Nyava

Pre-Arrival
Nyava was a wise architect from a land not known, he had build many-a structures piercing the heavens above. Homes, farms, workplaces, and more were built by his own two hands, but eventually, he grew tired of this life; his homeland housed only 3 people, and he wanted to get away from this loneliness. He and his compatriot, GreatOpress, both decided they would leave their homeland in search of something more, something greater; though, their fellow member decided he would stay and look after their home. They were saddened by this, but they agreed it was likely for the best. Nyava and GreatOpress decided that they would set sail across the ocean in order to find new land, after all, they had never seen what was out there. With steely determination, they constructed a boat; the planning alone took days, let alone the building. After weeks worth of work however, they finally completed the boat, they said their goodbyes, and began to set sail. the first days of sailing were smooth and relaxing; he and GreatOpress played many board games they had brought on board, they also fished every once in a while to make sure they would have enough food. Eventually though, disaster struck; The calm blue seas became raging waves crashing against the boat, and the sky became dark and thunderous. *CRACK* *THOOM* fire. Nyava and GreatOpress panicked, their boat was set ablaze and they didn't know what to do, they scurried around the boat looking for something that would help them, but it would be for naught. While running around they both felt something, and the dread set in, the ship was flipping over.

Shipwrecked
"ugh." Nyava awoke to see sand, dirt, and a totaled ship. The ship being destroyed was unsurprising, but him being alive very much was. Quickly, he realized something, "GreatOpress!" he looked around in a panic to find his partner, but it was useless. It looked like GreatOpress had not made it through the harrowing journey, Nyava was left alone. He stood up as sand slowly drizzled off of his back, he processed what had happened as he slowly, and painfully, made a grave out of the broken ship parts for his lost compatriot. He walked around for a long time using only the fish they had caught as food.

Eldham
He eventually decided he would found a religion after hearing strange voices Saintism,, though would immediately fall into a pit of berries right after; a symbol of what was to come much later. He ran into many strangers on his travels, they greeted him and were very friendly, though he wasn't really in the chatting mood after the loss he had just experienced. through these chats however, He would learn that he was in a place called Eldham; more specifically, Onthukhan. After some more exploring, he came across someone; quickly, he realized who this was, "GreatOpress!" "Nyava? Nyava!" The two ran towards each other in shock; having not seen the others body, they both thought the other was dead. With their morale restored, they kept exploring. After some time, they came across the snowy mountains; though, they were not your average mountains. Incredible architecture and beautiful bridges sat atop these mountains; Nyava and GreatOpress were amazed, They both looked around for any signs of life, that's when they saw it; a large castle made of dark stones and beautifully carved rock, Nyava went closer wanting to get a better look, but then, he saw someone. This person was not like the people they had met before. The man was Iron-clad in sparkling armor, and wielded a powerful looking sword. The man, noticing them, began to slowly turn his head, and then began running at full force. Realizing what was about to happen, GreatOpress yelled "RUN!" Nyava, hearing this, snapped out of it and began sprinting away. they ran as fast as their legs could carry them, and eventually got away. As they kept exploring after that terrifying encounter, they told each other about what happened when they weren't together. "No way, you found a sword just sitting there? That's so unfair" "Yeah, that's right!"

Vespera
"hey! you two lost?" they turned at looked at the stranger who just yelled at them. "uhh, yeah?" "If you want you can become citizens of my nation! It's called the Diarchy of Vespera! and this town right here is the capital, Lutumshire!" They turned to look at each other and decided "yeah, we'll join Vesperia" "it's Vespera, not Vesperia" "oh, sorry" "don't worry about it! you two seem poor, want some armor? all citizens get free armor, tools, weaponry, and housing!" "Woah! nice! Thank you!" "don't mention it, you guys want a tour?" "Heck yeah!"

They would learn that the lady who introduced them to this town was named LocalTomboy, and she was one of two Diarchs in Vespera. They eventually met more people, Blue Arbiter, TheClarkyCat, SepetDe, Ember, etc... GreatOpress opened up a blacksmith with one of the pre-built houses in Lutumshire, while Nyava worked on building a café of his own. Before construction was finished though, he slept in the basement of GreatOpress' house.

Return to The Pale
Eventually, Nyava decided to return to the snowy lands of what he learned was The Pale. He met with the High King, JDD, and the Jarl of the place he saw, GiveCandy. He gained residence and a tour of the pale during his visit there, along with the title of mayor. JDD allowed Nyava to found a town in the pale, just north of their capital, Karth (Later renamed Pinegrove). PuzzledNova named his settlement Silva, and immediately built his home; a large log cabin for him to sleep and plan in. This mayorship would not last long however; Nyava eventually decided that he was not fit to create an entirely new town, and so, he abdicated as mayor. Nyava's citizenship to the pale mainly consists of him visiting sometimes. Although he still very much considered himself palean, The Pale as a whole eventually sailed away, leaving him behind.

