Kyrion is a Niedene warlord, born in Rathnir, who settled in Eldham in hopes of a more peaceful and prosperous life. Though his time in Eldham wasn't as peaceful as he hoped it would be. He holds a deep desire for revenge against his old leader, Forda, who caused the destruction of Jacksonville.

Kyrion is also, together with Axolotl, one of the founders of the Turtle Project.

A new home
After Kyrion arrived in the beautiful plains of Eldham he breathed the air he heard so much about at home. He travelled the mountains that could only be described by spikes of earth bridging into the heavens themselves, blisteringly hot deserts, fields of snow, vast grassy plains and harsh oceans. After much struggle and conflict during his time in Rathnir, he finally arrived at a land that promised peace. His hopes of becoming a successful merchant grew everyday as he trekked through the days and nights of a peaceful nomadic lifestyle. After a few months of a nomadic lifestyle he grew tired of having to live off of his wits. The greed he always had homed into his heart; After the Escharian Ascension he boarded a ship to Eldham in prospect of a new home but also wealth. He gave in to it all and searched all over Eldham for a small town which he could grow his business in. He searched for a residence of perfection to no avail till he came to Preyella. One particular town caught his attention, Jacksonville: Jacksonville was a small town that had been built barely any time ago, it was perfect for his business venture and had a small and welcoming community with no other competitors. When he finally came to the small town it had no more than a few houses, and the mayor, Forda, greeted him with a warm smile and showed Kyrion's designated plot of land and as it was, it brought a slight smile to his face.

The destruction of Jacksonville
Kyrion had become extremely joyous to hear from the mayor that Preyella had promised Jacksonville independence after the Preyllean-KWECean war because Preyella boasted they didn't need that small amount of land when they would have the entire empire of KWEC territory. Peace terms were settled the next day and although no one had lost or gained territory yet, a festival was still held to celebrate the upcoming independence of Jacksonville, fireworks, dances, and drinking commenced while games were held and work began on the flag of the upcoming nation. The next day Kyrion travelled out to mines again and all he had on his mind was tonight. The Preyllean Empress, Valérie, had told the citizens of the small town that tonight Preyella would officially declare the town's independence. When the afternoon rolled around Kyrion walked with his friend, Axolotl, back to the town all the while talking about the independence party. As the two trekked over the final mountain they stared over the mountain at Jacksonville.

What they saw shocked them, Jacksonville was smothered in a cloud of pitch black smoke, both of the two citizens sprinted over to their home, being separated in the process. Kyrion approached the small town, now engulfed in flames, as he did he heard screams echoing throughout the plains and loud iron boots stamping into the scorched earth. He peeked through the now ruined cobblestone wall to see a troop of soldiers storming the town, the group of soldiers came upon a citizen trying to escape the deathly march and one of them, who was carrying a large Preyllean banner, impaled the citizen, shouting at the few remaining citizens that these were the consequences of betraying the Preyellan Empire. At that moment it clicked for Kyrion, Preyella had accused Jacksonville of treason to not allow them independence and sent their brutes to crush the town of ever gaining independence. Kyrion fell to his knees, tears flooding his ash-soaked eyes. He trudged back to the mountain he came from with rage bristling throughout every cell in his being.

The Truth of Preyllea's plot
With nowhere to go, Kyrion fled south with a few other Jacksonville citizens, where he stumbled upon a newly made town named Glossau, at the time Trakai, built upon a small island in the northern region of Ravenguard. They were given a warm welcome and shelter when they arrived, and Kyrion quickly adapted to the new town and made friends with many of the town's citizens and its leaders. He soon became a Trakai guard and became more and more involved with the town's politics, swearing not to let something like Jacksonville to happen to the town.

Though everything seemed to be going well, his relationship with his old leader, Forda, had been slowly deteriorating until it finally crumbled when he found out everything the Preyllean soldiers, who destroyed their town, said was true, Forda betrayed Preyllea by ordering a hit on the empress only a few days before Jacksonville's independence and hid what had been happening between Preyllea and Jacksonville from his citizens. What little trust Kyrion still had for Forda had been broken and Kyrion felt betrayed, for all he had done for Jacksonville had been returned with lies and with the destruction of the town he loved so much.

Turn to banditry
Though Kyrion had been given shelter, and had enough of food, he found himself with diminishing tools and armor and had been struggling to earn any money even with all the hours he spent in the mines, and so he turned to raiding and mercenary work to earn a living.
