My Birthname was Fourth of Dawn, though I prefer to be called Maxilian Hainrigg or just Max. I grew up on First of the Sun some time after Roshar and Scadrial found our world. I grew up to become a Navigator in the schools of the home islands, but something inside me just couldn't live with the ways of the modern world. So I learned a lot by sailing to Paji, even being expelled from school and often in trouble because wormpaste was a very regulated substance in my times. I was always a very scholarly but also adventurous and due to my people's bond to the Grand Knell also ambitious. Thanks to a few friendships I made I enjoyed a second hand scholarly education from Silverlight. I was very poor so I only managed to visit there two times. The first time I offended a very important scholar in youthful naivety, the second time lastly I was on a gathering were we talked about the future of freedom in the Cosmere.
In the last ten standard years I ventured onto and between worlds. Instead of using my Navigator Art for a good living and purpose I did some advanced research of Navigation and the Arcanum often just by myself in the Emberdark. Though I managed to acquire a Rosharan Spanreed and a Scadrian Comm Device so I wasn't very lonely at all.
Currently I am building a new home for humanity on a world nobody knows about and nobody could ever locate, because I rigged a few systems so that me and my People from the Fourth Medium can keep I safe.
I was inspired by some of the stories of the Ghostbloods, but I have yet to find any text about them. Yet we from the Fourth are the opposite of Scadrian Supremacists. We measure mankind and care for it by Virtue, Reason and Ideals
Oh and we have established our own Research and Schooling institute: The Axion Academy with two main departments Applied Arts and Realmatic Research.
Our current pride and enjoy is our work and research on a arcane art that is independent of all shards and could be learned and used by everyone and anyone.
We call it: 'The Dance' (Real Talk: if you are interested message me!)
A fun fact about me: I wish I was Cephandrius Wit. Simply because he seemed to be a more funny and clever man than me.