Developments in Vespera
Nyava was able to finish construction on his café, The Catboy Café, and would soon start construction on his home; but there was one issue, where to build it? Nyava decided something, he would live directly under his café, along with all of his brewing supplies needed to keep making drinks. Nyava and GreatOpress were eventually offered a job by the queen herself, Localtomboy. They would destroy multiple islands off the coast to make room for a prison, and they would be paid 8k each. Having no money, they were ecstatic about this offer and agreed to do it right away. Right after their conversation they dashed home and made a chest-full of shovels and pickaxes, they were ready. after only a day of working, it was done; the islands had been completely obliterated by their own two hands. LocalTomboy, Impressed, gave each of them an extra 500 dollars. After this, there was a split; GreatOpress went on to do other things, while Nyava stayed in Vespera. Although he would miss GreatOpress, he kept going, Nyava would continue through his new life in Eldham. Soon after the departure of his friend, Clarky, the original King of Lutum and the local drunkard, would offer to adopt him; Nyava accepted the offer happily. Nyava had also unknowingly accepted the curse that haunts all of their family members, the McClarky Curse; a curse that slowly drives the person insane. Clarky was the first to have it, accepting the curse willingly in order to spare the citizens of its maddening effects. Through his hard work though, Nyava managed to make hundreds of thousands of dollars. Nyava did this with both his brew "Catboy Milk," and the portraits he would made of people. Eventually, Nyava was given an offer, one of Vespera's towns needed a new owner, so he stepped up to the challenge, promising it would not turn out like Silva did. Arborshire was the name of the town he was given, and after many constant days of work, he fixed it up; the town looked almost completely different once they were done with it. He would then go on to rename this town "Nyavashire" after himself. He would also be given the Position of Lord Architect, though this position would be short lived because of governmental changes.

Diregon


Vespera would go n to merge with Swardia, becoming Diregon in the process. Nyava would go on to be the Masonry guild leader/Imperial Architecht of the country after being stripped of his Lord Architect title, he would also become a Virmai--a sort of noble with governmental power-- after losing the election for Overseer of the country; sometimes called a Leyrif. Through this governmental title, Nyava had the pleasure of meeting a man named Antares, though, he seemed to be rather weary of something unknown to Nyava. Nyava would also later host the marriage of SepetDe and Sr.Presidente, merging the families of Eringard and Arbastor together; becoming House Lutum (sometimes called Erin-Arbastor). Nyava would also Adopt Ember, a fellow Catfolk into the family. This however was not Nyava's only child, he had adopted someone named Captain Franz into the family during his time as Lord Architect. During the wedding Clarky would convince Nyava that the time he fell into a berry pit was to punish him for founding Saintism, and so, Nyava converted to Berrism, now sporting a crown of berries on his head, along with becoming it's prophet. A 7 page document was written by Nyava detailing everything about the country he loved so much, though it seemed to leave him in a state of perpetual tiredness after the fact. After the family merge, Nyava and his father, Clarky, would run for emperor's of Diregon, though they would go on to lose; with Antares being the winner of the election. After this loss, Nyava would have another great loss; Captain Franz --one of his sons-- would go on to pass away due to unknown reasons almost immediately after. After this loss, Nyava would also find out that Ember --his other adopted son-- was originally related to him, being kidnapped by Laurry during his early childhood.

Aegeus Alastor
Everything written in this article about Nyava is true, though, there has been something left unsaid. Aegeus Alastor is a dark spirit from the great beyond, he is the true Archvessel of Saintism, and was the reason for it's creation. Aegeus was able to take control of Nyava's weak will during the first days of his travels, not letting go of his body. Aegeus Alastor lived through the body of Nyava, acting as if he were him; though, this possession made him appear vastly different. Aegeus Alastor managed to do many things using Nyava's body, but eventually, he came to a bloody end.

Konekileus Nyava
Konekileus Nyava was Nyava Arbastor brother, unknown to Nyava. Konekileus was a man of great riches, and an army of feral catfolk; but, he wanted more to life, so he was in search of his brother. One day, he heard rumors of a possible lead, so he gathered his things at once and began his search, but what he found was terrible; an awful & infamous spirit had taken control of Nyava, and wasn't going to let go, so he did what had to be done (as detailed in the following documents).

as the great Aegeus Alastor walks through the streets of Lutumshire, he notices something "huh, I wonder what that is?" as he gets closer he sees "is that tail of a... cat? Poking out of a bush? how odd, I don't recall any stray cats living in Lutumshire" he begins to get close to pick it up, but that's when it hits him "this is no cat..." suddenly, a catboy jumps out of the bush, looking extremely fierce "sh*t, it was a catb -- AAAAH" Aegeus is swiftly scratched in the face by the catboy, as he opens his eyes, he realizes, it wasn't just one. It looks like there's at least seven of them, and they all look very aggressive. "no, NO, NOOO!!! AAAAGGGGHHH!!!!" Aegeus is promptly jumped by the stray catboys as the walls of Lutumshire are filled by multiple screams, nyas, and then silence. Aegeus Alastor and all of his secrets, ambitions, hopes, and dreams died with him that day.

