Dawn Silverlake was a young nobleman that climbed to the top through politics and investments. Growing up, Dawn made many friends with all sorts of people from all walks of life. He was considered a good citizen by many's standards, and truly was. That is, till word got around that King Oliver was the reason the new king of Hyza was killed. This didn't sit will with Dawn as he felt that it was a cowardly move to wait till your brother died of sickness to attack his kingdom.
From that moment Dawn Silverlake slowly allowed his hate for the king to consume him. He spent many nights in talks with people about rebellion and how they could remove Oliver from power. Blinded by hate, dawn's actions lacked subtlety though, and news of his uprising made it to the king's ears before it was truly in motion. Afraid, Oliver ordered that Dawn and his collaborators be made an example of! The day became rather infamous as Dawn Silverlake and hundreds more were publicly executed in the streets of Rosetine.
Since then, Oliver has ruled with an iron fist that no one challenges out of fear for their lives. Alexius was no longer the same no matter one's wealth or social standings. Dawn's death has not been completely in vain though. His passion still lives on in his daughter Oddessa Silverlake.
