Former

Former are the humans that have existed on Arbur before the arrival of the Chosen. They lived a rather mundane life beforehand, and are often described as bland by the members of the Chosen. However, little is known about the actual purpose of the Former, and what role they played in Arbur's past. The name was coined by Matt.

Pre-Story
The Former are known to have existed since before (0/0/0), and it is also unknown how they originally came to the continent.

The War
At the start of The War, many Former came to side with either the Arbur Forces or the Rebel Forces and their ideologies. Thus, two major factions were created, resulting in a Former Civil War that took place in conjunction with The War. Ultimately, many Former died on both sides, and at the end of The War many Former of the now defunct Rebel Forces rejoined with the Arbur Forces, while only a relatively small amount joined the newly formed Rebels.

For more information on the Former factions during The War, see the sub-sections Loyalist Former and Rebel Former.

Story
The Former are a major presence in the Story. They do a lot of the meaningless tasks assigned to them by the Chosen. They are often treated as slaves or even indentured servants by some of the higher ups in the Arbur Forces, as well as many Chosen all around.

Loyalist Former
Loyalist Former are Former that have officially joined the Arbur Forces and work with the Chosen in a variety of tasks, most often in the military. They help maintain the stability of the Kingdoms of Arbur and keep things running smoothly.

Rebel Former
Rebel Former are Former that have joined the Rebels, or were previously in the Rebel Forces during The War. They work as foot soldiers and allies to Matt and the others, and perform a variety of military actions for them.