A couple hours after the murder of Aegeus Alastor, a man walks into town. His pointy & fluffy ears twitch as the rain begins to pour, but he keeps walking forward anyway. The man appeared to be extremely well kempt and of great wealth & power, in stark contrast to both the feral catboys that had attacked Aegeus, and the decrepit corpse that now lay in front of him. The man squatted on the cold, wet pavement and began examining the corpse, his tailcoat getting muddy in the process. The man searched Aegeus' body for anything useful, and boy did he find things, multiple recipes for brews, the claim of ownership for two towns, money, building plans, weaponry, and armor, but these weren't the most interesting things he found. He found a glimmering green jewel across the man's neck, and it seemed to almost glow an eerie green. it gave the odd cat-man a strange feeling, it almost felt like a sort of dread. He hesitated in picking it up at first, after all he had hear many rumors of the spirit known as Aegeus Alastor. He had heard that he was a speaker for the dead, a man you should not mess with; for he could not die. But, after looking at his corpse the cat-man decided "If all those rumors were true, I wouldn't be looking at his corpse at this very moment" after all, he had sent sent his assassins to kill the man. With his newfound confidence he picked up the necklace and held it in his hand, he chuckled for a moment before saying "was I actually afraid of picking of a shiny little necklace because of some absurd rumo -- AAAHHHH!!!" A bright green beam shoots down from the sky and passes through the cat-man, loud, ghostly whisperings are heard all around as the cat-man's bones appear to glow through his skin, then all of it stops as suddenly as it happened. The cat-man's body lays still on the cold floor as raindrops hit his soft, pointy ears; they twitch for just a moment before his eyes open wide. He gets up with a terrible headache and looks down at the body in front of him "(chuckles) what are the chances I get struck by lightning?" The man laughs again and begins to walk away "The great Konekileus Nyava fears nothing!"

The camera slowly goes downward and begins to flip upside down) Two monolithic towers facing each other rise out of a large circular pool of what appears to be blood, ghostly, green runes seem to be glowing in the dark red liquid. (camera get closer to the towers) a man seems to stand between the two stone pillars as the green runes seem to form on them. The man turns forward and declares "no one who messes with me will get away scot-free, for if my name isn't Aegeus Alastor, Archvessel of Saintism, Speaker of the dead!" one of the towers has the name Konekileus Nyava carved into messily, the other is illegible.

Konekileus would become possesed by Aegeus; although, not fully, he seemed to have a stronger will than Nyava did. Aegeus would plot and scheme things in the back of Konekileus' mind, causing him splitting headaches, Aegeus would also begin to whisper into the mind of Clarky Cat Arbastor, Nyava's adoptive father.

Konekileus awoke in the dingy basement of the catboy café just as he did every other day since he had arrived, with a splitting headache. He painfully got up and walked towards a mirror to clean himself up a little, but that was effectively useless. Konekileus tried to think for a moment about what he was doing yesterday, but that just cause the headache to worsen. The cat-man's memory seemed to be fuzzy recently, he couldn't seem to remember even simple things, he was a complete and utter mess ever since he began living in the city of Lutumshire. As his headache seemed to calm slightly, he heard someone upstairs. He was glad to be out of that basement, it seemed to smell almost of blood. he walked up the stairs leading to the main dining area of the café, but he started feeling dizzy, nauseated almost. He kept trying to climb but collapsed on the staircase on his way up... Konekileus jolted awake suddenly, he was... outside? and not just outside the café, he was outside of a blacksmith's house? as he looked around he noticed that the basement of the house was crudely labeled with a wooden sign "hospital" written in an odd dark red color. As he stood up and looked around more he saw words carved into the non-visible side of the stone basement entrance, they read, "DON'T GO IN DON'T GO IN DON'T GO IN DON'T GO IN" repeating over and over again. Hesitantly, he opened the basement doors and stepped downward, but he wished he had not. There was blood all over the walls and floor, metal chains laying on the ground, a ritualistic circle of glowing lights emanating from what appeared to be the top of the dark, stone walls. Fires glowing an eerie, vivid blue as they burned the ashes of the damned spilled in the corners of the room. Worst of all though was what was in the center of the room; a cell with an awful contraption at the top, it appeared to be able to bash a prisoners' head in over and over again. There was also a small modification made to it, the bottom of the crushing mechanism held a glimmering purple amethyst crystal, but that wasn't all; that crystal had strange runes & carvings on it, and it almost seemed to be whispering to Him... Konekileus' shivered, "who would do something so awful? why?" after speaking he took a deep breath and realized just how dreadful the room smelled, he gagged. As he did he fell onto the cold, stone floor and sat there for a moment, he realized just how hot the room was. Konekileus no longer wanted to be there, he crawled up those basement steps on all fours in a panic and began to lay in the grass. He looked up at the clouds for a moment, he could almost forget the horrors he had just seen simply by looking at those peaceful clouds, almost.

After all of these awful events, a great ritual would happen; Aegeus had been collecting small fragment's of Clarky's soul in order to free himself fully onto the mortal plane, he had been using the ritualistic "hospital" to do this. During Aegeus' last harvest of Clarky's soul, Nyava's niece --Faithiqs-- and adopted child --Ember-- stepped in to stop him. This encounter resulted in Faith, Ember, and Clarky all cornering him into his own machine, and crushing Aegeus Alastor back into the land of ghosts. Believing they were done, they all began to walk away, but the corpse began to rise; they all had their weapons at the ready. "ugh, where am I?" The remnents of Clarky's soul fragments --along with Konekileus' iron will-- had caused the ritual to bring back the one and only, Nyava.

