Early Life/Origin
Hydronis Exul Monarcha hails from a completely different dimension to that of Rathnir and Eldham. Hydronis Exul Monarcha was originally born in the Kotoron Empire, an empire that had stood strong for over 200,000 years. Hydronis Exul Monarcha is a part of the Miraluka, a near-human race who are born blind but have an innate ability to perceive the reality around them on a higher plane than other beings along with being gifted with extrasensory abilities. He was born as Hydronis to Emperor Tacivius into the imperial family and was promised to ascend to the Kotoron throne upon his father's death. He grew up with many luxuries being in the imperial family, learnt quickly how to utilize a bow and arrow to its maximum potential, took an interest in politics, and learnt how to build enormous, intricately designed builds in a fraction of the time it would take for anyone else to build. Upon his father's death, Hydronis ascended to the Kotoron throne and was named Emperor Hydronis. He was known to be a strong leader who lead the Kotoron Empire to many victories against rival empires and was a master strategist when it came to warfare.

Exiled From the Kotoron Empire
Emperor Hydronis led the Kotoron Empire headfirst into a bloody and extremely violent war against the neighbouring Trontis Empire. With casualties in the hundreds of millions the Emperor of the Trontis Empire signed the Treaty of Sicarious after being forced by Emperor Hydronis who threatened to burn the Trontis Empire to the ground and kill everyone who lived there. As Emperor Hydronis stood before the graves of the millions of Kotoronites who made the ultimate sacrifice, he could feel the weight of all the spirits who now wandered the mass grave and it was too much. He took it upon himself to find out what was causing these endless wars and to stop it so that he could prevent further unnecessary deaths from these horrific wars. This lead him to research about his ancestor, Kreiyus, who ruled the empire 700 years before Hydronis ascended to the throne. Emperor Hydronis began learning about Kreiyus' teachings about the higher power known as the Vydis and how it was responsible for the endless wars the Kotoron Empire found itself fighting. He learnt of his ancestor's fate for teaching his views and how he was exiled to the uncharted wilderness and never returned. Knowing this, Emperor Hydronis had to research about his ancestor in secret. However, civilians would eventually come to know about what Emperor Hydronis was doing and this led to discontent as the civilians thought that Emperor Hydronis was leaning further away from leading an empire and more towards learning about magical energy fields. The discontent lead to protests calling for the Emperor to return to leading the Empire. One such protest took place in front of the Kotoron Imperial Palace which quickly turned violent after protestors got into altercations with the Kotoron Imperial Army who were protecting the palace at the time. When the Emperor heard of the altercations, he gave full authority to the Kotoron Imperial Army to open fire and a slaughter of 60,000 protestors took place under the direct order of Emperor Hydronis. This however, wasn't over for the Emperor. The Kotoron Imperial Army remembered that the same thing happened to Kreiyus because his leadership was becoming weak. The people protested because the Emperor's were turning away from leadership. As the soldier remembered, they decided they could not let it happen again. They turned against Emperor Hydronis and began to storm the palace looking to kill him. Emperor Hydronis, using his extrasensory abilities knew that his life was now in danger. He quickly packed all of his books and knowledge about Kreiyus and fled the palace, running towards the uncharted wilderness where Kreiyus once walked. As he turned around to see if anyone saw him, he saw the Kotoron Banner that flew for over 200,000 years over the palace be taken down and replaced by the flag of the Kotoron Republic. Filled with hatred that his empire had fallen and that he was no longer emperor, the man now known simply as Hydronis, swore upon his own life that he would one day return to the Kotoron Empire and retake his rightful place as Emperor even if it meant killing everyone in the empire, and that he would give those who dethroned him a fate worse than death. With only the knowledge of Kreiyus,  Percussio Exilli , and the  Saber of Atris,  a blade that was gifted to him by his long-term friend, Atris, Hydronis then wandered for 44 years through the uncharted wilderness to find the Masuchi race that was rumored to have been where Kreiyus met his demise.

