Throsaere Kotudaar

Throsaere Kreti 'Frintox' Kotudaar (Demiarbézian: Trosár Krēti 'Frintoķ' Kotudār) is the Patriarch of the Royal Family of Demiarbéz, a "Federal Mayor" in a city belonging to Demiarbéz, Stefani of Guhenism, and the Commissar of Culture in Demiarbéz. He was born in a Huzan-native village in Sparwood. He is the founder of the Demiarbézian dynasty of Kotudaar, with his son, Yelpax Kotudaar. His original family name was Frintox, an ancient family most would say.

Origins
Throsaere is born in a Huzan village that's located in Sparwood. The village would cease to exist due to unknown or unspecified reasons. As a young child, Throsaere was very skinny with a mixed skin color of green and cyan due to his parents being a huzan native woman and a human. The other children whom he was surrounding with, either liked him or hated him for his different characteristics. Amidst those events, his father also had to return to Ummarnu, due to diplmatic reasons. Of course, young and innocent Throsaere thought he would one day return, instead however, his father had started a new family there.

Apart from the fact that Throsaere can be considered an improved homosapien, his father has ancient ancestors with de facto inhuman characteristics and abilities. It's a tradition in the family to name the newborns after great ancestors of the family, thus his name and nickname - Throsaere, Throx. In fact, one of the few known Frintox members who were alive at the time, Throsaere's nephew, welds the name Akelis. Tradition away, it's a genetic thing inthe family, the ancestral symbols depicted as birthmarks that both Akelis and Throsaere have.

Native village
As mentioned already, Throsaere was either liked or mocked because of his different characteristics but apart from that, his childhood was decent until his early teenage years. When young Throsaere had reached 12 years old, his mother contracted an unknown at the time disease, and therefore he had to find a job. He looked all around the small village and could only find one place that would hire him at this age - a butchery. He worked hard in that butchery for 2 years, and then when the first school was opened he enrolled and began studying linguistics and philosophy. At the age of 16, he built an interest in poetry and began writing poems under the pen name of his nickname - Throx. Although, that didn't last long as he only wrote a few poems and gave up, instead, he continued to study his beloved linguistics and philosophy. When he was 19, he began his career as a linguist in the same school. Next year, as a fun project with his students, he created the language Machasīkani language from mixed Huzan dialects. Although Throsaere was basically having the time of his life, he couldn't yet forget his mother still had the disease. Sadly, after an year, his mother passed away and he left the village to work in Avaria.

Nomadic ages
Throsaere had chosen to start his journey as a semi-nomad when he was 23 years old. He stayed in Avaria for approx. three years before continuing to explore Sparwood. Since the school in his village was mainly for linguistics and philosophy, they had not teached him that there were any other land apart from Sparwood. However, a moment in his semi-nomadic journey would change that, as when he was at Tovarisha, he'd spot land across the ocean. Throsaere immedietally started to look for a way to get to that land across, so he thought of a boat but he didn't have enough money or resources to buy one, so he just stole. He swam and eventually arrived at Alteniquia. Throsaere was surprised to see land other than Sparwood. He wandered around a bit and then, since it was new land, he thought it would be dangerous, so he sailed back to Sparwood. During his trip back to Sparwood, he suddenly had a nostalgia trip of his old home. He decided to go check out his village. ... It was not welcoming. The villagers were massacred and the buildings were burned and demolished. There were a few survivors who were looking around, as they had no idea who could have done this. Eventually, the men and Throsaere would spot two young men, humans. They immedietally assumed it was their fault, so they started chasing them. Those men in question would be Throsaere's nephew, Akelis, and his friend, Karsius. Akelis and Karsius successfully escaped from the natives with their boats, meanwhile, Throsaere had noticed a Tovarishan soldier. The soldier, alarmed at the situation he spotted, began shouting at the natives for their identification and pulled out a bow. After the men did not respond fast enough, the soldier started shooting at them, kiling most, while Throsaere had escaped already. He hid in Alteniquia for 9 years and constantly suffered from PTSD due to those events.