Illness & Decay
Through his time in the land of Eldham, Nyava had managed to acquire something extremely sought after; a full set of tools and armor forged of netherite, all with the spell of mending cast upon them, along with a big shiny fork. This however, came at a price, Nyava now required copious amounts of mana to keep his equipment from shattering, and the most effective method known to him was smoking. Nyava became addicted to the mana, constantly keeping his smoking pipe with him, making sure to never lose it. The smoking only worsened the effects of the McClarky curse, slowly driving him insane.

Nyava would also be periodically hunted by Poriis, causing him to never take off his armor out of paranoia.

Nyava came very close to losing his town, Nyavashire, after a disagreement with the old mayor, Huyyvv. Huyyvv wanted the name changed back to Arborshire, but Nyava disagreed; eventually, it escalated into a war for Nyavashire's name. Both sides cheated when it came time for war, so it was seen as fair once more after Nyava had won the battle.

some time after both of these events, Nyava began feeling extremely ill, his constant smoking was killing his body. Nyava, wanting to keep going, searched everywhere for a cure, until he found one. the Yoakumaen were a species of immortals, and it just so happened that Antares --the Emperor of Diregon-- was one of them. Becoming one came with some risks, but Nyava didn't care about that, he wasn't going to die. Eventually, a meeting was arranged with emperor; a ritual was prepared. Nyava's blood was drawn, and another liquid was injected. After a quick moment of passing out, Nyava was no longer a mortal man, he had ascended to immortality; becoming Erikku Nyava Arbastor. becoming an Aevum Yoakumaen came with some changes; he now had a hunger for memories of mortals --or to read vigorously--, and effectively had hallucinogenic drugs for blood; Nyava thought that this hunger would not affect him, but he quickly realized he was wrong. Voices from other planes of existence, Da Berry, his past, Aegeus & Konekileus, and the McClarky curse were all "speaking" to him at once; filling his head with thoughts that weren't his. Nyava's ears were ringing, he had a splitting headache, his body felt weak, and he had an all consuming hunger for knowledge. He could feel himself losing grip on reality; and in turn, his body. Realizing this, Nyava reached for his pockets; he knew he had an enchanted book with him somewhere, and in a panic, he bit straight into it. Nyava kept eating, ripping out pages upon pages with his bare teeth, and eventually, he strangely began to feel more in control of himself. Nyava took out his pipe, blew out a puff of smoke, and composed himself. He was now incredibly aware that he was going to need a lot more books, lest someone be murdered over his hunger.

Trying to cope with all of his issues was a tough challenge, Nyava would do some strange things to try dull the pain even slightly. Nyava would grow out his hair in the name of Berrism; trying to dedicate himself more toward religion. Nyava would also barge into the borders of Anglunia looking for a husband, and would marry Eliyawin Yinower-Nuwan almost on the spot; believing them to be a femboy. He would also marry Koru Aki & Devaliant a few days later. a couple months later, he would find a man by the name of Elyon, Nyava asked Elyon to marry him multiple times over the course of multiple years, with Elyon always denying him. One day, Nyava met Anon rune, seeing as he was a femboy, Nyava immediately asked for him to marry him, and Anon agreed, having a similar belief of marriage to Nyava.

Nyava's face soon began to crack, the mix of ichor (becoming part of his blood after becoming a prophet) and Yoakumaen blood not only made Nyava's blood literally boil constantly; it also made his eyes and pupils glow a disturbing yellow and constantly dilate & undilate; this was not a very pleasent experience for Nyava. He began to wear sunglasses at all times to try and hide his eyes and face cracks.

Government Shenanigans
Diregon's elections were soon, and Nyava and his family wanted to properly influence their land, after many days of bickering, they eventually decided that they would all cast their vote on one member of their family; that person would be decided by a vote held in secrecy. After the vote was held, Nyava had been the one chosen to represent them. the day of election arrived, they all cast their votes, and.... Nyava lost. Besides getting into first place overnight, the government decided that Nyava had lost (everyone in House Lutum suspected them of rigging the elections, including Nyava). Over the coming year (irl month), House Lutum would both publicly and secretly slander the government, and anger soon built up quickly.

The next elections, House Lutum decided they would do the same thing, thinking of possibly doing something drastic if Nyava did not win; but, besides losing, the emperor granted Nyava a spot as a Leyfridd (council) representative of Visio (even though he was a Lutumite). House Lutum now had a clear look into the government, and it only made them angrier.

Nyava shared all of the government's secrets with House Lutum (Originally just with Clarky, Supreme head of House Lutum), and the plans made them all angrier and angrier. Sepet and Sr. Presidente wanted to declare full independence from Diregon, and even considered war; while Clarky and Nyava wanted to do things more diplomatically and peacefully. At this point, they called themselves (within themselves) the Lutumite Nationalists, eventually turning into "The Illutimites."

