History
As Lucius would tell the story, he didn't want to raise the next generation of Navaars on Beluaterra to send them to a Daimon slaughter. From there he would spend a year on a trading vessel assisting in the sailing, and acting as a mercenary guard when they docked before finally deciding to land in Tol Goldora to make his living.
Pre-nobility
Lucius spent about six years with the Blue Tower in Ren Madragas. During that time he was trained as an assassin, a spell caster, and to lead raiding parties. His specialty for a long time was monsters and the undead, but as the challenges grew easy, Lucius was asked to do more violent things such as going into Daimon Worshiping villages and making sure there were no survivors.
The first time he refused, Lucius' team were allowed to beat him into submission, covering his arms and legs with a myriad of scars that he still carries. By his third village, he had gone numb to what it was like to kill harmless women and children. It was here though, a child got a lucky chance and stabbed an arrow into his side. Lucius tries not to remember what he did to that child. Punishment for this failure was a one on one fight with an undead champion. Lucius was given no weapons. The creature got his back and left deep scars on him before Lucius realized what danger he was in.
In order to deal with his rebellious tendencies, the Blue Tower took it upon themselves to condition Lucius to respond to a title - Shadow Dancer - that would immediately trigger his assassin skills.
A year passed, more bodies piled up, and Lucius knew he was still killing. During a home visit, Lucius ran into an elderly pair of his uncles, Locke and Velden. The two of them had been conversing, and figured out a way to get Lucius out of the tower. If anyone could be saved, it was the one that still had a conscience. Soren was too deeply entrenched in their training, and Cayden had been missing for two years at this point. Unbeknownst to Lucius, Velden Calanar quietly passed on his Blessing of the Wind to Lucius, and Locke gave him a pair of short swords that belonged to his grandfather Ziode Calanar. That night, Locke created a disturbance using years of his grandfather's knowledge as a healer, and poisoned the Blue Tower guards around the Navaar estate.
Velden simply sent him to a ship, and told him to trust the wind and get away.
Riding the river current, Lucius used what little he knew of sailing to keep the boat steady, and let the wind carry him down to Jatto where he met up with a merchant crew, and signed on as an escort. Over the next year, he slowly blocked out the years before, replacing it with a more normal childhood and became a full member of the crew, traveling from place to place until he finally decided to set down roots in a realm called Tol Goldora.
Tol Goldora
Due to his carefree nature, and fear of being a responsible noble, he had a tendency to drink away his first few nights in his new home, wanting to push people away. From there, he would meet the Navarch, Solomon Greybrook and that set him on a bit more sober path. A local feast set him on a different path with Svari Storme, and Edelyn Luitolf.
Lucius seemed to befriend Svari out of sheer stubbornness, and that she took an interest in him, protective of him at first, treating him like a kid she needed to look out for. He demonstrated some knowledge of tactics after that first night they'd met, and he took a position on the Stratarch's (at the time her) council. They spent a few nights drinking and talking, and as she was protective of him, Lucius became fiercely protective of her as well. Her injury in their first raid of the war against Astrum triggered his behavior from his old killing days, and he drew Locke's short swords for the first time, permanently changing his fighting style.
During the aftermath, Lucius was swiftly made a Vice-Marshal, and as a Lordship position opened up, he became Earl of Demyansk, quickly rising in rank for a new noble. Attempting to repair his rough start with Edelyn, Lucius began asking his first questions about her faith while he learned the finer touches of leading the army at home. Meeitng with Edelyn, she confronted him on his knack for the wind, pressing his more than passing interest in the Galecallers of her faith. He tried to deny it, and the conversation was left to hang there. The rapid period of changes culminated in Tol Goldora's Election Night in which a bit of drinking and stubbornness resulted in a romantic relationship with Svari.
A letter to his brother brought three agents of the Blue Tower to Tol Goldora to bring him home.
The Astrum War
A sparring match gone wrong left Lucius forced to confront his past for the first time in over a year, filling in the gaps in his stories since coming to Tol Goldora. A lot felt like it went wrong in a short period afterwards. A love declaration not reciprocated, landing into a slaughter, watching the woman he loved think she should be hated by him. When a battle was lost and the realm escape plan left most of the army wounded, including Svari, something started to fray, and sent Lucius towards the Church of the Tidemother where he could study being a Galecaller. He needed something to believe in, something he lost hope in a long time ago.