Moving to BarbAtlas, Viodoxa
After those 9 years of recovering, Throsaere decides to move on, explore even more land, find a new home. He eventually encounters Viodoxa City. There he notices the big defensive walls, which he tries to climb to explore the city. Suddenly, he is met by another person who starts shooting at him without saying a word. Luckily, Throsaere escapes with a few bruises and eventually arrives at BarbAtlas. There he is welcomed by the mayor at the time, Andreas Zevedeos, and gives him a tour. Throsaere recieves his citizenship there and is given a two-story house with a large basement. After that, he began his career in BarbAtlas as a fisherman and a farmer. Throsaere temporarily joined the Adytum militia, where the first photo of himself is taken. However, after he get's an offer by the mayor which he accepts and leaves BarbAtlas, which would later be merged into Viodoxa, his home still stays.

Reviving Demiarbéz
When Throsaere was at age 39. the Imperial Archonate of Viodoxa was annexed by the Archonal Imperial Union, after peace negotiations were held. Since the war had ended, he left the Adytum militia. When coming back to BarbAtlas, a little before leaving the militia, he would be welcomed by the mayor again and would get a life-changing offer. Zevedeos had been authorised to organize the unorganized territory in the corner of the map by reviving an ancient province by the name Demiarbéz. Zevedeos had offered that he come with him and even told him that he could possible recieve a government role. Throsaere hesitated at first, as he just started a new life in BarbAtlas, but eventually followed Andreas. When they arrived at the place, they met with two other men who were also invited by Zevedeos to join the province. They began talking about the future of the province, and Throsaere along with another man agreed to donate 20k each for the province, although that never happened. After quite the reconsidering, Andreas and the two other men recieved their towns, while Throsaere was given the role of Ministry of Economy. Andreas, who was now Etriarch, gave himself the town of Lacurb and gave the town Zariliya to a guy named Xeno, while Fermopolis was given to the same man who was gonna donated 20k to the province. Fermopolis would be considered the capital city of the province.

Return to linguistics
Because he was now affiliated with a new place such as a province, he swore to help it as much as he could. He decided to return to his old occupation of a linguist and began scavenging Demiarbéz for some form of a language remnant, just like he did in his home village. He eventually found an ancient family of languages which really did belong to the Demiarbézians who inhabited the region long time ago. He decided to take the most modern one, and recover it. He eventually formed a somewhat dialect of the Hanzeizh language.

Doi-Behuier Corps
Throsaere and the other mayors are spectating squatter activity, wondering what they're gonna do about it. They turned to the Etriarch, and he replied that the Archon will wage war against the squatters. Throsaere, of course loyal to the Etriarch and Demiarbéz, joined the Doi-Behuier Corps, the Viodoxan military. Usually, Throsaere is not the man to fight, but he still had diamond armor just in case. He began to train, and quickly began to learn new skills in battle. However, he was still an intern in the army, he was ready to fight for Demiarbéz and its independence from squatters.

Mayor of Fermopolis
The mayor of Fermopolis turned out to be a traitor to the Archonal Union, and the town was left without a mayor. Throsaere notices this and asks the Etriarch for details. Then, Throsaere was offered thе role of mayor of Fermopolis, something he had been waiting for a long time. He gladly accepted, but there was a problem. As of February 27, the mayor had not officially resigned and this prevented Throsaere from doing anything ...

The next day, Throsaere managed to get in touch with the previous mayor. He handed over his title to Throsaere, now officially. After being the new mayor of Fermopolis, he decided to enlarge the city and clean up. Because he didn't know what to call the round building in the center of the city, he named it 'Central Plaza'. He then changed his name from Fermopolis to Nova Ohrid, respectfully. He did not like the name as it came from the Oslav language, and it did not fit. At one point, while cleaning, he found an old calendar and old books. Very old. He decides to read the books after cleaning. When he cleaned up and then read the books, he realised that these are ancient books from hundreds of years ago. These were historical books on the mythology of Demiarbéz. The calendar he had found was called the MythoCalendar. According to the book, the calendar counted the years since the birth of the first Demiarbéz god in mythology. He calculated the current year according to the calendar, and the date was the Kotudaar era of 1014. He was amazed and decided to talk to the Etriarch about this. The Etriarch provided him with ties to the Minister and the Etriarch of Valron so that they could discuss common plans. Throsaere's plan was to clarify the mythology, and the other provinces to be inspired by this mythology. And the Minister also had ideas for the neighboring provinces of Valron (Demiarbéz included).

