  Revery  
  As a boy Revery grew up as royalty in his birth place a foreign nation to Nexus.  It was his homeland but he stuck to the roots of his family.  In his childhood he would always grab his bow and go out into the wilderness surrounding his kingdom and hunt.  It was his favorite hobby and he would always brag when he out hunted his friends. Though one day his friends had the last laugh when a wild boar snuck up on him.  In an act of self defense he attacked it but the boar knocked him down to the ground and slashed his face.  Laughing his friends killed the boar spilling the blood all over Revery.  The slash to his face healed but left a large scar across his left cheek.  He had become a little paranoid and always slept lightly afterwards.  He grew they would go out and hunt bigger game and often enjoyed the spoils of his hunt.  But hunting wasn't his only interest anymore.  His focus turned to a princess of an allied kingdom.  Revery and the princess Abel would often sneak out at night and spend time with each other.  Both of their families were strongly against it  in fear that an enemy would find them and take them hostage or even kill them.  Eventually Revery's parents grew old and his father past away leaving him to the throne.  His people were happy people.  Food was plentiful and no army dared to challenge the soldiers trained for battle.  years past and Revery had become a fair age but there was no bride to be.  The kingdom had grown large and began to flow into his allies, the princess he spent many moons with.  Relations remained neutral and surplus goods between them were traded frequently. One day Abel had asked a tremendous favor of Revery.  She told him that they were going to war with an enemy nation so they could have more lands and asked if her army could camp inside the walls of his castle one night so they could travel without fatigue.  Revery asked if she would need help in battling her enemy but was rejected leaving him very puzzled.  He decided to ignore is curiosity a courteously let her army stay the night in the walls of his homeland.  That night it was cold and so cloudy it blocked out the moon.  Revery woke up to that night to the sound of swords piercing his soldiers in their sleep.  Knowing he was unprepared and that his allies and betrayed him he fled for his life.  It was a savage act and all Revery ran to the hills and could only watch his kingdom get burned to the ground and the peasants get slaughtered.  He waited the next morning until the thetraitors left.  Then he Went into the ruins to find any survivors.  Many were too beaten and Revery knew most of the survivors wouldn't live.  He gathered people strong enough to reestablish their name.  They began a long nomadic walk to find lands bountiful enough for them to live.  It was a hard walk and not everyone were able to make it.  Day after day they would walk and at the end of the day form a small hunting party.  Sometimes they would successfully find game, and sometimes they would starve.  Any food would have to be rationed out to the neediest of people.  Morale was weak by that time and some people left.  He began to lead the remainder of the group to a place where he knew he could find friends.  Many days and many night the finally reached the wilderness and formed a tribe.  They were unwelcome to the natives of the land and Revery was losing his leadership among the group.  Blame fell upon him which broke his spirit.  Knowing it was best he left them to govern themselves and travelled until he could find his distant cousin Vernon.  To his suprise a handful of people stayed loyal to him and helped him search out for his cousin.  Within a month they located him living in Kugnae and had found him in a local clan.  It took them a while to get caught up and Revery found out that Vernon married and had a large family.  Revery was invited to the clan and he gleefully excepted.  He felt like an outsider at first but he was always willing to help.