Diregon had recently caused a new mess, Farania. The government officials of Diregon wanted to infiltrate Farania and rig their elections, wanting to vote in someone who was on their side. They were doing this to eventually completely annex Farania, despite it being a vassal of one of their closest allies. This discussion angered Nyava greatly, and he told the rest of House Lutum of the situation; they were indifferent at first, until Nyava explained the ramifications of the situation. Lots of talk of independence, civil war, and blackmail were had, but nothing was acted upon. This was all until even more talk of Farania from the council came, and it set Nyava off; in his anger, Nyava shared the entire plan with Elyon, Prince of Farania.

After some discussion with the prince, they decided that they would to do Diregon as Diregon tried to do to Farania; Faranians were to join Diregon as citizens and vote Nyava into the position of Gragir (emperor). This plan would never come to be however, as Sepet --who had effectively become the laughingstock of the family-- decided to leak the plans to the emperor after being made fun of one too many times. A lot of false information also spread because of this, causing Antares, the emperor, to confront Nyava. Nyava would eventually come clean to Antares, not wanting to heavily upset the man he had known for so long.

Family Shenanigans
After his many marriages and adoptions, Nyava didn't think much about adopting Eliza Lovegrove (StrongholdMafia), and Zane into House Lutum, but boy was he wrong. Zane argued with Clarky jokingly at first, but it very quickly spiraled out of control. Clarky eventually started throwing things around, and eventually burning, the place where the family always met up (messing up then deleting the family discord). Nyava eventually made a new area for them to meet, but Clarky's actions were not without consequence; Nyava's descendants cheered him on to separate from House Lutum entirely, to create House Fynx (Nyava's original last name before adoption), but Nyava did not. Nyava simply declared the Fynx bloodline technically separate from the Arbastor's (like Eringard was technically separate even though they married in), but they would still be part of House Lutum. This also led to them creating a system for holding title of Supreme head, one in which Nyava was now befitting of the title (whoever had the most in their bloodline gets to be Supreme Head).

Government Shenanigans 2: Electric Boogaloo
After the Farania situation, everything was mostly calm; that is until Poriis --the man who hunted Nyava so often-- became emperor of Diregon by not properly following the rules of the election, and bypassing the needed census to vote. Nyava was furious, many arguments were held, but eventually, Nyava calmed down and accepted the wrongfully elected emperor. As elections for Leyfridd rolled around, Huyyvv --the previous king of Lutum-- came back after being missing for a long time, all to declare Sepet king of Lutum. Nyava talked to Clarky about how he didn't want Sepet to be king, and he found that Clarky was in the same boat. Nyava and Clarky would play along with Sepet until they won the Leyfridd elections, Clarky through Sepet's personal pick. Nyava's was a bit more complicated

Nyava had to fight all other candidates who wanted to run, but the only one was Presidente, his own brother. they went into Lutumshire's arena, and began to fight with Poriis there as a witness (Clarky was also there to just watch). Pres and Nyava removed all their armor and weapons, and fought each other with all their might, but phantoms swooped in and began attacking everyone; Poriis, Clarky, Pres, and Nyava all fled to the sewers, where the fight would resume. Poriis counted down; 3, 2, 1, go! Nyava immediately ran at Pres at full force, but was immediately punched in the face, causing Nyava to lose his sunglasses. Nyava was furious, and in a fit of rage, Nyava was able to beat out Presidente in the sewers, being declared Leyfridd.

after this event, Nyava would found the Minutemen of Lutum, Sepet immediately threatened that he would disband it unless Nyava got 3 willing members, eventually changing it to 4, and he had to do it within 24hrs. Nyava was upset, but was able to do it in only half an hour, proving himself to be worthy as leader of the Minutemen. After Sepet's attempts to gain full control and ownership of the Minutemen, him and Clarky changed the name to House Lutum's Militia, serving the Supreme head and their family first, and the region of Lutum second. Sepet was upset, but went along with it for a bit, offering to help build a fort, Clarky agreed and Nyava let them do their thing; until he heard loud screaming, arguing, and sword swinging. Nyava rushed over to see that Clarky wanted to repair a fort that he found, but Sepet wanted to demolish it. Nyava held a mini court case in a nearby building, eventually siding with Clarky after hearing the whole story. Sepet was outraged and left, saying he would have nothing more to do with the militia; Eventually though, Clarky and Sepet eventually agreed (with the help of Nyava and Blue --former king and current regent-- of Lutum) that they would fix most of it, but demolish parts of the building. Sepet would still go on to bring this up days after.

Nyava would also go on to acquire not only Crossin (thanks to a trade for an extremely valuable sword), but also the trade center of the empire; Victoria. Myl, the original mayor, had declared it in his will that, "As for Victoria, well, it looks like there's going to be a war. If the damn thing survives, just give it to the cat." His lawyer tried to explain that the Gaia's Garden cat colony cannot legally own land in another country, even if it is critical to upholding Mylnric's promise that "the cats shall be fed so none will ever eat another Ratist". Mylnric would hear none of it. "Lutum never had laws anyway!" In order to stay true to Mylnric's wishes as well as the demands of the Empire of Diregon, it was duly noted that Victoria now belongs to Nyava, the noblest of cats. Nyava would later go on to give Victoria to his husband, Anon Rune, believing him to be more capable of running Victoria properly, while still upholding Myl's wishes.

