Temriel
The user Temriel has been a member since 24/10/2019, taking several hiatuses with different lengths, with the last one ending on 23/11/2021. He is currently the faction leader of The Purple Empire, and co-leader/co-founder/second in command (Chancellor) of the Chromatic Empire.
To conform and immerse himself more in the site, he has come up with a sort of dynastic house, with the name of the "House of Deltearia" (possessive: Deltearian). This house rules over The Purple Empire as the leading house, and Temriel himself being head of house.

2019
Canvas 28
Temriel joined pxls on the 24th of October 2019 after hearing it from an external source (editors note, he did not come with the TikTok Invasion, it was something else). He started in the bottom right of the canvas, slowly but surely placing blue pixels, until an explosion of people joined his discord server, massively inflating the Empire's size, which would then be the reason for it's downfall. The faction (and by extension, Temriel) attacked artwork, lattices, and was pretty hostile, which means that it only lasted a few days until Temriel gave the ownership to someone else on the Discord server as the Empire was collapsing. He originally thought that this would be the last time he would be on pxls as he couldn't show his face afterwards due to the humiliating defeat, however next canvas he would return once again.
Canvas 29
When he came back once again, the Swedish Empire was his new faction to place for, and for most of the canvas he was uninvolved with drama personally, and mostly just placed on the Swedish flag that the faction had put over the country. He would help in the conquest of Norway, help in the "sinkmark" initiative and later respect Pinkmarks position as controllers of Denmark, even though he did want the Swedish Empire to take it over as well. Later, he would help the Swedish colonial attempts and subsequent conquest of Peru.
Canvas 30
This canvas saw the Swedish Empire join the Second Pixel Axis, which Temriel would help place on in small amounts. After a long while when the template was completed, he saw fit to recreate The Blue Empire from Canvas 28, but in a much smaller and way less organized form. No discord server would be created to support this, and he would never make notice of it during the time it existed.
He would end this canvas having placed 2443 pixels.
Canvas 30a
Seeing that the SPA wasn't making any real artwork this canvas, Temriel once again decided to make a solo piece. It was a repeatable pattern it a specific way so it could be considered a lattice. This would also count as a sort-of revival of The Blue Empire once again, but as on c30, it was not official.
2021
Canvas 51
During late November of this canvas, Temriel decided to finally return after a long hiatus of not using pxls. He would found and lead a purple-based background faction known as The Purple Empire, or TPE. The name officially uses the definitive article as to not have the acronym be "PE", a personal choice he himself decided.
He would end this canvas having placed 3809 pixels, the lowest in recent history (ignoring -snip- mode canvases).

Finding a spot for TPE this canvas was easy, with the claiming template only being the emblem, name, and discord invite. This would later get expanded to include various other artworks. The initial claim went next to the Femboy Café after he had conversed with DelilahArt about going next to his faction, and surrounding it in the colour purple. This however did not go to plan after the multiple DDoS attacks against the Pxls.space platform during the Place Invasion, in tandem with the much higher user- and cooldown- times.
Dealing with the aftermath of the Place Invasion, like with the other background factions alike, such as Orange Gang and the Navy Blue Grand Monarchy, was a chaotic experience no one really was used to. Standard policy for all three factions was to not allow artwork on their backgrounds after it had been placed, which succeed for Orange Gang, most likely due to it being a lighter colour, and the Navy Blue Grand Monarchy, due to their sheer strength. Temriel's faction, the The Purple Empire however, was not as lucky. Compared to other TPE canvases, this one was by far the most art packed canvas, though thankfully almost all artwork built over TPE was at least some shade of purple. The entire invasion, along with the high cooldowns and user counts, lead to Temriel not nearly placing as many pixels as before, and his ability to defend TPE's background was therefore quite lackluster, which he would consider "Quite the embarrassment, and not really fun to be forced to see your pixels be placed over."
However, during the later days of this canvas, a new faction would be formed, with Temriel as one of the co-founders. This, of course, would become the Chromatic Empire, with Temriel as the factions' Chancellor. Along with pineApple (Liam) and Monster_Chicken, the three factions of The Purple Empire, the Navy Blue Grand Monarchy and Orange Gang, would unify under a singular banner to both strengthen each other and protect each others backgrounds. H2O Fan Club (then H2O Lattice) would later also join the Chromatic Empire as a full Imperial Subject, akin to the other factions already apart of the Chromatic Empire.

Factions
Current Factions
The Purple Empire
Self proclaimed emperor of the Purple Empire, created the same day his latest hiatus ended, on 23/11/2021, this is a faction, like it's name entails, a faction for purple. When it started, it only placed purple pixels and did not make any arts, which proved to be not the best strategy. This continued for the rest of canvas 51 and 1/3 into canvas 52. It was during this time that DelilahVR reached out to him to try to get him to actually put art on the canvas, which didn't go too well. Temriel originally thought that it was not needed, yet realized later on that background factions need art to survive properly.
Chromatic Empire
Temriel and the rest of The Purple Empire joined the Chromatic Empire on canvas 55 as a founding member, and shortly after Temriel became the Empire's Chancellor, while the Imperial Chromatic throne was given to pineApple.
Previous Factions
The Blue Empire
The first faction that Temriel had been a part of was his own faction of The Blue Empire, a pxls spin-off of the Blue Corner from /r/place (not to be confused with the Navy Blue Grand Monarchy). This faction has re-appeared 4 times, first on Canvas 28, slightly on Canvas 30, a larger bit on Canvas 30a and lastly on Canvas 37.
The Swedish Empire
After the disastrous campaigns Temriel had launched during Canvas 28, and the subsequent downfall of the Empire, he decided to switch factions and place for one that represented his home country of Sweden. It appeared to be a success in reviving his interest in pxls further, as he was additionally active on Canvas 30 and other currently unknown canvases.
Second Pixel Axis
During Canvas 29 in the later parts of the canvas, the idea of a Second Pixel Axis was come up with between the leaders of several nationalistic factions, and ManePxls. When the template for it was announced on Canvas 30, he began placing on it to symbolize his allegiance to both the Swedish Empire and to the Second Pixel Axis.
During Canvas 32 he also placed for the faction in the large and controversial art collab between the Second Pixel Axis and the New Pixel Allies. Notably, he also helped in slight amounts with the :pizdec: lattice surrounding the artworks.
Polonian Pxls
On several canvases, starting from Canvas 38, Temriel had found himself aligning with a Polish-themed faction, owned by YoujPL. He placed for the faction on Canvas 38, Canvas 39, Canvas 40, Canvas 41, Canvas 42 and Canvas 43. During Canvas 44, he only placed around 250 pixels for the faction, and on Canvas 45 and Canvas 46 it was less than 100 a canvas.
The Magenta Empire
A very short concept faction, based upon the colour of Purple. This was due to Temriel thinking the Purple on-site was called Magenta. When he realized his mistake, the faction name was quickly changed to The Purple Empire, what we have now.
The concept was not dead however, as on Canvas 60, upon discovering most of the canvas was purple Temriel decided to revive the faction idea but have it be mauve instead. Finding out that the acronym could be changed to "TEM" from E-Aria, The Magenta Empire became a thing again, but this time mauve.
