Early Life/Origin
The Exile hails from a completely different dimension to that of Rathnir and Eldham. The Exile was originally born in the Kotoron Empire, an empire that had stood strong for over 200,000 years. The Exile 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
Although Hydronis paved the way to victory for the Kotoron Empire, he sought a way to achieve peace and to stop the Kotoron Empire from falling into continuous 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, forcing Emperor Hydronis to research about his ancestor in secret. However, civilians would overhear him talking to a nearly 1000 year old man who knew about Kreiyus and this initiated a violent protest infront of the Kotoron Imperial Palace, where a slaughter of 60,000 protestors took place under the direct order of Emperor Hydronis. This however, wasn't over for the emperor, as the Imperial Army remembered what Kreiyus did to be exiled. They didn't want that to happen a second time and began storming the palace looking to kill Emperor Hydronis. The emperor however had already fled the palace with all the books about Kreiyus and was running to the uncharted wilderness where Kreiyus once walked. He turned around one last time to see the Kotoron Banner that flew for 200,000 years over the palace be taken down and replaced with the flag of the Kotoron Republic. Seething with hatred that his empire had fallen and that he was no longer emperor, the man now known simply as Hydronis, 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  Percussio Exilii  and pushed open the sarcophagus to reveal the remains of Kreiyus holding 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 is now making plans to build the Wintergard Port & Trading Hub.

Development of the Wintergard Port & Trading Hub
The Exile began developing an interest in trading and merchantry and drove him to establish the Wintergard Port, 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.
