)Aeroil said:I was born in south Anria, about fifteen miles east of Jhas, in a small unnamed farming community. My mother, Heelia Rieo, was a farmer, she owned the largest farm in the region, and was sort of the mayor of the community, or perhaps the elder, although she wasn't very old, she worked the farms since she was old enough to walk, just about, she did it all her life.
My father, Jalle Alonii was a miner who worked in the Siees mines in the Great Anrian range, or at least he was for the first half of his life. One day, working in a new shaft, someone blasted when they shouldn't have, he was caught in the collapse, he was lucky to live, but his left leg was lamed, so they let him go, gave him a good severence package, which he used to buy some land in nearby my mother's farm. The two ended up married, and from them I came.
They sent me off to school in Jhas, they wanted me to have a better job than them. I did well in school, never astoundingly well, but well enough to get myself into a secondary school. Of course, all my education was occuring during the War in Tollai Siena, during the first phases of the Nomari incursions, Tollai Siena fell fully about when I started my training, I was going into networking.
At this time, the Anrian church went through it's revamping as well, they cast out their spiritual beliefs, forming a strict philosophical set of tenents, they siezed control of the chaotic government that had been thrown in to disorder from the ascending, they saved Amaria where Tollai Siena failed.
I Never gave much thought to joining the Church's army, but when the Nomari declared war on the Church, and landed an attack force in South Anria, I had to do something. I joined the army right away, and started training to become a Naxtu Rider. Of course, training to become a Naxtu rider takes about three years, and those three years I spent near Alca, while the Nomari advanced in Anria, and started attacking Acca too. The Church Military was very disorganized at first, they had replaced almost all the administration, removing all the corrupt officials. After my training completed, I started fighting against the Nomari invaders, who now were advancing quickly through our great continent of Amaria, and who had siezed half of it. The only reason they hadn't taken all of Amaria was the fact that the highlands of Alca were nearly impossible to attack, and we defended it fiercely. Still, we still were pushed back, and I survived many a battle, with many close calls too. Soon I was promoted to Bishop, and given a command of Naxtu riders of my own, The Silver Lances.
When the Attack on Sakai commenced, followed by the Ai islands slaughter, our Generals last ditch attempt to turn the tides, I stayed back in Alca. After the success of the Ai islands slaughter, we started pushing the weakened Nomari forces back, and I was on the western front, pushing them back towards Acca. We succeeded easily enough, the Nomari lost their leader, and over half their forces.
Once we pushed the Nomari back to the last defencible line in Acca, they fortiified, and we besieged them for just over a year. Finally, once we broke their lines, we pushed them back to the ocean, finally, and I was reassigned to the barricades on the Great Anrian Range. I've been at this barricade for two weeks, and I'm writing this from my Office Computer. The Nomari have camped near our Barricade, and we're expecting an attack tomorrow, so I'd better wrap this up.
Wish me luck.
Bishop Sernrol Alonii
