PRE-GAME LORE
PeanutBoota152, A.K.A. "Peanut" / "Ambrosio Illustre de Selesti-Centari" (formerly Mylenzum) was part of a once powerful race of Celestials as a Guardian and Messenger. Unaware of his lineage, they grew up as a beggar on the streets of Tlahatl. Although impoverished, he was a building prodigy and soon found themself in Aequalis.

AEQUALLIS (Rathnir)
In his search for a home, Ambrose travelled to the capital of the Huitca Federation, Tlahatl. There he wandered around for someone to allow him a place to stay with no avail. While standing in the rain, running out of food, an ally to the city ran into him, her name was LilyPrism. Having been reminded of her years as a wanderer as well, she soon led him to the unfinished city of Aequalis, The Land of Equality.

Using his excellence in architecture, he began to build up the city in secret while stealing food to survive. Eventually, he was caught stealing food from a local bakery and was chased onto the roofs of the city. After being cornered, he slipped and plumetted to the ground in front of Necro Mercellus Centari. Out of mercy, he carried the dying Mylenzum and infuses him with the soul of his demon brother, Vita. Because of this, he becomes an immortal being. Half-demon, half-human.

THE IMMORTAL HOUSE OF CENTARI
Years after arriving to Aequalis, he soon became a skilled engineer, competent historian, and promising leader to his fellow engineers and the newcomers that came after him. At the sight of this, he gained the favor of the last living members of the ruling House of Centari, the twins Lily and Necro Mercellus Centari. He was then appointed as an Administrator of the Aequalis on July 11, 2021, and finally meeting another immortal being other than his brother and himself, Necro Mercellus Centari adopted him as his son and apprentice, teaching him the ways of Immortality and how to maintain his current life cycle. His name was soon changed into Mylenzum Illustre de Selesti-Centari, First Child of the Immortal House of Centari.

NEW FERNHEIM
On one of his scouting missions around Ocotlan on July 2, 2021, he decided to visit the capital city of Tlahatl. On is way there, he came across a fork in the road, the right way a dirt path and the left was a pristine cobblestone path. Thinking that the most pristine road was the way to the capital, he took the left path and immediately noticed that he had gone the wrong way. He walked the winding road and stumbbled across a city that he thought was occupied, as he got closer however, he realized that the city had been largely destroyed, its walls full of cracks and holes, leaves scattered in its towers and its homes left in ashes. He scouted the area for any sign of life and found nothing but an old outpost. Overcome with curiousity, he placed a sign on the gates of the city, marking the date he arrived, took the nearby pigs and chickens and left rode his skeleton horse, Memento, back to Aequalis.

Days after his induction into the House of Centari more than a week later, Mylenzum asked his now aunt, Lily Prism Centari, about the ruins. She looked at her brother and Mylenzum's father, Necro, and they gave him a book about the Escharien Empire. They led him to a chapter in the book entitled "The Colony of Fernheim", it spoke of a member of the empire's government getting lost at sea and founding a colony in the eastern side of Ocotlan called Ferheim. Although the book had much information about it, it did not state why the colony itself fell, as it was seperate from the fall of the empire. As he posed this question, Lily simply stated that she would help him find out. He was shocked to have discovered such an ancient ruin, and later Lily and Necro gave Mylenzum his first assignment as a governor, to claim the ruins and revitalize the city in the name of the Huitcan government.

As instructed, he claimed the area of Ferheim and renamed it "New Fernheim: A City Born from Ashes". Not so long after, his aunt put him in touch with a former resident of the city simply known as Herod. He stated that since its ruler, Fredreich, died (became inactive), no one was there to care and rule for the city. Due to the lack of leadership, many of its citizens moved away and the city's claims could no longer be upheld. Thus, they were revoked and the city fell pray to griefers and looters, decaying till the present day. Mylenzum soon earned the title of "First Governer of New Ferheim"

THE WAR OF THE SOUTHERN AGGRESSION
On July 27, 2021, and due to growing unrest between the nations of Bardonia and Viodoxia, Mylenzum and his family were thrust into the hands of war. Regardless, most of the family decided to aid in Huitca's efforts to support its ally, Bardonia. In the midst of these preparations, his aunt Lily was much more noticably distressed. Worried for his aunt, Mylenzum asked her what was wrong. She stated, after much hesitation, that she was greatly threatened by the pirates of Tortuga because of a recent raid she did on their settlements. This caused the city of Aequalis to be swarmed with bandits for around 2-4 days. As she wept, he said to his beloved aunt:

"I don't know the extent of the pain you're going through, but you have given me a home, a job, new friends, and most importantly, a family. If any of this goes south, if Aequalis or Huitca fall, I will stick by your side no matter what. I promise I will help and protect you the best I can, and especially when I'm ready to. I promise." With both pairs of eyes watering, they embarced and prepared for the war.

