Kaiser

 Before Eldham 

Before Eldham, Kai was a soldier from a far away island known as Umbra. Umbra was a rocky island with no inhabitants on the surface, and was separated into many hostile tribes that constantly fought. The people of Umbra were known as the "Shadowfolk", and had a deep connection to the shadows of the world. Light was very dangerous to the Shadowfolk, so they stayed in caves within the mountain. The Shadowfolk are shadowy figures with glowing white eyes, and are known for their ability to forge armor and weapons out of Shadowsteel. One day out of curiosity, Kai decided to explore outside of the caves of Umbra; He didn't believe Shadowfolk would really die outside, and knew there was opportunity outside of the caves. Once he stepped outside and left his cave- his eyes where overwhelmed with colors as a beam of light struck him out of existence...

A Shadowfolk soul cannot escape to the afterlife if slain by the sun leaving him stuck in an eternal purgatory.

 Rodinnbrok 

The soul ended up residing in a abyss in Rodinnbrok until being found by a man named Bk. Bk used his abilities to heal the soul; Thus reviving Kai. Kai's soul though revived didn't remember who it was, and was reborn as a child. Kai was raised by Bk in Rodinnbrok as though he was Bk's son, and soon learned skills in self defense and smithing. He had a ability that others did not possess- The ability to forge out of shadows, this was a trait he kept this to himself and close friends. He eventually met a skeleton named Berg who he would become close friends with, going on to live with Berg in a town named Shiloh, and during his time in Shiloh he met a gorgeous feles that went by the name of Moss. Kai spent much time with Moss, and eventually asked Moss to marry him. Kai spent many years in Shiloh, until Berg proposed the idea of their own nation. Berg also proposed that Kai aid him in revolting against Roddinbrok which Kai agreed to. Kai made many mistakes in organizing the rebellion with Berg though, and the government of Rodinnbrok quickly caught on an arrested them before Kai could even have his wedding. Berg and Kai were then arrested at a Rodinnbrok town hall, and held in prison for some time.

 Kratalia 

After Kai and Berg were let out of prison they were exiled from Rodinnbrok; Separating Kai from his fiancé. The two exiles, along with another Rodinnbrok exile known as "Whatgames" went to found a fort in Midjo r without permission from the Midjorsk government. The fort quickly grew and gained members seeking refuge after being exiled from various nations; Causing the government of Midjor to finally attack the fort. Luckily, the fort was fended off by its members, and the people of the fort decided to call themselves "Kratalia". The Kratalians fought many skirmishes with the Midjorsk government, and all of which were won by the Kratalians. The Midjorsk finally offered to pay the Kratalians to join them, in which they accepted. With no battles to occupy Kai, he went into a depression. Despite being a part of big things he had truly accomplished nothing. He had no wealth to his name and had lost his love in his ambitions for power.

 Azuma-Zi 

Kai, -struggling with his emotions- left Kratalia, and wandered for many months. He finally joined a nation known as "Azuma-Zi" and settled a town there called "Moltania". The nation of Azuma was all desert with little civilian's; He was all alone in his town with just his thoughts and the sands. The silence of the lands and the terrain around him finally started to get to him. He started to hear things. He heard things from voices in his head- about a place called Umbra with memories of people who were just like him. With his insanity growing, he started listening to, and following the voices; He reached into the void and he formed a blade from the inky, darkness of the void itself. This technique he coined Voidsteel smithing, it has the ability to craft powerful equipment that harnesses the emptiness of the void itself. As his health started to decline someone came to him during a sandstorm; Bk stepped into his hut in Azuma and invited him to join Rodinnbrok once again in his new town.

 Einberg 

Kai accepted the offer and joined his father in a town known as Grog Grotto. Last time Bk saw his son he was a man in uniform - one of honor -, and now he was one hidden in a cloak, doing what he could to survive. The town of Grog was full of bandits and Kai grew to understand their lifestyle. Kai had never had anything, and if he were to become a bandit he could finally take something for himself. He did much consideration, but before he could come to a decision on banditry; His old friend Berg approached him. Berg told him of his exile from Midjor, and his land purchase from Zamotz. He finally had a nation of his own like he had always said he would get. Berg had invited his old friend to join him. Kai accepted the offer, but once there realized he still had nothing to occupy himself with. Berg was always busy, and the other members of the council were simply brighter than him. He once again considered pursuing a life of banditry.
