Valmin Thornvalley: Difference between revisions

== About ==

~~Fighty, brash, and always willing to speak her~~ mind~~, Window embodies~~ the ~~many traits of one raised~~ in ~~the eastern frontier~~. ~~Better known as Lady Governor Win of [[Fort Shagogbot]]~~, ~~she was appointed~~ to the ~~role by the Emperor~~ when ~~the outpost was upgraded~~ to ~~a Duchy. Her family has been in Fort Shagogbot for generations — carving out a foothold in the harsh land since the Fort’s inception~~.

Valmin is a [[Ruul'yun]] scholar with a mind as sharp as the daggers he keeps hidden in his coat. Quiet, observant, and deeply analytical, he tends to watch the room before speaking—and when he does speak, it’s usually worth listening to.

~~Despite her sometimes seemingly rough exterior~~ and the ~~iron fist~~ with ~~which she runs the city~~, ~~Win has a deep love for the people of Shagogbot~~, ~~often going to great lengths to ensure the city’s safety~~ and ~~prosperity~~. ~~Governor Win is also known~~ to ~~be generous — sending aid to other cities in Directionland when in need. Win has a keen interest in politics~~, ~~though her emotions can occasionally get in the way~~.

He’s spent much of his life studying ancient writings, magical anomalies, and the strange, shifting forces that shape Mundus. Unlike others who theorize from afar, Valmin goes where the trouble is—often with charts, books, and a blade in hand. He’s not the type to waste time on small talk, but those who earn his trust say he’s surprisingly thoughtful, even gentle.

~~Win~~ has ~~been~~ a ~~long~~-~~time member of~~ the [[~~Defenders of Mundus~~]], ~~always willing to step in and help in~~ a ~~fight. She’s also close friends with her city’s MP,~~ [[~~Lukas Battlan~~]]~~, often sending letters back and forth~~ to ~~apprise him of the goings-on in the world~~. ~~Some joke they’re~~ a ~~little ''more'' than friends~~, ~~especially with the frequency she sends letters~~ and ~~gifts, but Win often denies such things, teasing~~ the ~~relationship as “professionally platonic~~.”

Valmin has little patience for nonsense and even less for recklessness. He’s methodical to a fault, and it’s not uncommon for him to stop mid-journey to recheck a calculation. Still, behind the cold logic is someone carrying more than he shares—his silences aren’t just habit; they’re protection.

He rarely travels without [[Tobbin Valeside]], a bright-eyed [[Landling]] who seems to be his complete opposite. The two have a quiet but undeniable closeness, and Tobbin is one of the few people who can get Valmin to smile without realizing it.

== Notable Traits ==

* ~~Often seen surveying Fort Shagogbot from her perch atop the redoubt~~

* Tall and lean, with sharp eyes and sharper instincts

* ~~Wields the sister sword (Shagogbot Savior) to a certain MP’s sword~~

* Skilled in languages, ancient texts, and magical theory

* ~~Enjoys baking the Fort’s specialty: Shagogbot cookies~~

* Always seems like he knows more than he’s saying

* ~~Once raced the entirety~~ of ~~Ironwood to Fort Shagogbot on horseback to see how long it’d take “for fun”~~

* Deeply protective of Tobbin, though he’d never say it outright

== Rumors ==

Some say ~~you can hear Win’s voice crying on the wind when~~ a ~~door is left open anywhere in Directionland: ''“Close the doors!”'' She may also be aware of some~~ of ~~Directionland’s previous “pasts~~.”

Some say Valmin once spent three whole cycles underground, mapping ancient ruins no one else dared to enter. Others say he has a map of Mundus with places marked that don’t exist—yet.

== Loopbreaker ==

Valmin and Tobbin are currently working on a portal that would allow them to travel back in time, alongside their familiar, [[Rixim]]. Valmin and Tobbin's relationship appears to be deepening, after a recent rift attack on [[Kingsvalley]] led to a surge in [[Dark Energy]]<nowiki/>that nearly killed Tobbin and several others.