A few hours later, a giant aura of relief washed over the city as the kingdoms of Huitca and Escharia (Niedia) withdrew from the war as they believed that it was the only way to maintain peace in the nation. Mylenzum moved to New Fernheim to focus on his work and relax after the war's stressful toll on him.

THE BANISHMENT OF LILY PRISM CENTARI
A day after his departure on July 28, 2021, Mylenzum received news of his aunt Lily being banished from Huitca under the accusation of committing banditry. Out of shock, he rushed to see his beloved aunt before she would leave, but it was too late. He arrived at the city gates of Aequalis to find his father waiting for him with tears in his eyes and anger on his face. Necro looked at his son with the look of utter despair and Mylenzum knew why. He rushed into the gates looking everywhere for the woman who gave him all he ever needed to no avail.

He entered the Purple Palace, his home, and stood before the portrait his younger brother, Mett, had made of their family. He spoke with tears choking his every word: "Why didn't you tell me you were leaving, auntie? Why didn't you visit me at least? I could've helped, I promised... I failed you... I'm so sorry Lily...". He soon brust into a fit of rage and sorrow. His wails of sadness were said to be heard by half of the city for having lost someone he held so dearly again. His distressed neighbors broke down his door to see him lying unconscious in front of the portrait with a piece of paper. Written, was a single phrase: "I will continue for you, auntie"

THE RETURN OF LILY
On the night of August 6, 2021, while laying the bricks on one of New Fernheim's wall towers, he saw a black figure, surrounded by a faint glow, rush into the walls of the city. Thinking it was an outsider, he rushed down the walls to attack the would-be intruder. Just before he drew his sword, a familiar voice echoed through the interior of the walls, a voice he hadn't heard since his last unfortunate visit to his hometown. The figure, shrouded in darkness, lifted his lantern to reveal his father’s face, Necro. As the feeling of relief settled into his body, his father asked to speak with him, saying it was an urgent and joyful matter. They exited the wall and sat on the basin of the old fountain of Old Fernheim. "Your aunt has returned", his father said. Before even processing the news, he rushed to the city in the dead of night, riding his undead horse to see if the news was indeed true. As he passed the gate where he last saw his aunt, he scoured the city for any sign of his beloved aunt, once again to no avail.

Running out of breath he decided to make his last stop at Quacker's Square. He sat once again at the basin of the fountain to regain his energy, the mist cooled him down and calmed his nerves. It was uncle Sycth's fountain, the last untouched remnant of the city he built before his father destroyed and rebuilt it. He looked around the houses, many were newly built by his younger brother, Mett. Mylenzum admired the square's trees, the ones and his aunt grew for him when he felt tired of the city and missed the meadows of the countryside he used to visit during his breaks. She always wanted him to be happy, but now those trees only brought him only sorrow. As he was about to leave, a hand tapped his right shoulder. Somehow, it too was familiar. "Hello, Peanut", the stranger said. Only his family called him that, Mylenzum thought to himself. He turned around to see his aunt, in an Escharian uniform and carrying a sack of her belongings with Amarylis sticking out. They tearfully embraced each other, after many days without seeing one another.

They sat down under the fountain, telling tales of a kind king, a luxurious castle, the loss of friends, and a giant wall. Under his uncle's fountain, in the square his brother made, nestled in a city his father planned, surrounded by trees his aunt had cared for. For the first time in weeks, he didn't care about Huitca, Aequalis, nor New Fernheim, his family was complete again, and that's all that ever mattered.

THE SIEGE OF AEQUALIS
On August 22, 2021, The Kingdom of Councils declared war of the city of Aequalis. In preparation for the war, Lily Centari ordered all engineers and builders to construct an outer and inner wall the reached the build limit. Mylenzum dropped all his activities in New Fernheim to contribute to the barrcading of the every citizen's houses and establishments, as well as the contruction of the wall. Due to his inability to fight, Mylenzum evacuated the city, but not before meeting with Lily and the former king of Huitca, Nyk'los (IGN: Infinick) to discuss their war strategy.

