Editing Niers Astoragon (section)

==Background==
Niers was raised in a Fraerling village. Despite the many dangers to Fraerlings found in the outside world, he sought to leave the village, dreaming of adventure and glory. As a young boy, he would fantasize of rescuing a [King] or [Queen] from an [Assassin] with his cleverness and becoming the royal adviser of their kingdom.<ref name=":0" /> 

Niers became a [Strategist], as it was a class that was functional regardless of body size. In his first campaigns, he was able to clear a hornet's nest and push back a herd of boar. By the age of twenty, he was a higher-level [Strategist] than anyone else his age, at which point he left his village to join the Adventurer's Guild. Initially, he had a difficult time finding a team that would listen to him, and spent three years going from team to team. Eventually, he met [[Foliana]] and they joined a unnamed team that was starting out. They became known as World's Founding due to being a multi-species team. They were the largest adventuring team at the time, becoming Bronze-ranked within the month, and hitting Gold-rank the year afterwards. A decade later, they became Named Adventurers.<ref name=":1">[[Interlude – The Titan’s Question|Interlude - The Titan's Question]]</ref>  

Niers' home village was destroyed at some point, which he unintentionally caused.<ref>{{VERef|10.06}}</ref>  

Two decades prior, World's Founding and a disorganized army of soldiers were chased by Jungle Tails' army into the Labyrinth of Souls, a Named-rank dungeon. They were forced to go forward and explore the dungeon due to Jungle Tails' forces slaughtering them from behind, eventually reaching the final point of the dungeon, where they encountered Old Ones. After months of being presumed deceased, the remnants of the group emerged, now the Forgotten Wing Company, consisting of six adventurers, including Niers and Foliana, as well as four hundred [Veterans].<ref>{{VERef|Chapter 10.07}}</ref> The company quickly rose to prominence becoming one of the [[Four Great Companies]] by taking the mantle from [[Jungle Tails]]. His defeat of Jungle Tails was what let him reach Level 50.<ref>[https://wanderinginn.com/2023/04/16/interlude-levels/ Interlude - Levels]</ref> At some point, while looking for a cure for the Bloodpop Fever, he encountered [[Velan]] and the Goblin's Lament company. Impressed by the Goblin's calm and intelligent nature, he became friends with him, while the Goblin's Lament became allies of the Forgotten Wing.  

A decade ago, when [[Flos Reimarch|Flos]] launched his invasion from [[Chandrar]], he sent [[Queravia]] with an army to [[Baleros]]. Foreseeing the possibility that some of Baleros's companies could join her, Niers gathered every force within a thousand miles and marched on her. He was, however, outmatched by Queravia, thanks to her [Gambler] class, which gave her slightly better odds on the battlefield. She was able to gradually overcome Niers' army, forcing him to change tactics and launch an all-or-nothing attack on her forces to reach her command and kill her. However, before her death, Queravia cursed Niers with a [Gambler]'s curse. After defeating Queravia, Niers became known as the Titan.<ref name=":0" /><ref name=":1" />

Like most of Baleros, Niers was caught off-guard when Velan and his forces began rampaging across Baleros before setting sail to [[Izril]]. During the [[Second Antinium War]], Niers [Teleported] to Izril, taking control of the Human armies and forcing the [[Goblin Lords]] back. However, he refused to directly confront the Goblin King himself, knowing that he would tear apart any formations.  

At least a year ago, Niers rediscovered chess and introduced it to the world, claiming to have invented it.<ref name=":2">[[Interlude - 3]]</ref>
