Riddle Me This! *SOLVED*

It has been a while since we had the chance to lose our minds over one of Rhys' riddles so I figured it's a good time to drop this one. I had the idea for this riddle for quite a while now and today I did my best to wrap a poem around it. Keep in mind that I have no experience in writing poems or riddles whatsoever so it might be a little hard to figure this one out.

Anyways, if you are like me and had alot of fun in participating in the great hunt for the goddess unleashed you'll probably enjoy this one aswell. That's what I hope for at least! And who knows, maybe even you wanna give it a try, Rhys? :P



The Riddle

Exiled for his crimes to a foreign land
Beginning his path on a twilighted strand.

Seeking rewards for him to survive
Now sentenced again to pay with his life.

First to fight, not ready to fall
First to hear the executioner's call.




As I said, it could be tricky to find the answer, or even the question. I'll see how it goes and drop a hint if it's needed. I also think about adding a reward, but I don't really own much stuff in Prophecy, so at the moment I could only offer a reward in the Standard League, and who to hell would want this? ;)

Let me know what you think, feedback is appreciated. Happy hunting!

Wrong guesses so far
Spoiler
Hillock, Dying Exile, Oak, Tolman, Fairgraves, The Player, Brutus, Oak, Dying Exile, Tolman, Fairgraves, The Player, Chris Wilson, The Duelist, Barkhul, Scion, Vagan, Kraityn, Piety, Terminus Est, Kaom, Kole, Daresso, Greust, Maligaro, Kaoms Warriors, Grigor, The All Flame, Marceus Lioneye



Hints
Spoiler
1) A player that only knows the first act cannot solve the riddle

2) It's kinda hard to find a hint that brings you on the right track but doesn't spoil a major part of the riddle. I had another draft for the poem that I originally didn't intend to post and I'm still hesitating because I feel that it might be too easy.

When will he hear the executioner's call?



The answer to this riddle is different from the answer to the original poem. However, if you solve either one you also solve the other.

3) Players who speak a certain language are more likely to solve the riddle.

4) The answer is not a NPC

5) We're looking for a name

6) The poem is about an actual player

7) The answer to the second peom is 14:35 (answered by keyvOne on page 9)

No correct guess so far.
Hmmm, it seems it might be one of the Rogue Exiles... but which one? I don't know any other character in the game, which started as an exile... Also, one that have died. Fairgraves, uh?
