King Dionysus was born in the Royal Apartments at the Tower of Dunmar in the Kingdom of Tiveria on 7th November of 1421, is father was Lucanio I and Dianour, His father sent him to spent most of his childhood in the Keep of Castrula in the Duchy of Sinatus. Being a small residence Dionysus had all attention focused on him, his father wanted him to have the best education while keep Dionysus away from the problems of court since the kingdom was fighting the complicated Corrupta wars for two decades.

When Dionysus turned 16, the Kingdom of Corrupta had fallen, King Margor of Corrupta felt ill and died one year later and all his lands passed to his late wife the Consort Queen of Corrupta Goyara I, Goyara offered her only daughter's hand to Dionysus in exchanged to keep Corrupta independent state of Tiveria until herself passed away and the title would move to her daughter and therefore becoming part of Tiveria, Lucanio I accepted and arranged the marriage between the two.

Dionysus and Toybyana got married in 1438 at Dunmar City, Dionysus had moved to the Keep where the court was, the Kingdom was back to a stable state. In 1440, Princess Tobyana got pregnant by Dionysus and the Lucanio immediately threw a banquet at the royal court, at the banquet King Lucanio I was assassinated by Queen Goyara by using a dagger and slitting his throat behind him, Lucanio felt on the floor while Goyara tried to stab Dionysus, but was stopped by his mom and his brother. This event is called "the bloody announcement ". Goyara was sentenced to torture and death, this event traumatised Dionysu, his spoused Tobyana had fled the castle but was captured, Dionysus pled his mom not to kill but sent her instead to Castrula where she would spent the rest of her life. Queen Dianour entered a depressive state and the country started to collapse after a few months, she coudn't lead the country as she felt more into madness, her son Dionysus took over the country while his mom was incapacitate in bed, Dionysus changed most of the laws at the time against his mom's permission. His ex-spouse Tobyana gave birth to twins Ashytyn and Lynxinus in Castrula, when they were four years old his two children came to the royal court and left his mom behind but would visit on occasion, Dionysus got the country's crown after his mom felt ill and passed in 1441, in 1442 Dionysus then re-married, this time marrying Thomasus 1 of Eistadt Being the first monarch to marry into the same gender however his people revolted against him and refused to accept the his new spouse as it was against the belief. During Dionysus early reign two assassination attempts were attempted, one while he was at mass in Dunmar Cathedral and another one in Court by his own page, this left Dionysus worried what else could happen to him and his children, Dionysus decides to leave Dunmar City and take court somewhere else quieter, while leaving the city in early hours of the morning two assassins stabbed his son Thundario, one of the Royal Guards sees this from the castle walls and warns the guards, the guards however try to strike Dionysus which was already in the ship, his most trusted guards pushed all the traitors out of the ship and the king and the rest of the court to the lower decks, the ship leaves the city and Dionysus only then realises his son Thundario had been killed, Dionysus went into a state of madness and shut himself in the ship's pantry for two days, while the ship follows the coast of the south sea King Dionysus leaves to go get some fresh air and is when he says to the men on board "here is where thy lay", Dionysus sees two small villages right next to each other, one of the them called Borne the other was Waller. He says to his men and court on board "a house so large and so magnificent shall lay between these two hamlets, today we build our new home". He also promised to build a convent where his son would be proper burrial in and the rest of his family, which he called the Royal Pantheon of Thundario. Once the ships arrived the people met Dionysus, his men start working on the Royal Tent, The King receives a letter a week later after landing to find out that Dunmar had fallen, people were looting the Tower of Dunmar and the city was being governed by different people everyday as it was very unstable, Dionysus lived in these series of tents for about a year when the first rooms of the new castle were built, the series of tents and quickly built rooms were knowed as "Royal Pavilion of Bornewall".

Dionysus grew tired of knowing his kingdom was falling apart and it shocked him to have to live in such bad conditions. In 1444 the King leaves bornewall and leaves his son to take care of court and Bornewall, the King marches north towards Dunmar passing by the Tremor mountains. Dionysus arrives in Dunmar and a siege that last two days starts, Dionysus's great knowledge of the city walls and castle fortifications led to a quick siege, Dionysus spents two months in Dunmar rebuilding the city and improving the fortifications, however people of Dunmar were still agains't him and were constatly rebelling against the kingdom, Dionysus then started to what his people called the "great pit of hell", a great hole in the middle of the city was excavated where today stands the Dunmar Cathedral's cloister, there he threw whoever was against the new constitution and liberal laws, the first people to being threw in the pit was his brother's assassins, people of Dunmar started to be afraid of Dionysus and started to respect him, Dionysus also recognised the Royal Castle and the city walls were very damaged and it was during this time a new knowledge of fortification was born, the idea that using round towers instead of square towers was better at deflicing projectiles, Dionysus worried the castle couldn't stand a siege so all the curtain wall's tower's were changed into round towers. Dionysus invested a lot of the Kingdom's wealth in bulding new temples and expending the city towards the north creating a diving in the city between the poor and rich quarters, the people started seing Dionysus as a great leader. As the city expended new types of architecture started to being born, a new type of architecture which was improving of vaulted ceiling's and round arches was started to being added to buildings interior's and exterior, this type of architecture was added to for example Dunmar Cathedral interior making it feel taller and more it server as to hold the structure together with less resources. This type of architecture is now knowed as a Diorchini.
