Astapf

Astapf, or Civil, was a political figure, war criminal and much more living on the continent of eldham. He is most well known for his actions in the Second sand war as a general and his role during the phoenix crisis. Before his death, he lived in Varn Torum, Portavel, and Neumerkstadt.

Birth and early life
Astapf was born on an unknown date in the city of Winver. It is unknown who his parents are, as he grew up in a small impoverished house. Around the time he was a teen, the nation of wolfswood would have a crisis involving him.

Wolfswood became a duel monarchy with Mayleey as queen and NCR as king. He did not like this change and when NCR kicked him out he started an open rebellion against him. In less than seven hours, he was able to get Mayleey and other supporters, such as vivid, to march into Winver and take the city.

Eventually, the old rebel camp he used to stage the rebellion was turned into a city called unidade, now Antonia. The town at that point was in a rural far reach of wolfswood and thus he reached out to the government of phoenia to construct a brick road across the country to help trade between the countries.

"adventures in phoenia"
"Oh shit, well if im already gonna be put on trial, might as well give em a reason to"

-Astapf after attempted an anti zamots coup d'eat in Phoenia. Astapf considered phoenia to be the greatest point in his life and also the worst, as this started the spiral that ruined his reputation and "turned the man into someone who belongs in an asylum" Astapf almost instantly demanded that if the road was to be built for the price of nothing, he must be allowed a position in the government. Astapf became a senator within fifteen hours of becoming a citizen. There he continued to road that went from the planned city of rapture to Dolgoldor to ampolo and eventually south to what was portsouth and mikane city.

Eventually, astapf learned that the city of rapture was in need of a mayor and construction. He then became mayor with another person named firedragone, who remembered him from wolfswood. This helped bring a small bond with the two as they both were from the same country. The city of rapture would soon start construction.

Eventually the nation of phoenia was in crisis. Astapf did not know what to do and in the panic and with support with the awe, raised a small army to declare rapture a free nation. The nation lasted fourth four hours before being driven out. He then promoted bandits to set up camp in the nation as a stronghold leading to more future issues in the province. With his anti Zamots stance, he fled to the awe.

After fleeing. Reports of astapf doing warcrimes and also admitting to it proved against his reputation. He executed many of those in rapture who did not join him with many ways. The most common way was to put a respiration three helmet on and put them underwater to drown. These crimes were never taken against him in any court due to the fact rapture at the time was independent.

Ironton and the "failures" of the awe
This part of his life was the longest and most boring. Astapf fled with the citizens of rapture and moved to make a small village named ironton. For over thirty years (four irl months) nothing major happened. That was until a second republic of Phoenia, that made Astapf move live in the AWE and Phoenia

Durring this time Astapf also joined the pale, but was kicked out after attempted to overthrow the government of the pale.

Eventually, The Zamots union invaded phoenia and closed on the capital. Astapf, fought back before the fall of the city DolGoldur, knowing the Zamots Union would kick him out and put a large bounty on his head. This caused a group of Zamots citizens and a few in government to hunt down Astapf.

They attempted three times.

First was in DolGoldur and failed after Astapf fled the falling city after a brief skirmish. This is when he first started to contact merkonis.

Second was when Swenking made an attempt to kill him within his town of Ironton

the third was when they illegaly entered Merkonis. Worsening the tensions between the powers.

The Awe kicked out Astapf after the outbreak of the second sand war without valid reason. Causing tensions between Astapf and Awe.

The Second Sand War
With astapf living in Merkonis, the Pale and Zamots union demanded for him to be kicked out. The leader of Merkonis, xPotatoes, during an argument accidentally stated that he was a minister, the government of The pale questioned potatoes further on this. In his panic, he made astapf minister of border security for Merkonis, knowing he was banned from the two nations Merkonis bordered. He also convinced his friend vivid, originally a spy, to rebel against the pale.

The second sand war started shortly after and astapf fought in both the battles of Perria and Cromore. He lived through both and was one of the few who continued skirmishing with enemy forces even when most soldiers retreated.

With the fall of Oris, astapf surrendered to the AWE and Pale, knowing the punishment would be lighter. He then urged Vivid, a friend of his, to surrender his city and end the second sand war.

His son, astapf ll, was killed on the final boat the leave Oris. The boat sank and his son drowned. This devastated him as it meant his familyname was almost gone from history.

With the loss of his son and the city he lived in, he fled to Varn Torum, where a gnome king of phoenia lived.

Decay in mental state and death
Eventually, astapf returned to Merkonis, not the mainland but a part of land in the east that was still owned by Potatoes.

His grandson was born in neumerkstadt and grew up following his grandfathers steps. Though this did not help his mental state and eventually he broke, gathering a group of followers he marched into the city of Eisenreich and attempted to overthrow the government. This failed and instead of putting him on trial, Agent, Potatoes, and a few other spectators watched as he was killed under a statue. This ended astapf's life. A long and painful life witnessing all he had worked for gone.

His grandson overtook his position as minister des volks and continues to be a Merkonian citizen to this day.
