Archon Nyunkrepf Nyunkrepfsyn was one of the Twelve Archons, famed heroes who appeared on the eve of the Sixth Umbral Calamity to deliver the realm from the ravages of the coming deluge. A towering giant of a Roegadyn from beyond the Northern Wastes, Nyunkrepf foresaw the coming of the floods through astrology, and, unable to stand idly by, made the great ship known as Nyunkrepf's Hope out of wood, and set out upon a voyage for Eorzea with a crew of volunteer sailors. [1]


Along the way, Nyunkrepf's men rescued many souls set adrift on the seas. Yet, as they drew nearer to their goal, they spied a tidal wave bearing down upon them. Knowing his vessel would be torn to splinters by the force of the water, Nyunkrepf made a desperate decision. He cast a powerful and ancient magick over the ship, knowing not where they would arrive. Thus, the crew and many refugees aboard found themselves teleported away from certain death, and perched precariously atop Mount Yorn in the Peaks of Gyr Abania. [1]


Though those aboard Nyunkrepf's ship found momentary succor, they were not alone in the mountains. Many other refugees had fled to Abalathia's Spine with little more than the clothes upon their backs, and what little sustenance they brought quickly ran out. As their hunger grew, their civility fell away. They became little better than snarling savages, fighting and killing for what little food the peaks offered. [1]


From within his ship, Nyunkrepf watched with grief as precious lives were snuffed out by barbarism. Knowing those he had saved would die if they tarried in the region, he and his followers fled as soon as the rains had abated. He led them unto the Dravanian hinterlands, where they built a new ship. Though the seas remained rough and tossed them about, they nevertheless safely reached the isles in the northern seas. Having returned home, Nyunkrepf and the survivors set about building a small settlement. This humble village was to grow into the mighty city of Sharlayan. [1]


The citizens of the newly-named Sharlayan had pledged themselves to Nyunkrepf’s teachings: to forever renounce war and walk in the light of wisdom and reason. In his wisdom, Nyunkrepf saw that each citizen of Sharlayan be allowed a voice in matters of their community, establishing the Ecclesia, a precursor to the Forum. [1]