The loss of a family member
Throsaere's family has a really big history. Throsaere didn't know anyone of his family, except for his mother and father. That is until, he'd recieve news all the way from the Huitca Federation. Throsaere finds out for the first time, that he has a step-nephew. That step-nephew being Akelis. However, the receieved news aren't with a happy tone, but perhaps with a very sad one. He learns out that Akelis had disappeared during the act of war. Although, Throsaere had no idea about the existance of Akelis, he was very sad about that. Throsaere learned about these news from Akelis' friend who was also an important figure in the politics of the Federation. Throsaere accepted Akelis' dog, but demands his house stays abandoned and untouched. " I have not known for decades that there are any other descendants of my ancient bloodline Frintox. I have never met that young man, and I never will. May your soul rest well in the Aether. - Throsaere's statement on his nephew's 'death'."

The path to the true beliefs
150? TE

Throsaere has been born and raised as an Atheist his entire life. His mother was an Atheist, as well as his father, although he had slight Huitcan beliefs. His Huzan village had a different belief, however no-one tried to force their religion onto Throsaere and vice versa. After going on to live as a nomad and then settling in the IAU, he has not adapted any belief. That is, until one day in Demiarbéz. The province would recieve a visitor. From what Throsaere knew about Viodoxa, they've had a religion since the founding - Guhenism. The Guhenists have a Stefani. The Stefani at the time was Romanus I "The Young". Throsaere had seen him before, as Etriarch Andreas would recently have been announced as Patriarch of the Cymru Guhenist Church. That visitor, was the Stefani Romanus. Throsaere decided to approach him and see what's going on. The Stefani would bring him the news of Andreas' proclamation of the title Patriarch. Romanus would also ask if Throsaere was a fellow Guhenist, but he explained that he was Atheist. Romanus would tell him that he can be baptised anytime he wants. As Throsaere had other stuff to do, he slightly nodded and walked away.

On the 21st of May, Throsaere would read more about Guhenism and the belief itself. He had made up his mind. He quickly contacted the Stefani for baptisation. Romanus would reply to him after a few minutes. They arranged a meeting in Viodoxa City near the waters that bordered with the island, they were holy enough. Throsaere arrived there and he was told the Nine Commandments of the LADY, then he had to promise that he would follow and love Her with all of his heart. And finally, he was baptised by Stefani Romanus I. Throsaere had now achieved the real beliefs.

A place in the Government of Viodoxa
His friend Andreas, Etriarch of Demiarbéz, would unfortunately go on a long trip away from home. He asked Throsaere to take on his position as Etriarch of the province but initially he declined. However, after having been interviewed by the Regent Archon Ryou Bakura anyway, he would officially be announced the Etriarch of the Demiarbéz province. Throsaere would self-proclaim himself as "Regent Etriarch" until he would prove himself to be worthy of the position, it was clear that being Etriarch was something big to him. He would announce it to the public with a letter, stating that he understands he can be replaced as well if he often has absences and along with that, he stated the changes he made of the first day of his Etriarch reign. Those would be flag reforms and opening direct recruiting through the Minister of Recruiting, Maximal, instead of waiting to advance the province unlike the previous plans of the Etriarch Andreas. After having announced that, he went to his old friend from Huitca, Vansh, and told him about it. Vansh congratulated him, and out of excitement, Throsaere would reveal plans that were not executed yet. One of those being the "real" founding dynasty of Demiarbéz - Kotudaar. The house of Kotudaar was supposed to be inspired from the Mythology which was still being translated by Throsaere at the time. Vansh said he can adopt him into the royal house of Huitca and have direct claim of the throne but he declined and stated that he still wanted Kotudaar to be a thing. Vansh then proposed a marriage between his Viodoxan daughter, Alvara, and him. He said he'd reconsider as Alvara was a follower of the Twin Dragon religion and Throsaere was Guhenist, therefore he wanted a Guhenist marriage with a Guhenist priest in a Guhenist church.

The seceeding states
The Dark Ages have come upon Viodoxa once again, with Eisenland, Aussay, Avertico and Regonia (Now Avegonia) had seceeded from the Imperial Archonal Union. Along with that, Loic dem Spheniscidae would resign and lend his post to Hávi Asagrim, leaving Ryou Bakura as the Archon. A few days after that, Istanboulder would foolishly chose to secede as well, just as Throsaere began a research and an investigation between the similarities of Demiarbézian and Istanboulderite people. When he heard the news, he immedietally stopped the research. Since in some ways, seceding states+war with Paradise=Weak IAU, Throsaere decided to start taking Demiarbéz and the Union even more seriously. He'd try to dedicate as much as he can to exploit the farms and, even if little, help to pay out the debt from Paradise. Along with that, he gathered 'merceneries' and his friend Xeno, Minister of Culture, to start solving the ancient culture and history of Demiarbéz. It was clear to Throsaere that something was hidden in Demiarbéz and he was willing to find it. The fact that two benefitial integrations happened recently, just eased the work. All of a sudden, his student, Jotan, would come in to help. Jotan had been studying Early Demiarbézian for months now and has been reading scripts of what made up the language, he was convinced that the language needed reforms. Throsaere agreed with him and Jotan went to work with reforming Demiarbézian, while he kept summarising and translating the mythology found in the Town Hall.

