We are the outcasts. The rebels, those who were cast out for violating some ridiculous law. We live by our own rules, our own justice. We are the banished. We are the exiled.
. Backstory .
It's a well-known fact that the world can be a harsh place. It seems even harsher when the guilty don't get what they deserve. And thus begins the tale of Exsilium's founding. The creator of Exsilium, now deceased, believed in following one's own morals before all else. Such a value conflicted with his pride's laws. Long story short, he was cast out from the pride and forced to become a loner. Instead of taking this lying down, he decided to form a pride for others like him. As time passed, it was agreed that canines should be allowed entrance also, as we are all the same at our core. As such, Exsilium was no longer a pride, nor a pack, but referred to as simply a faction. Years have passed since that time, and Exsilium still lives and thrives.
But there is one striking difference, among many.
Besides obvious changes, such as leadership and members, the faction's goal has changed. Back then, the outcasts within Exsilium simply survived, nomads by nature. Recently, however, there has been a plague emerging. No matter where the faction goes, the virus follows.
It's hard to detect at first, this virus. The first symptoms are barely noticeable: slight dizziness, fatigue, perhaps an aching head. What's more, they don't persist for very long. The fatigue and dizziness can be completely gone with a quick nap, the headache fading with time. Then the symptoms worsen. Weight loss is common, as well as coughing up blood. And then the madness. Without fail, the virus will cause its victim to gradually lose their sanity.
But there is hope.
According to Exsilium's current leader, there is a place out there, a safe haven where the plague has and will never touch. As of now, no members of the faction are infected, partially due to their nomadic tendencies. And so they search. Looking for this alleged paradise, somewhere safe from the nightmarish world they are living in.
But it will be a long journey.
