Biography
Atlas-Era
With-in 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 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 on this new influx of Snow Elves seeking happy times and good food & drink, with the reintroduction of the Fennic Iced-tea by the fennic breweries, the local populace reminisce over a culturally rooted beverage of shredded ice and 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 and 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. Many similar victories and celebrations would continue into the future resulting in a new-found boom in diplomatic outreach from the nations and 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.
