Another question:

...once, instead of attempting to escape, the prisoners organized a takeover of the prison and succeeded. The most hardened criminals took over leadership positions, while the guards were relegated to the role of slaves.
Of course, the government immediately sent an army to retake the prison...

How many years ago, relative to the current events of the game, did this happen?

~Two centuries.

Just like with Dungeon in the previous expansion, can we have a bio for the fictional persona here, and a bio for the real one sent privately?

Ratislav

---

---

Ratislav belongs to an ancient Tyrian house, whose family estate was devastated during the terrible war with demons. Almost all of his ancestors perished in a horrific fire; only one of them managed to survive that black day.
The child was discovered under the roof of a collapsed shed by surviving townspeople, who took him in and saved him from imminent death. Nevertheless, remaining in Tyria was simply impossible, and kind people originally from Heligkait departed with a small caravan toward the west.
In Heligkait, the boy agreed to say a prayer to Lucian and embrace faith in him rather than in other Tyrian gods, who were unpopular and practically forgotten during those turbulent times.
The war with demons continued for many decades; as a growing youth, he happened to participate in many bloody battles, in which he managed to stay alive only by a miracle. After the war ended, he decided to embark on a dangerous journey to the western lands, for nothing held him in Heligkait and his homeland had been practically wiped off the face of the earth. On the way, he met a Tyrian sorceress possessing numerous magical abilities, and it is no surprise that mutual sympathy between them soon grew into something more.
There is no need to describe all the hardships they endured during this arduous journey. By its end, the warrior, his wife, and two small children decided to settle in places now belonging to the domains of Dal Duran. They did not abandon their faith in Lucian, whom they consider their sole and true patron. Furthermore, it has now become a common custom in their lineage to study healing magic and train in skills with own two-handed weapons, an ability which is in the blood of every Tyrian.
Ratislav's ancestors fought sacredly for the purity of the blood of their small people and house; that is why it became their custom to choose partners from similarly noble and respected Tyrian families living in Dal Tarren and other regions of the New World. In addition to all the above, it should be noted that longing for a long-forgotten homeland left far to the east gradually turned into hatred among the Tyrians toward any spawn of darkness, as well as anyone associated with them. Young warriors undergo mandatory training at the academy of healers in Dal Shabet, after which they are initiated into the basic canons and customs of the Alissandrian church, although they do not directly recognize this denomination, only its core ideas.
Beyond all this, it is unclear whether magical abilities can be inherited, but occasionally people possessing some gift for elemental magic appear in Ratislav's lineage. Although most still recognize only healing magic and despise dark and secret sorcery, they agree that "one must learn to use their talents in the right channel." This is why there is nothing wrong with such "exceptions" undergoing additional training at the academy of Dal Amen.
Ratislav was born last among four children and began showing extraordinary magical abilities almost from birth. His parents had no choice but to send him for training to Khontai, where he learned to control certain spells of elemental magic, using them to his maximum advantage. After this, the young warrior underwent the highest training at the academy of Healers and also learned masterful handling of a two-handed sword.
Ratislav managed to participate in several battles with the states of the Old World, although this was not received by his family with great enthusiasm. His parents did not understand how, after only some four centuries, people could once again be capable of going to war against each other and brotherly nations become truly irreconcilable enemies. But their son had long since ceased to be a child, and they were unable to decide anything for him.
Finally, the war drew near its end, and Ratislav was released home. His parents immediately began searching for a suitable partner for the "great hero," which he, of course, did not consider himself to be. His heart craved new clashes, new battles, and so he immediately seized the only such opportunity when he learned about an expedition to the wild lands planned by an organization unknown to him called Silnevknight. The very next day, the Tyrian gathered all necessary belongings and, under the sad gazes of his seeing-off relatives, set out on his way...

---

Ratislav, no longer young but far from old, a warrior around thirty years of age, is proficient with a two-handed sword, healing magic, and several elemental spells, which he prefers not to use very often, of course. He is not particularly talkative, although quite friendly toward all who are not connected to dark gods, demons, or other unholy creatures. Ratislav views war as something necessary, though he much more gladly prefers fighting dark creatures rather than other people.
Ratislav is not especially intelligent, though by no means stupid; he is often very presumptuous, overly brave and self-confident, relying exclusively on his own skills in battle rather than the help of friends. He does not particularly like mages or those who fight from a distance in general, considering such acts cowardly and underhanded. He values melee warriors far more.
Ratislav believes that conversation and diplomacy can only be applied to other representatives of the human race, and even then only to those who have not chosen some demon from the underworld as their deity. With others, the conversation should be extremely short: first a total freeze, and then a powerful strike with a two-handed sword.

And I'm a retri paladin, I'll chop them all down alone!

