Dalerac Slavski-Zerkalo

Dalerac Slavski-Shan-Zerkalo is the former high Prince of Kaźan, husband of Queen Stefaan Zerkalo of Kaźan, son of the former heir to the Ryžani throne and owner of the City of Gdanyc in the Electorate of Bébža, Helmia

Personality
Dalerac suffers from rapid mood swings, sometimes turning him violent and reckless at random. He is usually a calm and collective person and known for his interesting humor.

Early life
Not much is known about Dalerac, but what is known that he was born in the Ryzan province of Nebsksoslavia in the capital of Slouttawa to Stanislav Slavski who was his father. His mother's identity is unclear, but it is known that she left shortly after his birth. Dalerac's father died unexpectedly when he was six years old, leaving him an orphan. He spent most of his childhood on the streets of Slouttawa, stealing food from the market and fighting for every scrap of food he could acquire. Dalerac later decided to leave Slouttawa when he was 11 years old in order to "find his purpose in life." He spent his early teen years traveling across Rathnir, first visiting the Ryzani city of Carthya and then exploring the southern continents of Rathnir before settling at Journeys end, a City in the continent of Haven. During this time, he would vanish from public records for a few years before being discovered to have returned to Ryzan

Ryzan
With his return to Ryzan, he started a new life. He stayed for a year, joining the Ministry of Public Works and spending the majority of his time constructing and repairing roads. One day while drinking in a tavern in Slouttawa, he overheard a few men talking about a new nation that was formed off the coast of Bardonia by a man named Duggeth Korol-Zerkalo. Dalerac, fed up with his life in Ryzan, decides to join this newly founded nation.

Zamoze
It took four days to sail to Vyspos, the nation's capital. He wrote in a diary that he was "welcomed with open arms" and met Duggeth (Dug for short), who took him around the city and eventually the rest of the Nations Islands. He was told that the country was called Zamoze and that it was a member of the United Commonwealth, a federation of Korolian states. He was given a place to live, but he spent most of his time roaming and met Icy Zerkalo, Dug's father. He was eventually appointed as Minister of Coin, but only for a brief time as Dug decided to reform the country's government. During his final days in Zamoze, he began construction of the Zamoze parliament building, which he would later demolish with his later disappearance. One day, an unusual man wearing a pumpkin mask approached him with Dug while he was ordering his workers around at the building site. Dalerac had seen this man before, and he had grown a little afraid of him as he had just heard screams from the mans basement a few days before. The Man motioned Dalerac to follow him away from the building site, while Dug followed closely behind. The man then handed him a bottle, which contained a strange liquid, and told him to drink. Dalerac, who was worried, turned to his buddy Dug, who gave him a reassuring smile. With this, he quickly drank the liquid.

He wrote about it in his diary "I felt normal for the first few seconds, but then I was hit by a wave of extreme pain which brought me to my knees.  My clothes began to rip apart as I grew, and thick brown hair began to cover my body, with black claws emerging from my finger tips and toes. When the process was finished, the masked man smiled at me, as if he had been pleased with the result...." Dalerac had transformed into a Mjōdolud, a sort of werebear. The bear gradually shifted back to Dalerac, who raced home, soon vanishing for several months before reappearing in Ryzan once again.

Young Adulthood/The Second Ryzani Civil War
The second Ryzani Civil War had already started when Dalerac returned to Ryzan. Dalerac, who had spent most of his life outside of Ryzan, had no interest in being apart of it. Many people fled Ryzan during the war to the southern regions of Rathnir, to the land that would eventually become the Konigreich of Ozeanburg, with Dalerac joining them. Later, he was adopted by Kaiser Germathual I of Ozeanburg  (aka Peterhoff Shan-Khamen). Dalerac would then begin his political career as an Ozeani senator in Ozeanburg. He lived in Ozeanburg for a few months before briefly returning to The Csardom of Nebskoslavia, which had declared independence from the Fourth Tsardom following the fall of Carthya. Bardonia swiftly declared war on the Csardom after Ryzan's capitulation at the battle for Castle Liberium. Dalerac would briefly leave for Gdanyc during the war