The next months continued to be a blur of battle, drinking, and maintaining a growing love for Svari (who did return his feelings). Their lives together intertwined more and more, forcing each other to grow. Being a Marshal was starting to wear on Lucius, depriving him of needed sleep, something only alcohol and Svari seemed to grant him as memories of driving others to their deaths haunted his dreams when left alone. When he wasn't in battle, it was clear that Lucius was trying to find faith in the Tidemother, spending hours studying texts and prayers. He had the makings of a Galecaller if he could only convince himself to believe. Beyond the denial was a looming lack of faith in higher powers. Edelyn was working with him, but there was a definite resistance to her guidance, though after a rocky start they did become real friends by this point.
Dizeddo was the main foothold of Tol Goldora in their attempts at conquering Libidizedd. It was in defense of this region that Lucius was first injured enough to take him completely out of the fight, and it was here that Svari asked him to marry her (and abandon military life). The next attempt on Libidizedd would see it fall into Tol Goldora's hands once and for all.
Vestarch
As the war came to an end, Lucius decided if he must deal with the Navarch's actions he would help from within the government and successfully ran for Vestarch, upon which Tol Goldora became a true tyranny and the Navarch became the Autarch and consolidated power on himself after a referendum. This would lead to nearly a third of his term dealing with some new laws until Darren Rea created some trouble in the Zuma Coalition that brought the daimon Kettle to their doorstep during their victory celebrations. This resulted in several injuries, including the Autarch, Darren (who disappeared not long after), and Calypso Hwitt was taken as a hostage. Lucius set out as Vestarch to smooth things over with the Zuma and earned their respect. Unlike Solomon who was happy to acquiesce to their demands, Lucius stepped up and treated the Zuma leader, Kettle, as an equal.
Around the same time, Lucius and Edelyn Luitolf went on an adventure into the depths of Barrow Peaks, chasing a rumor left behind by Velden Calanar about an old temple. The pair had a similar taste in excursions and seemed to hit it off a bit more as they delved into the mountains of the region to discover an old Tidemother temple. Edelyn was given the Left Eye of the Goddess, a pale green orb like a ball of wind, and was entrusted with the temple. Later Velden would give her the keys to the region.
Autarch
One of the first things Lucius did after being elected Autarch was to marry Svari Storme, his long time lover. The ceremony was held in Golden Farrow and topped off with a tournament that saw nobles from all reaches of Dwilight.
Lucius' rise to power was built on changing things that Autarch Solomon had long imposed, and restoring some of the realm's meritocratic ways, and to free the realm from the bottleneck their expansion was trapped in. In a campaign where he turned the realm's focus inward, Tol Goldora expanded significantly to the surrounding regions, even throwing off the shackles of the Golden Farrow Accords by expanding to Grazne.
To the south, Lucius worked to earn the respect of the Zuma, gaining trust to the point that they were offered the opportunity to expand into lands once forbidden to them including the city of Echiur, Vakreno Heaps, and beyond.
The Autarch held no misgivings about his status as a ruler. He was young and mostly tested in a war that left him and his wife scarred, and while he instituted many changes and righted what he felt were several wrongs, in the end nobles left. He saw himself as a transitional ruler into the new ways of Tol Goldora.
Amidst everything, Lucius and Svari returned to Barrow Peaks together to visit Edelyn. Through a short adventure, the trio discovered the lost estate of the first lord and his many greenhouses that helped him grow numerous plants that never should exist on the cold mountain. As the trio explored, Lucius found himself kissing Edelyn, and with Svari's blessing the trio extended their families a little more.
As the realm struggled to maintain its holdings, the older nobles disagreed with Lucius' methods of rule, and the newer nobles did not think he had changed things enough to suit them. Older nobles filtered out and made holding the expanded lands difficult coupled with the distance between Tol Goldora's traditional holdings, it became a struggle to maintain some semblance of tradition with the burden of not trapping nobles in the west. Around this time, Svari gave birth to their first child, a daughter named Sylvi. Sylvi's birth gave Lucius a change in his outlook on life. Between her and Ede, his little family of himself and Svari he had so desperately wanted to protect grew and he suddenly found himself wanting to protect more than he ever thought he would.
Near the end of Lucius' 3rd term as Autarch this dissent came to a head as Lucius appealed to the realm to consolidate. Solomon Greybrook rallied a number of nobles to leave the realm. In an attempt to dissuade them, Lucius stepped down and challenged Solomon for the throne once more. In the end, Solomon never took up the challenge and the election was won by another young upstart noble, Haide Osoro.
