Orleborle

Orleborle, also known as Zedis Eydur, is a political philosophist and one of the inventors of Luxite Nationalism. He's a devoted Luxite, and has dedicated his later years to Lux. Through his crusades, he earned the title of "The Holy" by his people.

Early Life
There are not many historical records of Zedis' early life. But Zedis himself says that

"I grew up in the Acodonite tribe, I was not rich nor was I poor. I had my own house, I could afford food. But I could not afford anything too fancy." Records of Zedis first started showing up in late July of 2021.

Settling of Acodon
Acodon was settled on the 07/24/2021, by the players Zedis Eydur (Orleborle), Iou Zahir (TGOMaster) and other members of the Acodonite Tribe notably Lucioio.

Integration
The town realized that they were squatting in an minor power in Ummarnu, when the Prince-King of the Kingdom of Sinatra-Mafia reached out to them, handing an ultimatum of integration or destruction.

Zedis and Iou realized that they could not stand up to an organized nation they had four members at this point and the best alternative would be integration with limited representation.

Duchy of Acodonia
Acodon, at this point had existed for about five months at this point, and had itself been recognized as an official town after its integration into the Kingdom of Sinatra-Mafia. At this point, nationalism and seperatism began to arise in Acodon, especially due to the Sinatra-Mafia's seeming ignorance towards the Acodonians religion of Lux. The leader who was a devoted Luxite, was dissapointed of seeing this.

With the Acodonians approaching Prince-King Wacko to purchase their independence of off the Sinatra-Mafia. He denied this, seeming offended and distrust between the Acodonians and the government began. The government knew that Acodon held most of the active population and the majority of the active army was stationed there with loyalty to the Mayors of Acodon.

Eventually, a compromise would be made up by the two mayors of Acodon Zedis Eydur and Iou Zahir. This would be brought up to the government, they would be allowed their own region as a duchy still integrated but able to form their own national personality and culture. The government agreed, and placed Zedis and Iou into the parliament. They quickly noticed old government files, they had plans of purging the Acodonians.

Zefranian War of Independence
After all of this, the Acodonians were fueled by anger. This was not just an attack on them, but on their Luxite beliefs. Acodon had stayed neutral in national affairs, but they realized that those who they had entrusted with keeping their people safe on a greater level were liars.

They reached out to their allies in Solisios about help against the Sinatra-Mafia, who had already been in a small border dispute with each other. The Solisians helped and on the 28th of December 2021, victory of the Sinatra-Mafia was achieved, and the Federal Kingdom of Zefrania was born by the Treaty of Luxios. This however was only the first part of the Civil War, this first part became known as the Zefranian War of Independence.

Interwar
Between this and the second part of the war, attempts by the Sinatra-Mafia was made of re-integrating Zefrania, the Zefranians did not wish to. And after denying the immediate return of the Zefranian occupied Sewer Mafia the Sinatra-Mafia once again declared war.

Second Sinatra-Zefranian War
This war lasted two months. It was mainly a cold war, however one active military operation carried out by the Zefranians took place, which was a raid on Portshire. This raid would not really lead anywhere militarily but politically it gained Zefrania a new spy, a spy in the new king's UntouchedSpoon's personal circle. Throughout this cold war phase, Zefrania experienced a huge population boom thanks to the new town of Takmandan, with amazing architecture that managed to draw people in from all over Rathnir.

The war would eventually conclude with a Zefranian victory, and the signing of the Treaty of Acodon as a conditional surrender by Sinatra was made, after Zedis and Iou managed to turn the Sewer Mafia who they fought for against them.

Vulcan Crisis
Right after the conclusion to the Sinatran Civil War the Zefranians thought that now, at last they could finally focus on internal matters, in building a strong state. However, a man from the east demanded that Zefrania was handed over to him. The Zefranians did not even know of this guy, but found out he was from Lunaris.

The Zefranian government immediately contacted their allies in Solisios and Lennox and everyone went on high alert. The Zefranians also took contact to Lunaris who said they had nothing to do with this, which was a relief for the Zefranians. They quickly found out that all Vulcan had to back him was the Bigpeople'smarket and two mercenaries. The leader of Lennox, P3tr0z knew the owner of Bigpeople'smarket and made them back off. And Vulcan then just stopped.

