'''Irian Balewood''' (formerly ''Irianix'', often called '''Enty''') is an [[Elvenkind]] (''Ruul'yun'') figure from [[Ruulran]] whose life and condition are central to the modern history of [[Mundus]]. Once a young engineer-soldier in the [[Ruulran Royal Corps of Engineers]], Balewood vanished after an incident at a [[Dark Energy]] detection tower; in recent cycles he re-emerged, altered by [[Darkblight]], and became widely known as “Enty.” His recurring connection to world [[loops]] has made him a pivotal figure in the ongoing [[Dark Energy]] crisis.

As a teenager, he formally renounced the aristocratic suffix of ''-ix'' at a public ledger-stone ceremony, choosing to keep only the name his mother had given him: '''Irian'''. After leaving Ruulran's aristocratic system and becoming [[Na’vortha\|Na'vortha]], he adopted the simpler name '''Irian Balewood'''.

			In [[Directionland]] he is most commonly called '''Enty''', a nickname that arose when early witnesses, unsettled by his condition and white eyes, described him as a “dark entity,” a phrase later shortened in common speech.

	== Appearance and personality ==		== Appearance and personality ==
	Balewood is [[Elvenkind]], ~~soft-spoken and reserved. He is~~ typically described with ~~'''~~brown hair~~'''~~ and ~~'''white eyes''' (previously blue)~~, ~~a change attributed to~~ his affliction. ~~Accounts emphasize a gentle, loyal temperament despite~~ progressive symptoms of [[Darkblight]].		Balewood is [[Elvenkind]], typically described with light brown hair, elven ears, and a soft-spoken, reserved demeanor. After his affliction worsened, his speech and memory have periodically become fragmented.

			Despite progressive symptoms of [[Darkblight]], accounts consistently describe a gentle temperament, strong loyalty to those who show him care, and an instinct to place himself in danger if it spares others.

			== Family ==
			Known family includes:

			* Lord Ederix of House Balewood (father)
			* Lady Marianix (mother)
			* Helanix (brother)
			* Saelix (sister)

	== Early life and Ruulran background ==		== Early life and Ruulran background ==
	~~Letters attributed to Balewood recount an upbringing~~ in ~~'''~~[[Ruulran City]]~~'''~~ within ~~the aristocracy (''~~House Balewood''). ~~As a teenager he '''renounced his rank'''~~ and ~~privileges (becoming '''[[Na’vortha]])'''~~, ~~estranging his family; he worked as~~ a ~~blacksmith’s assistant~~, ~~then entered military engineering. By age 24 he had become a '''lieutenant engineer'''~~, ~~trained in bowcraft~~ and ~~carrying a personal sword he nicknamed '''[[Prickle]]'''~~.		Irian grew up in the Orren district of [[Ruulran City]], raised within House Balewood's aristocratic expectations. His father, Lord Ederix, emphasized governance, quotas, and ledger work, while Irian showed a stronger pull toward practical craft, the bow, and the quiet of the canal paths.

	== The tower incident, disappearance, and presumed death ==		His decision to renounce rank was not sudden, but it was final. In a witnessed declaration at the ledger-stone, he rejected the suffix of ''-ix'' and the privileges attached to it, accepting estrangement from his father's succession plans and leaving Helanix as heir.
	Ruulran military reports later unearthed by [[Valmin Thornvalley\|Valmin]] state that at ~~'''~~25 cycles~~'''~~ Balewood inspected an [[Energy Detection Tower]], ~~uncovered a~~ '''black mineral'~~'' at its base~~, ~~and—after touching it—was~~ thrown back and left ~~'''catatonic'''~~, ~~gasping for~~ breath. ~~His condition deteriorated;~~ he ~~ceased responding~~ to ~~stimuli~~, ~~then '''vanished from~~ his ~~hospital room'''~~ and was ~~'''~~declared dead~~''' months later~~.
			== The forge years ==
			After renouncing his title, Irian lived by manual work and became a blacksmith's assistant under Hadria, a forge-master known for practical discipline and blunt instruction. During this period he learned metalwork, tool maintenance, and the patience required for precision craft. He also forged an early personal blade that he later refined and carried, eventually naming his sword '''[[Prickle]]'''.

