This is the source of the local term to have "found an Exis Paper", which is used to refer to people who say things that seem out of place, or absurd. Besides these fragments, the only physical remnant of Exis that exists today is "The Exis Fish-Tree Farm", a small establishment on the coast of Marty, near [[Shepenor]], that was supposedly originated and run single-handedly by Exis himself until the time of his death.

-Of course, Lord Exis is most famous for his construction of the [[Army of Whunn]], the job he was appointed to do by [[King Harandraff the Great|King Harandraff]] in the first place. The army was supposed to raid the town of Bute as punishment for the publication of ''King H. is a Ninny and So's His Family Too''. Under his own initiative, Lord Exis focused the training of his army on the Fine Art of Censorship, teaching them how to edit any potentially offensive written documents they should come across. The soldiers were given scissors and charcoal for the removal and subsequent destruction of any undesirable text along with their usual weaponry. This special training often was given at the expense of normal training, so when the time came to march upon the town, the army was extremely skilled at editing documents but completely incompetent as an actual army. Finding the town of Bute unconquerable due to the fact that the gates were closed and they couldn't get in, the soldiers proceeded to get extremely drunk, and ran about dumping peoples' possessions on the ground. This led to the extremely popular holiday known as [[Boxing Day]].
