DangSage

Đang is an artificial undead and Count of Vulthalla, originally belonging to a undocumented mountainous pre-historical ethnic group that wandered Serrona's mountainous areas in ancient times near the modern-day Vulpinian Province of Perravul. Awoken from his slumber in a mountain glacier by Jesus Regulus, he has proved loyal and played a crucial part in the development of the culture and infrastructure of Vulthalla, a major city in eastern Vulpinia. He has connections with several people throughout the lands of Serrona & Eldham as a whole, stretching even to leadership in Ruddersdam, Skjoldbrodir.

Glacial Encasement
Trecking up the mountainside, he setup shop initially at the base of mountain although closely followed by bandits, watching for his possessions before making their move. But this same entente would follow him for the next 3 nights. By the time Dang had started making his way to the summit to make the crossover, these Squatters were already in on his trail, until they attacked him on his way up the snowy blizzard. The group, shooting their arrows, initiated the manhunt and started chasing after the man as the weather up the mountain had just worsened, with the summit snow storm finally arriving in the mountainside from the sea westward. Slowed down at the same time however, running from these men was not easy, and the sage was even struck and bruised by their arrows and clubs. They chased him finally to the summit, where a deep sheet of ice had covered a deep but small infinity pond under a snow bank, providing protection from the storm. He attempted to hide in the cold water for what was going to be 2 minutes. But that was until the bank had collapse onto the floor of the pond, trapping Dang inside the freezing pond, with already below-freezing temperatures dropping, the pond froze over in the storm, encasing him in a glacier as he struggled, his limbs freezing. At last, his body started losing motor control in an attempt to save his internal organs. Finally, he lost consciousness, with the squatters never knowing what happened to him in the chase during the torrential hale and snow.

Political Unrest & Decline
The Perravulite lower class was composed of Dang as well as a new-comer to Vulthalla, BillyBones96 and several others that had joined with the recruitment of Jesus Regulus. Because of the general demographic becoming increasingly more ethnically diverse province of Perravul, public opinion of Vulpur enforcement had worsened alongside Dang and Billy's opinion of Burin (IGN railmaster90) worsening. Eventually, Dang and Billy came up with an idea to regress into the traditional prehistorical beliefs of the Eastern mountainous region of the country, proclaiming their long lost god as their "true symbol". With this, they recognized a false god of fable, which belonged to the long forgotten era Dang was from. The religion was called Inle, with the holy texts retaining documentation of the political drama relating to it, all within a piece of scripture called "The Book of Elil".

Poor Domestic Relations
In trying to have their good fun, Billy built many shrines throughout Serrona to this "False God" purely to get a rise out of Burin. Đang even ended up writing several different works to record the historical language of the religious and philosopical practices that were done by the people of his time at the same time as well, fledging out the scripture. However as time went on, news of a “Cult of the false god” spread and reached the Vuls in the capital of Tildivul. Burin did not seem to understand there was no real intent behind such actions, and had been given the impression that this was a retaliation to the countries history. However, as the fear of influence with said religion, Burin brought up to the then Emperor, Nuncio Yolcotl, that Vulthalla was suspicious of succession from the state. Soon enough, rumors of talks among the nobles began to flare, and an informant in the court relayed to Dang & the other Vulthalla residents that Burin was starting talks of enforcing martial law on the streets. Despite this, at the same time, rumors about the court circulated with their response through Burins assumptions. Eventually, a whole conspiracy was plotted and thought up by some Vulpinian nobles, nobly trying to respond to the non-existing threat. Using the excuse of accused secession from the THEN "Ethnostate of Vulpinia", Burin and others were planning on using the province of Perravul as a scapegoat to invade Notos, claiming that Dang and many others were planning to rebel and start a coup with aid from Notos.

Court Trial
Because of growing tensions by both parties, eventually the rumor circled and was eazed down and rose back up in conscern 3 times over the span of months. Dang, worried about the collapse of his homeland, hid away many many books and works done by himself and Billy, until inevetibly, Nuncio became frustrated by the tension building, but was also unsure if the waters were right to excuse a future invasion of Notos. So Billy and Pidgeon (Exposed informant) were both called to Court in the capital on the basis of treason.

