Cult of the Exiled

The standard of the Cult.

***The Exiled***, or the ***Cult of the Exiled***, was an absolute monarchy established on the 29th of Terriuskure, 60 PR, and was reformed on the 12th of Quentikure, 1076 PR.

## History:

### Banishment of the Necromancer:

On the 15th of Terriuskure, 60 PR, King Uther Pendragon officially exiled Head Mage Reiner Ortellia for being the first to use necromancy magic within the Freldan Isles. Reiner would retreat to the Jinti Mountains, were he would establish a cult to worship his new power known as the Cult of the Exiled.

On the 7th of Ventikure, 62 PR, Reiner would be betrayed by his daughter Valindra Ortellia. Now in control of the Cult, Valindra would force a conflict between the Cult and the Freldan Kingdom, this conflict would slowly lead to the declaration of the *First Exiled-Freldan War* on the 24th Hajnkure, 64 PR.

### Conquest of the Freldan Isles:

With the declaration of the *First Exiled War*, the Cult began its conquest on the Freldan Kingdom. Lasting for almost 13 years, the Exiled would soon move in to destroy the Kingdom completely. After the *Battle of the Southern Monastery*, a battle which saw the Kingdom be victorious over the Exiled, the Exiled invaded the capital city of Tintagel. Soon the *Battle of Tintagel*, would end with the Exiled destroying the city, leaving only the city of Silverain as the last stronghold of the Kingdom.

Finally, the war would end with the *Battle of Silverain*, where the Exiled and Valindra herself would be defeated by King Arthur Pendragon and his Knights of the Round Table. With Valindra's death, the Cult of the Exiled would soon disband leaving the Freldan Isles in peace for a time.

### Reformation of the Cult:

For almost a millennia, the Witch of Darkness, Morganna LeFay would be sealed on the Isle of Shunland. During this time, she would plot out events that would lead to her escape. This started with her resurrecting Valindra Ortellia and commanding her to reform the Cult of the Exiled.

On the 12th of Quentikure, 1076 PR, the Cult of the Exiled would be reformed and soon their final conquest would begin.

### Final Conquest:

On the 15th of Terriuskure, 1077 PR, the Exiled would invade the city of Koros. The *Battle of Koros* ended with a complete and total Exiled victory leading to the declaration of the *Second Exiled-Freldan War.*

With the *Second Exiled War* now underway, the Exiled would quickly invade the east of Grand Frelda. Only losing a few battles such as the *Battle of Eleybridge*. However, similar to the *First Exiled War* the fate of the Isles would be settled in a single battle, that battle being the *Battle of Vanna.*

The *Battle of Vanna* would see the Exiled invade the city of Vanna, with their only enemies being the citizens and the Three Chosen of the Prophecy. Soon, the Three Chosen would gain reinforcements that would turn the tide of the battle. Valindra would be defeated by the *Lady's Arms*, with her soul being destroyed forever with no hope of returning. Without their leader, the Cult of the Exiled would collapse, with it never having a chance to return ever again.

## Government:

The government of the Cult of the Exiled is an absolute monarchy, where all the power and decision making is up to the monarch and their council. Due to its nature of not fully acting as a nation, the Cult only has an executive branch of their government known as the Council of the Dammed.

### Executive Branch:

The executive branch of the Cult is the Council of the Dammed. While the Council of the Dammed holds the title of the executive, it is merely an advisory body for the Monarch of the Dead. It is made up of those the Monarch finds necessary for advising them and their actions.
