Randolph Haller, known as the greatest historian of the Bourbon Sea since the Dors Doctor, is a very prolific writer whose representative works include "Bourbon Historiography", "Bourbon Chronicle", "Farida's Travels", etc.

Although Randolph's work is generally considered to be inferior to Shudros's History of the Bourbon Naval Wars, his contributions to the field of history far exceed that of Shudros.

Randolph's Halle family is an aristocratic family with a long history, which was once very glorious during the Bourbon Empire, and even produced several Bourbon consuls.

However, with the collapse of the Bourbon Empire, the Halle family also weakened, moved away from the ruined Boris in turmoil, and then threw the family power into the melee of the twenty-four consuls, as one of the twenty-four warlords, trying to dominate Bourbon with their own strength.

When the later Felison XIV returned to Bourbon with the support of Portlou, the Hallers appeared as the backboard villains in the Felison XIV saga and were then hanged and beaten. In the end, Felison XIV unified Bourbon, and although he forgave the Halle family for their disobedience, the Halle family was also greatly damaged in the defeated melee and did not regain its former prosperity.

After that, the Halle family was forced to move out of their original ancestral land, was resettled in Naira, and took root here, and with a series of coincidences, the Halle family gradually became the dignitaries of Nayla and became active in the political arena again, but compared to the former Halle family, the Halle family at this time can only be regarded as a second-rate family.

Naira was a very important city, and Naira was the most important point in guarding the Isthmus of Naira, and if you wanted to attack the old passage from Bourbon Island by land, Naira was the only way.

It's just that because of the well-developed navigation industry of the old channel, which allows the attackers to cross any river and invade the old channel, Naira is important, but it is not as important as Fleith is to Bhutoxi. Of course, even so, if you want to dominate the Bourbon, you still have to occupy Naira as much as possible.

Naira is a battleground and has changed hands many times throughout history:

In 1707, the Peace of Willis was ceded from Bourbon to the Muradwei in Pokon due to the "Willis War", and in 1784, the "Peace of Dumerio" was signed because of the "Second Bourbon Island War", which ceded the old Bourbon Channel from Muradwei of Pokang to Bourbon by ransom of the city.

In 1926, the Third Peace of Willis, signed during the Fourth Bourbon War, ceded the Old Channel from Bourbon to the Seaway of Siendor in Borris, and in 2126, as a result of the Third Peace of Orli, signed during the War of the Sea of Bourbon, the Seaway from Boursis to the Seaway of Bourbon.

However, for 500 years, regardless of who Naira belonged to, the Haller family remained in possession of Naira and was not shaken by outside forces. In the "Bourbon Naval War", after Xi Yuyou's rebellion went south, the Halle family bet on Xi Yuyou, and other noble families who were optimistic about Xi Yuyou helped Xi Yuyou persuade other nobles in the Xiuendo Channel.

Relying on the success of this speculation, the Halle family finally rose again, on the one hand, it occupied a place in the autonomous Shuendo Passage represented by Naira, and on the other hand, because of the dragon's work, it was a deep friendship with Xi Yuyou's Chaanli Dynasty, which can be described as a spring breeze.

Randolph was born in this family in the year 2240 of the Great Calendar and is a member of the lineage. Randolph was weak in power since he was a child, but liked to use his status as a descendant to browse the library and browse history, so he got along well with the members of the various factions of the family.

When he was old, Randolph entered the Bhutoka Academy (the top college in the Xiuendo Channel) and went to Xi Yuyou College as an exchange student for 2 years. As a student, Randolph became more and more interested in historiography, and even before graduating, he began to write historical monographs.

Randolph's final thesis was to write a thesis (there are many options for a final topic in this world, ranging from writing a thesis to practice), and Randolph's graduation thesis, "On the Historiography of Bourbon", was unanimously favored by his tutors, who considered Randolph to be a gifted student.

This essay "On the Historiography of Bourbon" is regarded as the foreshadowing of "Bourbon Historiography" in Randolph's later masterpieces, but it is a pity that this treatise has now been lost, and only a few words can be found in "Bourbon Historiography".

It should be said that Randolph's time was not peaceful, and the "Fifth Bourbon War", which ended with the signing of the Second Peace of Boris 30 years before Randolph's birth (2210), did not bring peace to Bourbon, but buried the hidden danger of the "Sixth Bourbon War".

In the "Fifth Bourbon War", the two provinces of Bokon were ceded and the remaining two provinces fell into the sphere of influence of Poli in the north and Bourbon in the south, respectively, and the two countries were in constant conflict.

Two of the most dramatic "cross-border incidents" occurred in 2241, when Polly crossed the border into Bourbon's sphere of influence to capture a group of ancient Bourbon criminals who had committed crimes against the Polly diaspora, and the other in 2247, when Bourbon to the Bourbon sphere of influence imposed a tax on caravans relocated from his sphere of influence.