In their discussions, they had discovered that the KoC had lied to every nation around them in order to insight a war on a city full of peaceful builders. King Nyk'los, greatly insulted by this, later exposed the nation's lies to the rest of Rathnir. Lily Centari also started negotiations with Shirokaneza, a few hours before the war and convinced them to abandon KoC.

After the war, it was announced that KoC had won with only a single kill. But regardless of the loss, he was glad to hear that the city was largely undamaged.

ANDLIRIAN EMPIRE
During Aequalis' Age of Seclusion, Mylenzum soon left Huitca and travelled back to The Ashtrokan-Wandenreich Empire (formerly Wandenreich). When he arrived he was denied entry as his citizenship expired due to inactivity. He later wrote a letter to TheOtakuKaiser to renew his citizenship. As he waited for his citizenship to be renewed, he travelled around Eldham to see how much had changed. In his travels he stumbled upon a town known as Romantello, the capital of the Andlirian Empire. He was taken in by their citizens and he decided to stay in the town. He later built a mansion for himself where he could recover from the stress he had after the war. After his recovery and seeing the worst that war can bring onto the world, he later changed his name to Ambrosio or Ambrose, named after the fruit that grew at the back of his mansion.

Hiding
Years after his retreat to Eldham he noticed the Sun did not rise on that day. To his shock, the Sun and Moon would never be able to rise in these days, the Vampires of the Moon, who were situated in Eldham, have destroyed the two celestial bodies in an attempt to take over the world. Ambrose was glad no one else live in New Ferheim yet, as no plant could grow, no bee could buzz, no bird could sing. He was all alone in the new walls of Old Fernheim, stuck in his little construction shack, hiding from the blood-sucking demons that roam the eternal night. He decided to simply read the books in his little trunk. He wanted to finish "The Travels" by Athaz. After days in his secluded shack and reading the novels, he greatly longed to see the outside world once more. So in a sudden jolt of courage, he set off on a journey to meet the author, Athaz, in his home of Athazolant.

City of Light
On his way there, he did as Athaz did, he held a flower with him and some food, so no one would run from him or find it beneficial to kill him. Nothing much happened on his way through Southern Rathnir, just going through land and sea, seeing the sights and hearing the sound, occasionally meeting a fellow traveller or nearby native. He stumbled upon the city of Luxios, a city located Solisios. the city was sealed within a marvelous sandstone wall that shined like gold in the dessert sun. He had heard of this city before, it was recently sieged by his aunt, Lily. Knowing this information, he remained cautious as he approached the city walls of fear of being called an enemy to the city. While sneaking across the opened of its gate, a voice called out to him:

"HEY?!" said the voice.

Startled, Ambrose turned to see a bearded man, with a scarred left eye, wearing satin blue robes, who he assumed was the city's mayor. The man, although intimidating, asked him, "What are you doing here, friend?" the man kindly asked. Ambrose told him of his goal to reach Athazolant, and said that he didn't mind to take a look around the shining metropolis. He did not know if he was being naive, but the bearded man, who went by the name Beast (IGN: Beast_Killertje), allowed him to look around on his own. As he wandered the busy streets of the city, he came across a of both architecture and knowledge, The University of Luxios. Its stature and the bright blue dome that crowned it's head, made it stand out amongst even the city's temple. As he entered, the walls were filled with books and poems from around the globe and the library's floor was decroated with grandiose mosaics. As he looked around, he found a map that told him that he had to got more eastward to reach his destination. Before saying goodbye to his new friend and leaving through the eastern gate of the city, he replaced the center bit of the University's floor with a diamond block as a sign of friendship.

Red City Road
After days of travel, he later reached his destination, Athazolant, The Red City. A fitting name for a city that had every building the same shade of crimson, that contrasted from the blackstone that lined the roads and building. He later saw a bookstore that said "The Travels new release!!!". Out of excitment, he entered the store and grabbed the first copy of Volume 5 of the book. As he was about to leave, he was tapped on the shoulder by a woman, named Aldara (IGN: Ewatomi). "You like books?" she asked. After a long conversation about each others travels, Aldara stated that she was the author of "The Princess, Volume 1", and was the high priestess of Asitir. As they went their separate ways, Aldara handed a copy of the First Edition of her book. It was not as shiny and good-looking as the newer editions he has seen, but to have one of the first copies of her book was quite valuable. He did not meet Athaz that day but he met a friend. In addition to the two books he had, Carpicious, a close friend of Athaz and one of the people mentioned in his books, gave Ambrose a copy of Athaz's religious text free of charge! He later travelled southeast to find an ocean and rode a boat to continue his travels.

