Cestimir Xisuthros Faendryl was the thirty-fifth Faendryl Patriarch. It was his coronation that the other Elven Houses used as an opportunity to exile the Faendryl. Lacking the respect that comes with time, he was unable to sway the other houses to change their mind, and the exile became official. He led the Faendryl to their new homes in Rhoska-Tor, where they lived for several thousand years.

Given that Cestimir was the ruling Patriarch during the exile, he was the first to encounter the severe cultural backlash towards the other Elven Houses. The exiled Faendryl began deliberately using words in a manner opposite of their original meaning, simply out of spite for the Elven language. He encouraged this practice in order to boost the self-esteem of his people, and to help them on their way to distinguishing themselves from their historical brethren. This twisting of meaning, over the centuries, eventually resulted in what is now known as the Faendryl language. With time the "Dark Elven" language emerged among the Faendryl due to their prolonged exposure to Rhoska-Tor.