The accumulation of contradictions prompted the two countries to break out in the "Sixth Bourbon War" in 2251, and Pomosi joined the Bourbon camp in 2252 to declare war on Polly, when Randolph was 11 years old.

In addition to studying, Randolph's college years were a series of war reports from the outside world, and as a noble child, Randolph also signed up for the army vigorously after graduation.

According to Randolph in his book, he joined the army for the same reasons as Shudrus in the past, hoping to record the wars of his time, "although this war was far less on a scale than the great 'Bourbon Sea War', he was still a war worthy of being remembered by posterity."

As a son of an aristocracy, Randolph soon became an officer and began to lead a small army. However, Randolph's journey did not go well, and only two years later, in 2262, Randolph was attacked at a place known as Pisnorn (location unknown), and his team was routed, and Randolph was seriously injured and had to return home to recuperate.

This recuperation was two years of recuperation, and then Randolph did not go to war again, but was transferred to Boris to serve as a Bourbon ambassador to Boris under his uncle, and Randolph stayed in Boris for more than twenty years, so much so that he called Boris his second home in the book.

However, some of Randolph's critics later questioned this behavior and made a bitter sarcasm: "Perhaps it was the serious injury (referring to the events of 2262) that gave Randolph so much fear that he did not dare to return to his hometown, lest he be dragged to join the army again, so it was safer for the cowards to hide in his second homeland." ”

Regardless, Randolph went to Edonan to start his life, but even when he arrived on Edonan, Randolph did not forget his past vows, and continued to collect letters from his classmates and elders to learn about the ongoing "Sixth Bourbon War" and prepare for his future history books.

During his time on the Edonan Peninsula, Randolph gradually became interested in the local inhabitants, the West Bourbons, and the Bourbons from the same source but in a somewhat different way, which brought Randolph infinite interest, and Randolph often traveled north and south to observe the life of the West Bourbons in various places when he was working as a clerk.

It was in this observation that Randolph came to the idea of writing a book about the West Bourbons, but the events of his hometown in 2266 A.D. drew Randolph's interest to the past: the republicans of the Channel of the Huendo broke out in rebellion against Bourbon.

The so-called republicans refer to those factions in Bourbon (originally Borris) who sought to depose a certain family's hereditary right to the Sea King and restore the ancient republican system, which was originally formed by the great nobles who had been glorious in the old republic but were weakened by the rise of the Fermar dynasty, and they tried to overthrow the Fermar dynasty in the name of restoring the republic.

However, after more than 300 years, those old big nobles have long been lost with endless exile, and today's republicans are mainly composed of some small nobles who have been suppressed by the oligarchs to the point that there is no way out.

In the past, when Xi Yuyou rebelled against the Fermar Dynasty, he attracted many republicans to join, who saw Xi Yuyou as a hope to overthrow the Fermar Dynasty, and believed that Xi Yuyou, who was also born into a small noble, would definitely restore the republic. As a result, after Xi Yuyou expelled the Ferma Dynasty and established the Chaanli Dynasty, they were greatly disappointed.

However, because of the devastation of the "Bourbon Sea War", even the extreme republicans could not draw troops to continue the civil war, so the two sides could only compromise, and Xi Yuyou's solution was to throw all these republicans to the Xiuendo Channel, as one of the conditions for Bourbon to agree to the autonomy of the Xiuendo Channel.

Xi Yuyou's method is quite excellent, and this group of republicans has caused considerable trouble for the natives of the Xiu Enduo Channel, making the locals want to get rid of them quickly. And now, with the rebellion of the republicans, the localists can finally get their wish, and they can legally attack the republicans and let themselves dominate the Shuendo Channel.

As an aristocrat who grew up in the Passage of Shondor, Randolph had a good understanding of the republicans, and because of the rebellion of the republicans in the country, he aroused the interest of many West Bourbons, and the West Bourbon library contained many early historical records of the republicans, which brought Randolph a lot of convenience.

So Randolph spent 2 years researching and writing, and in 2268 he published his first book, "The Republican Past Examination".

After the publication of "The Past Examination of the Republicans" in Boris, this history book about the past history of the republicans who rebelled two years ago caused a local sensation, because the republicans were not only a trouble for the Chaanli Dynasty, but also closely related to the Fermar Dynasty, and the past two "wars of royal power" of the Fermar Dynasty were related to this group of republicans.

With the publication of "The Past Examination of the Republicans", Randolph also began to become famous, and some aristocrats hoped that the young and promising Randolph would continue to work hard and write more history books. But at this time, Randolph began to deviate from his childhood dream of becoming a historian, and due to the trend of Boris's "re-exploration", Randolph actually wanted to become a navigator and explorer.