Tortugan Taters
After hours at sea, he later reached an island cove that was populated with houses that were embedded into the side of the mountains that enclosed it. As he climbed onto the dock, he saw the tip of his nose face the pointed blade of a netherite sword. "Halt, state your business here?" the woman inquired, clad in full netherite armor. Out of fear, Ambrose fell off the dock and let go of the flower he was to present to the warrior. All he remembered was darkness, then he woke up in a cozy bed. Thinking it was a dream, he got up to observe his surroundings and noticed that the room was new to him. To try and not disturb the residents of the house, he snuck downstairs to try and escape.

"Oh, you're finally awake" said the same voice. He turned around to see the same woman, but in a black and red dress and a crown on her head. I think she sensed that I was looking at the crown for too long as she stated "Oh that? Yeah, My name is Elzaress (IGN: 4375), the pirate princess of Tortuga, well one of them". Ambrose quickly bowed his head, but the sudden movement made him dizzy. "Don't do that, you hit your head on a turtle shell. Don't worry the turtle is fine" the princess chuckled. "I saw your books, you making a library or something?" she asked. He looked at his books hanging near the fireplace to dry, and stated the reason for his travels. "Oh Athaz yeah, I figured 'cause of the flower you had"said Elza. He looked around to see his dandelion, neatly planted in a pot atop the mantle. After a long conversation about his travels, she led Ambrose to an empty house to recuperate. After a day or two he said his farewells and set off into his journey home. Elza had handed him a hand full of spicy baked potatoes and a book called "Tortugan Taters". Let's just say he did not return hungry or with any food left.

Crimson Spikes
As he returned home to visit Aequalis, he saw his father, Necro, speaking to Quiazimoc (IGN: RedFireRex), and his far removed cousin Terminus Emendari (IGN: Endmxn) about a rare material they wished to use for the armor and Weapons of the Crimson Dawn. Crimson Ice was only found in a Crimson Ice Forest found next to the the city of Voskovy. They travelled several thousand blocks, seeing all the ruins, all the cities and temples and even came arcoss an abandoned railway lit by jack o lanterns. They soon reached their destination. As his father mined the mystical, bloodshot ice, Ambrose decided to build a small snowman as the place was void of life. "Maybe this can make this place less lonely" he mumbled. He dug up some snow and fashioned two blocks and with the jack o lantern he took from the railway and used to light his way, completed the snowman. As he walked away, a snowball hit his head. He turned around to see that the snowman had moved. He quickly told his father and showed him the snowman. His father was astonished by the life he made from nothing and told Ambrose to keep practicing. Before they left, Ambrose gave life to another snowman. "A friend so you're not alone" he said to the golems. He waved them goodbye and travelled back to New Fernheim.

THE CURSE OF COURAGE
On their way back, Ambrose felt faint and weak. He collapsed on the ground much to the shock of his father. "Quick find an animal, anything!!!" he said in a slight panic. End came back with a chicken and Necro handed Ambrose his sword. "Kill it" he commanded as Ambrose refused. Ambrose promised to never hurt a living soul and kept refusing. "Kill it or you will die" he said in anger. Ambrose reluctantly took the sword, closed his eyes, and plunged it into the chicken heart. As the life of the creature waned, he felt a bit stronger. "How did you know?" Ambrose asked in confusion. "You're cursed, son". You have the curse of Vita. Vita is a demon that embodies courage and can be ruthless and reckless in it's pursuit to do so. To survive, you must take the souls of others to prolong your life.

The Lunar Ruins
Not having been satisfied by his adventures and having enjoyed the company of others, Ambrose Centari ventured to the North. The North unlike the South, he discovered, was not as lively and jovial as he had expected. He saw magnificent cities, but saw no friend or companion to greet or accomodate him. A majority of his travels were full of abandoned towns, torn down monuments, shattered temples. Though it was a saddening sight, he often thought of what each ruin was, what stories the decrepit walls could say.

He later stumbled upon the most fantastical ruin he had ever seen. Located southwest of Auron's Peak, lie a ruined temple-like structure of stonebrick. He approached the ruin with such astonishment, in the middle of the ruin stood winding tree that did not look anything like the others around it. Surrounding the tree, were a clutter of signs and grafitti from previous visitors, and behind it was a massive statue in the shape of the crescent moon. He assumed tha the temple was for Lunarya or some other lunar deity, but before he could approach the structure, he heard a rustle in the bushes.

