About

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.

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.

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

Tall and lean, with sharp eyes and sharper instincts

Skilled in languages, ancient texts, and magical theory

Always seems like he knows more than he’s saying

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

Rumors

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.

A Mundus Reborn

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 Energythat nearly killed Tobbin and several others.

 == 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.

-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.

-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.”

-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.”
