Alessandro Khirmon I

Early life
Born into a small family on the outskirts of the large cities of the Kingdom of Lenoria, he was a hyperactive little boy, always with an eye on honor, humility and loyalty, he inherited this from his father Leonardo Khirmon to whom he would give his name. , and consequently his last name "Alessandro Khirmon". His father (Leonardo) was an honorable man, and in good faith, loyal to the crown and his ideals, always looking for the good of his companions and family regardless of the situation, he served in the army for 20 years until his retirement due to a crossbow shot in the leg, right to the knee, this being his last day, he left the army at the age of 50, and although he has not contributed much, he never hesitated to fulfill his duty and defend the Kingdom. Because of this Alessandro always wanted to be like him, for this reason, when he came of age, he would decide to enlist in Lenoria's army seeking to achieve fame, glory, honor and fulfill his duty, defend the country and the King, bringing his last name and his family to the recognition it deserves. This is just his beginning, this is the beginning of his story, this is Alessandro Khirmon!



At a somewhat late age, and when he had the slightest chance, he joined Lenoria's army at the age of 19. During these years he trained with the reserve forces and perfected his technique to a decent level, however his teachers always pointed out the long road ahead of him, after his training and being a proper soldier he decided to take a few weeks off, since that he had not seen his family in 6 long years, when he returned a surprise awaited him, in the time in which he was fighting and training his parents had conceived another brother named Niccolò, after this great news Alessandro would stay celebrating with his family for a time to then return to his comrades in arms. Some time later, and after Lenoria ceding land to Aragotha, the situation in the country was unstable, the old generals had left without warning to anyone knows where, leaving him as the candidate to be chosen. That being the case, at the age of 25 Alessandro took a great leap and a great honor, something he had hoped and dreamed of since he was little: Being appointed by King Enthu as General of the Kingdom of Lenoria. After his appointment and with many eyes on his tenure, he wasted no time and (with the King's backing) reformed the rusty Lenorian combat and enlistment system, setting minimum skill requirements, however, he also noticed not put aside those already belonging to the army, creating new ranks, and ordering them and sending trainers and teaching new fighting techniques to renew the army. But enough about his military life, how did he make a living and what did he do apart from his military career? At the age of 26, and already being of a clear age for marriage, he tried to woo a lady, without success, until he met a friend of the princess, whom he would know as "Lunar", after a few months of vai Come, they established a link, poor Alessandro who at that moment did not know, it was all a farce to try to assassinate him, the supposed "couple" was an assassin hired by an anonymous person to try to kill Alessandro, which they almost succeeded in, if not because he was poorly armed and chose a bad moment to act (Khirmon had his full armor on), he would have succeeded, after this, and swearing revenge against this person, he was left alone to this day at the age of 27 (yes, continues looking for a partner, it seems that he did not learn).

On other side, he wins his life via two ways: swining his pickaxe on any mine he can find, and as pretty much said before, being the general of lenoria.

Exploring and finding love
Alessandro wandered through distant lands, looking for new business opportunities and perhaps some connection, be it political, military, or whatever was possible, after a few days traveling he would find himself in the Kingdom of Medinae, in which, and after reviewing the city's billboards, he saw how the princess of Medinae, "Diane", was looking for a husband. At that moment, Alessandro had an idea... the idea of ​​getting married, and although he did not know it, he applied to be a candidate for husband, after a swing with other candidates he was chosen, surprised and happy by this news, he would return to Lenoria to tell of the good news, which would be received in different ways, most of them with joy and happiness from others. After some talks, dates, and so on Alessandro managed to woo Diane, and after a very quick wedding (couldn't match IRL schedules) They were consummated in marriage, making Alessandro officially the husband of Princess Diane de Medinae  at 27.

On the other hand, Queen Zofia came back to life! After a ritual performed by King Enthu, he managed to revive her... Big mistake, the queen who did not have any power within Lenoria, left it, buying some islands called "Tulip Islands", in revenge for, according to gossip, his murder by the Lenorian government and disgusted by the general situation of Lenoria, she hired a group of mercenaries to carry out raids on the capital of Lenoria, Havendi. This worked out for her, or so she thought, since at the moment she attacked Lenoria, Alessandro (the kingdom's general) was not present and could not manage the defense, but in the middle of the attack he managed to arrive, reorganize the troops and launch a counteroffensive against the mercenaries and ex-queen Zofia, this resulted in a landslide victory for the Lenorian side, repelling the invasion. No retaliation could be taken, this because Aragotha ​​decided that no military action could be taken against the autonomous Tulip Isles, enraged at such facts, the Lenorians limited themselves to simply humiliating Zofia through letters and other methods.

Couple months have passed since the last events descripted (in game, it has nearly a week irl).