Zefrania Under Alda
Zefrania had found themselves in a strange situation, relations had broken down with Solisios after Zefrania had refused to join them and one of their diplomats in return claimed Zefranian lands. Zefrania got paranoid, for no apparent reason they decided to join the Kingdom of Alda for protection. They kept many of their previous rights and had a good amount of autonomy. This would have unforeseen consequences however.

The Great Zefranian Purge
The Great Zefranian Purge happened as a public response to the vassalization. The leaders had acted on their own accords, not even notifying the council. A secret group called "Peace for Zefrania" formed, this group wanted to overthrow the current rulers Zedis Eydur and Iou Zahir and put a democracy in charge, then they would leave Alda. This formed two factions, the Rebels and the Loyalists. The Loyalists quickly took action, sacking Takmandan who was one of the rebels. Then a joint Vanyrian and Zefranian force attacked Blyth Yanren another rebel town. Alda would take to negotiating with the rebels, making them leave.

The Zefranian government would regret letting Alda negotiate on their behalf however, they had a compromise in mind. This killed off Zefrania and made them insignificant as most of their active population dissapeared. After this Zefrania became a dictatorship, and completely incorporated themselves into Alda as a province.

Diplomat for Alda
The integration would gain Iou and Zedis seats in the Aldan parliment, and diplomat status. Zedis would immediately join on an envoy to Ombria, a close ally of Alda. This would be enjoyable, however, they saw Zedis in somewhat of a bad light. Wacko, the old leader of the Sinatra-Mafia had origins in the continent of Vastalos, and the leader of Ombria knew him. Zedis had ruined Wacko, he had killed Wacko. Therefore, the mood was a little tense between Zedis and the leader of Ombria. However they agreed to leave the past behind, and look forward.

Zefranian War of Reclamation
Zedis, had passed away however after his ressurection in September 2022, he would go back to Zefrania seeing what the Aldans had done to his nation, he was filled with anger. In the begging he played his cards carefully, slowly making his intentsions of joining the mega coalition against Alda, DUTY against the Aldans. His plot was discovered, as Zedis got incredibly angry after learning that over 1 million coins in loot had been stolen collectivly from Zefranian towns by Don the Red the leader of Vanyr.

He ordered Case Netherite to be set into action, launching a raid on Vanyr, winning it. He got the royal Golden Apple back, given to him by Luxites. However, the many stolen Luxite artifacts taken by Don still remained in Vanyr. This sparked a deep hatred for Alda in the remaining Zefranians who took refuge in Caeli, where Zedis still had some friends notably Hirosol. He would later make friends with the other leader of Caeli ThSolarWolf.

Eventually, the town of Fransterdam which Eight Eydur, one of Zedis closest friends owned, in Uldarash whom Alda had recently joined in quite a strange move was taken from him by Uldarash. In perhaps one of the strangest situations, admins allowed to Uldarash to attack this town after they had been supporting Uldarash waravoiding for months at this point. The town of Fransterdam was rebranded and its culture set ablaze. This angered Zefrania, they were going to destroy Uldarash with DUTY. No more mercy, it was personal now, all wishes that Zedis had for a peaceful resolution was gone. He wanted to see the same treatment which Uldarash had shown towards them shown towards Uldarash.

Loss of Zefrania
Vanyr would eventually annex Zefrania after Orleborle had been rude to them as they did not have any active citizens, whilst Acodon was in its golden age.

"We knew this day would come, we have been betrayed yet we were prepared for this betrayal. They declare war upon us over government selling out to imperalists. They are Neo-Aldan imperialists, nothing more than that! Yet we shall find a new home, in that I believe. Let Lux still guide us, to victory." - Orleborle

The Meth
One day, Orleborle would meet Neo_Aurelian. Who he didn't know yet, at that time was the leader of the strongest Eldham nation called Uraka.

Orleborle initially noticed him because his game was lagging, considering Neo had wings, they looked incredibly fancy but the game didn't. He invited Neo over to his town Acodon to show him around.

They started talking as Orleborle was giving him a tour, then suddenly Beast arrived. He decended from one of the houses like an angel, and broke his legs. After that, the tour was finished, except for one final thing. The first piece of Acodonian meth, they went into the Acodonian Bar, where a piece of meth was proudly displayed.

