Biography

Atlas-Era

Within the lands of Atlas the Tundrak line flurished bringing a golden-age for their people. Leading the Snow Elves in all aspects from foreign diplomacy to war; the Tundraks brought prosparity & safety for their kin for generations. It was during this period that many had the luxury to think of settling down near into the future, yet with war always looming overhead and with the sudden immigration south-wards to Arcas the Tundraks would lead their people into yet another era and settle into a new capital.

Arcas-Era

The Arcas-era was one of safety for the Snow Elves, with no immediate threat the people continued to flurish as they settled into the city, during this time Aelthos Tundrak would have a series of children, one such child being Akkar Tundrak, he would go on to grow up in a tense period, during which his father had taken the icy-throne and had led the world into a war against the nation of Lyria. Aelthos had little time for his children and with his mother Aroiia originating from a noble-warrior family; she would also become preoccupied with the war, resulting in Akkar regularly left on his own in an independant childhood. After the Lyrian war, Aelthos Tundrak would fall sick after the loss of his wife, pass the burden of the crown to his son Aeldred Tundrak who would hold a very-brief reign before passing it to his now grown up and very-competant, head-strong brother Akkar Tundrak.

During the early times of Akkar's reign he would find himself with a plethora of national issues to address, with this in mind he called for the first ever blooodline summit, calling all the ancient families of the Snow Elves to meeting as well as many other prominant figures of the time, including his brother Vytrek Tundrak & sister Aillisa Tundrak. Many topics and concerns came to be addressed resulting in an official proclaimation in Akkar's name not long after the conclusion of the meeting itself.

It called for many reforms and revitalisation efforts, notabally;

- First, disolving the many wasteful guilds within the nation who had been siphoning resources & finanical support from the Fennic' vaults to stay afloat, yet contributing very little in return.

- Secondly, calling for the Fennic' army to fall under the direct control of the crown just like it had once been in the golden times of the past.

- Thirdly, he declared the redirect of people, resources & funds towards the reconstruction of many facilities, and the repair of an aging city infastructure.

- Fourthly, Akkar Tundrak declared that the Fennic Princedom would once again seek to return to its natural political roots ushering his people back into a thriving land, returned to its roots once again.

Over the many years a misconception grew that: with Aelthos Tundrak passing the crown to his son, the Princedom of Fenn was now somehow weak and an easier target, yet as many groups made & executed plans against the Princedom of Fenn, all attempts to travel to Fennic lands for plunder, only to be met at the border by the Fennic' Cavalry, headed by Grand Prince Akkar Tundrak, and at times also further bolstered by their neighbour Norland. Only once did an enemy force ever reach the capital, yet once again left helpless as at the first-sights of the city a sobering realisation washed over the attackers. The previous construction efforts declared by Akkar had drastically increased structural defense of the capital which completely prevented any force from taking even the outter-archway, not to mention the series of gates and walls propped up even further inside. The Fennic' army found it easily capable of exploiting these defenses and at one last decisive periodl to sally forth an obliterate the adversary in one foul swoop.

After the many battles, called forward many celebrations. The streets of the capital became filled each night as shops and businesses thrived upon this new influx of Snow Elves seeking happy times and good-food & drink, and with the reintroduction of the Fennic Iced-tea by the fennic breweries, the local populace reminisced over a culturally rooted beverage of shredded ice & mint. Now acredited with many hard-fought victories outside of the city, the reconstruction of the capital, the reformation of the military and the reintroduction of tradition & religion, it has found common-place umong recorded history to denote the reign of Akkar Tundrak as a period of absolute prosparity for the Snow Elven people, one soo despirately needed for the initially war-torn Princedom.

Many similar victories and celebrations would continue into the future resulting in a new-found boom in diplomatic out-reach from the other nations & settlements of Arcas, yet holding true to his neutral-stance, Akkar would go no further than non-aggression pacts, preventing any one nation from pushing the Princedom of Fenn back once again into a war. Yet privately, Akkar Tundrak would go on to invite many other nations in partaking in events and celebrations both formally in the citadel of the Capital and informally throughout the city itself with many individual accounts of the Prince going out of his way to ensure all were looked after and happy. These happy years would go on for most of his reign.

From the own records of the Grand Prince Akkar himself, he recounted the last year of his reign, he had been looking after his sickly Predecessor & father, Aelthos Tundrak, until time came where he recovered and was once again able to serve his people. Akkar Tundrak was finally able to hold full conversations with his father, a first in his whole life, as before then his father was too sick and prior to that, too busy with the war, over many conversations his father persuaded Akkar to take some time off after his more than thirty years of reigning, during which his father would briefly assume the throne and the crown once again for a year. Between the year of 1741 to 1742 Akkar Tundrak would spend much-needed time attending to his own person issues and mental fortitude, early in the year of 1741 he would embark on an expedition on the sea, taking his newly built Fennic Navy and seeking out new lands for his kin.

Not long after he had an Inferi invasion would strike and shatter his mountain city of the Snow Elves, only returning a year later with those he had set out on the expedition with, now presented with the horrible sights of a once-great nation. Returning to his boat the still-young Prince decided to scour the beaches, the seas and the land for any survivors. Over those many years at sea he would gather more people, eventually finding himself sailing towards unknown waters and towards the Almaris region where all those he once knew had fled.

Almaris-Era

The Prince, Akkar Tundrak first reached the lands of Almaris, spotting the first signs of civilization as his fleet of ships came across merchant and fishing vessels, they worked their way down the Western coast looking for any signs of Snow Elves yet to no avail. It would be during one harsh night that the seas and sky opened up in thunderous rage, almost emulating the emotions of the Prince, that scattered the Fennic fleet and ship-wrecked Akkar Tundrak on a beach alone. Initially waking by himself, covered in sea-weed and russounded by wreckage upon the beach, he'd come under attack from a small group of hostile forces, quickly acting and dispatching them he'd come across a dropped letter, decorated in the Tundrak seal and formally addressing the scattered Snow Elves. The letter was written & signed by his brother, Vytrek Tundrak, declaring the gathering point of all their people and the announcement of their intentions to go north to resettle. In Akkar's eyes Wyvrun, their god had planned this all and it was all fate to him, naturally he gathered what he could from the wreckage and went forth to the meeting point, neither addressing his own wounds nor caring much for the arduous walk ahead of him.

Passing by the new capital of the dwarves of Urguan, the Prince was welcomed by many who knew of him, some attempted to address his wounds yet the Prince remained stead-fast in his efforts to locate the place named his brothers letter and reaching there. Continuing on his journies he would see and meet many of those he had once sat across from in diplomacy and in celebration, informing them of the situation, one such party stepped forth insisting that they would inform the scattered Fennic' fleet of the meeting location. Eventually reaching the location, with the sight of countless Snow Elves gathered, and at the center of it all, in the middle of a frozen lake and stood upon the central-stone island was his brother, addressing their people and delivering hope once again. Akkar Tundrak, stepped forth himself, weak from his wounds and having walked the whole of the Almaris contenant, no one noticed him at first as crowds blocked the view, yet after finding himself upon the stone at the center of it all it was clear who had just arrived.

Akkar was recognised by both those who accompanied him to Almaris and those who he once knew from Arcas, his own brother was shocked to find him alive yet not well. He attempted to address the people and send them comforting words as his wounds bit at his conciousness and his body, eventually forcing his legs to cave under him as the Prince dropped. Now in regathered with his people and accepting his own mistake of abscence during invasion, he accepted and advocated for Vytrek Tundrak to take up the burden of the crown with Akkar by his side to help and assist in the refounding and rebuilding of the Princedom of Fenn.