House of Kotudaar
168 TE

Long time ago, the previous Etriarch of Demiarbéz had tasked him with finding out a suitable and important character in the Mythology so he can base off the name of the Royal Family of Demiarbéz. That never happened due to his resignation, but Throsaere kept thinking about it. It's an incredible fact that, Throsaere actually had a son for around 18 years with the public not knowing because his son became anti-social and had to be home-schooled. His son, Yelpax, only made apperances alongside his father, which happened rarely as Throsaere was often busy with working on the province and not making those fancy parades about him or anything like that, he just wanted to return the greatness of the ancient Demiarbéz. He eventually took the decision to form the dynasty, House of Kotudaar, with only his adoptive son. He decided to announce it publically, to see if he could grow the dynasty, the easy way. Only one person approached him at the time, Uprightlizard16. Throsaere adopted him as his brother, while also going to ask his old friend Andreas if he would like to join as well. Andreas agreed and married a native woman who had been already part of the dynasty. Then, Andreas and the woman named Duzana had two sons and a daughter with Demiarbézian names - Aris, Sölčan Zevedeos and Berengaria Falčana Zevedea. Andreas' daughter Falčana would marry King Cassius Potentia of Galaddon, becoming Queen Berengaria Falčana Potentia of Galadonn. Besides all of that, Throsaere has only one biological son, and that would be Regyemir whose mother is a Demiarbézian native that sadly died during childbirth. At age 34, Regyemir converted to Demiarbézian Paganism and that caused very heated tensions between him and Throsaere, which would eventually lead to Regyemir leaving the VSCA and becoming a nomad.

"Goodbye, son.."
181 TE

As already mentioned, Throsaere's son was very unknown to the public. He disliked being around the citizens of his country as he was scared to be critisized for his royal status in the Demiarbézian hierarchy. Apart from that, Throsaere tried to hide him as much as he can, due to the fact, his mother was unknown. The only information about her is that she was a native, but after Yelpax was born, she left a piece of paper which read "Goodbye" to Throsaere. Throsaere, himself, did not know much about the woman as.. Well.. Times were tough, to say the least... As if this wasn't enough reasoning, Yelpax had also left to Haven for his military training, which lasted 7 years. After Yelpax had returned, welcomed, by his father Throsaere, he was amazed by the outside world of Haven. He already knew knowledge about the world of Rathnir from his father's teachings and experience but he had never been around himself. Yelpax grew ambitious to visit the entirety of Rathnir with limited resources as to not only put a challenge for himelf, but also hide his royal status in Cymru. At first, Yelpax was planning to leave without telling his father and leaving a note as he knew Throsaere would not allow him, as it was too dangerous. His plans, however, were ruined, when he was packing his stuff and Throsaere caught him. Throsaere, worried, began questioning Yelpax. Their conversation drastically changed from a civil conversation to a stressed argument. Yelpax eventually was emotionally overloaded and stormed away, running past his father, and off to the world of Rathnir.

Nowadays, Yelpax has been sending letters with limited text due to how far the two are. Some letters make it, some don't, some come with a delay, but it doesn't matter for Throsaere as long as he knows his son is doing well out there for he will love him as his son forever.

Moving...
169 TE

Very unfortunate to Throsaere but it has come to his understanding that it would be for the better if he ceded the rest of Demiarbéz to State of Confusion. That is, because he was recently informed that Sirradra and State of Confusion were in good relations, and even were in favor of Kogan's coup. He'd been proposed multiple times to do so, by his friend and former Etriarch Andreas, but Throsaere was always unsure. Until he consulted with Kogan himself and he advised that Demiarbéz joined State of Confusion. Eventually, Throsaere agreed to it and even made a vote to see the opinion of the citizens. He established the Akenastic Etriarchate of Demiarbéz and proclaimed himself as Akenas.

