Childhood
Born into the royal family of Ironhide, Ilya was the second heir to the throne of Thoriré after his brother Hielkuh Harold Ironhide (H.H.I.) in the old kingdom. He had to grow up with a distant father and without a mother. He was great with the blade to a level where at the age of 13 he was capable of holding his ground against a fully trained soldier. He used his skills to sneak out of the castle and explore the world at night, when his father was not home. On some occasions he was caught stealing. It was a simple life for a simple boy. But his life would take a turn. A plague hit the kingdom and General Dorim seized power over the human population. his father died to the plague leaving his brother to claim the throne at the age of 27. He was only 16.

The War for Thoriré
In the war for Thoriré, the dwarves were cornered and on the brink of total annihilation. H.H.I. commanded his younger brother to take the majority of people who were left and flee after some fighting, Ilya agreed and took a few guards and the refugees with him. Some of the soldiers that fled through the mountains would become essential for ‘The great Escape.’

The Long Travel
After a day of walking through the chasms and tunnels of the mountains. They found clear air at sunset. Everyone was exhausted and starving, so Ilya organized the people to make camp and hunt for food. They stayed for a few days and learned about the survival of Hielkuh Harold Ironhide. Ilya formed a group of people to plot to set Hielkuh free. He sent the team out and stayed with the citizens. While the people were at their weakest, the camp got raided by bandits. Ilya came to their defense and fought the bandits one by one. After a few of them were killed, they retreated back into the forest. This act of heroism was celebrated by the people, but many gathered supplies were stolen or destroyed. It was at this moment that Ilya decided to wait for the soldiers to return from their mission and supply until that moment comes.

After 2 weeks of survival in the densely packed forest, the camp had got bigger and defendable. The people were relatively safe, but were facing constant harassment from bandits. People started to think that the king didn’t survive, and the longer they waited, the more it felt like a reality. But when the thought of his death was the only think he could think of, Hielkuh arrived, bruised and scarred. Only half the soldiers that went to save Hielkuh made it back.

Later they would split again to prevent being caught by General Dorim, and only years after they would see each other again.
