Venipher Velaran

"Kash Ven Rosthorn (Kash#3289), is a traveler from the realm of Velareth, a land lying north of Eldham. She adopted daughter of Voicemail. When he first came to Eldham he established herself in the nation of Aquatos, founding her town, and eventual nation of Velenu."

Pre-Eldham & Arrival in Eldham
Born originally as Venipher, or Ven for short, Ven was born in the ancient realm of Velareth shortly before the realms destruction by the storms. Before his turning of age his people were forced from Velareth and sailed southwards, into the realm of Eldham.

When she first arrived, Ven would take on a new name, Kash of Venipher, in order to hide her identify from the old gods and continue his journey. She sailed south, before reaching the city of Pokitaru, and meeting with player Gladiator_Sword, who welcomed her and implored her to join the city and the nation of Aquatos, of which, Kash did. During this time Kash would become close friends with several in Aquatos, especially with another who had joined around the same time as her, Li_tzo, the founder of the Redstone Brewery in Pokitaru.

During this time she lived in Pokitaru, she would mainly gather materials and begin his slow love of literature, collecting several books.

Though she lived a new life here in Eldham, the old gods of his forsaken realm had not forgotten her nor his people.

Founding of Velenu
On the 3rd of August, 2021, Kash heard a call from the sea, and in a small fishing boat sailed just west of Pokitaru she felt the sea tremble.

From beneath her she felt the coral reef sing and from the waves arose a god of old, Lorian, her name was. She spoke not of Kash's betrayal nor what she intended to do in Eldham, but Lorian rose the ocean floor and created the island that would become Velenu.

Soon after, the new island would become new territory for Aquatos, and Kash's personal island home.

Aquatosi Councilman
On the 8th of August, Kash would submit his bid for the election for the new Aquatosi Advisory Council, alongside MrEndermun, Li_tzo and BadLyborg, eventually winning the election and becoming a new member of the Advisory Council.

The Aquatosi-Taernsbia Debacle
Shortly after the elections and joining the Advisory Council, relations between Aquatos and Taernsbia would deteriorate, when Aquatos discovered a large mining project undergoing beneath Aquatosi territory, leading back to a mine within Taernsbia.

The discussions between the Council and the Taerni leadership would continue deteriorating, soon involving The Pirate State of Barbossa in their official statement regarding the issue. This would eventually lead Kash to meeting with Emmerman, the then leader of Taernsbia, and smoothing over some relations, leading to a solving of the situation and some territory across the river gained for Aquatos.

Rosthorn Co. Ltd & the Rosthorn Family
With things calmed, Kash would return to his Island of Velenu and begin construction of his Great Library, and in the middle of doing so stumbled upon the trade center of Boardwalk and met with Voicemail von Rosthorn, whom Kash sold several stacks of quartz blocks to in order to complete the construction of the Rosthorn Building. This would begin Kash's involvement and adoption into the Family Rosthorn.

Over time the two would grow close, starting at first as a boss-employee relationship before Voicemail adopted her, becoming the second member of the Family Rosthorn, next to Voicemail himself.

During this time, Kash would adopt Axolota Fielthorn, after finding her stranded on his island and sitting on the docks, after she arrived from Council meetings in Pokitaru.

The Dissolution of Aquatos; Formation of Velenu
"Main Article: The Mercantile Republic of Velenu"On the 20th of December, Kash Ven Rosthorn attempted to declare his independence and negotiate terms with the leaders of Aquatos. Although Fropik supported his move, GOjayson did not and rejected the idea. Kash would persuade both of them to meet her in private to negotiate with both of them together. However, the two were surprised when Pipo of Alfuna and BalloonDwarf718, both Jarls of Skjoldrbrodir were in attendance, planning to act as a third party to the negotiations. However in the heat of the moment, both Fropik and Jayson saw the move as an insult to Aquatos and the negotiations at large, and so they stormed from the building and refused to speak further of negotiations.

Kash would then meet with several other leaders, notable Delta, who she communicated with to gain the support of Vircon, and Emmerman14 of Taernsbia, gaining the support of the Mafia State of Taernsbia and by association, Goondium.

On the morning of the 21st of December, Kash was kicked from his position in the nation. This sparked her to form The Mercantile Republic of Velenu and further discussions between Kash and Aquatos deteriorated. This would lead to Kash leaking highly sensitive information regarding plans to invade the northern kingdom of Falsoria to the Nation Committee of the League of Vircon in order to refute the claims that Aquatos was in the right to refute her from leaving. By the night of the 21st, two leaders of Aquatos, Fropik and ExtremeJedi had plans to declare war upon Kash and Velenu, speaking of it to members of Aquatos, however they were overheard by spies. Leading to Kash to starve Aquatos of allies and Jayson to lock himself away for the night to rest.

Then, on the following morning on the 22nd, Kash announced Velenu's independence and approached GOJayson with two demands, Jayson who, sick of the events that have transpired, accepted the two demands. This marked the end of Aquatos and the beginning of Kash's reign as Doge.

Doge of Velenu
Following the events of the December Dissolution, Kash became the Doge of Velenu.

Expansion of Velenu City
With Velenu the new capital, Kash worked with several players to begin transforming the city, expanding it northwards and finally encompassing it with the former project known as Cact. Co. Where she would meet a former player and builder, Giemich, who has assisted in the construction of the city.

The February Rebellion
"Main Article: The Mercantile Republic of Velenu"Following the events of the December Dissolution, several members of Aquatos, notably Fropik, GOJayson, WOLF and Bobo Bill, plotted to restore Aquatos. With elections of Velenu's government coming it, they found the perfect opportunity to destabilize the nation and remove Kash from power. Kash, unknowing of their plans, continued to move towards the first elections and after the inaugurations and the introduction of laws limiting his own power, grew suspicious of Bobo and other members of the council. This would culminate in the plans exposure by a whistleblower, who informed Kash of their plans.

However following their plans exposure, Kash impeached the government, and following a confrontation with Bobo Bill after she took over the city of Crystalis, declared war on the rebels after the Rebels took over and secured the mainland.

Following these events, Kash signed and enacted several contingency plans, before moving forward with military organization, calling upon her allies to take up arms against the rebels. With the nations of Amarillo, the VCC, New Yoake, The Lunari Empire, and Skjoldrbrodir answering the call to action.

The Battle of Pokitaru
On the 13rd of February, 2022, the combined forces sieged the city while Kash watched from the city of Velenu, sick and too ill to take part in the battle herself. And watched as the coalition forces stormed Pokitaru. Kash watched as Bobo called forth armies of Phantoms and pelted the forces with eggs, before he was felled and the city fully captured.

Aftermath; Treaty of Pokitaru
Following the battle, on the 14th of February, Kash met with Bobo inside the meeting room of Pokitaru. The glass of the room shattered and scattered across the stone floor. There they both signed the Treaty of Pokitaru, and the cities of Crystalis, Innsmouth and Pokitaru were ceded back to Velenu.

Kash shook Bobo's hand and the two departed.
