Alexander Novayen

Alexander Novayen (Sol 9, 123 A.C. - December 21, 226 A.C.) was the most important explorer in the world, discovering most of the Far North.

Life
Novayen was born to Amilya and Tomask Novayen in 123 A.C. His family was extremely poor and his father was a sailor in the Ostish Royal Navy.

When he was 19, he joined the ORN during the Telstish Rebellion of 140 A.C. against the Telstic rebels on Mekéya Island. After the captain of their ship died, he navigated it to safety. Tsar Yevon III was so impressed, he made him captain of 3 ships: Rentya, Kentya, and Hentya.

In 156, at the age of 33, Tsar Yevon III sent him on an expedition with his 3 ships to map the northern part of the Greatland Isle, or the Héanaléya Island. He also mapped the coast above the island, which he referred to as the Hyusisón Stan (Northern Land). He also mapped the Novayen Coast (before it flooded and became the Novayen Archipelago) in 160. He returned to Vishapsfort (Dragonsfort Dragon's Fort) in 163, where he was sent to map the eastern side of the Far North. He left Eshthap in 170 and mapped all of the Gulf of Eshtia and Hast Island (the island was discovered by Yames Hest/Hast in 122 but never mapped).