And as soon as Orleborle mentioned meth, they both rushed into the bar to take a look at it. Neo offered to pay 10k for it, and it was sold. Thus, the first meth buisness on Rathnir started. Eventually Orleborle saw how many people was making meth buisnesses, and how much the joke was dying. So, he officially shut it down, and banned meth in Zefrania. But legalized weed, because Tegridy exported that on a huge scale. He also legalized Opium.

"Because you can't be a monarch without a sizeable amount of opium, and then declaring war on the nations which exports it, because they banned it!" - Orleborle.

Zedis' Bandit Days
Zedis, when the Sinatran Civil War was still raging, decided to make a bandit application which would shortly be accepted. He would use this to initiate skirmishes, and hopefully deal minor blows to the Sinatran war effort and morale.

The war would end relatively abruptly, with the signing of the Treaty of Acodon. This, would in turn lead to Zedis having bandit powers which he didn't know what to do with. To his luck, his friend in Lennox P3tr0z also had bandit abilities. So they decided to go on a raiding spree, to not just celebrate the glorious Zefranian victory but to generally have a good time. They started raiding, though only managed to get one set of diamond armour. They decided to just walk around and talk, though eventually stumbled upon a naturally generated desert well. They then went each their ways, and a friendship had been made. They previously knew each other because of their connections through Solisios, and their shared religion of Lux. They had also fought together in the legions of Lux, in the second relic war.

Holy Spring Sacrifice
"I, as High Priestess of Lux. Declare this area holy!" - High Priestess of Lux Emelyn, at the Holy spring in Acodon

The Winter Celebrations
After the Acodonites had adopted the religion of Lux, it quickly brought them into contact with the nation of Solisios. They quickly became good friends with the government. As Christmas was approaching, the leadership of Acodon would see it as a fun little thing to celebrate Christmas with their friends and people inside of Acodon. So on the 21st of December 2021, Acodon invited people from all around which they had befriended through out their time of political expansion, and generally meeting people. The people there ate and drank, eventually the leadership of Acodon gave out gifts. They gave a strider to the Solisian government, and a couple of discs to Junkybunky and Frogmedic.

The Sacrifice
Eventually, they all went up to sacrifice. Although Junkybunky and Frogmedic believed in another religion, they wanted to be a part of a Luxite sacrifice. Which gained them a lot of respect from everyone there, that they would lay their traditions behind them for a little while to be a part of something greater.

Eventually High Priestess Emelyn called upon Lux, and suddenly wings of fire shot of their back. The group looked at them with amazement from what had just happened. Eventually Orleborle gave Beast his sword, and asked him to cut out his eye, Beast responded to this request with "You must be drunk!" Orleborle then did it himself, his eye plopped into the water, leaving a horrific scare. Eventually after the sacrifice was made, Lux left. And High Priestess Emelyn declared the place holy.

Priesthood
Zedis was amazed by the miracle at the holy spring, and when a time of peace eventually would land upon the Ummarnu continent he would start studying in the great university in the capital city of Lux; Luxios. He would study theology developing a quick interrests in not just the main faith but the off shoots in Eldham and the Kingdom of Lennox. He also started studying writtings and maps wanting to gain a field of knowledge in virtually everything. Aswell as warfares, as to not risk the same disorganization as in the recent civil war. The unversity luckily had rows upon rows of books containing all sorts of knowledge from all parts of the world

Priest of Lux
Eventually after studying he would be invited to a meeting by the then High Priestess of Lux Emelyn H. This meeting was with a non believer wanting his religion to be allowed in Solisios and accepted in Lux. Emelyn voiced their complaints about Lux not being respected and people trying to leach off the religion, which Zedis understood. Under the meeting he defended Lux. The entire council of Lux was at this point fed up with his borderline insults to the religion and Zedis swiftly killed him. He was made a priest after this.

Zefranian Lux
After this meeting Zedis started to wander around Zefrania. He was confused in some ways. Should there not be some acceptance and tolerance to at least the existence of other religions? He wondered if perhaps these other religions in the same nation could be in the grand scheme consumed by Lux, adding new traditions, skill and standards? He himself owned a nation with a different native religion which he had seen acceptance too. Zedis, following some old books by the old War Veteran Jamesk799 who had mysteriously dissapeared decided to do so establishing Zefranian Lux another offshoot of Lux that shows more tolerance.

