The War for Thoriré
born into the royal family of Ironhide, ilya was the second heir to the throne of Thoriré  after his brother hielkuh in an old kingdom populated by both dwarves and humans. he was great with the blade to a level where at the age of 13 he could go for minutes against normal everyday bandits, but his life took 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.

A massive battle ensued between the races. one side being the Thoririan dwarves who were loyal to the crown, under the leadership of prince Hielkuh, and the other were humans, following the lead of General Dorim. Heavily outnumbered, the dwarves retreated to the caves. civilians and soldiers were engaged in the fight one of the soldiers being ilya who was able to kill around 2-4 humans who he saw as friends the dwarves were able to hold their ground, but Dorim's army slowly cornered them, after everyone agreed that defeat is certain, Hielkuh and ilya sacrificed themselves with a small force and held the line, so the majority of the people could escape. they were both captured and imprisoned.

The Escape
After the losing at the battel, ilya and his brother with the men who hold the line with them, were taken to the dungeons. it was heavily guarded to a level were everyone thought escaping from it was impossible. he was tortured and forced to give away the location of the refugees he thought to himself that if his torture as the brother of the prince was this bad he couldn't even imagen what his brother had to go through, when he saw his brothers face it was obvious that he was at the breaking point, being Imprisoned and tortured for over 30 days doesn't do anything good to a man. they had both lost all hope, until one day a small force broke them out in a stealth operation. The operation was orchestrated by Rafael Kyles and Lieutenant Jack Murdow, who were close friends with the prince and also had a big part in teaching ilya how to fight, With unorthodox techniques and tactics they managed to free ilya and Hielkuh and a handful of captured soldiers.

After the escape they travelled out of Thoriré and found the camp where most of the Thoririan refugees were hiding. With an entire kingdom wanting them killed,hielkuh decided that they should travel far away from Thoriré and start anew. They thought it would be a good idea to split so they could find a place faster, Ilya took a small group of soldiers and went on his own way so maybe he could find a place that the refugees could live in and not be afraid of death every time they go to sleep.
