Rhys, when I think of "exile", I imagine an individual separated from something. When I look at the current "exiles", the quote that comes to mind when I play any of them is, "Death does not follow me; death flows through me". Let's summarize their desires, and how they are "separate from something".

Old guy is always with god.

Shadow doesn't even care because of his talents.

Tribal chocolate bunny is always with his ancestors.

Archer is always with nature.

Witch is always with her elements.

Duelist is always looking for a challenge in general.

Tell me how they are "exiles", when they appear to be well intact?

A true exile can't live like Mundo, and go where they please, else they wouldn't be an exile... they would be an individual.

oh oh oh YEAH

Alright, here's some really deep things to think about:

They are called an exile because they were thrown into one place from another for doing something.

In the mind of an exile, there is fear, broken form, confusion, darkness and a violent storm.

In the mind of the current "exiles", there is no fear - no broken form - no confusion - there's darkness and there is everything to make them an "exile" to others. THEY are not exiles; THEY are perceived as exiles. I highly doubt this game is based on the inaccurate intellect of town's people...

Now, thinking things further in, you realize that we all live in our own little worlds. The fact that the current "exiles" ended up in another place because they continued to live in their own world, is enough to state that they are not an exile - to have stopped themselves and to have fought against their own nature would have turned them into an exile, truly.

Therefore, the real exiles are the town's people (Oriath)!

Projecting much?


How is it projecting? The entire term "exile" is absurd and inaccurate to its use; it's exactly the same problem with "owning" anything. People assume power and control over somebody or something without actual control and power. They use "fear", and "separation" as a form of "control" to make people's options be aligned with their corporate agendas.

When you stop to think about the term, you realize that the current "exiles" are living as they ought - in their own world, so they aren't an "exile" of anything - since when was someone's opinion an actual event?

Let me ask you 1 question, Charan: "Is the wise man living on a remote island an exile?"

They have all been separated from something. Templar from his brotherhood, Marauder from his home, Duelist, Shadow and Scion from their seemingly good life on Oriath. They've been exiled from semi-civil society. But their path of exile shows that most of them were exiled for a reason. They inhabited a world where they didn't belong. Duelist had grown bored in Oriath, but could find endless challenges in Wraeclast. Witch turned her destructive arts into something amazing. Ranger is allowed to be the thievingest scoundrel she can be.

While it doesn't look it at first, they are definitely separated from safety or civility. Ranger seems to be an outlier, "One land is like any other." But the wilderness of Oriath is a bit lacking in sirens and ancient constructs and creeping bird things that throw up on you.


Edit for new posts: Exile has a fairly standard definition. Set foot on this island again and you'll be very dead.

That's my point, however. In the end, they weren't ever exiled nor did they become exiles. They are what they are, and seem to be where they belong...

So why exile? They are home where ever they go - their home, is their insanity.

By assembling this data, you realize they were exiles before Wraeclast - now, they are free to live, to thrive to become something more which can not be judged, restricted or influenced.

An exile, both in the modern and the historical sense, is someone who can no longer live in their home land, and it's never entirely by choice. People either GET exiled (kicked out) or they GO into exile (to escape persecution). Neither act is voluntary.

A hermit opting to live on a remote island for spiritual reasons is not an exile. The modern term for a person like that is "a dropout".

That's again, my point. You can't exile will. You can't exile someone - you can't even kill the person and call it "exiling". The entire term "exile" is based on hubris and false interpretation of power and control. You can shut them out in perspective, but that's as far as it will ever go. Detaining a person, and sending them elsewhere is not "exiling"; it's abusing physics.