			== Ruulran Royal Corps of Engineers ==
			While working at the forge, Irian was approached and recruited into the [[Ruulran Royal Corps of Engineers]] by [[Tarrix Varxhill]], a [[Landling]] officer assembling a cohort for expansion of Ruulran's energy detection line. Irian proved unusually suited to the work: steady hands, quick learning, and the ability to keep calm in systems-driven environments.

			By age 24 he had become a lieutenant engineer. He retained his bowcraft training and carried Prickle as a personal weapon, in part from habit and in part due to the hazards surrounding tower maintenance work.

			== The Tower Nine incident, disappearance, and presumed death ==
			Ruulran military reports later unearthed by [[Valmin Thornvalley\|Valmin]] state that at 25 cycles Balewood inspected an [[Energy Detection Tower]] on the western line, often referred to in later accounts as '''Tower Nine'''. During an internal inspection, a black mineral was discovered embedded near the tower's coupling.

			Upon contact with the mineral, Irian was thrown back and left severely impaired: eyes whitening, breath failing, and cognition collapsing into a catatonic state. Under Tarrix's supervision he was evacuated to a clinic, where his condition fluctuated briefly before rapidly deteriorating. Quiet discussion among staff suggests that the feared diagnosis of [[Darkblight]] was considered.

			During a storm night, Irian escaped the clinic and vanished into the surrounding woods. He was later declared dead, and the incident was buried under limited official language.

	== A Mundus Reborn ==		== A Mundus Reborn ==
	~~Centuries~~ later ~~by some reckonings—but appearing no older than his mid-twenties—Balewood~~ resurfaced ~~around~~ [[Directionland]] ~~as '''“Enty~~.~~”'''~~ A [[Ruulden]] diary titled ''[[~~N’druvath~~ nai]]'' (~~“'''The~~ Darkness ~~Inside'''”~~)~~—linked~~ to ~~Balewood—describes~~ a creeping corruption after contact with the mineral, consistent with ~~'''~~[[Darkblight]]~~''', a process~~ now understood as ~~'''~~replacement of [[Light Energy]] with [[Dark Energy]]~~'''~~. ~~Enty’s eyes had turned white; his speech~~ and ~~memory were fragmented~~.		Although official records place the tower incident long before modern events, Irian later resurfaced in [[Directionland]] with no consistent explanation for the mismatch in time. He appeared physically unchanged in age but deeply altered in health, memory, and aura.

			A [[Ruulden]] diary titled ''[[N'druvath nai]]'' (“The Darkness Inside”) linked to Balewood describes a creeping corruption after contact with the mineral, consistent with [[Darkblight]] and now widely understood as the replacement of [[Light Energy]] with [[Dark Energy]].

			In events that remain partially unclear, Irian was discovered in the wilds by [[Tobbin Valeside\|Tobbin]] and [[Valmin Thornvalley\|Valmin]] during their flight from Ruulran. The pair brought him across the border using forged documentation, traveling through heightened security as Directionland grew increasingly tense in the lead up to crisis.

Scholarship by [[Tobbin Valeside\|Tobbin]] and [[Valmin Thornvalley\|Valmin]] holds that [[Mundus]] has fallen to [[Rathsern\|the Dark One]] many times; at the end of prior cycles Irian sacrifices himself, releasing Light Energy that resets the world.

			In the current cycle, Irian spent over a full cycle under the care of [[Grand Seer Carric]] and Brother Julian at the [[Grand Sanctum of St. Stylinson]], where his condition continued to worsen. Recently, fear and longing overtook him. He attempted to leave the Sanctum grounds, but was intercepted outside by [[Tarrix]], who had been watching from the shadows. Tarrix tried to convince Irian to stay, but Irian refused and departed.

	~~Recently,~~ Irian ~~has made mention of both [[Tarrix]] and a mysterious Tower 9—presumably recalling the event where he first encountered the black mineral~~.		Irian's current whereabouts are unknown.
