==Background==
Born into the noble ruling family of Iressia, Authun was lonely during his childhood, mostly due to the neglect of his father, Aletil Virikai, the king. However, young Authun made up for it with intelligence and brute strength. He would often pick fights with other children of royalty out on the cold streets of Yertivak, mostly ones who bullied around the lower classes, giving him the title of "Virikai the Cold", after brutally beating the son of a local landowner for attempting to commit rape on a peasant girl, no matter how much he pleaded mercy. As he grew older, he took up his studies in reading about social reforms and economic injustice. He saw the unemployed working classes as the bulk of a kingdom, a force which can be turned into a well oiled machine suited for both war and labor. His ideals made him an infamous figure in the royal council, many of who's members were corrupt and abused their powers. His own father saw Authun was a threat, and began a time known as "The Wrath of Our Wonderful King", which cut off all rights of the peasants in Iressia. In addition to Authun's growing fury, the news of his father's new wife, Isabel Narmissa Kristof, and elder stepson, Larnius, whom excersised his new found power by bringing down further misery on the working class, finally broke him. Soon, Authun was crying out for justice, making public speeches to the hubbled masses who would spend hours listening to his words, devouring them more and more as news of inner corruption of their government reached their ears. Authun's ideals put his life in risk, his own family saw him as a public threat, forcing him to rely on the help of the nation's residents to hide him. Even with the workers' anger building up, they cannot bring themselves into open revolt, many were worried for their families should they die, no matter how much Authun pleaded with them to try. A solution however, was finally established, to form a new kingdom, independent from Iressia. Under the cover of night, a fleet of loyal workers to Authun set sail to lands unknown, vowing to return to his homeland to overthrow his family.