Ambrose's First Love
Ambrose slowly approached what he thought was a bandit or wild animal in the bush, but to his suprise, he saw a young man like himself, dressed in black and red robes. He seemed to be looking for something. Ambrose tapped the man's shoulder to call his attention. "AHHH?!" the man said as he fell aback in surprise. The stranger pointed a sword towards him and asked: "Why are you here? No one has been in here in years?!" while trying to gain his composure. Ambrose, once again, explained that he was merely exploring because of his curiosity. "What are you looking for?" Ambrose asked in curiousity. "An ingredient, for something I need," he answered. Later, they scowered the temple together for any clues once Ambrose offered to help, to no avail.

Out of breath, the pair sat infront of the moon statue and began to converse with each other. Minutes turned to hours, and the two started to get along swimingly. "I gotta go, I still have to make a new batch of drinks for my bar," the man said. "Wait, before you leave, what's your name?" Ambrose asked.

"My name is Magma (IGN: Magma672)"

Before leaving, Magma gave Ambrose a jar of melon jam as a thanks for helping him. Ambrose then gave him the sunflower he was bringing as a sign of peace.

It was clear to all but themselves, that they had fallen in love...

Months went by and their love for one another grew stronger. Magma showed Ambrose his bar in Markaialon, that resided within the High Kingdom of Arcovel (now Aestyria), and introduced him to his friends, one in particular would later become one of Ambrose's closest friends, Undye, the mayor of the city. Ambrose showed Magma his hometown of Aequallis, told him about his life and family, and eventually let him meet his father, Necro, who at the time approved of the relationship.

Magma soon bid farewell to Ambrose as he had a personal mission to fulfill. Ambrose stayed in New Fernheim to wait for his beloved's return, until a miracle occurred.

THE TRADEGY OF MIRA CENTARI
'TRIGGER WARNING: Themes of infidelity and infant death are explored in this chapter, if you do not feel comfortable with these topics, SKIP THIS CHAPTER IMMEDIATELY. If not, you may continue, enjoy your read!'

Months after Magma's departure, Ambrose was in his kitchen cooking his breakfast. Suddenly, the thought of him in a field with Magma and a child appeared in his mind. The thought brought so much joy and love in his heart that an orb of orange flames arose from his heart. The flames soon grew bigger and flew into his hands. It later extinguished itself to reveal a baby girl. The girl, instead of cry, laughed the sweetest laugh. She had brown eyes, a mix of his green eyes and Magma's crimson, and smelt of melon jam and sunflowers.

"Hello Mira, my little sunshine," he said tenderly, while craddling his daughter.

Days later, he spread the news of his daugther's birth to his family, who were overjoyed to have a new member. Especially his aunt, Lily, who bonded with the infant more as she had retired from her positions as Hoxi of Ocotlan and Meiras of Aequallis.

Weeks after, the child started getting sick. The family acquired the finest doctors from across the land to see what was wrong, but they arrived at the same conclusion. "She seems perfectly healthy, what's happening to her seems impossible?!" they all said, baffled by the anomaly. Hopeless, Ambrose fell asleep next to his ailing daughter out of exhaustion. In his slumber, a familiar voice whispered: "He is an infidel." He later saw a vision of his lover in a mountainous island cove with houses across its wall, holding the hand of a woman in a red and black dress.

He awoke to see his child motionless and breathless. Out of desperation, Ambrose craddled the lifeless child in his arms, swaying her body side to side, and singing the lullaby he had made for her. But her smile had faded, her eyes stayed closed, and the scent of sweet melons and sunflowers were no more. After the realization, he embraced Mira's body and wailed in sorrow. The wail was even louder and more painful than when his aunt was banished. So much so, that all of Centaris heard the cry and suddenly the sun turned red and it started raining blood. Lily Centari and Clover (IGN: clovertheleaf) rushed to see what had happened. Once they entered the home, they saw Ambrose, bathed in the ominous crimson glow of the Red Sun, holding his lifeless child in his arms, staring blankly outside the window with the early morning newsletters on his lap. Lily picked up the paper and was filled with rage. The headliner was:

"MAGMA, BETROTHED OF PRINCESS ELZARESS OF TORTUGA, CAUSES RED SUN AND RAIN FROM THE BLOOD GOD!!!"

Magma and Ambrose's love that sustained their daugther's life no longer existed and so did she... she was a two and a half months old.