The Masuchi Massacre and establishment of The Kreiyus Order
After wandering for 44 years, Hydronis found the Masuchi civilization and began sneaking around their settlement for 2 days as he didn't know if they were a threat or not. He came across a cave lined with torches the burned a brazen blue and he could feel the power of the Vydis over him slipping away as he entered the cave. After travelling for 2 hours in the cave, he came across a large chamber with a heavy stone sarcophagus in the middle of the room. Standing beside the sarcophagus were 2 Masuchi guardians. They let out blood chilling screams that alerted the other Masuchi to the cave and lunged at Hydronis. In reaction, Hydronis executed both of them using the  Saber of Atris  and pushed open the sarcophagus to reveal the remains of Kreiyus clutching his own book, the Book Of Kreiyus. Hydronis removed the book and ran for the exit of the cave to find it blocked off by Masuchi warriors who began attacking him. Hydronis killed another 7 of them before he was killed at the hands of a Masuchi warrior. However, when this happened, Hydronis' mind split in two pieces. One piece found satisfaction in the wholesome and happy life that Hydronis lived and wanted to die to experience the afterlife. However, the other piece was fuelled entirely by Hydronis' hatred for those who dethroned him and his thirst for vengeance to give them a fate worse than death itself. This side of his mind refused to allow his physical body to die. To the absolute horror of the Masuchi, Hydronis simply rose from the ground, grabbed the Masuchi warrior who killed him by his throat, and crushed it with his bear hand. As the Masuchi ran from Hydronis, he rained arrows from behind, killing countless Masuchi out of pure hatred. Not even the women and children were safe from his slaughter. After the Masuchi perished at the hand of Hydronis, he felt as if he was free to make his own decisions. He was now free from the control of the Vydis which was exactly what his ancestor, Kreiyus, was teaching. Hydronis read through the Book Of Kreiyus and after reading a prophecy that stated that one of Kreiyus' descendants would destroy the Vydis and free every living thing from it, Hydronis realized that he was Kreiyus' ancestor that was spoken of in the book. It was from this moment onwards, The Exile left the name Hydronis in the past, and wore the mantle of The Exile.

Arrival to Cuslandia
The Exile then wandered further and further into the uncharted wilderness until he began crossing the inter-dimensional void that separated the two dimensions from each other. After the 200 year crossing, The Exile found himself in Alamayn, Northern Rathnir, in a town known as Cuslandia, ruled by Cusless. He came across a group of people, Lucius, Iceklyabsol, and Dungalo who had pure intentions. With nothing to lose, The Exile joined them and began making themselves comfortable in Cuslandia. This happened near the end of October 2021.

Arrival to Taeharel
Being dissatisfied with Cusless' rule over Cuslandia, Lucius convinced The Exile to move with him to Taeharel as he could see how Cuslandia was wanting to declare independance and would suffer terribly from that decision. The first thing The Exile saw was the potential for Taeharel and immediately began building and showing off his amazing building skills by constructing the walls and towers of Taeharel with Lucius to prepare for a potential war. The Exile made a name for himself in Taeharel and became a noble in the city along with being the biggest producer of food after he constructed a large farm. Most of The Exile's development was in Taeharel.

Development of Wintergard
Lucius invited The Exile to help in the construction of a fortress that would serve as a safe place for the Alamayn Elite to store valuables and to simply live after Taeharel began developing issues concerning infrastructure and buildings. The Exile gladly accepted and built the main keep of the fortress along with the hall where the Elites would gather and converse. Once he had furnished his tower, The Exile began intense mining trips to gather enough money to enchant his weapons and armor to protect himself while also enchanting his tools in preparation for the construction of The Kreiyus Temple where The Kreiyus Order would reside and conduct rituals that would strip newcomers of their connection to the Vydis. In the process of attaining the tools required to build The Kreiyus Temple, The Exile began developing an interest in trading and merchantry and founded the city of Port Silver.

Development of Port Silver
The Exile began developing an interest in trading and merchantry and drove him to establish Port Silver, a trading hub north of the Wintergard Fortress. Over about 2-3 weeks, the port began taking shape and drew the attention of citizens who lived in the nearby Silver Citadel and former citizens of Taeharel who joined the port and began building shops approved by The Exile. While these shops were built, The Exile began the development of the Wintergard Merchant Navy (W.M.N) and built the W.M.N Monarch, the flagship of the Wintergard Merchant Navy and The Exile's personal ship that would conduct trading runs around the Helmian Sea. In reverence to the Kotoron Empire that he was exiled from, The Exile attached the Kotoron Banner that he kept after fleeing the palace to the highest mast of the W.M.N Monarch, where it would fly proudly once again. To him, nothing is more important than where he came from, which is why no other flag will never be placed above his own. As he attached it, he unlocked a dark part of his mind that held the memories of his old life. After several flashbacks, The Exile dragged his old name out of the depths of his forgotten memories and reclaimed it, now calling himself, Hydronis Exul Monarcha.

Development of The Kreiyus Temple
The Exile has laid out the dimensions and overall design of The Kreiyus Temple but lacks the materials and tools needed. The Exile is currently waiting on enchanting a silk touch pick with mending and looking for the optimal location to begin construction.

The Disappearance of The Exile
In the process of gathering the immense amount of resources to build The Kreiyus Temple, The Exile entered the mountains of Alamayn for unknown reasons although most speculate for meditation. The last anyone has seen of The Exile was him closing the door to the Wintergard Fortress. While in the mountains, The Exile fell into a trance which rendered him stuck in a state of suspended animation and has remained in that state since May 2022. Nobody has ever been able to find where he is int he mountains and it's predicted that he will never be able to break the trance he fell into.