Diary
“Incredibly, the threats from the rebels, which every day seem to be more and more, had an effect in Lenoria. During my stay away from my wife in Medinae to exercise with the Lenorian soldiers, earn some extra money, improve my equipment and help with other tasks, Lenoria suffered several attacks or "raids" by different armed and well-equipped groups. Fortunately, two of the 3 times this happened I was present. In the first raid it was by Zofia, luckily it was a disorganized attack and I managed to repel him by myself in a 3v1 against other well equipped mercenaries. In the second, we were not so lucky. While I was coming back from the mine, it is seen that some Bardonians tried and raided Lenoria... When I arrived, I was able to barely escape from the combat, I put on my war gear and managed to defeat them with the help of an Ashai soldier, in the third, and the More recently, it was a lightning attack, they killed some of ours and they left as fast as they came, It didn't give myself time to react and fight them. That's all for today, end of note.”

Alessandro managed to adopt a Son with Diane thru the “Heraldry Guild” system, with a smile in his face, he teachs him the way of the sword, what it´s the meaning after it and why its so important for the Warriors to know it.

Zoffia strikes back: Zoffia, the cowardly former queen of Lenoria, whose betrayal will be marked in the books, challenge Alessandro to a singular duel in commercial lands, a 1v1. Alessandro, seeing this fight as an opportunity for revenge, agreed to the duel. He arrived at the right place, the renowned "55" market. With some suspicion, she said, and a mixture of rage and anger, she saw Zoffia back. She, without warning, charged against Alessandro, who was already prepared for such a dirty strategy, fought and dominated the fight, until (seeing that he was losing the fight) Zoffia began to run through the market corridors, trying to flee from the fight. Alessandro was chasing her without knowing that all this was a vile trap planted by her, as soon as Alessandro lost sight of her for a second, an attack from another person came out of nowhere, it was another warrior, when Zoffia recovered, she returned to combat.

The supposed "duel" was nothing more than a trap planted by Zoffia, to then cowardly call reinforcements to help her. Alessandro, seeing this, was enraged and charged into battle, he tried with all his might, but it was useless. His potion effects were already gone, he couldn't do anything anymore, he didn't have a chance. In this already tame battle, Alessandro tried to escape, but couldn't... In some kind of divine intervetion, Enthu, his king came to the rescue, however, to no avail. He had no potions or the equipment to fight. Khirmon and Enthu surrendered, hearing Zoffia's vile sneer as they withdrew from the so-called "duel".

Following this plot, the raids have not stopped in Havendi, Lenoria. In fact, they have increased even more than before. Zoffia does not give up and persists in continuing to attack the minority, sending bandits and herself to attack the aforementioned city. But something good comes with all this, and that is that these last months Lenoria saw a great growth in its population, it expanded and now it is planning new constructions and remodeling to Havendi. Alessandro on the other hand, is dedicated to training his army almost daily as always, including of course his son.

A few words from Alessandro:

"The quality of the Lenorian army has improved recently, with more fit recruits, there is a good chance to defend against future attacks by Zoffia and her traitors. For my part, I have been concentrating on improving my equipment and trying to reach as many of money possible to be able to finance myself and the army if necessary."

“I don´t know how to start writing this… Ashai is probabily going to attack us and take our land, i can´t imagine a world where Lenoria doesnt exist, Lenoria is my life and my home, if ashai dares to attack Lenoria and tries to take it, i Will fall with it. Nonetheless, im not a stupid one, i have set a scape route to Bardonia, Valoore, and others possibles nations im Friends with, If we can´t win the war or avoid it, at least i Will get as many  citizens out of Lenoria. I hope I am  wrong and all of this is just bullshit, I really hope it…”

It seems like the doom of Lenoria has not happened yet, but a war is coming, in fact, Alessandro is fighting as we speak. He is defending Lenoria Allys, Aquivia to fight against raiders from Burgaria. He and the rest of the defends got taken by surprise, without noticing, the enemy had sneak up around and then behind them to launch an attack on their backs, when they realized… it was too late, they fought valiantly, but they were greatly outnumbered and outgeared. They tried to held them off in the few structures that the kingdom of aquivia had to offer in somewhat of a desesparate resistance, but the battle itself was lost since the beggining. Alessandro and the few survivors had to flee the battleground, due to the situation being in favor of the enemy and the soldiers were breaking the formations, sadly an without option, they surrender.

In this battle Alessandro lost his recently adquired Netherite Helmet, it was a great loss, but the King of Aquivia swear to him that he Will pay the costs of the neth Helm.

Said and done, the King acomplish his Word, kind of late, but months after the war he delivered Alessandro a good shaped Helm, altought it doenst have all the things the original one that khirmon used to wear, it still works.