ISOLATION
Months passed, and New Fernheim began to cease development, letters from the Centaris government and from the Centari family began to pile up at Ambrose's door. He had not left his home since his daughter's death. Though many of his friends and family grew concerned and pushed him to leave, his sadness could not allow him to do so as he tended to the small sapling that grew behind his daughter's grave. He spent months caring for it and leaving sunflowers and melon jams as an offering for Mira.

VOYAGE TO ELDHAM
2 months later, he was able to gather a bit of his strength as he watched the massive pile of letters behind his front door. After sorting and reading letters from his friends and family, he saw a relatively new envelope, belonging to a JuanSalakot from Eldham. Judging from the the red wax seal and golden lining of the royal blue envelope, he belonged to a wealthy and well-known family, something Juan neglected to mention in his previous visits to Eldham.

As a show of support and heeding his family's concerns for his well-being, he packed up some clothes and essentials to visit his old friends. Before leaving, he left a note on his door and notified his father that he would be out of reach for a while to reflect his life without Mira and Magma. He left melon jams and sunflowers under Mira's tree and set a course for Eldham.

WEDDING IN PHOENIX
He later docked and visited his apartment in the A.W.E city of Silbern to rest. He lay on his bed regretting his decision as he had been nervous about showing himself to his friends given his disheveled appearance. After a much deserved rest and wandering Silbern, he set off to find Phoenix. On his way there he met a fellow traveller, he asked for directions to Phoenix and the stranger, a young man with a fair complexion, with a pair black cat ears and a tail, responded:

"Oh! you're going to the wedding too! Well, you can follow me instead, I have a relative who lives there so I know the way like the back of my hand!"

The stranger, nicknamed Flare (IGN: captainflaresoul), travelled with him to the walled city of Phoenix. A quaint little town with picturesque architecture and foliage, it seemed that any building out of the ordinary would belong to someone mad, rich, important, or any combination of the three, so you can imagine how easy it was to find the church. Flare later showed Ambrose to the local inn to get ready and after some time of preparation, he went to the chapel.

During the reception, Ambrose found Flare in a dashing suit that could only denote a noble status. After greeting him asked how he knew Juan and Bottom: "Oh, I'm thei-" Flare was interrupted by a booming, yet excited pair of voices. "AMBROSE CENTARI!!!" the two voices said in unison. Ambrose and Flare turned to the direction of the voices to see Juan and Bottom in a suit and wedding dress, respectively, walking towards them waving from a far.

"How long has it been old friend? I thought you would never leave," Juan said with jovial disposition.

Hitting his husband's shoulder, "What Juan is saying is that we're glad you came, old friend" Botom said happily with some concern.

"And I see you met our son, Flare!"

Ambrose was taken aback by the statement, but tried to compose himself.

"Surprise!" Flare said with slight embarassment. "I didn't know you had a son?!" Ambrose asked. Flare explained that most of his family joined through adoption and he was no exception, which explained why he was a neko while his parents were not.

After a jovial conversation, the festivities began. Many laughed and danced the night away, but Ambrose sat with the rest of the newlyweds' close friends, quite silent, quite unlike his usual spontaneous and carefree self. After the speeches and the couple's wedding dance, others were invited to dance floor as well. After a short while, he was the only one left in the table. Flare later sat next to him and sarted a conversation with him.

"Fondly enough, as desirable as I may be, I've never danced a a day in my life" Flare stated with a longing at the sight of couples dancing.

"I could teach you some time, I guess. Considering the centuries I'e been alive, a simple waltz is child's play" Ambrose said jokingly.

"Then show me, old man" Flare said teasingly.

Without a second thought, and thoroughly insulted, Ambrose grinned and held out his hand. "Fine, newbie"

Holding Flare closely, they began to dance to the musicians playing. Flare constantly stepped on Ambrose's feet before getting itno the rythm of things. Flare smiled at him with visible enjoyment and embarassment. "Cute," Ambrose thought to himself. After the dance, they strolled outside under the moonlight and cool evening breeze, talking about their lives, every tragedy and good memory they had.

Flare put his hand on Ambrose's and said "I didn't think what happened would be so bad, I'm sorry you had to relive it again" Flare said.

"You didn't do anything wrong, I enjoyed tonight. Besides, seeing to stumble around was hilarious, I haven't laughed like that in months," Ambrose laughed.

"Fuck off?!" Flare said, embarassed. "I'm kidding, you did good for a beginner," Ambrose said in reassurance.