Clarky and Nyava decided they had finally had enough, Sepet had no money, he had no power, he had a very short temper and was just unexperienced in any leadership role, they did not want him as their king. Nyava and Clarky tried to ease the government into impeaching Sepet, but because of their recent raising of a militia, Poriis --now emperor-- said "If you're gonna cause a civil war, do it now." Nyava and Clarky had to quickly explain that they didn't want that, they just wanted Sepet to peacefully step down, or be impeached from his position as king. The government didn't like this, and said that it was completely illegal, and not possible, Blue stepped in and said it was Lutum's responsibility to handle their leadership, not Diregon's, and they all left Sepet, Clarky, and Nyava to discuss. They agreed on a compromise, if Sepet could get 100K coins in half a Berrist year (2 irl weeks), he would remain as king, if he couldn't; he would step down.

Sepet would go on to rapidly make 60K, then suddenly stop; the arguments of the minutemen grew too large. Sepet had finally pushed Clarky and Nyava too far, and they would start a rebellion. Clarky would go to ask every mayor in Lutum if they supported this, while Nyava would convince Sepet to hand over the keys to Lutum's secret town hall (discord), and would draft both a constitution and denouncement. Clarky and Nyava managed to do all this and crown themselves Diarchs within 24hrs of their decision. Poriis and Sepet would demand a vote; Sepet agreeing to step down if he lost, and Nyava & Clarky agreeing to give it all back if they lost. Clarky and Nyava won the vote ~14-2 (some say 13, some 15), but Sepet would break this deal and would continue to try to get his crown back.

Clary & Nyava, along with Sepet, would go on to speak with foreign officials and begin building armies for the civil war, and it seemed both sides would only continue to grow in size. Arktis (previously known as just Blackwall --a city turned duchy of Visio--), was a big supporter of Sepet's crown, making relations between the three main regions of Diregon more complicated. During this time, thousands of letters would be sent between both sides, and yet, the figureheads of the two sides refused to talk to each other directly; many insults, slander, and accusations would be thrown around, both sides only growing more spiteful towards one another. Eventually however, Nyava would reach out to Sepet personally and come to an agreement of peace within the region. The following is Nyava's announcement to Lutum on the Second of November at 20:43:

''As the tensions in the civil war of Lutum toiled, and armies were built, I realized that Lutum could not go on like this. I, Sepet, and Clarky have negotiated peace!'' proposition and terms of peace;

AVE LUTUM! MAY PEACE FOREVER PREVAIL!

Once Lutum was more or less stable, and the new constitution was written to reflect the new Oligarchy of 3, instability would once more rear it's familiar face. the Antares --the previous emperor & current king of Visio-- had finally had enough; Poriis had unfairly won the vote with unregistered voters, declared martial law on the region, showed clear bias in regards to population and representation, and was overall splitting the region of Diregon further and further. Poriis had made previous deals with Antares regarding Swardian and Visian borders, and these raised tensions between the two immensely. Swardia had effectively taken control of 3 Visian towns, and wanted them to be recognized as such, but Antares stated that Poriis had previously agreed to let them stay as Visian. Antares would eventually come to to the newly crowned Oligarchs of Lutum as ask for it's support, to which, Nyava agreed. Antares, still having the keys to Diregon's royal meeting place (Discord), replaced Poriis' government with his own, along with re-organizing the area. Antares entrusted Nyava with these tasks, to which he tried his best. The new government would very quickly form a proper system, constitution, etc... It seemed Diregon was going to be okay after all, until it wasn't. During this short-lived peace however, Nyava would convinced Badibedo --Ulur (emperor) of Swardia-- to marry him through the use of a bribe. Shirokaneza/Velerin would get involved (originally brought in by Antares), being on both Visio's and Swardia's side, and being relatively neutral when it came to Lutum. Some sides heavily disliked the nation, while others praised it, this caused a government official of the AWE to step in and try to mediate tensions within Diregon, trying to be more impartial than Velerin; but, this did not help, in fact, this appeared to raise tensions further. Anglunia and Farania would also be contacted by Nyava to provide their input, but this was done on a smaller scale. Eventually, Shojiro --first Gragir (emperor) of Diregon & military expert-- and Poriis would state that either Poriis would regain his status as emperor, or there would be no Diregon. After an incredible stressful first day of Antares' coup, he would go missing, and be presumed dead, Swardia would also almost immediately declare it's independence, this eventually lead to the council realizing that there was no real point in keeping Diregon together; in fact, it would be more peaceful if Diregon split back into it's original pieces (more or less). Most of Visio was gobbled up by Swardia, only leaving Arktis' land to be Visio's successor (With Gangsta/Lafonze --heir to the Visian throne-- as one of it's leaders). Swardia would stay the same, only, with much more land. Lutum would remain almost identical as before.

