Early Days in Ayesinco
Círan'dir was born & raised in Ayesinco, a city made out of pure sandstone on the peninsula of Arritas. He was raised by both his parents, Narthedir Galus, his father and mayor of Ayesinco at the time; and Yesui Kev-Nak, his mother. From a very young age, he helped his father with town maintenance and jobs. He was lectured by his mother and father about the history and religion of Theiónikos, later on converting to the faith of Theiosism. Showed a lot of martial prowess from a very young age, he was very skilled with a sword & was a calm, yet energetic, child; but when he with time he became quite arrogant, egotistical, and overconfident in his abilities.

As a boy, he also took interest in a local bar in Ayesinco called the Sword & Sun, which was ran by Supe'operius (who was simply nicknamed 'Super'), a mysterious (and usually intoxicated) man with a deep voice and an expert brewer.

Interest in the Art of the Sword
Círan'dir from a young age was competitive and had a big interest in sword fighting, whenever he was near a tree he would snap a stick of it and use it as a sword, one day his father gave him a wooden training sword and he used it everyday. When he was old enough to compete, he would go to gladiator/jousting fights, notably ones in Gebel & Mingrelia he would go on travel the deserts there on his horse called Garath, when he was old enough his father took him to Ves-Naissus to join the military, the Riders of Theios. He learnt a lot whilst his time in the military., they taught him most of the basics of war combat & self defense, although he knew how to fight he didn't have the knowledge or experience to function in a time of war. He learned the art of Iundrid but later on he would create his own unique way of fighting.

Becoming a Paragonite
After his time in the military, Bob his uncle advised him to join a mercenary group, he decided on Paragon and set sail for the continent of Haven to be tested. The testing lasting 2 weeks which Círandir passed and became a Orolite which is a honorary member, he must prove himself in battle to become a full member of the group, a Helite, which he accomplished very quickly. He loved Paragon and made many friend there, the group was eventually dissolved. Even after it was dissolved he still considered himself a paragonite, although later on he would make his own mercenary group called Asár which would do surprisingly well.

Made a lot of revisions to the system and how Theiónikos worked. He turned Theiónikos from a poor desolate desert village, to a powerful feared prosperous place, with a rich economy and large military.

They spoke for a while until they agreed to being vassalized into Theiónikos for a brief time later leaving.

Establishment of the Ikári
Círan'dir established the Ikári which is a government council of his most trustworthy advisors helping him run the state, these three being Bob Pullus Galus (Former Archon & Uncle), Romanus Eggus Galus (Former Leader of the Military & Uncle).

Neo Carnian Revolution
During Theiónikos' time under YA, Carn revolted from YA and a huge war emerged. Círan despite not liking YA fought for them seeing Carn's & Drach's evil, he & the rest of Theiónikos played a key part in the fighting and YA won in the end. Theiónikos benefitted a lot from this conflict gaining Sironia & war experience for his men. But the Emperor of YA Cassius grew ever suspicious of Círan's distaste to his leadership & ethnicity. Cassius & Círan'dir had a unstable and distasteful view on each other Cass was always on the thought that Círan would revolt and Círan disliking that he is a foreigner from a nation he despised.

(Zerin's Full Story)

Declaration of War
Yimmu-Audal now under the rule of one of Círan's friends Trevor Dynami was declared war by V0idf1sh & the nation of Charm. This would change the center of the world forever and was a huge turning point for Theiónikos. Theiónikos at the time of the conflict held one third of YA's land and was the most rich & powerful member within it, but they didn't like Yimmu-Audal and its faith of Hukar-Sharud. Charm tried multiple times to get Círan to leave YA, what was peaceful talks later turned into threatening over Círan's most prized asset, Market55 the biggest market in the world. Although Círan didn't like YA, his ego didn't allow him to subdue to threats, his plan was to defeat Charm because of their ever growing power and threat to Círan's surroundings. He would rather have a weak YA in the south than a huge & powerful Charm. After the war he would leave YA, and begin to finally begin building Theiónikos as a sprawling desert nation at the center of Rathnir not needing to kneel down to the Audalad and finally returning to their past glory.

Battle of Rhodia
Theiónikos supplied most gear for Yimmu-Audal & Círan'dir attended personally with his newly forged Cirdridi Cri (Sword) and armor. V0idfish sailed his forces to the town of Lestria and prepared to attack Rhodia from the south & west. Círan & his forces held the attackers from the south later heading to the west to help, the Audalad forces emerged victorious Círan playing a MAJOR role in this victory and without him the battle would of been a total defeat and destruction of the audalad forces. This war proved to the world the might of Círan & Theiónikos. But unfortunately in the second battle it was only Círan and his men against the entirety of Charm's forces and they had to retreat, Círan narrowly escaping death. Rhodia might have been lost but the war ended as a net positive for Theiónikos. Charm signed peace with YA with minimal setback because Charm used a lot of resources for the conflict.

"Time of a new Dawn"                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                               ―Círan'dir —

After peace was achieved Círan declared independence from YA and the other states followed suit. This was a historic moment Theiónikos hasn't been independent for generations and it finally achieved it so. Theiónikos went from a poor desolate desert, to a rich & powerful estate. Círan held a party with his people after the events.

Weapons & Equipment
Círan has used many weapons in his time of his martial training, at home in Ayesinco his dad gifted him a wooden sword, a Yia which he has lost and there is no imagery of it anywhere.

When his father sent him to the military in Ves-Naissus, he was given his first proper weapon a Undi, which was a long steel blade with a double sharp edge. He used it a lot in old missions under Romanus Eggus Galus.

When he developed his skills more & more he forged his own weapon in the forgery in Ayesinco his home town. Using the best & most expensive steel in the area, its equiped with a curved hilt and double sharped edges this weapon design was later called a Cri named after Círan himself. In battle he uses both of his weapons his Cri as his main one and his Undi as a blocker & secondary one.