Resignation
184 TE

A tragedic event would occur... Kotudaar would begin having symptoms of coughing blood and troubled breathing. He'd call the best doctors in the entire VSCA, but they all said it's an unknown disease. Throsaere would be quick to speculate that he had gotten sick by the same disease his mother died from. He aknowledged his unavailability to rule, so he gave Demiarbéz into the hands of his Regent Xeno. Then, Kotudaar would get much worse, to the point he could barely get out of bed on his own, and along with that, he had to work on the Government of Demiarbéz. He resigned from his position of Akenas, and then Xeno became the new ruler of the Region. Kotudaar was convinced he is going to pass away soon, so he decided to make the formation of the Demiarbézian Government his only mission, as to give the Region a guaranteed future with a functioning government. However, due to Kotudaar's distrust of Xeno's absolute rule, he would verbally create a Provisional Government, which put the ruling title of Demiarbéz - The Federäz Council. But after not much time, he realised that it didn't limit his power much, so he scrapped his old plans for a Government and began from scratch. He would begin working on a Democratic Monarchy.

Demiarbéz: Lost
206 TE

It's now a new century, and Throsaere's case hasn't gotten any better. His sickness has slowed, but even the best doctors of his are certain that it will not go away. Amongst all of this fear from this sickness, Kotudaar's paranoia would grow higher and higher. Especially, after his son Regyemir would adopt Demiarbézian paganism as his beliefs, and Kotudaar, having to kick him out for it. He feels guilt of his action, but that time has passed. Now, aside from his sickness, he has faced another tragedy. It was clear that the Demiarbézian identity was fading away, ever since moving to the VSCA. His titles, along with the Demiarbézian government, would lose legitimacy and the Regional Communication Service *IC: the discord server of the region* would be shut down due to complications. Kotudaar's faith in Demiarbézian revival was lost... And aside from that, after the reforms in the VSCA, now called the Aeternum Order of Hireathium and Requiem, Throsaere's power in the nation would be lowered, although that didn't really matter for him, except for the fact that he had an important role in the constitution, more specifically, the court system of the nation.

The Attempts
During the Dark Age of Demiarbéz, from 206 to 245 TE, Throsaere would make attempts at regaining more authority to Demiarbéz's name. That would include actively conspiring against the Aeternum government which would eventually come to a decision that the attempt was not practical. The conspiring would end after the establishment of the South Aeternum Regional Council, which itself in turn would unite the power of the mayors in the mentioned region. Kotudaar had realized that his ideals could be achieved through diplomatic and democratic reforms, so that's what he headed to. He began writing a manifesto which would later be examined by the government and eventually Throsaere would begin writing an official government reform act based off the manifesto. However, just when the reforms steadily began taking action, it would be apparent that a reunification with the neighbouring Sirradra could likely occur. This would result in Throsaere indirectly continuing his conspirations against the Aeternum government, halting the reforms.

A place in the Government of Sirradra
245 TE

The awaited reunification with Sirradra would finally happen, welcomed with cheers and feasts by the people. Naturally, Throsaere would once again be a government official, essentially being assigned the role of Rector (lord of a province) of Demiarbéz. However, Throsaere's sickness hadn't gone anywhere and it hadn't gotten better. He temporarily became a dictator, as he couldn't bother to establish a government yet, while he was still setting up in the new environment. That would last until 247 TE, from then until 259 TE Kotudaar would esatblish a triumviral governorate with him as the Supreme Governor and Governors: 07 and Manolaqis. During this period, Throsaere would work on the first constitution of Demiarbéz which would be ratified in 259 TE. After that, the Sebastokratoria of Demiarbéz was established.

Resignation
262 TE

After making the most vital reforms based on the Constitution, Throsaere would reign for a bit but after experiencing a miracle he would resign. As he had no authentic successors, he appointed Xeno Maxwell-Bakura as the Second Sebastokrator of Demiarbéz.

The Miracle
262 TE

The day of the said miracle Throsaere experienced was also the day he resigned. It was also conveniently the same day that he was appointed as the next Stefani of Guhenism by his old friend Andreas Zevedeos. After Kotudaar officially became Stefani and announced his presense to the believers, he would recieve a vision and hear the melodic beautiful whispers of Guhen into his ears. He was blessed by the Lady and was healed from his terrible sickness. This was Kotudaar's testimony which led him to immedietally resign from his political position and began focusing entirely on Guhenism.
