exile's
Banished person's possession
Exile's is the possessive form of exile—either a person banished from their homeland or the state of being banished.
It attributes something to that person or condition: the exile's longing for home, the exile's bitter years abroad.
The word can modify physical possessions, emotional states, or circumstances: an exile's meager belongings, the exile's perspective on their former country.
