History Fridge / PathOfExile

* How many Exiles there even were? In the Lunaris Temple, we see whole mountains of bodies and rivers of blood, dead people by the thousand heaped up, not to mention all the monsters which also used to be exiles. Yet Oriath is a small island off the Wreaclast coast... banishing in such numbers, even for the most minor transgressions, it must have a serious depopulation problem, especially since a lot of exiles die on the way: there are dead bodies in the ship at the starting screen, and only two people survive even being dumped to the sea. The logistics of the whole thing also seem very complicated: exiles are thrown out at the Wraeclast coast and then fend for themselves, while Piety and her Blackguards presumably round them up again?

** [[JumpingOffTheSlipperySlope He's dishonoured already; what's one more compromise?]]
** The sacred prohibition was for Karui hundreds of years ago, and they were original Karui warriors and not the ones who had settled in or been enslaved in Oriath. The Marauder likely hails from a divergent sect that doesn't have the same prohibitions.
* How are there [[spoiler:Piety Miscreations]] in the Beast? [[spoiler:Very little time has passed between the Exile defeating Piety and killing Dominus and the Exile entering the Beast, so even if Malachai did teleport some of Piety's old corpses when he teleported her to him, she had very little time to turn them into Miscreations]].

** The vaal experimented with implanting gems into people's bodies. It's likely you are doing a less extreme version.