Shurida: A New Era
Nyava would get in contact with Farania after the collapse of Diregon to propose a merger between the two countries; Nyava having previously helped their leader, Elyon, during Antares' want for annexation, having a few overlapping citizens, and overall having similar ideals to one another. Nyava created Shurida's flag, came up with the name (voted on afterwards), created their place of gathering (Discord), and drafted up their constitution. The merger would be the entire regions of Farania and Lutum, along with Soliana. Soliana, under the control of Laurry and Abbejohn, had been wanting to break free from Visio for around 12 Berrist years now, and it's dissolution gave them the opportunity they were looking for. there was originally a lot of arguing with Visio's king (Gangsta) about them leaving, but, after Visio became Arktis, they were more or less fine with it. With these territories ready, each area would have two Syovekai (High Council) members each; Clarky and Nyava for Lutum (Sepet having left Lutum after the merger to pursue his vacation home in Arktis), Laurry and Abbe for Soliana (though Laurry would go on to retire to Anglunia) for Soliana, and Elyon and Kira/Cat (Antek z Cervenliska-Kyani) for Farania. The new country of Shurida would go under the protection of Anglunia, in the form of vassalship, while they stabilized.

Nyava would marry Antek and a Faranian mayor (Zi Zi/Falska Rune) almost immediatly after the merge, along with a stranger named Mulch(?) that was at the venue. the next day, he would marry Lumiyumi, a Lutumite who he hadn't met before; this was due to Anon and Clarky convincing the two to marry.

In the Spring of 198 TE, Antek z Cervenliska-Kyani & Nyava's child is born. they named her Zsunia z Cervenliska-Fynx. Shortly afterwards, Nyava would meet up with Alvar Eliyawan-Nuwan (after being invited to scavenge) and get drunk & high, this would lead to them confessing their love for each other in a picnic in Qadakh, that night was never talked about again. Little did they know that Ember (Nyava's son) was watching them that day.

Nyava was taking a stroll through Crossin one day, when he saw it; a little fox running around the area. Nyava found it odd that a fox would be here, considering they aren't native, but, as he got closer, he realized who it actually was. Antares (Evzen) did not die the day after his coup, his slow descent into madness had turned him from a Sumari, to a true fox. Nyava fed his lost brother some berries, and left him inside of one of Crossin's houses to reside in while Nyava thought of somewhere better to keep him.

Nyava would calmly lead the nation of Shurida for a few years, until an opportunity to buy his brother's (Evzen [Antares]) town, Jurkoir, (Konimu/Agorna-Vyrdd) came up. Nyava had to pull many string to get it, including selling his personal netherite armor. Not a month goes by that Swardia declares him a squatter, and his fellow high council member and Anglunian overlords force him to give it back. He managed to make a deal however, his --now fox-- brother would be able to live in Konimu castle, residing in his true home after all this time.

After all of this, Nyava would be contacted by Da Berry, who would say the following;

"-. -.-- .- ...- .- --..-- / -.-- --- ..- .-. / .- ..-. ..-. .-.. .. -.-. - .. --- -. ... / .... .- ...- . / --. .-. --- .-- -. / - --- / -... . / - --- --- / -- ..- -.-. .... / ..-. --- .-. / -.-- --- ..- .-.-.- / -.-- --- ..- .-. / -- .. -. -.. / .- -. -.. / -... --- -.. -.-- / .- .-. . / .... ..- ... -.- ... / --- ..-. / .-- .... .- - / - .... . -.-- / ..- ... . -.. / - --- / -... . --..-- / -.-- --- ..- / .- .-. . / .- / -... .-. --- -.- . -. / -- .- -. --..-- / .- -. -.. / .- .-. . / ..- -. ..-. .. - / - --- / -... . / -- -.-- / -.-. .... --- ... . -. / .--. .-. --- .--. .... . - / .- -. -.-- / .-.. --- -. --. . .-. .-.-.- / .-- .. - .... --- ..- - / -- -.-- / .--. --- .-- . .-. / -.- . . .--. .. -. --. / -.-- --- ..- / .- .-.. .. ...- . --..-- / -.-- --- ..- / .-- .. .-.. .-.. / -.. .. . --..-- / -.. --- / .-- .... .- - / -.-- --- ..- / -- ..- ... - / - --- / .--. .-. . .--. .- .-. . --..-- / -.-- --- ..- / .... .- ...- . / . / -- --- -. - .... .-.-.-"

Nyava understood, and he prepared a will, and a note to Erica z Cervenliska, Head of House Cervenliska, the notes were the following; Notes

Nyava would die soon after, in the unfinished pit dedicated to Da Berry; although, no body was found.

Fun Facts
Growing up around politicians both before and during Eldham, Nyava never really learned what a marriage entailed; he basically thinks that a marriage is equivalent to some sort of national treaty. In a similar vain, Nyava is completely inept at anything romantic; he thinks of romantic partners more as great friends.

Having his entire family be adoptees one way or another, Nyava never learned how babies were actually made; until he got married to Eliyawin Yinower-Nuwan, having a child known as Neramyn Nyava-Nuwan.

Nyava is shockingly awful at fighting, he never learned to fight during his younger years because of his political and architectural duties, and it shows.

Because of Nyava's catlike nature, he would often steal things whenever he got the chance.

General
After the Aegeus/Konekileus incident, Nyava's soul was effectively split into 3; Nyava himself, Aegeus, and Konekileus. Although, Aegeus and Konekileus would become more "Nyava-like" over the years due to them being stuck within the confines of his mind. Each one of them contributed something to Nyava's overall personality; Aegeus was an unhinged religious zealot, Konekileus was a born revolutionary, and Nyava was a politician & family man.

