Arhim Metorm

The Journals of Metorm, which bear his name, were written after the events of the Selenthion, inspired by the journals of Arhim's father. The entire story was written in one magnum opus called "Kha Selentikh" or "The Selenthion", but was later split into four stories. He later added a second act, "The Patration," to the collection, but the later acts were left for his heirs to complete.

Arhim was a central character in the story of Selenthion, witnessing everything from the discovery of the secret, the journey across Yanakhon, the Bonshac Rebellion, the Farlands, the treasure voyage, and the war for Yanakhon. Sagiron appointed him ("of course") Vice Merial of the Yonian States after the founding of Yanakhon.

During the first winter season, he began writing the Selenthikh (Sil. "A writing about the Selenthion"), gathering all the necessary information over the course of the next year, along with his work as chairman of the Paration.

Time before the Selenthion

Arhim was born in Yalisco, on the island of Yalipan, and ended up in the village of Akharrat after being expelled from two different Perillean universities due to his origins as a half-Yonian.
