NotaKiwi is a spirit and lennox citizen.

Backstory:
Ahria:

He once was a young man known as Ahria. Ahria was a young man from a wealthy family that lived in the south of Nieden. One day he decided to go out in the woods and setup a little workshop to work on his magic but due to misfortune and sheer incompetence he never got anywhere with this. One day the local lord noticed his presence and left a note, that he could stay on the land, but not use any of the resources. With his chances of achieving anything now completely shattered he went on to wonder the lands, looking for small jobs, even turning to crime when his stomach called for it. He was faithless for the longest time, but upon hearing of Lux for the first time, he accepted the divine gods of Lux and Tenebris and went on to start a new live in the Kingdom of Lennox.

Kingdom of Lennox


He inhabited Zar'Roc for most of the time he spent in Lennox, in his time there he built a house and got to know some of the other inhabitants. He lived a fairly simple and uneventful life, only ever engaging with the wider world through the news. He visited the library of Dragoonis at one point and this experience led him to rediscover his passion for writing and science. With his new knowledge he improved the cactus farm, dedicated more time to his faith and became increasingly isolated and lonely. That is exactly the reason he choose to leave Zar’Roc and spend some time in Nermou. There he spent less time on his experiments and more time trading, talking, and letting time flow by. However, this was only temporary, as two events shuck his peaceful world.

The day the sun didn't set
It was a day like all others, but this time, Lux didn't give up the field and the sun turned red. Ahria believed that something must have happened, that there was something so important, that Lux couldn't go down now. He spent day's making observations and trying to make what he saw understandable, but unfortunately all records of him at the time and his theories are lost to time.

A attack on the city
A simple attack by a few squatters would turn out to be just a sign of what was to come. In just a few days, the seemingly immortal empire of Bardonia fell, a state near Nermou called Andorn collapsed, and as panic spread in The Three Thrones Ahria decided that he had to continue his work. There would be no more wasting time, he believed he needed a way to intervene in the fight between Lux and Tenebris, to fix the natural cycle, before it could fall out of form entirely.

In this time, he wrote his first book.

Devil's diary
In 30 short pages he describes his experiments and thoughts, it is built like a diary, so while we don't know when exactly he wrote it, we can assume it was written over the course of 15 days. In the book we can watch his mental condition slowly detreating, as he becomes more obsessed with the things he learns about the universe. He reconsiders death, his entire world view, and at last, even what throws his ideas of what this project was for out of the window, because of his greed for power. The book becomes a tragic documentation of the fall of a good man, one who didn't realise what he was doing until it was too late, and one who was pushed over the edge, because he wanted to do the right thing, more than he wanted to be happy. In the final few words of the book, he warns those with similar ambitions as him that they wouldn't be granted the mercy of death.

The actual content of the book is more important than Ahria's emotional journey though. Key details include:
 * The discovery of differences between science, alchemy, and magic


 * The discovery of soul sand as a binding force between life and death


 * The summoning of the Wither


 * His transition to a spirit

A spirit
As all of these things are described in the book, we are fairly certain it was at this time that he became a spirit. Not quite alive, not quite dead. His appearence changed significantly, as he turned from a strong young man, into a strange candy, we don't know exactly how this transition played out, but acording to the description in the book, he saved this part of him with all his power and knowledge, so we assume it's magic. His story is a grim reminder of the cruelty of ambition and how human nature, and good goals can break a person. Those heavy themes are only slightly less believable because he looks like he came from a candy factory...

Today:
It changed his name to NotaKiwi, this might be its way of distancing himself from his past, or maybe moving on from its time as a mortal. It is now traveling Rathnir, trying to help others, and saving the lives of those that can't help themselves. He is now completely dedicated to peace and hope, it still believes in Lux and Tenebris, but they aren't one of its priorities anymore. It found a new home in Borhammer, but still keeps in touch with his old home in Lennox.