Nyava started out as a happy go-lucky business man when he first arrived in Eldham, but he became an unhinged mess who dedicated himself to Berrism & his country near the end, going as far as almost causing wars.

Nyava's constant praise to Da Berry was a coping mechanism for him. The Archvessel of Saintism's (Aegeus Alastor) power to contact the dead gave Nyava constant paranoia, leading to him "repenting for his actions," but, where they really his own?

Due to the Aevum Yoakumaen curse, Nyava stole a lot of books, and ate most of them.

Deal With Da Berry
After willingly jumping into Da Berry's pit, Nyava hit the ground at full speed; killing him instantly. Da Berry would use its vines to bring his body upward, and into a proper burial, and there he would stay. Nyava's body would remain in this little grave, but, one of his souls would not pass on, only two did. Nyava --despite believing he was ready for death-- could not pass on, he still had much to do. He had left his two year old daughter to Erica, but he still had the entire rest of his family to protect, and his people to defend. Aegeus had always been there, watching and observing from the sidelines; he was a much different person than before all this, but his ambitions remained largely the same, and he felt they were completed through Da Berry's will. Konekileus was dragged into this mess after trying to rescue his brother, and now he was set free, into the great vines of Da Berry. as Nyava's corpse laid there, his golden ichor cracks began to glow brighter than they ever did before, spreading further and further. after about a TE month, Nyava arose from his grave, gasping for air, and feeling more "alive" than ever before. Da berry manifested itself before him, its incomprehensible figure looming over Nyava.

"I-I-I am sorry Da Berry, I thought I was; but, I still have my family to protect and advise..."

".. / .- -- / ... --- .-. .-. -.-- / -. -.-- .- ...- .- --..-- / -... ..- - / -.-- --- ..- / -.-. .- -. -. --- - / .-. . -- .- .. -. / .- .-.. .. ...- . --..-- / .. / ..-. --- .-. . ... .- .-- / -.-- --- ..- .-. / -.. . .- - .... --..-- / .- -. -.. / .. - / -- ..- ... - / ... - .- -.-- / - .... .- - / .-- .- -.-- -.-.-. / - .... . .-. . / .. ... / -. --- / - . .-.. .-.. .. -. --. / .-- .... .- - / -.-. --- ..- .-.. -.. / .... .- .--. .--. . -. / .. ..-. / -.-- --- ..- / .-. . -- .- .. -. / .- .-.. .. ...- . .-.-.- .-.-.- .-.-.-"

"Please, Da Berry, I will do anything you want. Have I not been loyal? have I not spread your word?"

".... -- -- -- -- -- --..-- / .- -. -.-- - .... .. -. --. ..--.."

"yes, I mean it."

".. / .-- .. .-.. .-.. / .- .-.. .-.. --- .-- / -.-- --- ..- / - --- / -... . / .- / --. ..- .- .-. -.. .. .- -. / .- -. --. . .-.. / ..-. --- .-. / -.-- --- ..- .-. / ..-. .- -- .. .-.. -.-- -.-.-. / -... ..- - --..-- / .. -. / .-. . - ..- .-. -. --..-- / -.-- --- ..- / -- ..- ... - / -... . -.-. --- -- . / -- -.-- / -.. . -- .. --. --- -.. / --- ..-. / -.. . -.-. .- -.-- .-.-.- / -.-- --- ..- / -- ..- ... - / --. . - / .-. .. -.. / --- ..-. / - .... . / .-- . . -.. ... / .. -. / - .... . / --. .- .-. -.. . -. / - .... .- - / .. ... / -- -.-- / -... --- -.. -.-- .-.-.- / -.. --- / -.-- --- ..- / .- -.-. -.-. . .--. - --..-- / -. -.-- .- ...- .- ..--.."

"if that is what it takes, then I accept."

Da Berry would raise his hand, and within seconds, Nyava would transform into a small black cat, darker than the void itself. His eyes would open into a bright yellow, forming small ichor cracks in its face. Small golden jewelry bits appeared on the cat, and they shimmered brightly.

Nyava would become the guardian angel of House Lutum, and make sure they were protected. He would observe, give advice, and help anyone in the family; for eternity.

Eventually, Nyava figured out how to 'cheat' the system, he would use his hallucinogenic blood (cause by the Aevum Yoakumaen curse) to fool people into thinking he was still living. to everyone around him, Nyava appeared as he always had (albeit, with many more scars and defects). Nyava's "death" caused many arguments, and with his reappearance, many were confused; although, Nyava would act as if nothing had ever happened, and some believed they had gone mad because of it.

Shortly after Nyava's "resurrection" of sorts, he would learn that apparently, he and Anon Rune had conceived a child, Rosa Rune. He would mainly have the maids of House Lutum take care of her when she visited, but every so often, he would also spend time with Rosa, teaching the young 8 year old girl about the frightening history of their land.

After seeing the return of Nyava, Antek would be turned into an immortal, following in the footsteps of the Erikku (immortal beings) before him.

Nyava would also marry Azeliya Lannien, the previous wife of Evzen, before his curse consumed him. Soon after their marriage, he would also turn her into an Erikku.