Nemo is perhaps one of the most enigmatic members of the expedition: hiding her appearance behind a layer of iron armor and changing her voice with magic, she prevents those around her from determining either her gender or even her appearance. What can we say about her motives and past? However, she is not a silent tin can at all; she actively participates in conversations with the others, sometimes teasing them. Of course, given her oddities and peculiar sense of humor, not everyone takes it well. But Nemo doesn't take this to heart because she doesn't trust any of them enough to tell her story. And frankly, she wouldn't – there's something particularly pleasant about knowing that some things in this world are known only to you.
But if Nemo's history were to come out, it would become known that once she was called Mayara, and she was just an ordinary girl. Ordinary, at least, as much as an Anaqadian living in Nevermore could be. In addition, her parents elevated the dogmas of Nox almost to an absolute, which greatly affected Nemo's character. But neither worshiping Nox nor being a Nevermore bandit appealed to the girl, despite her more than impressive strength and stamina. She was attracted to secrets, knowledge, and mysteries, for which most other residents of Nevermore were not famous. Yes, the cultists of Nox could teach magic, but their knowledge was meager. Yes, sometimes books and educated prisoners were found among the trophies, but without knowing foreign languages, they were of little use. And then she saw a light at the end of the tunnel in the form of the demon Xipil. He could give her what she wanted, albeit in exchange for loyal service. But what is the difference between working for a demon and a bandit leader? Both commit terrible acts by the standards of the surrounding world; people simply fear the latter more. It was at that moment that the Nemo who (doesn't) know now was born.

"Egoism" – according to the creator of this flamberge, it was supposed to drain life force from the enemy and heal the owner at their expense. Instead, it drains materials from the enemy's weapons and armor, repairing itself at their expense.
"Protector" – another creation by the maker of "Egoism"; these plate armor were supposed to protect the wearer from magic. But, like "Egoism," they only protect themselves from magic.
Cursed bracelet – a simple accessory that has grown into the girl's hand and is a symbol of the agreement between her and Xipil.
Three fake diaries – each tells its own crazy story, but not the crazy story of Nemo herself.

Dal'Amen did not evoke any feelings in Horus other than boredom; work and the need to learn dull and useless sciences plunged him into melancholy.
Therefore, at the age of twenty, he left Khontai and settled in a much more attractive place for him - Nevermore. Having spent all his money
on idle and carefree revelry, he gladly accepted the delightful embrace of Saneksa.
His ability to play gambling games well helped him quickly find his place in the city. Drunken nights at the card table, shouting thugs, blows
against the table with fists and loud laughter, giggling prostitutes in funny hats and drugs – this was exactly what Horus wanted from life.
Or rather, half of it. The other half for him was magic, specifically spells that allow control over people.
He easily found a mage who was willing to accept him as an apprentice, for a large reward.
Horus spent whole days furiously studying all aspects of the magic that attracted him, and achieved considerable success in doing so.
Having acquired all the knowledge he needed, he began looking for opportunities to test it. A message about an upcoming expedition turned out to be very opportune.
This will be fun!

Biography: Aurelius's family, though not belonging to noble houses, never tried to escape the Old World and faced any hardships with their heads held high. During the demon invasion, when the world seemed on the verge of destruction, his ancestors joined the battle on the side of Ataraxia. After the victory over the demons, his family embraced the new and renewed Ataraxianism, which proclaimed Ataraxia as the reborn Emperor in the flesh. For this reason, although Aurelius's family is of Thyrian origin, this is only reminded by the intensive weapon training that is mandatory for every Thyrian teenager; otherwise, they are, first and foremost, followers of the Church of Ataraxia. That is why Aurelius's parents abandoned the traditional Thyrian name for him and gave him a name that was closer to their religion. Aurelius was the fourth boy in the family, not counting the girls, so he didn't have much choice when he was sent to the Church as a novice. Novices receive a well-rounded education, and although Aurelius was invariably inspired and fascinated by books related to the Emperor, the empire, Ataraxia, and the religion, he still showed more aptitude with a sword than with magic or preaching, so he was trained as befits a champion of Ataraxia, who will destroy evil with his blade wherever he sees it. Although followers of this religion are expected to marry early and happily, Aurelius, at the age of 26, is still single. To the urging of his fellow believers, Aurelius always replied that, like the emissaries of old, he is looking for a woman who would perfectly complement him and support him in the fight against evil, which he tirelessly eradicates. Shortly before the end of the war, Aurelius, as a civilian, went to the depths of Shebet to meet the descendants of those very emissaries who once received their power from the Emperor himself. Unfortunately, the sight disappointed him - they were kind people who tried to help those around them, but they were already fading, and their meaningless attempts to fulfill old and forgotten commandments only evoked pity. And although he felt a special power in them, he could not understand its source. In an attempt to understand who they are - the true guardians of pure and unadulterated faith in the Emperor or just a bunch of weak people clinging to the past - he lived in their fortress in the depths of Durane for some time. When it became known about the "Silver Knight" expedition, the order sent a small detachment to the depths of Shebet, the tasks of which were not disclosed to Aurelius, but he still volunteered to accompany them.

