Zogaris

Zogaris
Zogaris was born in Southern Eldham, more specfically, New Domatia. He lived life as a nomad for much of his childhood and young adult life, learning to appreciate the environment. Not much is known about Zogaris's parents or relatives, but something that is known is that Zogaris is a member of the Mohadi. Zogaris has always been a passionate political figure who loves to lead and aid others. However, Zogaris has been known to do anything to get when he wants, when he is desperate. This flaw of his ended up leading to one of the darkest periods in his life.

Early Life
Zogaris was born in New Domatia. His parents abandoned him at a young age and he was left to survive on his own. He would wander through New Domatia, and learned to life off of the life that was there. He would primarily eat strawberries and bread. As a child, he would often chat with locals in his village about various topics. As a child, he held a particular passion for Geography and loved learning about the various nations that inhabited Eldham.

During his teens, he began mining frequently to make money, and during this time he lived a relatively stable nomadic life. He would mine for hours in deep caverns, and come home making a steady profit. With this money he bought maps, food, and even donated some money to other people like him. Eventually, he saved up enough money to board a boat to the Drakeas, to start a new life.

Arrival to Puerto
As he arrived to the Drakeas, he looked around for guidance, and began conversing with a man, this man being Salazar Van Den Green. Zogaris asked if he knew any directions to any city, and Green began leading Zogaris toward Puerto Amarillo. It is here were Zogaris would live for much of his life in Amarillo.

As a young adult, Zogaris would seek guidance from Salazar Van Den Green. They both Co-founded Amarillian State Industries together, and eventually would have to shutdown the company due to a lack of infrastructure supporting the companies mission. It is also during this time that Zogaris encountered the Mohadi and became more active in politics. Zogaris would begin to embrace his roots in the Mohadi and become apart of their culture. Zogaris began to consider starting a town to grow and lead a community. This idea would later become Verdesburg. Before he did this, though, he wanted to become a Government Minister. He asked the President at the time, Knarr, if any ministerial postitions were open. The Minister of Infrastructure spot was, and a couple days later after applying, he was granted the postition. He began making speeches and popular legal proposals and quickly gathered a following amongst the Mohadi and other citizens of Amarillo.

Time leading Verdesburg
Verdesburg would start out as a small town, with only two buildings and a terrible looking City Hall. However, Zogaris had a hidden talent, recruiting. Zogaris was able to quickly recruit a few citizens who would help carve out land and build Verdesburg into a much larger town. Zogaris's main goals for the small town were to grow the population, urbanize, and remake the city hall. In a couple months time, all of these goals were either done or significant progress was made. Verdesburg grew to become the second most active town, only behind Puerto Amarillo.

It was also during this time that Zogaris met his wife, Zhilou. They began fostering a love with eachother and eventually moved in. They married on 3/09/2022, in Puerto Amarillo near a huge fountain. The marriage was attended by many Mohadi and friends of Zogaris. This is widely considered to be the pinnacle of Zogaris's career. He was even going to be let into High Government as High Minister of the Interior due to his popular ideas. However, Zogaris's main goal, ever since he was a child, was to found and lead a nation, and he was given that oppurtunity by Knarr.

Socialist Federal Republic of Novo Verdes and Betrayal
When Libertas was cut up into two states, Zogaris was given the southern portion. He created the "Socialist Federal Republic of Novo Verdes", and began the process of creating a capital and recruiting citizens. However, Amarillo believed that the lands of Novo Verdes rightfully belonged to them as a Vassal, and Zogaris was not happy with this. He wanted his nation to not be vassalized by Amarillo, and he did the unthinkable. He plotted to gather a army and fight for complete soveriegnity. This plot was later found out by the Amarillian Government, and his entire career was taken away from him, and he was exiled. This was one of the darkest points in Zogaris's life. He was lost, he felt tremoundous guilt, and had thought about to returning to a Nomadic lifestyle, leaving everyone he loved behind. However, he decided that he still wanted to achieve his life goal.

Second Republic of Novo Verdes
Zogaris brought some of his old friends and citizens to found a town with him in Amagoria. This, however, was much to the dismay of the Amagorian government due to the fact that this town was encroaching upon their territory. Zogaris declared the Socialist Republic of Novo Verdes as a sovereign state, and eventually a peace agreement was made with the Amagorian government that let Zogaris use the artificial islands that Amagoria was constructing as land for his nation.
