Exiles typically represent the minority belief that exists within a world, directly opposing the majority belief. To protect the world, the World Representative would banish them, exiling them permanently to ensure that the world continues to run unopposed. These exiles were given the [[Role]] of Wanderer, someone who is not tied to a specific place. While most were banished from their respective worlds by someone associated with or by the [[Representative|Representative]], in some cases the exile happened by themselves willingly, as was the case with [[El Dorado|El Dorado's]] [[Exile#El Dorado|Quetzalcoatl]]. | Exiles typically represent the minority belief that exists within a world, directly opposing the majority belief.

The souls of the exiles were coalesced by unknown means into the {{Transient icon|Protagonist}}. Though not readily apparent, those people who have special abilities to sense more are able to vaguely feel that there are multiple souls in the Protagonist. In general, while many Transients may recognize the familiar soul within them, most characters are able to distinguish the differences between the exile and the Protagonist. The Representatives, on the other hand, heavily struggle to differentiate the two. | The souls of the exiles were coalesced by unknown means into the {{Transient icon|Protagonist}}.