Ambrose soon led Flare back to his home, and after saying their goodbyes, Ambrose returned to the inn. Before turning a cornern, he heard Flare yell his name, he approached him and asked what was wrong. Flare quickly tiptoed and planted a kiss on Ambrose's cheek and said it was for being his first dance partner. He ran back blushing like a freshly plucked tomato, never turning back. Ambrose stood still in shock, little did Flare know he was blushing too.

YEARS WITH FLARE
For the duration of Ambrose's visit in Eldham, he spent mostly with Flare, exploring the land and getting to know one another. When Ambrose returned to New Fernheim, Flare would often send letters to him and soon visit the immortal to confide and care for one another. Soon, they fell in love, spending most of their time with each other, sharing wonderful memories and helping each other through difficult ones.

On November 12, 2021, under the tree where Mira was buried, Ambrose and Flare began their engagement. It was then rumored that the tree bloomed for the first time.

ANCESTRAL LANDS
In preparation for the wedding, Flare invited Ambrose to his home of Varn Torum, a kingdom located in northwest Eldham. Considering his home of Centaris was basically incomplete, Ambrose voyaged with his fiance from New Fernheim to Varn Torum's captial of Khan Drakhar. As they entered the gates, they were greeted by the steady streams of merchants that littered the streets, colorful shop windows that sold various commodities, and the sweet aroma of the different perfumes and flora for sale. Like a child in a candy store, Ambrose, who loved architecture, wandered around to observe every nook and cranny of the marketplace. Flare pulled him aside, and told him that the marketplace was not the best part yet. They soon passed the interior gate at the other end of the marketplace, and entered the farming and residential areas of the city.

The city was filled with quaint, yet properly decorated houses. The city had a second market, infested with crimson vines, a massive farm along the riverbacks, and a hobbit hole that was the oldest buildings in the city. Flare led his fiance to the center of the city.

"...and this is the main attraction, the mountain stronghold!", Flare said in excitement.

He pointed at a giant stone arch that was embedded into the side of a gargatuan mountain, engraved with various intricate patterns that compensated of the monotonous grays of the structure. Embedded within it was what lit the structure up, several flowing falls of Giant's Blood that looked and glowed similar to lava. The vast staircase was flanked by parrot statues that commemorated the death of the oldest parrot of the city.

They entered the stronghold and Ambrose beheld many wonders, from underground farms, rows upon rows of apartments, historical landmarks, a dragon skeleton, a grand hall that too long to walk through, and many more. That was when he found a book left behind on top of a construction chest labeled: "The Comprehensive History of Varn Torum". As Flare spoke to a local official, he read the history of the nation's founding and noticed something that shocked him. His future husband, whose real name was Infernus "Flare" Torum, was the nation's founder. Before he could process the information, Flare excitedly pulled Ambrose into a room with a giant door.

"I know you were stressed out looking for a place we could get married in, so...", Flare presented to him the stronghold's cathedral.

It was smaller than the grand hall, but know one could deny the intricacy and detail put into the structure. Much like the arch, it flowed with Giant's Blood, and the floors were incrested with Crystalized Dwarven Blood. Though he was slightly disturbed by the copious amount of blood, he did not mind as he had seen worse. Flare and Ambrose soon decided to hold their wedding ceremony there, and be decorated to incorporate Ambrose's joyous nature, with his fiance's dwarven heritage.

Soon, two families will unite by the hands of a nobleman and that of royalty.

COUP AGAINST THE THRONE
While in Eldham, word from his hometown spoke of his aunt who, at the time, was retired, overthrow Tlatoani Quauhtili Atl'Tizoc (IGN: SumoMC), second emperor of Huitca, and became the new Tlatoani. Lily had decreed that the nobility would now have the say on who the new heir to the throne would be, this included the Centari Household. Right after, Necro, the demon who had taken full control over his father's body after his death, allegedly assassinated him, ending the absolute rule of the Atl'Tizocs for the time being.

Lily's Death
A few years after her ascension to the throne, his Aunt Lily had fallen ill to a plague that ravaged the nation. He was immune to it due to his Celestial lineage and demonic possession, but was worried much for his aunt and her wife, Empress Kelz of Frosmyre. He tried to visit his aunt, but they were quarantined to ensure no one else in the palace would be infected.

Before he could say anything, a doctor, clad in protective medical garbs whispered to the guard that shocked him...

...Lord Ambrose Centari, Lily Prism Centari, Third Tlatoani of the Huitca Federation, has passed on.

