Limir Nuwi Character in Under an Iron Sky | World Anvil

Limir Nuwi

Rhis Nuwi (a.k.a. Limir)

Qaydith's priesthood likes to make you think that all tokens are enchanted. But the enchantments are so simple that they can be easily broken. It's the hexes that make the tokens tricky to work with. Some of them are never even enchanted in the first place.
Limir is the eccentric owner of the Dithracht Litha Driag, an inn Der Roch Schlullk Brasschwerch in Nyiltokti. Limir is well known for his love of dancing and caring nature to his staff. Treating them like family and weighing their word over any customers. Although Limir is an accomplished Entrepreneur with the most successful inn in the slums he didn't start that way.   Limir started out as a priest to the Driki god Qaydith, who is a god of lust and torture. His experience as one of Qaydith's priests gave him great insight into the "love" business when he decided to leave the god's service. Limir also figured out how to disenchant Qaydith Tokens, which were an item that was thought to be impossible to disenchant. Upon leaving the god he changed his name from Rhis to Limir.

Mental characteristics

Personal history

Childhood

I find it odd that parents seem to have their children's future planned from the start. Then they try to guide their children down the planned path. Sometimes without giving the child a say. My father had grand plans for me.
-Limir
Limir was born in the temple of Qaydith in Dolwen. His father was a priest of Qaydith while his mother was a temple slave. Limir was given the name Rhis Nuwi and was allowed to be raised by his father. After he was winged he moved in with his father and never saw his mother again.   Limir, who was at the time just called Rhis, was forced to learn everything about Qaydith from a young age. He was forced to read Qaydith's holy book for two hours a day. He had to memorize it and quote whatever he read to his father before bed. If Rhis failed at this he would be beaten by his father.   In time Rhis began to wonder if this was all life had to offer. He became more and more curious about what was outside of the temple, and what other "normal" Dark Elves did. One day Rhis decided that he needed to know, so he climbed up over the temple wall. A slave saw him and turned Rhis back over to his father and the rest of the priesthood. Rhis was chained to his bed with a silver chain. These chains were not normal though since they were blessed or cursed with the Blessing of Qaydith. Until he was unchained Rhis suffered from terrible nightmares about monsters. Monsters that looked like the priests. When Rhis was released he silently vowed that that would be the last time.  

Teen Years

I learned much over the years in that horrible temple. But I didn't learn simple things. I was never taught about the sun, moon, and stars. I grew up inside surround by cave walls. The steel sky above us is a welcome change.
-Limir
Rhis began to learn more about the priesthood. He began to help with events and rites for the god. But since his mother was a slave girl to the temple Rhis was also bound to it. His duties as a priest in training included helping others in the worship of Qaydith. He was forced to do this by offering his body to any worshiper. He was also asked to dance for the entertainment of the worshipers.   It got to be a point where no one asked Rhis if he wanted to give his body away. It was expected and praised. Laying bare before worshiper after worshiper Rhis began to become numb to the pain. One night in his numbness with a worshiper of Qaydith passed out drunk next to him Rhis realized something. How he was treated since childhood wasn't love, it was pure torture.   There was nothing that Rhis could do at that moment. He was also cursed to never leave the temple until he became of age. Rhis had no choice but to wait until the nightmare would get better. It got worse and worse until the day came. The day he would be able to officially take his place as a priest of Qaydith, and maybe change things for the better.  

Priest Rhis of Qaydith

I was a priest of Qaydith. I'm not anymore. I can't be a priest and run a small business at the same time.
-Limir
For the first few years of Rhis' priesthood, he didn't do anything noteworthy. He wanted to earn the trust of the other priests and bide his time while he figured out what to do. The trust that he wanted was his when his father died. It was believed that someone had poisoned Rhis' father, but no one came forward. Justice was never sought and no one was punished. Rhis then rose to his father's position. Now Rhis had the power to do something about the temple.   The first thing that Rhis did was to make lifetime bans. He then enforced these bans by backstabbing the high priest and priestess of Qaydith. With them dead and a power vacuum in place, Rhis quickly killed all of his competition by poisoning them. With no one to stop him in Qaydith's temple and no other priests to challenge him Rhis was given the title High Priest of Qaydith by the High Priestess of the Followers of Shadow.   Rhis then started to ban worshipers who forced themselves on the temple slaves. Of course, some of Qaydith's worshipers didn't take the new high priest that seriously and continued doing what they wanted. Rhis dragged some of these worshipers outside of the temple and killed them. Other worshipers asked Rhis what they needed to do to earn his favor as well as the god's. Rhis told them that they could still worship in any way that they wanted, but the slave that they choose to do it with had to consent.   Rhis' rule was very different from centuries of tradition. Many worshipers were displeased and complained to the High Priestess of the Followers of Shadow. She elected to do nothing about the matter. She knew that the young high priest would have trouble and sorrow during the The Whispering Days. She decided to let his actions during this time decide his fate for her.   When the Whispering Day finally came the temple of Qaydith was filled with worshipers who decided not to follow Rhis' rules. Rhis was angered by this and disenchanted every Qaydith Token that was in the temple. Leaving the tokens as useless trinkets that had little to no value. Rhis ended the Whispering Days early and then freed every slave that the temple owned.   From now on worshipers would have to pay for the slaves' time. Part of the money would go to the temple, but the rest of it would go to the free slave. This practice went on for some time, and the temple started doing ever well with it. Things were looking up for Rhis. But Rhis still left trapped in the temple. He felt like a slave to his past and wanted to move on. He was ready to do so much more with his life.   He asked the different freed slaves if they would be willing to join him on an enterprise. Some of them agreed while others didn't. Rhis resigned from his post, becoming the first High Priest of Qaydith to do so, and then hopped through a portal with the freed slaves that wanted to go with him. After some time Rhis got word from the temple while he was living in Miyla had gone back to its old ways. But at least the slaves were being treated better. Greaved by this news Rhis changed his name to Limir. In order to avoid future contractions to the old temple.
