History of Ezqotia

Oral stories pollute the history, but tangible conception of the minor goddess Masyla can be found at this time with crude stone temples, and an uprising population in half-breeds and looser soul magic material. While halflings can be traced prior, it seems this was the period they were taking more notice. It is unsure what powers, promises, or contact this spirit entity had with its cults, but changes can be seen as history passes that she was not a happy or blissful goddess, nor one welcomed by all. Before history was stable across many accessible cultures, much of her relics were torn apart and questioned, and its theoretical halflings may have easily gone from a short period of reverence to one of strict discrimination.

Kayotia was becoming more ripe with violence, as the Rekettan-to-human contact running widespread and more intense than most regions, and foreign boat trades caused more common stirs with ancient civilization. Kingdoms rose and burned, trust was thin, and pirates could be employed. While forts were stronger and better communicating in other regions, Kayotia was ripe with bloodshed and scattered ruins from people that fought with ambitions like they may own it all one day, rather than settling for shared kingdoms and ideals.

During some calming periods with human rivalry, the reketta of Kayotia doubled down on in-fighting once higher powers were established across several kingdoms in the west, and tribes too docile or weak to be concerned with. Traders and gulf pirates made some small use of the conflict, and history was taking shape when one queen poisoned her husband to get to power, and began to dominate...

Similar to Basillua, the empire is still curious and prodding at other lands. After a couple years of distant surveying off fleets, there is a fleet that lands, captures some local Reketta, and Taur, then leave with only two encampments set for recon. This later develops into interogating the natives, and the start of a new trade through the Taur people...

The Taur people that were freed, had learned many things through people of the trade systems, and more open interaction with the south-eastern feudal kingdom. Including a misunderstanding of the gods of love, and harvest, and they combined the two in great worship to Sytiha as their main goddess to the point where she actually appeared, if asking for some self-sacrifices. They mingled more with mountain cousins that appeared rather different, especially after the trade contrasts, slowly homogenizing some slight ethnic groups.

The South-eastern K'mosian kingdom began getting sea sieged by the Rekettan empire. Attacks were distant, and sparse for the starting years, but casualties rose as cannons would take random bombing runs at village shorelines. Somewhere in the following time, raids picked up from Ank'shii conflicts. They determined to place more of their forces west to combat the more physical threat, when near the end of the Sfixian king's reign by his old age, Captain K'thoki "Anchor-Tail" launched her land forces and quickly cut through the eastern part of the kingdom, where she became queen of the region. However, her reign was only a decade long, as unrest stirred and steady pressure from the Ank'shii ended up causing a revolution, and the new king would be a human for the first time in many years.

Orcs began to be one of the first more widely recognized nations that ruled under a system more free than a parliament. This was confusing to off-land orcs, but was making progress in the archipelago as a method of care, and preventing some of the greedier rulers they had. After a few years of ironing out the guidelines and ideals, they began redirecting old taxing systems to care for mineral distribution, magic institutions, etc.

A fleet from the Turro'ki side discover the island Taurs were stowed away on. They reintroduce them, but their entry back into the republic is more 2nd-class - and they are quite naive compared to the advances of the rest of them. Laws are in place to reconsider meat processing, but only for the weak, ill, or in-bred. They are closely guarded and almost enslaved in an effort for protection.

Magic for some time during tech progress, and political strife, had gone ignored in much understanding and was even losing some grounds and progress. During this period, scholars reinvested much time and academic thought into reintroducing magic with their devices, electricity, and machines. Much of this took place mostly on Basillua, but the effect carried around, with transported commodities making use of the now widely sold trade of dragon remains.

A gas planet is spotted that would make for an ideal planet if developed better. Work begins to accelerate building a crust and volcanic system from far away launched vessels.

Orcs take official claim to Photia as a tradeworld ripe for extracting minerals, and stabilize the terraforming process to remain in a way that will richly continue producing for trade. It is excused from any external conflicts of interest, and is not considerable as a harboring zone, or warring turf to be won.
