a few years later, in this raid his entire village was destroyed and burnt to ash, his eye was then taken from him that day. Not only did it leave an indelible mark on his body but also a far more hidden and deeper crevice in his soul. When Damerus reached the age of eighteen he became a nomad and began to travel around the ruins of the Far South scrounging for resources in the rubble of fallen civilizations. One day while collecting scrap metal, he happened to look up into the sky.. only to see the planet of Ratham annihilated in front of his eyes. The comet he had watched for months seemingly struck the planet, before realizing the true extent of the destruction, chunks of asteroids and firey debris from Ratham began landing around him. Damerus soon took his pack horse and mounted him racing towards the a sea cave complex that dotted the coastline. For three days he waited inside the cave as small pieces of flaming debris continued to strike around him. On the third day the showers of meteorites ceased, Damerus rode out from his cave upon his horse, staring into the night sky, he saw millions of blinking lights descending, millions would not do it justice, perhaps billions of lights more countable than stars in the sky. At this moment, Damerus knew his home would never again be safe, and that a new era had begun. Damerus then took his boat and he took his horse, and he began to sail homewards.

The Arrival to the North
Damerus sailed for seven days from the South to the North of Abexilas, he passed strange bewildered people on the coastlines, however he passed them by with no care for them. Damerus then came to a stop on the seventh day as he came upon the land he called home, Serredins long and fertile coasts welcomed him home. However something was not right, campfire smoke billowed out from the treetops and stange voices echoed through the woods and stoney shores. It was clear to him a new people had come upon his home. Making his way through the vast woods, the voices grew more rapturous and loud, he came upon a clearing where a yellow and green flag had been planted boldy on a hill, surrounding the flag a temporary campsite had been erected with thousands of small white and green tents and a few crude unfinished wooden buildings. Staying in the tree line concealed by a few large bushes, Damerus looked on as a few men wearing simple armor pieces sparred with each other. After reconning this strange site, he made his way back into the woods and began to sleep.
