Mega Zro

Mega Zro is a nightling mage and the leader of the Province of Avalisia in The Magisterium. Mega is also a speaker of Nyx, meaning he is one of the religion's guiding figures. The south of Sparwood, namely Avaria and it's descendants have been heavily influenced by him ever since he was put in a position of power.

Early Life
Mega was born in a tribe of nomadic enchanters somewhere in Sparwood, but the exact location remains unknown. The nomads are descendants of ancient Nocticists so he was told many stories about them growing up. Because of this his interest in the lost culture was peaked so he decided to split off from the tribe to try and learn more about them at the age of 20.

Avaria
He wandered around sparwood, eventually finding his was to the city of Askalon which he decided to make his base of operations. He discovered a nocticist tomb containing the recipe for the "Elixir of Life" in the nearby forest. After returning to the city, he made the brew and drank it. During the next few days his body began to change into one of a nightling. He was now immortal. With this gift Nyx bestowed upon him, he decided to revive the lost religion of nocticism. The next day he began the construction of the Askalon undercity, a massive underground complex which would serve as another city right below Askalon which would be home to any and all nightlings. Around this time he was shot in the right eye with a magic crossbow bolt, leaving him with a nasty scar for some 2 years.

Some time after that the grand duke of Askalon left the nation, so everybody below him moved up in rank. Mega's friend and lord of Askalon now became the grand duke and the mayor Mega became the new Lord. This finally gave him some influence in the Avarian feudal government. He advocated for many reforms to improve every aspect of the nation, from military equipment to building standards. He established the ministries of Avaria, effectively giving himself a position in the government right next to the king himself. During this time Avaria had bought the land of Opolisia from the UBSR and was planning to revive it. After many disagreements with the armchair leaders of the nation which lead to tensions rising between his home of Askalon and the rest of Avaria. A civil war was almost started multiple times, but it was luckily avoided with the entire east Avaria buying their independence and becoming the Free State of Avalisia, an oligarchy with Mega, Blandie Petrovsky, Filip Vallen and Blueford Pen at the top.

Free State of Avalisia
In the nation's founding days Mega was busy dealing with threats of war from tortugan bandits as well as planning of a new capital for the nation. He held true to his morals, trying countless times to solve the dispute peacefully, even after almost being killed in the middle of negotiations. The situation had reached the point of no return, but there was still a way out. Mega and Blandie decided that they will do what's best for their citizens, rather than risk losing the entire nation to bandits. They requested to join The Magisterium and they were welcomed with open arms. They had surrendered their sovereignty for security, it was a decision the other two members of the council weren't happy with. They had asked to leave the nation and form an independent state in the city of Averti. Mega wasn't opposed to their request and had granted them the permission to leave for free. They had formed the Free State of Avertico.

The Magisterium
When Avalisia joined The Magisterium Mega became the Magister of Avalisia. At this point many of his friends were gone and he had nobody to give the duties of running the Avalisian cities. He turned to his new allies in hopes of finding suitable leaders for his province. A deal was struck between the province of Avalisia and the Bank of Malmuria in which the bank would help govern the province and in turn have the ability to use its land in any way needed. Now that the bandit threat was gone Mega could finally focus of building the Avalisian capital - a grand and luxurious fort similar to the likes of Certaria. It would be called Krossroads because it was in the middle of Askalon, Posopolis, Averti and Vaussuiean. During the construction he had learned that the other two leaders of the Avalisian council had merged their independent city state with the squatter land of the same bandits that sought to annex Avalisia. In his eyes this was a great betrayal which would severely lower their relations.