The Duchy of Gdanyc/The United Commonwealth
The Duchy of Gdanyc was another State that was apart of the United Commonwealth. He spent most of his time in Gdanyc exploring the Gdanycian countryside, discovering the Gdanyc swamp, which he never returned to after his near-death experience, and meeting and befriending his Uncle Sojko Slavski, Duke of Gdanyc, as well as the residents of the Duchy. He only left briefly when the Bardonians invaded Nebskoslavia and to Ozeanburg when he was needed there.

The Commonwealth's Collapse
During the Nebskoslavian war, Bardonia threatened the UC leadership and claimed its territory, causing mass panic. The UC then lost a small chunk of its territory after Bardonia paid one of its state leaders to join them. Slout IV Korol, one of the UC Diarchs, was occupied in Nebskoslavia at the time. Everything continued running Smoothly, with Dalerac fighting in Nebskoslavia until the other Diarch, Ignati Korol I, vanished. With this, and threats from Mithra, Dalerac hurried back to Gdanyc and held a meeting with the remaining UC States' leaders. The meeting went smoothly, but with his Uncle away, he took command of Gdanyc and represented the Duchy during the meeting. All state leaders agreed to dissolve the UC, with the some states remaining independent and some joining others, such as Gdanyc, which joined Mithra after being disputed by both them and Bardonia. Dalerac governed Gdanyc as a Mithran High lord for a short time before his Uncle regained the realm. When Mithra was invaded by Bardonia, Mithra made a secret agreement with Credia, a nation state apart Bardonia and gave Gdanyc to them. Hearing this, Dalerac declared Gdanyc's independence. Gdanyc surrendered to Credian rule after negotiations with Bardonian and Credian diplomats, with Dalerac and his uncle allowed to stay. Slout returns from Lennox (where he had fled after the UC's collapse) to rule over Gdanyc as its provincial leader

Collapse of Bardonia and Days in the Helmian Federation

Dalerac in Kaźan
Dalerac spent a few weeks in the newly formed Kingdom of Daelyria after the Helmian Civil War before returning to Zamoze. At the time, Zamoze and its neighboring Synderia had merged to become the Kazan Federation, which would later become the United Kingdoms of Kazan. Dalerac lived in the Zamoze capital of Vyspos, but later moved to the Kingdom of Veldion, where he became the nation's chief diplomat. He would later return and settle in Advansats, a fortress town ruled by Stefaan Zerkalo, his former wife and crowned Queen. He would subsequently spend the next few years as a Kazani Senetor, disappearing and reappearing on a regular basis, bringing stories of his adventures in the East with him. Dalerac later fought in the Veldion-NERP conflict, but we know very little about him during that time. Dalerac was re-elected as a Kazani senetor once more, spending a few more years guiding the nation before being given the title of High Prince of Kazan along with Alev Synderys. What happened next is relatively unknown, however we did find a diary entry written by him. "Today, I was accused of spying on my people. My wife had been approached by a man who had convinced her that I was working with the enemy. I had given everything I had to help build Kazan, risking everything to ensure the nation's future, only for my wife to be easily deceived by the words of a foriegner. Today I say goodbye to Kažan, today I say goodbye to my people" End of Diary Entry. His titles and citizenship were restored after it was found that he was innocent.

Current life
Dalerac is the Mayor/Duke of the former Capital of Gdanyc, Gdanyc City, in the Electorate or Bébža (which he himself rules as a Prince-Elector) within the Holy Helmian Empire. With the dissapearence of his former wife, Stefaan, he has married a beautiful woman from Neu Misahr, located on the continent of haven. He currently has 3 children, Matos Slavski Epitchian Zerkalo, Motix Slavski-Epitchian Zerkalo and Agnaria Voltaris (we have found evidence that he had another named Kadir who died several years back, as well as a daughter who has since disappeared off the radar ever since the collapse of Kaźan).