Biography.
"I don't like the world around me," Amos Selig told his mother when he was four years old. "Not surprising, since it used to be destroyed by demons. But don't worry, son, everything will eventually get better," his mother replied.
She turned out to be almost right and lived to ninety-two, happily dying in her bed, surrounded by relatives and offspring, but nevertheless people remained the same scum, garbage as always spilled directly out the window, and Amos Selig's stepfather still slept in the ground, accidentally falling on a dinner knife that the eldest son fished out to defend himself from his drunken attacks. "People are imperfect, son," his mother said, hugging him and sitting him on her lap while the coroner examined the scene. - "To achieve something more, a person needs faith, which will help him adhere to his own virtues." "Thank you, Mom. And thank you for giving me life," Amos replied to his mother, watching the bizarre pattern formed by the splashes of blood that flew in all directions at the moment when the stool fell on the lying stepfather with a pierced belly and crushed his head. After this incident, young Amos became interested in healing and firmly decided to become a doctor when he grew up. His mother was very proud of her son's decision and supported him in all his endeavors.
For ten years, Amos Selig studied this difficult science, but when the time came and he opened his own practice, it turned out that there was little demand for traditional medicine. No one except complete scammers would stoop to bandages and scalpels, because there is convenient, effective, and painless healing magic, bestowed upon suffering humanity by the merciful Elysea. Then, completely disappointed, Amos began to introduce notes of creativity into his useless activity: he spat and urinated in elixirs, added small portions of rat poison, soaked his instruments in dirt before use, and much more. And each time, as he sent away another stinking patient, he said: "may Elysee help you," after which he shook with laughter in his miserable room where he lived and operated. This could have continued for a long time if one day a desperate rich man, carefully trying to hide his face under baggy clothes, did not visit him. He had a problem of a peculiar kind, which he could not seek divine healing for and which he could not advertise anywhere. Amos Selig did an excellent job and received good money, after which he reoriented his work solely to treating diseases of the genitourinary sphere. By prolonging the adulterous lives of adulterers, putting them on drugs that they had to return for again and again, he made many good connections and in six months earned more money than he had in his entire life. For some time, Amos Selig lived happily until he realized that these people were no more than garbage, and that he would most likely have to rummage through their organs until the end of his days.
"You don't mean..." began the tipsy and relaxed count, barely managing to speak, during a session with Amos, whom the devil prompted to share his experiences. "Well, of course not. You are my only true friend!" Zelig assured him, imagining how he cuts pieces off his skin and feeds them to street dogs. "Then come with me and I will show you something exciting that will cheer you up!" - suddenly the Count's eyes lit up. He led the doctor to a secret sanctuary in his estate, crammed full of black magic artifacts and folios. "I collected a small collection here and there," he mumbled, swaying. "You can't imagine how much you can find in the ruins of a devastated world. But, of course, I didn't use anything! Because I am a law-abiding citizen of the confederation! Ha-ha-ha!", he burst out laughing, after which he vomited everything he had consumed that evening on the floor. "Well, what about you, Count?" Amos Selig fussed. - "After all, I warned you about the consequences of mixing alcoholic beverages with your painkiller." "I do not care!" cried the Count. "Such a moment! Take it! If you want, take it all!" - he tore his shirt open and his fat hairy belly came out.
Amos Selig took nothing, but began to visit the count's dwelling more often, spending long hours in this sanctuary, fascinated by its contents and thinking about how incredibly lucky he was. "Has anyone ever been so fortunate as to discover secret chambers filled to the brim with black magic relics, allowing one to independently learn the art of magic without any mentors or academies? No, sir, I don't think so." Here it is – knowledge inaccessible to ordinary biomass, something truly worthwhile. He spent considerable time learning the forbidden science himself; many people who did not make it home at night never returned to their pigsty. Over time, the elderly count began to decline completely until he finally passed away. Some said that he was not old enough to die naturally, but no one could dispute the conclusion of his respected attending physician, Amos Selig, who determined that stress and poor ecology had finally finished off this great man. It took Amos a whole month to secretly remove all these valuable things from the sanctuary shortly before his patient's death and continue his inhumane research in his own apartment. This continued until the situation in the city became very tense, when he moved to a beautiful suburban area, continuing to practice medicine and witchcraft equally at home, in comfort and peace, away from prying eyes, ears, authorities, and rabble, and happy patients visited him every week for ten miles each way just to get another dose of the surrogate that nourished their empty lives. However, time went on, states waged endless wars, the rich grew poorer, the poor died, and things got worse and worse. When people began to be taken out of their homes in the middle of the night to go to the front, Zelig left his homeland and went west, to a rich and fabulous land, a land of great opportunities, freedom, and permissiveness.