In others words, Alessandro managed to amasse quite a Good fortune, taking in count his multiple armor sets, netherite Helm, and the newest adquisitons to his name (full enchanted diamond pickaxe and a maxed trident) hes among the richest people of Lenoria.

The Khadat elections are here, and hes choosing very carefully, ¿Who Will be the best candidate?, he has already chosen one. But only time Will tell if he chose the right one.

2 years have passed since the Khadat elections, and many events have happened, many of them affecting the way in which Lenoria will behave in the future. But let's start at the beginning, a year after Alessandro voted in the Khadat elections, his vote paid off, the elected Senator made good laws, and helped Lenoria's economy in general. On the other hand, Alessandro managed to marry the daughter of King Enthu, (Kora), who is one of the two heirs to the Lenorian throne, this will open many doors for Alessandro, and his new newborn "Artorius Khirmon-Lihon", which is the result of the union between Alessandro and the previously mentioned Princess Kora. In other more geopolitical matters, Lenoria's enemy, Tulipanów found himself against the ropes, for some reason, they decided to go to Eldham and leave Rathnir, giving the possessions on the islands back to Lenoria, thus getting rid of a nuisance, and getting new land.

Some words of Alessandro Khirmon:

"I am quite happy with the state of Lenoria, with the new recruits and citizens, Lenoria is more active than ever, the state grows and so does the economy as well as the army. It is really an exquisite feast for the palate to see new constructions, new faces, and people with ambitions willing to serve the kingdom."

As the time pass, so did the fortune of our protagonist, Alessandro. He trained the soldiers as usual, until one day one of his son reached him with a letter: "Want a really good opportunity?"

Alessandro was reunited with his firstborn, Stefma, in Valorore. Stefma told Alessandro that he was the right-hand man of the king of Valorore, and that they were now in the Ministerial elections. Stefma wanted him to participate in the elections as Grand Minister, which Alessandro accepted.

Surprisingly, he won the elections, and dedicated himself (also training the Lenorian forces) to help Valorore grow, he dedicated himself to reforming the laws stipulated by Valorore in his chamber, since they were somewhat chaotic as well as putting a mandatory weekly recap, this mandatory weekly recap is for the public to see what their ministers did on this week, to see if theyre incompetent or they did make progress to improve Valoore. On the other hand, in Lenoria, Artorius finally became fit to start learning about military matters, every so often Alessandro met with his son to teach him basic fencing and military strategy. Adding to this, Alessandro finally recovers his wealth sitting at a good 300k ammount.

Final days
I am still the elected general of Lenoria, although my age is already taking its toll.

Fortunately, the Pickle God has smiled on me. And after a chance encounter, in what seemed and could well have been a simple dream, he granted me immortality. But at a price.

I was appointed as protector of Pickilism, with my pseudonym being "The Knight", as its name indicates, my duty is to protect each believer who believes in my God. In other news, I have lost contact with my children, as they have dedicated themselves to a much quieter life than mine.

New entry: It's been a good chunk of time since my last post. An entity, supposedly the God above Gods, who proclaims himself as "Rathnir", the name of the world itself, communicated to us through what appears to be magic, a statement saying that the "world would end" shortly. I don't know if I believe him. But I hope it's not true, however, he also promised us an exit to a new and better world called "Abexilas".

In other matters, I was participating in several wars against Ashai's enemies, losing some, and winning others. In one of the most recent ones, I killed a good warrior called "Lost Voice" in a... somewhat peculiar way. Let's leave it that way.

On the other hand, I have managed to amass a good fortune, about 500k Rathnir coins.

That's all for today.

New entry: I am currently in a dilemma, my King, King Enthu, has been proclaimed as a "God", and the vast majority of citizens have been moved by their religion, abandoning Pickilism in one way or another. There are only a few left who truly worship the Pickle God, I'm old now, I'm not going to lie, the only thing that probably keeps me alive is the "immortality" that the Pickle God has granted me.

I haven't talked much about my brother in this time, but Niccolo is also old, and is already his age, if I remember correctly, almost 70. Unfortunately, he denies the existence of the Pickle God, and instead, chose to worship our God-King, Enthu. There's not much to talk about him really. He followed in my footsteps and joined the army a few years after me. Unfortunately for the lineage, he has no children or wife. "He does not consider them necessary," in his words.

In any case, the much proclaimed day of the end of the world is approaching, and I can feel how, little by little, my immortality is fading, as believers do. I'm not afraid for my life, it would be idiotic to do so. I have lived much longer than any other senior my age and I am happy and grateful for that.

If this is the last entry: Niccolo, if for some reason you read this, good luck little brother, your last years will surely be spent in a new world full of wonders. Long live Lenoria & Praise Thy Pickle!
