Hello Everybody,

Today is the final story timeline release. For those that haven’t followed along, we have been releasing bits of the story and lore behind The Exiled weekly, leading up to last week’s launch. This week, we are going to cover the current state of the world. Just like every week, we are also giving away a Steam key from our Facebook page (https://www.facebook.com/the.exiled.game/). Make sure you follow our Facebook page as we will be asking a question that’s relevant to today’s post in the near future. If you answer the question correctly, you’ll be entered into a random drawing for the Steam key. Below are links to all the story timeline posts until now: - Story Introduction: http://www.the-exiled.co/post/156941147702/story-introduction-and-pre-launch-giveaway-news - The Past - Part 1: http://www.the-exiled.co/post/157199335479/story-timeline-the-past - The Past - Part 2: http://www.the-exiled.co/post/157494434256/story-timeline-the-past-part-2 We hope you’ve enjoyed learning more about the history behind The Exiled and we look forward to growing our game with you, during its time in early access.

Current State Of The World

We in the Mekar valley are sealed off from the rest of the world by Katakan. It is a place of desolation, corruption and sour waters. It is inhabited by us, the Outcasts. Some are here because they fell foul of the merchant’s council of Katakan. Some are here because heavy bribes were paid to make them disappear. Some chose to be here - some seek adventure and fortune, some seek old friends and vanished relatives. The Outcasts cluster in crude settlements, some larger than the others. Although there is lawlessness, a rough justice prevails, ever since the Treaty of the Hollow allied the major settlements. Despite these alliances, the valley is by no means a safe place. There are patrols of the Katakani, out to steal resources or to slaughter rebels. And there are older, stranger things; once-people, the Revenants, the Sasar. These are remnants of the Mekari, twisted and changed by the strangeness of the land. Monstrous things, apparently without intellect, acting on instinct and hostile to any who walk their lands. Then there are the Keepers. These strange creatures appeared only this year. They are hooded, robed, and faceless, and seem to be shades of a sort - any who have tried to strike them say that their weapon merely passes through. Yet they are not hostile. They do not seem to talk, but are aware of the Outcasts. It is said that sometimes, if an Outcast comes to death by mischance, the Keeper will bring them back to life. Some people believe that these creatures are servants of the gods. Others that they are demons. Those people brought back by the Outcasts are named Kai-nol, Empty Ones, and some settlements treat them with respect and awe; others with terror and disgust. Flux has become a de facto currency within the Valley; those skilled in the arts of the use of Sigils and Flux use it to reshape their abilities, while others use it as a base for strengthening other more mundane materials for building and other crafting. The Katakani patrols have increased in numbers. The city’s defences around the dam and the valley walls have grown thick and strong. The Katakani have heard the legends... somewhere in the valley the Exile is building an army of superlative warriors with blue marks on their skin. Dian Batari and her cohorts are now maneuvering to declare open war on the valley - to strip it open for its resources, to destroy Rukh and her revolutionaries, and to rip out the strange magical secrets which will let them use the Sigils. It’s up to the Exile and her Outcasts to stop them.
