Cheeks

Early Life
Cheeks Gardyloo, was born into a nobel family in a wealthy coastal town, far from the lands of Eldham. The name of the city has been long forgotten, and it's believed by most that the city no longer exists. Cheeks was always drawn to the sea, he would spend hours by the shore, watching the waves roll in and imagining what lay beyond the horizon. As a young piglet, he would often go out at night to go fishing on his family's fishing/sailboat, sometimes he would even fall asleep to the gentle rocking of the waves.

Cheeks' father who is unknown, was the head of House Gardyloo for many years, a wealthy and influential family clan in the town. From a young age, Cheeks was groomed to be a leader and was given every opportunity to succeed.

Growing up in the lap of a luxury town, Cheeks was able to be taught the finer things in life and was given the best education money could buy in his world. He excelled in his studies, particularly in philosophy and politics, which would serve him well in his future endeavors.

As he grew older, Cheeks realized that his true passion was for the sea, and he left his town to seek his fortune as a sailor. He worked on various ships, learning the ropes and honing his skills, until he eventually became the captain of his own vessel. But Cheeks was not content with just being a good sailor - he also had a deep spiritual side, and he began to study various religions in search of a deeper meaning to his life.

The Journey
Long before the trip from Eldham to Primus, the journey began. It's difficult to pinpoint the precise beginning of Cheeks' voyage; all we can say with certainty is that it began long ago. The real beginning of the journey, however, can be found when Cheeks set out on his large vessel to search for a new home and new land. Cheeks had heard about a land called Eldham from family and friends back home, and he wanted to find this place himself. Unfortunately, it was thought that night that some terrible weather had struck, and he and his ship were lost at sea.

Despite this, he was able to recover and get out of the storm by safely sailing in the direction he thought land was in, and the direction people said Eldham was in. He ended himself sailing toward the shores Eldham, proving he and his friends and family were right. He eventually found himself on what some call The Wiltzian Peninsula, in the Palean town of Wiltzia, and for convenience's sake, Cheeks chose to settle there and live with it's current inhabitants. His fishing boat was in poor condition when he initially parked it there. He worked hard to get in back into working condition so he could go explore again. Nevertheless, Cheeks would soon relocate to the Palean capital of Karth after learning that some of his colleagues and acquaintances were doing so in order to live better lives and serve their country.

The Journey to Primus
The Pale had resolved to leave Eldham in search of a better home when the moment had finally arrived. We were starting to dislike living in this land. At the Karth Docks & Seawall, all of the Paleans who were eager to embark on the expedition, including Cheeks, clambered aboard the boats and set sail. While waiting to board the ship that would transport them to new lands and a new home, Cheeks and his fellow Paleans stayed active. Lucky for Cheeks and his fellow Paleans, the initial piece of land they had spotted was large enough for them to be able to dwell on, thus it took them several weeks before they would even start to find a new place of which they could inhabit.

The Paleans anchored their ship at the nearest place that reminded them of their former home and had snow. It was thought that Cheeks and a few other Paleans, including the queen Wolffox, first made their home in a small valley tucked between two mountains, they called this settlement, Eelry, before boarding their ships once more and sailing north in search of a better snow-covered land. They eventually arrived at what would become known as Portus Speciosa Eelry, or the Port of Beautiful Eelry, and settled there. The Paleans decided to keep the same name for both towns, as it was a beautiful name for them. Cheeks later founded a news organization and wrote on a variety of topics, including his travel to these new areas that would eventually come to be known as Primus, when he landed in the new land of what would become Eelry. The first tale Cheeks had created would be about losing the Palean King, JDD.
