Lapu-Lapu

Lapu-Lapu lives with other Doricans on the Vonetis Islands, living a life outside of worldly strife. But the arrival of a warlord who had defected from the Moniyan Empire broke this silence brought about endless killing. Lapu-Lapu gathered all the tribes together to fight back against the warlord's invasion and finally won, turning the Vonetis Islands into a paradise of freedom again. From up on the peak, Lapu-Lapu looked down at the flames of the Moniyan camp at the foot of the mountain. He never thought he would once again step on to a battlefield, the kind of place he hated the most. But he knew that in order to protect that which was most important, he could no longer run away. As early as the middle of the Era of Strife, the Dorik people came to the Vonetis Islands to the southeast of the mainland where they thrived. Just as turbulent waves are the normal state of the sea, this lonely archipelago was by no means peaceful. The protection of the sea and the isolated lifestyle made the Dorik forget the vows made by the various tribes hundreds of years prior to join forces and resist the powerful Moniyan navy and there was constant conflict between tribes large and small. Lapu-Lapu was the most famous warrior of the Vonetis Islands. He was employed by various tribes over a long period of time, passing between the islands. The endless battles brought him weariness, dignity, honor, and money... On the battlefield, human lives were worthless. So[,] what was the value in it all? Having fought countless wars, he returned to his hometown with his scarred body and mind. Lapu-Lapu lived a quiet life in his hometown like an ordinary hunter, working at sunrise and resting at sunset. But the peaceful life he was looking forward to did not last. Some warlords who had defected from the Moniyan Empire set their sights on this free land. Well-trained troops landed on the Vonetis Islands like tidal waves. The scattered Dorik peoples were powerless to resist, and vast swathes of land fell into enemy hands. Various tribes sent invitations to Lapu-Lapu, hoping that he could join their camp. He was no longer willing to work for the interests of the tribal leaders, but there was no way he could become a despicable capitulator, so he rejected the persuasions of the leaders and the Moniyans, and just wanted to remain a simple hunter aloof from any worldly strife. Lapu-Lapu and the Moniyans made a non-aggression agreement. However, in the eyes of the greedy Moniyans, there was no such thing as neutrality and everything in the Vonetis Islands was theirs for the taking. Soon, the Moniyans broke the agreement and ransacked Lapu-Lapu's tribe while he was out. The humiliating loss brought only tears from his wife and children and a devastated home. Lapu-Lapu was incensed. He wanted no more than to protect everything around him. If the Moniyans were going to repay his compromises with perfidy, he would make them see his inviolable dignity in the form of their own blood. Lapu
