This island has never been discovered, and many of Nurien's colleagues believe him to be making it up. Nurien was first heard from leading a slave rebellion in the western republic. This rebellion gave Nurien the strategic and tactical experience needed to be a great leader. This rebellion was eventually quarantined to a small port in the far west, where Nurien stole an army transport and escaped with whatever rebels he could bring. With these former slaves, Nurien formed a mercenary company, eventually coming into the employ of the Drelian king. After many years serving as the leader of the Drelian army's mercenary component, Nurien was finally commissioned and given full status as a general of Drelia. Despite his belief in anarchy and power to the peasantry, Nurien served the monarchy. He also secretly attempted to undermine their rule and depose the monarchy in an attempt to create a society where there was no ruling party. Eventually, in an ironic twist, Nurien was granted power as crown regent when the king fell ill, not long after, Scipius took control of the western republic. Nurien became a central figure in the eastern alliance, and he elected to send the vanguard forces in order to stall for time. Deciding to go himself for reasons only he understands, Nurien's first actions at the front were to walk into Archon's Pass and declare that he had returned. Despite his wild-card nature, Nurien is a very kind man who is known as a father to his men, mostly due to the fact that he believes each one of them has just as much right to the land they protect as he does. Nurien is also a moderately successful general, though his tactics are experimental at best, and completely incompetent at worst. [b]Faction[/b]: Drelia was born out of Xander's conquests. Due to the wide reach of his kingdom, Xander's merchants went every which direction, meeting with odd tribes in the southeast. Eventually, a trade outpost was built, and Drelia was spawned from that outpost. As a result, many Drelians are descended from both Xanderii and these south-eastern tribes, giving them darker skin and a new language, derivative of both Xanderii languages and the languages of these same tribes. Drelia is home to a multitude of ores and exotic animals, including elephants and cheetahs, the former of which are utilized in the army.
