X (character)

x is a Human who was born in Orientum, a land to the far east of Kylorne. He was marooned on Kylorne at the age of 15 where he would be taken into a nation called Reliqua. Apon Kylorne's decay he would commit suicide and be taken through a rift created by Tancred the Magician. The rift would cause x's soul to be split into two and the two versions of x now reside in Rathnir and Eldham respectively.

Arrival to Kylorne
On November 2, 2022, x would be marooned on the shores of Leanntir. Not much is known about his life before Kylorne because he suffered from amnesia following his travel through the fog.

What is known is that he previously lived in an advanced nation called Orientum that is located beyond the fog to the east of Kylorne where he was a Traveller, a profession that he would continue through his time on Kylorne.

Life in Reliqua
After washing up on the Leanntiri shores he would follow a river until he reached the town of FateForge where he would meet the soon to be Second King of Reliqa, Moxarius Bloom. Moxarius would take in x as a Reliquan citizen and teach him the ways of Kylorne.

A month or two after x joined Reliqua a coup would begin. All of the Reliqan citizens had grown tired of their king (Cedric Emmon) doing nothing and leaving all the work to his hand (Moxarius Bloom). x would help the other citizens in the coup and Cedric would swiftly be banished from Reliqua and Moxarius would be declared the new King.

Following Cedrics banishment he would hire a group of goons who would repeatedly attack Reliqan Citys and individuals. This would include x who would be instrumental in forming the reliquan army to defend the city and would be made General after only a month of the army's formation. Eventualy, in a battle nicknamed "The battle of the bridge" the combined forces of The Ivory Order and The Reliquan Army would badly wound Cedric and his goons. Notably, x would get the first blood of this fight, stabbing Cedric in the back as he attempted to jump into the river and killing Chris, one of Cedrics closest and most loyal supporters. Ultimately, Cedric would be forced to sign a document formally forfeiting his right to the Reliqan throne and pledging that he would never be involved in a plot to overrule any King of Reliqua to come.

In the golden age of Reliqua x would spend the majority of his time interacting with other nations and making small builds in the city of Reliqua. His most notable build was a statue next to his house in commemoration of the men who died in the Reliquan Civil War.

At this time he would also become close friends with Sven Elder and the two would often go and pillage abandoned cities together for fun, sharing a passion of thievery and deception. The two would attend many events together such as the Reliquan Ball and the Araxys Event Series.

Reign of Sven Elder
At the end of Reliqua's age of expansion Moxarius would step down as King after his wife was assassinated and he felt he had done his duties and fresh blood was needed. The successor elected by the people would be none other than Sven Elder, a now an extremely close friend of x who acted as a father figure for x as Moxarus stepped away and into the shadows.

A common joke among reliquans would begin from Mox's absence, the joke consisted of the citizens pretending that Mox had died and whenever they spoke about him, they would refer to him as dead, therefore some records further along may refer to Mox as dead, when he is not actually.

In the reign of Sven he would greatly increase the number of citizens and expand the city into a bustling metropolis. In this time x would continue to bond with Sven over their shared interests and help him with diplomacy with other nations. This period would be the happiest period of x's life on Kylorne and he considers the memories he formed with Sven here like childhood memories with a father rather than with a friend.

Unfortunately, at Sven's wedding on the way to his honeymoon with his new wife, Sven would be assassinated by an assailant who had been killing kings left and right around Kylorne (the assailant was finally captured following his death). x would stay with Sven until the light left his eyes and would cry and mourn over the death for weeks. This event would damage x's mental state significantly but over time the new King Of Reliqua Voithontas would comfort x and help him worth through and process the death.

Fall of Kylorne
Voithontas's reign would be short and sweet and would last until the world of Kylorne started to decay and the fog started to close. Nothing of note happened in this time other than x's beginning to have suicidal thoughts.

When the decay of Kylorne became immanent, Voithontas left Reliqua with many other citizens and headed for safety leaving x behind to look after the city. At the same time Tancred, x's main source of mental support would disappear from the world of Kylorne to pursue otherworldly tasks. This would cause x's mental state to take a sharp turn for the worse and spiral out of control. He would spend his days tending to the graves of Mox and Sven and watching the sunsets from the top of Castle Royale.

Death and rebirth
On the May 28, 2023, x would take a turn for the worse and wright a suicide note and travel up to the Leanntiri headlands where he first washed up and watch one final sunset. "To whom it may concern, my name is x.

I'm a Reliquan child lost in a sea of death.

All the ones I love, lie dead and buried.

Mox, the one who nurtured me, Sven the one who cared for me, And Voitontas the one who comforted me.

I've watched the tide rise and fall, Kings die and lose it all, And worlds wilt and dawn.

I have nothing left.

Nobody to care for.

Nothing to live for.

Let this note be my final message.

I love you Kylorne."

Sword in hand, x watched the sun set on the horizon. Palms sweaty and breath heavy, he stood up and clasps the handle of his blade. He thrusted it deep inside his chest and fell to the ground as a pool of crimson blood surrounds his lifeless body. As his vision began to blur, he felt the weight beneath his body begin to loosen. “Is this what death feels like?” he whispered under his breath.

Suddenly, the ground opened up below him and he fell into a seemingly endless chasm. He reached his hand out and felt unfamiliar ground. He glanced down to see the blade that was one is his chest now lay sheathed by his side. His world was nowhere to be seen and he was no longer on the headland. “Welcome to Ratham” a familiar voice echoed out to him.

The Rift
Unbenounced to x at the time, the rift that had so mysteriously saved his life, had also given him a curse that could yet again cost him his life.

The rift he had fallen through was created by his close friend Tancred Of Mora, a Skilled Magician who had cast a powerful spell using Death Sigils taken from the fallen of Kylorne.

Unfortunately for x, the rifts were not intended to take living humans through, let alone one on the brink of death. So, to keep his mortal body alive, his soul was split into two and placed into the worlds of Eldham and Rathnir. The side effects of the splitting of his soul are currently unknown.

Arrival To Rathnir
On Rathnir, x awakens in a sloping valley with cliffs to either side of him. Dazed and confused, he opens his eyes and he is blinded by the glaring autumn sun. Moving his head to look around, x is startled to see a young man sitting beside him. “So you're finally awake, it looks like you have a lot of explaining to do” the man exclaims in a Soumerian accent.

Arrival To Eldham
On Eldham, x awakens in a desolate mesa with no civilization for miles. Coughing on the coarse, gravelly sand he is abruptly awakened by the scorching heats of the desert. *cough* “T- Tancred is that you?” x asks confused. Hap-hazardly wiping the razor like sand out of his eyes he looks around, nothing but the odd cacti and tumbleweed litter the horizon, he is alone.