In the eyes of Dang, Billy, and RJ (as well as the rest of the Vulthallan Lower-Class) the trial was setup to keep Billy hostage and become an active smear campaign against him and the region as a whole, which stemmed from the lack of trust that Burin's influence in the court and status as a noble would lead to any real truth to be allowed to be said. Because of this, Billy ended up leaving the nation, and to avoid global social death, put himself into exile, renouncing all connections to Vulthalla and Vulpinia as a whole.

Of course, this only made him appear more suspicious to the Vulpur nobility. With a key suspect gone, use for a public trial ceased. However, conversations between Jesus Regulus, Burin, Nuncio and Dang occurred without a hitch to ensure the survival of Perravul. To pick up the scraps and convince the emperor that indeed no rebellion was being planned, Dang came out as the founder of the religion alongside Billy, and pleaded with the Patriarch of Vulpinia. Showing him the documents and books written by himself, and the proof of AngryPidgeons information leak and cooperation, Pidgeon eventually was stripped of his noble status, as it was found that some misinformation had been wildly spread between via ommision. Dang even suspected that he worked as a double agent for both sides, this was never confirmed however.

Court Aftermath
In the end, No trial ended up happening due to Sage's efforts. Because of the conversation and quick thinking of Dang, he had been convinced he had singlehandedly prevented the Civil-War and invasion of Notos to coming to fruition. Luckily, Notos and Vulpinia are on good terms still to this day, as it's been long since this event had happened. And because of this effort, the people of Notos have taken a popularity with the "Cult of the False God" and the shrines are still praised, bringing joy to Dang. However, Billy's self-induced exile put a decline in development in the state, and the whole political schism caused a large portion of Dang's aquaintances and friends emmigrated out of the area to avoid the conflict. The first of many flaws with the state was put into motion, marking the end of the Perravul Golden Period. This would only get worst, as the personal funding of Dang's homeland would plummet, as no money was being made. Mainly because the mining Industry dropped and structural development ceased. But Jesus's new ventures to try to revive the productivity of Vulthalla wouldn't be good for Dang or the city either.

SAMCRO Founding & Battle of Bloodriver
Despite the outcome of the upheavel and decimation of the community in Vulthalla, the most trusted friend of Dang, Jesus, had founded SAMCRO, a predominant drug cartel in Serrona to try and raise money for state funds in Perravul. As a noble, Jesus got in trouble numerous times within the mainland Vulpinian court for association with such business expenditures however, so much so, that he had turned down many offers that were attempted to try and gain influence in the countries politics, all of which were bribes from rival cartels and nation in Serrona. Because of Jesus's refusal, The cartels and nations had hired mercenaries to kidnap Dang as political leverage and used him as ransom in order to influence the court and rob the Vul himself.

Death
As a result, a 5 hour skirmish was assembled to get Dang at the short Battle of Bloodriver. The battle occured in the night down the river from Vulthalla, and no prominent national figures were involved. Even with favor in the short fight however, the bands leverage over Dang had made the battle last way longer than it should of. Eventually, the enemies were drawn back down the river near the Notos border. Due to it becoming a battle of attrition for the bandits, as a last ditch effort Dang was then killed, his neck snapped in two. The hired team did not see the man as a valuable asset anymore, as it was more easier to dispose of him and steal his possessions as opposed to experiencing more casualties on the field and possibly there being a war campaign in the future. Calling in the reins and their remaining forces, the mercenaries left the body in the aftermath of the boodshed, inducing despair and horror in Jesus Regulus when he picked up the corpse of his longtime closest friend.

Aftermath
Despite the efforts of the battle, a great loss was experienced with the few left in Vulthalla as the Sage's death brought the final nail in a long dark cloud over the history of the City. With the cataclysmic event, the city fell to rubble and structural integrity fell to an all time low. Buildings of great pride withered away such as the Valley Chapel. The unfinished Ravine Prison fell to ruin as well, uncompleted, as well as several shrines dedicated to the "False God" he and BillyBones96 founded. With such buildings of importance becoming obsolete and the city abandoned, this period of stagnation and decay without Dang would last for 2 long winters while the Vulpur held onto his corpse.
