On the archipelago of Zidudi, surrounded by the vast expanse of the Wast Sea, sits the small kingdom of Abasia. Commanding the realm is Molotur III, the latest monarch from a long line of rulers, a cleric whose gaze is drawn more towards the heavens than matters of earthly concern.
An ancient prophecy, whispered through the lineage, settled heavily on Molotur from his earliest days. Born as the heir to Sekeri I, ruler of Abasia, Molotur has endorsed his divine decree, becoming a vessel for the greater plan of the God Enera. His demeanor often appears detached, yet beneath this icy exterior lie fervent beliefs. He remains convinced that life is an intricate tapestry woven by divine fingers, each thread twisted by Godly intent.
Profound childhood experiences largely shaped Molotur's faith. As a young prince, he witnessed a terrible storm decimate half their military fleet. This disaster left an indelible mark on his mind, convincing him of Enera's might, thus steering him towards a life of staunch spirituality.
His education, imparted by the learned advisors of the court, emphasized both arms and theology. Molotur trained with a javelin, his weapon of choice, its sleek form reminiscent of the Abasian fleet that commands the Wast Sea. Yet, the clerical lessons left deeper imprints on his character.
His marriage to Princess Rhene was more a political move than a union of hearts. Yet it bore fruit in the form of a radiant daughter, Ysara. Ysara is the apple of Molotur's eye, his love for her undiluted by his divine pursuits. However, the clout of her birth threatens to eclipse her father's focus.
Coming into power as ruler, Molotur III found his kingdom confronted with changing times. The Pelasian Empire, once a disorganized mass of nomadic tribes, is now amalgamating swiftly into a powerful force. Despite mounting pressure from his council to expand their naval power, Molotur remains impassive.
There are those who attribute this to a secret corroding his innards, a whisper entangled in his silver hair. Molotur's jovial jest at court often revolves around his secret fear of water, a mild reflection of his water-phobia tied to the childhood trauma of the storm.
This contradiction makes him a figure of paradox, a ruler with a naval fleet afraid of water, instilling distress among his advisors. Yet deep within, Molotur clings onto his faith. His life's credo is simple, all life events aligning according to Enera's will. Every laughter, every tear, a divine direction.
As a ruler, his manners are refined to blend benevolence with authority. His politics orbit around upkeeping the prosperity and safety of Abasia, but his passive nature has led to a stagnancy that frustrates his council.
