The Exile

@drexes
Do they call themselves Exiles? Exiled from what precisely?

They call themselves something that roughly translates to lost ones or out casts. They were part of an empire from across the sea. It was split when twin sons were born to the emperor. They were on the losing side of the war. But to save his people from being slaughtered the losing son killed himself so that his people might leave in exile. They lost their honor with the fall which explains alot of their somber feelings and tones.

Also as a note 5'0" to 5'6" and 100 to 150 pounds is not exactly thin. Mind you 5' and 100 pounds isn't chubby or anything its even smallish but 5'6" and 150 pounds has some weight to it.

True I guess this is clouded by personal view. I am tall and by no means a small man. I'm 6 feet and 230 lbs so most people I see as thin.

As a newly formed race (you said, "the reclusive oghrim rarely meet any of the new comers") how did they come to control highly fertile and contested land?

They came on huge war galleys and fought with the large southern empire. They had better overall weapons and armor than the empire and better overall level of training. What they didn't have was a vast empire of fodder. They were going to lose the war but in the end the council of princes offered them a this large penninsula to settle so that they didn't have to fight one of the northern kingdoms for it. In return the exiles taught the empire how to make better weapons and armor and trained many soldiers in their fighting techniques.

How did they unite as a culture? Why are they exiled from whatever it is they are exiled from?

They were from a single empire so there was only one culture, mostly chinese influenced. They lost a civil war and instead of being killed in shame by their actions their emperor gave up his honor so that his supporters could live. If only in exile.

I like the start. Just thought a few questions would help.

I am glad you like it. This stuff has been fermenting in my head for a long time.

@spiralbound

Whether or not the Exiles are thin though, I am also interested in knowing the answers to the questions posed by drexes.

I am glad some people are taking an interest in my little creations. I hope the above has answered the questions well enough.

Thanks again for the comments.
