-Four years after the initial idea of forming a group of loyal followers, Mathias has got exactly the men he needs to begin building the [[Solarii Brotherhood]]. The men are strong of body, weak of will and they are willing to serve Mathias, and through Mathias they serve the [[Sun Queen]]. Somehow Mathias has started to believe that the [[Sun Queen]] is showing him the way - she always has showed him the way. Mathias is determined to grow the [[Solarii Brotherhood]], and make the group more organized by drafting laws and creating a code for them to live by.<ref>In-game document [[Belief]].</ref>

He decides that they should move inland and build their city around an old palace.

 ====June 2011====
-As the important events of 2013 come closer day by day, year by year, Mathias starts to hear the [[Sun Queen]]'s whispers in his sleep. The [[Sun Queen]] is urging him on, and Mathias senses that it will not take long before ''"the one"'' arrives. The [[Solarii]] toil in [[Sun Queen]]'s name, ''"building a city from all that she has brought to the island, torturing and sacrificing in her name"''. Mathias feels that not only he longs for escape from the island, but all of what is on [[Yamatai]] and around him: ''"the wrecks, bodies, and squalor."'' He believes that if he is able to bring back the [[Sun Queen]], it all will vanish in an instant ''"and like the sun rising anew, she will bathe all the land and seas with her light, burning away everything."'' Mathias would then ''"emerge from this scorched earth... reborn and pure"''.<ref>In-game document [[Lost]]</ref>

 Some time in June 1982 a plane crashes to [[Yamatai]], and among the survivors is a man named Mathias.