(OOC: Hey guys don't worry, Lily is fine IRL, she had simply retired from Stoneworks completely. She was an amazing player and one of the greatest friends I could ever ask for. If you're reading this Lily, I hope to see you again IRL!!!)

THE GREAT BLASPHEMY & THE FIRST SHROUDING
After the shocking turn of events, Ambrose visited his home of Centaris, still in a state of stagnation after his father's death. He later visited surrounding territories where he had gained citizenship to see how things were going. In one of his visits, he went to see an old friend of his, Beast, in Luxios to once again see if he had more books to purchase for his growing collection. As he passed the Temple of Lux, a great pain enveloped his limbs and seemed to crawl a around him. He took off his gloves to see the black markings of his fingers envelop his hands. He tried to scrub it off and it only got worse, he felt the pain crawl up his chest and neck. He felt it burn him from the inside, and as he looked upon blinding shine of the golden pillars of the temple, he heard a faint laugh followed by a bling light and sudden darkness....

He awoke to a loud banging on his front door, he was home and didn't know how he got there. He limped out of bed to see Beast and an entourage of guards at his door:

"WHERE ARE THEY?!" he shouted.

Not knowing what was going on, he asked what he was talking about.

"THE GOLD" he screamed. "Our citizens reported you desecrating the Temple of Lux and robbing it of its gold!!!"

Not knowing what to do he allowed the guards to search his home, and to his surprise, they had found almost 35 thousand units worth of gold.

Soon he remembered this father's teachings:

" "

Beast pulled him aside accusing him, but even if Ambrose told him, he would not believe it. So he explained to him what had happened, his curse and the shrouding. After much delibetration, both had concluded to return the gold and for Ambrose to overgo self-imposed exile from Luxios, until further notice.

Out of shame for what he did, fear of him shrouding again, and the death of his aunt and father, he fled Rathnir to start anew with his fiance in Eldham.

WANDENREICH (Eldham)
Due to him phasing in and out of existence (server crashing) as he tried to adapt to his first physical form, he moved to a suppossedly remote Dark Oak Forest in the middle of Eldham. There he met the Grand Falcon of Wandenreich, TheOtakuKaiser, who allowed him to reside within it's borders. He currently resides in an apartment in Silbern, the capital of Wandenreich. After many years, he earned the title of Administrator and Governer in Huitca and soon left Wandenreich to prioritize his life and responsibilites in Rathnir

Bartender
Ambrose has a tendency to be INSATIABLY curious as he used to look at the world from a far wondering how mortals lived the lives they did. Now as a mortal being, wanting to learn as much as he could, he took in the work of a Merchant, then Builder, then Mage, which he realized he couldn't learn easily as he didn't even have a home at the time; before settling with Bartending, he set up his tavern in Aequalis, joined the Bartender's Guild of Rathnir and was employed at the Warmbank Saloon in Mineria, Volonte in Eldham. He was guided by it's founder as their apprentice. He also opened the Skylight Complex that serves as an inn, shop, tavern, and bee aviary. He has temporarily ceased operations once he moved to New Fernheim.

Engineer
He is also an avid builder, his first project in Rathnir was his tavern named The Purple Palace. He was accepted as an Engineer in Aequalis, helps in its planning and construction, and is a member of the Builder's Guild of Rathnir. After showing much promise, the Chief Engineer and Vice Mayor of Aequalis, Necro Centari, took him under his wing as both his apprentice and adoptive son. He is now the Chief Architect of New Fernheim and is responsible for its construction.

Historian
As an amatuer storyteller, he currently is in charge of updating and revising "The History of Aequalis, the Land of Equality", the city's offical wiki page. He was also designated the city's Head (and only) Historian. He soon gave his role to Freeman Hooves, who was the second Head Scholar of Aequalis. He still writes about historical events in his spare time.

FUN FACTS

 * Ambrose was turned into an owl spirt because The Superiors wanted him to gain some wisdom. (a bit on the nose though, honestly)
 * Necro Mercellus found out about Ambrose's Immortality during a meeting with Infinick, the Emperor of Huitca. While building one of the southeast towers of the city and forgetting about his mortality, Ambrose jumped of the tower and died in front of the Emperor and the Centari twins only to come back to get his things. This was the first time Necro met another immortal like himself since his brother, Vacheilli "Sycth" Centari.
 * Canonically, Ambrose had an extremely short fling with StoneyStoner before meeting Flare. Both really did not like each other too much, but stayed in good terms, often joking about the fling.
 * Ambrose was an apprentice of Athaz for a time, but still remained friends after the short agreement.