Luxite Nationalism
One day Zedis was strolling through Acodon when he saw Jamesk's house. He went inside to check it out, he to his surprise found a new book laying on a chest. He opened it to see a whole unfinished manifesto. Zedis immediatly started finishing it, thus creating Luxite Nationalism.

Personality
Zedis has been noted as a staunch person, who manages to command quiet respect of his people, an adaptive diplomat and a pain in the ass. He has also been noted as a nice individual. He is also very dedicated, and has been noted for strong arming diplomacy while still being able to compromise.

Raggedy Shoes
Zedis' shoes has been commented negatively on many times by the community, even by one of the server owners Stoneystoner. This led Zedis to a deep depression where he didn't wear shoes for 15 months straight. He started wearing shoes again eventually. This initially started with TGOMaster calling his shoes raggedy, to which this spread to Hirosol and ThSolarWolf then spread further. One day they agreed to ask Global Chat. Then Stoneystoner agreed, commenting that he had fake ass jordans. Zedis realized he could not disagree with a guy who was wearing the most drippy light up sketchers.

This would lead to Zedis spiraling into a long road of alcohol abuse.

The Void
After his death, Zedis would be cast into the void by Tenebris. He would plea to Tenebris and Lux for one last chance upon the mortal realm of Rathnir, he knew what mistakes he had commited, he knew that he had caused dissapointment and was not viewed upon with grace in the eyes of Lux and Tenebris. He stood in front of them, an awkward silence entered the room. Eventually, Lux would speak, the room shook with the power of her voice:

''You, mortal. You dare stand here in my grace, and ask for a second chance? Do you really think that you deserve such? I pity you, you fool. We shall grant you one last chance, to prove yourself. You shall be able to wander the mortal realm once again. But do not expect kindness nor mercy from us, if you spoil your second chance mortal. I am forgiving, but not limitless.''

Everything went black, and he woke up.

Ressurection
Zedis woke up in the fortress "The Last Bastion" the birds were chirping around him, it was peaceful. He heard the waves of the Sea of Pearls nearby, drawn in by its magestic sounds he wandered towards the beach. He looked at the fort before walking down, was he okay now? Had Lux granted him his wish? It seemed like it. He saw smoke down by the beach, and a ship in the distance, a small ship. When he got down to the beaches, he was greeted by his three friends, Darknessslayer, Eightwhisper and TGOMaster. They welcomed him, he looked confused as he wandered on the ship. The ZRN Crusader. He went to sit down as the ship took off being given food, he could not really wrap his head around the events which recently had taken place. A lot had happened in a very short span of time.

Karabinia
After Zedis was picked up by his old friends, they went to Eight's town Karabinia. Zedis would quickly discover that it was placed within Kutaiyara, the nation founded by Xoda Eydur and Lordivoldmordi, the very mayors he had kicked out of Zefrania. Still having the mind and soul of Zedis, he knew who these people were and frankly he felt weird being on the soil of his rivals. He decided to live in the ship ZRN Crusader though, living humbly and starting over. He would quickly get back to his regular routine of mining and walking around. He would start reading and writing poetry to inspire hope in the remaining Zefranians that brighter times were ahead of them. Zedis would come to realize that the ZRN Crusader was the only remaining part of the Zefranian army. Now a rouge ship, their most advanced one except for the unfinished ZRN Blythian. The ZRN Crusader would become a symbol of Zefranian resistance and freedom, it was now a rouge ship, but officially docked into safety in Karabinia. Zedis would blow it up.

The House of Eydur
Orleborle knew that he would eventually pass on, and that he would have to secure his dynasty's rule in his lands. Therefore he decided to establish the House of Eydur. He immediately recognized Jeremiah Eydur as his half brother, and adopted Frog Eydur. Frog was the crown-princess and was to own the nation one day. Sadly, she passed away due to an illness and Zedis would outlive her. The same going for Junky.

He would go onto adopt Eight Eydur afterwards, and the disgraced Xoda Eydur who was kicked out of the family and completely disowned after the Great Zefranian Purges, which saw him being disloyal and disobeying the same throne that he was to one day sit upon, for a democracy.
