Skynner

Skynner is a spirit that manifested in Eldham, during the winter of the year 151 TE, in the nation of Bel-Ismer at the time vassal of Anglunia.

Early Life
When he first appeared he was nothing more than a faint white shadow, but as time went on he started to gain power and with that a more refined shape. After aproximately 10 years he stumbled upon a tavern where a brewer lived. He decided to stay in the brewer cellar below the tavern, tormenting the poor brewer to gain power. In the cellar he saw that after each time he would appear in a dream of the brewer, the latter would drink copious amounts of alcohol. This intrigued the spirit to the point of deciding to study and understand those concotions and how to make them.

Yet time went on and he became more and more material up to the point of not being able to phase through walls and he stopped being somewhat invisible, he now appeared as a black mist with bright white eyes. Although the brewer thought of the spirit as nothing more than a vision it was clear now that he was real. The brewer, after seeing the spirit holding his recipe book in the cellar, finally had the proof of his existence and decided to call an exorcist to purge the spirit.

The exorcisim
The spirit was reading through a recipe book of the brewer, when the sound of bells and the smell of incense started to seem more and more intense. He didn't have time to hide that the cellar door burst open and a shaman entered the basement, the occultist started chanting. The spirit left out a screech of pain as he started to fade under the spell of the shaman's chants. The shaman after the spirit was lying on the ground, for the pain, set him on fire. The spirit screeched once again but this time sending a shock wave that shattered all the bottles of alcohol in the cellar and killed the shaman, the brewer that was in the tavern upstairs heard the nightmarish scream and ran away.

The recovery
The spirit even if still "alive" was severely hurt after the attempt to banish him. With his last strenght he managed to get out of the cellar just to faint on the stairs that led to the tavern. The spirit awoke the next day, noticing he was fading, while the exorcism didn't work it severly hurt the spirit that was now slowly disapearing, dying. So he decided to search the shaman body for anything useful. He found a book and some silver belts, he spent the next 2 days reading through each page of the book.

In the book were stated multiple details regarding the spirit's kin, and ways to banish them. In an exorcism the spirit must be weakened and then tied with the silver belts, after that it must be burned at the stake and through a ritual finally banished. In the book was stated that the belts didn't damage the spirit in any way they only prevented them from phasing through objects and posses people. He decided to wear the belts, thinking that they could stop him from fading away. initially it was extremely painful but after a couple of hours he stopped fading and the pain disappeared. He took the cloak of the shaman to hide his appearance and started wandering around Aristios hoping to find a place to live.

Later life
The spirit wandered through the north of Bel-Ismer trying to find a place to live and finally after a year of searching he found a city. In the city he was initially welcomed but once his identity as a spirit was found out the citizens burned him at the stake. Unfortunately for them, the spirit wasn't weak enough for the ritual to complete and he managed to escape.

Even after this second attempt to exorcise the spirit he still wanted to live in a comunity. One day while walking on a road he stumbled upon a merchant and a strange human, he would learn that the later was a Yirsi, talking about a prosperous town in the nation of Anglunia, Norstaeyya. The Yirsi talked about how the city had recently reached an high number of citizens and he also vaguely gave the position of it.

The spirit thought that it was worth to try and go there, others had already failed twice in banishing him why would they manage to do so now. After wandering for years, in the spring of the year 171 TE, he found the town he was looking for, Norstaeyya. The spirit soon became a citizen that went by the name of Skynner.

During his life in Norstaeyya, Skynner told stories regarding his endevours that led him to the city. He would later on notice a young girl that was always in the tavern listening to his stories, sometimes she even helped Skynner cleaning the tavern. This girl was Livya Dardellan-Lochatlan, and as time passed the two became great friends.

Bartender
Skynner became a citizen of Norstaeyya during an housing shortage, and because of that he was given the old city's tavern that had been closed for some years. He decided against adapting the whole tavern into an house, and decided to live on the upper floor. Under the ownership of Skynner the tavern opened once again and thanks to the large amount of people buying alcohol he soon bacame somewhat known between the other citizens.

Norstaeyyan Council member
Skynner would later on become a member of the city's council thanks to the ability he had shown in some projects such the rehabilitation of the city's factory, but also thanks to his close bonds with the daughter of the Onsyr, Livya, that pressured the mother for him to be part of the council.

Politics
Skynner would later go on winning the elections of the year 195 TE becoming a Vindyi, senator, under the MCP, Miraun Communitarian Party. The same year he also recieved the charge of Niyaevor, helper of the minister of commerce, further rising his rank from senator up to lesser minister.
