OKAY, so working on my new character and I want them to have a big ol' bone to pick with Arcadia. However, I'm not sure if what I've come up with is allowed so I'm looking for help.

Anders Nazret was born during the golden age of Arcadia. He was a gifted child, adopting both magical and martial pursuits easily. His natural talent along with a rock-hard work ethic allowed him to become a burgeoning prodigy. Before long he grew to be a respected and influential member of Arcadian society. He served dutifully beneath Emperor Trevon XI, as a royal guard. Years passed and he matured into his role as the world around him began to change.

However, the Emperor fell ill and passed suddenly. Arcadia was fractured by his death, with no direct heir to the throne. Factions filled with supposed “heirs” of questionable blood splintered and tore Arcadia apart. This was the end of the golden age. Rather, this was the version recorded in the history books. Anders, however, knew the truth. As an elite member of the royal guard he was privy to information kept hidden from the general populace. The Emperor did not die childless. The true heir was hidden from the world in the hopes of keeping them safe should a coup take place. This knowledge was entrusted to Anders and Anders alone. His mission, should Trevon XI die, was to recover the lost heir and return them to their rightful seat on the throne.

With Arcadia in chaos following the Emperor’s death, Anders set about on his mission. The heir, a young child by the name of Eulalia, lived with a middle class farming family, blissfully unaware of their bloodline. Anders arrived in the dead of night, addressing the child’s foster parents with a coded phrase. They explained to Eulalia their true heritage. After a long series of tear-filled farewells Eulalia left with Anders, leaving their mundane life behind. However, this was not to be. Anders and the heir were ambushed by a retinue of royal swordmages turned traitors. Anders fought hard, protecting the Eulalia over the course of several days as they were hunted through the wilderness.

Eventually, Anders was entrapped by an incredibly powerful and long-since forgotten stasis enchantment. He was frozen in limbo, unable to interact with or be interacted with by the outside world. He watched as Eulalia was slain and buried in a shallow grave. He watched as Arcadia crumbled. He watched as the false heirs came and went. He watched as the world he had loved became a twisted and unrecognizable parody of itself. He watched, unable to do a damn thing about it. He watched and he hated and he bided his time. Over time the enchantment began to come undone. With each century his prison became less and less stable, until finally, Anders Nazrat manifested atop the long-forgotten grave of Eulalia, the True Heir of Arcadia.

If this is perhaps too "concrete" in regards to the history of Erde Nona, I was thinking that perhaps the stasis magic has affected Anders's memories of the events and he is perhaps somewhat delusional.
