Razail White

Razail White is a human historian, journalist, and archivist of the city of Liberta, the Kingdom of Koura, and the former Kingdom of Norvos. His goal is to attain knowledge of the world and to record the history of the city and nation that so graciously took him in.

Origin
Razail White's earliest memory is one of darkness and the sounds of screaming, fighting, and a person calling out to him to stay alive. Then he awoke in a field. The only thing to his name was a fractured mask that is seemingly perpetually attached to his face. And with that, he began wandering, seeking for a place to call home. After two days of walking, Razail found himself outside the gates of Liberta. There, he was warmly welcomed by PaulWW1. Paul showed off the many features of Liberta with its Moon Lake and grand walls. After a tour of the city, Razail was offered the chance to take up residence in the northern district. He accepted Paul's offer to moved into a pre-built residential building. Shortly after this, Razail officially took his position as a historian for Liberta and the Kingdom of Norvos. He would also later go on to take up a job as a lumberjack to better support Liberta.

Life In Liberta
Once established, Razail took a few days to learn the layout of the city and personalize his home, At the same time he grew to know the people of the town like the Third Lord of Liberta, Jastlakiat Norekva and Artemis The Great. Razail would also spend more time around Paul, collecting resources for the infrastructure that was planned for North Liberta. After that, Razail would travel to Magna, Norvos, Yamindor, and Port Leon, making acquaintances and even trying vodka for the first time. He did not like the initial bitter taste but liked the feeling of drunkenness. Razail would also join the Magna Times right as they planned to come back after going out of business years prior.

A few weeks later, Razail would come across a wandering individual. Remembering Paul's generosity towards him when he arrived at the gates of Liberta, Razail would warmly welcome the stranger. The stranger introduced himself as DanTheMan8111, a foreigner to the world of Rathnir. This struck immediate kinship within Razail as he too had been a stranger to these lands. Like Paul had done to him, Razail showed Dan around the city. On this tour of Liberta, they met Jastlakiat Norekva who was glad to see another possible person to join Liberta. After the tour, Dan was given citizenship and a room in the Liberta Estate. And with that, Razail had not only helped support his city, but also gained a new friend.

North Liberta Meeting
A few months later, Liberta faced a problem. The city had just gone under a population boom and land expansion into an acacia biome. Subsequently, a new building style popped up which made these homes look out of place with the rest of Liberta. This left a question in the minds of the older citizens. Should these buildings be torn down and rebuilt using the spruce and sandstone style that most of Liberta used or should it be left the way it was and instead be made into its own district. There was poll that was held with the citizens and the overwhelming majority voted for the creation of a new district. Due to the fact that it was the northern most part of the city and locals referring to it as Northern Liberta, the new district was named North Liberta. The rest of the city would become the district of Liberta Proper.

The Liberta Historian Guild
In the summer of year 227 AJC, Razail had an idea come to mind. In his nine months of living in Liberta, he had been the only person to choose to be a historian. Keeping tabs on one city is enough of a job for one person. But to keep track of the history of the Kingdom of Norvos and all its cities? That is quite a handful. Knowing that he bit off more than he could chew, Razail went to Jastlakiat Norekva to officially request the creation of the Liberta Historian Guild. The guild's goal would be to start by recording the history and going-ons of Liberta. Hopefully, the guild would grow to incorporate the history of other cities and eventually the entirety of the Kingdom of Norvos. Jastlakiat would question Razail if the guild would use a building and, if so, where it would be located. Razail, who had thought this through, told the lord that he planned on using the planned library as the main headquarters of the guild. Seeming satisfied, Jastlakiat approved of Razail's request and the Liberta Historian Guild was born.

Life In the Kingdom of Norvos
Razail would see his first conflict within Norvos with the accusations of stealing land from a player named Raptor Di Italian't. Raptor was a minor noble in the Kingdom of Norvos who lived in the capital city of Port Leon. He claimed that they had unjustly claimed the island of Kadas as a part of the Norvosian kingdom. Jayant, the king of Norvos, refused to make any changes claiming that the island had been a part of Port Leon since its founding. While Raptor was outraged at Jayant's response, he would follow with no course of action.

Razail would go on to join the reformed Magna Times and report a few stories for the news station. There he met Shane Norekva, the boss of the Magna Times. This time, however, was short lived as other forces began to rise.

The Death of Norvos And the Birth of Koura
The nation of Leveros. A distant neighboring country to Norvos, only separated by a small stretch of land owned by the pirate nation of Tortuga. The people of Leveros had once been old Norvosian people who had left their cities to rot and waste away. They left their homelands and moved, creating the nation of Leveros. As time passed, the people began to inhabit the forgotten cities, building them from the ground up. This was the new Norvos Kingdom. As time passed, no conflict arose that would ruinationship between Leveros and Norvos. This would be how it was until Leveros suddenly decided to return to their old homes. Without warning, Leveros would demand that Norvos hand over Port Leon and Norvos as it apparently belonged to them. Norvos attempted negotiations and diplomacy but the blood lusting Leveros would have none of it. Soon, war was both sides. Norvos rallied  and began to prepare defenses. Razail helped with the building of sweet berry traps a few others like Lead and IbisPaint. However, Razail was not there during the battle as he was visiting a library for information that might help with winning the war. Sadly, the war would be short lived as Norvos lost the battle. Having spent a large amount of money recruiting mercenaries and buying gear, Norvos lacked the money to continue fighting. The mercenaries were of no help and Norvos was forced to give up their eastern cities and collapse. While Leveros took over the eastern side of Norvos, the western cities (Yamindor, Liberta, and Magna) conversed with the leaders of Leveros and became the vassal nation of Koura.

"My beloved Norvos, you turn your face for the sake of the people. But I dearly hope to see the radiance of your face on a new day."
