Glaciator Marum

Glaciator Marum is the title used by the Vidyadhara High Elder of the Xianzhou Fanghu, successor of the Scaled Dragon, Tamer of the Ebbing Frost, and is tasked with watching over the Miniature Myriads.

Unlike the High Elders of other Xianzhou ships, who are limited to governing over Vidyadhara affairs, on the Fanghu the Glaciator Marum governs all citizens, and the Six Charioteers and Six Commissions support the High Elder.

It is because of their influence that the Pearlkeepers aboard the Fanghu formed an elite force that have basically replaced the role of the Cloud Knights there.^[1]

History

In the Year 4800 Star Calendar, the five lineages of the Vidyadhara made an alliance on the Yuque, putting their sacred vow into writing: "This oath shall remain unbroken, standing stronger than even earth and steel."^[2] Glaciator Marum signed the covenant with the Xianzhou Alliance on behalf of the Vidyadhara, and the five High Elders were bound to keep watch over the respective plaguemarks of each Xianzhou ship. Glaciator Marum was bound to watch over the Miniature Myriads on the Fanghu.^[3] As a reward, the Alliance granted the Vidyadhara the Xianzhou Fanghu to rule as an autonomous ship.^[4]

The Glaciator Marum was once supported by the Pearlkeeper Liu Hua for the first three hundred years of his life, who also became the head healer that closely served her for the last four hundred years of his life. Liu Hua later became known as a medical scientist and his Medical Compendium became the foundation of the Xianzhou Alliance's modern medicine.^[5]

After the Sedition of Imbibitor Lunae in the Year 7379 Star Calendar, a Preceptor of Glaciator Marum advised her to unleash her wrath and impose punishment on his peers who instructed the sedition on the Xianzhou Luofu. In response, she coldly told him "In that case, how about I send you to read out the sentence? Just you. Alone." The Preceptor was effectively banished to the Luofu.^[6]

On the year 8072 Star Calendar, during the Third Abundance War, the Yaoqing and Fanghu alerted the Luofu about the assembly of the Denizens of Abundance, the revival of Ketu Mirage; the roaming star and their attack on the Fanghu. The Luofu dispatched four brigades of Cloud Knights to help them fight but they were still facing defeat. The Reignbow Arbiter then descended onto the battlefield and annihilated the borisins' fleet using THEIR Lux Arrow, and nearly one-fifth of the Xianzhou Fanghu's delves were destroyed by the Lux Arrow's bombardment.^[7]

Ever since the Third Abundance War, the Fanghu had adopted self-preservation policies to recuperate. As a result, they had had cut off most of their regular communications and trade with the other Xianzhou ships, a decision from the Glaciator Marum, implicitly stemming from the Vidyadhara's inability to produce offspring.^[8] After the new travel policy was put into place, the ship opened up to visitors once more.^[9]
