II. Myth and Lore of the Second Age

A. Survivors of Troatia and the Coming of the Wildemen

    Aedyn, who was the chief commander of Galgor's armies removed to Zizurot just before the Fall of Troatia and there he became a king and secured the Troatian refugees in Zizurot into a kingdom.  Thane, who was one of Galgor's minor sons, escaped the Fall by taking his ship west to Darlynnion, and there, also, he became a king and founded, from the refugees, a kingdom.  Those Troatians that escaped into Gulgahlla were lost to history, as no proof exists today of their culture or presence.  Galgor, himself, became a leader in Nufatroatia (though he refused to be called a king), after Galgor's death in 89 II, at the age of 470, he continued to be worshipped by many Troatians as the sea god, and the name of Galgor persisted in the Troatians' myth and folklore well into the VIth age. Galgor's sister's son, Anari became the first king of Nufatroatia and he made Decoree his capital in 135 II

    Several decades after the Second Age began, a people appeared in the North called the Wildemen, for they had crude rites and customs compared to the Dosterrans and Troatians.  The Wildemen were fair in skin and tall in height.  Some grew little facial hair and all had dark eyes.  Many regarded them as Nephilim-Human half breeds, some said that they were original Bergarians that came before Namba did and had lived in the shadows for millennia, and some said that the Wildemen were people who had escaped Dosterras during the Nephiti occupation (one theory put forward by modern anthropologists suggests that the Wildemen were Troatian colonists who had reverted to barbarianism).  Whatever the case, several diverse Wildemen tribes appeared in the North near where Diordal had been (Diordal had been leveled by the seraphs following the Battle of Anibak).  One group went up into the icy regions of the world and started a kingdom there named Ingrionia (which translates similar to Hyperborea) another group moved below the tree-line and became woodland hunters.  And a third, who were the swarthiest and largest removed into the southwest, they worshipped the demons and modeled their culture from the Nephilim.

B. The Mission of Feldoran and the Division of the Wildemen

    In the year 71 II Aniba sent Feldoran the third son of Uisyn, son of Eriodole son of Feola and Elris, who was the son of Gandervan son of Nimkuin son of Oreon son of Orlyn son of Aniba, into the Far North to tell the Wildemen of the Empire and to cease their worship of the Demons.  In 74 II Feldoran came upon a Wildemen tribe (the tribe that worshipped the demons) and told them of he Empire and of Yahleohym, the master of Bergary.  Some listened to Feldoran and became God-fearing men and joined Feldoran.  However, many were enraged and killed Feldoran and his followers.  That Wildemen tribe called themselves to arms and descended south to Dosterras (which was by now only the chief city of the Empire).  The Mehtkorl and their commander High Prince Gillrian (Grandson of Giljorrean) met them there and the Wildemen raid failed.  After a small battle the Wildemen tribe (whom the people in Dosterras named the Ammannai [men of evil]) fled to their homeland and then many built great ships and fled west across the sea.

     During this same time, the people who lived in the ice realm of Ingrionia could not find food enough to start cities, and these matters worsened greatly after a very harsh winter in 97 II -98 II.  Many of people of Ingrionia left the ice realm to go south, below the tree-line, in search of game.  The wood-folk who lived in the boreal forests were opposed to the invasion and fought bitterly to defend their home.  All the Ice Wildemen were forced to leave Ingrionia, due to continual severe winters and soon war ensued between the Wood Wildemen and the Ice Wildemen.   The Ice Wildemen were vastly outnumbered by the Wood Wildemen and had to flee into the east where game was abundant and competition scarce.  But soon the wood-folk moved into the east as well, and war erupted once more.  One of the Ice Wildemen, named Ello, became a great leader of his people and led the Ice Wildemen into battle victorious countless times.  However, soon the Ice Wildemen (Ellohians they were called after their leader) were again over whelmed and the only place left to flee to was the Eastern Continent.  And Ello had ships built and during the winter of 105 II the Ellohians left to the East Continent and out of the memory and records of the people of Allyanna.  The wood-folk (or Northmen) spread into all the land north of the Empire.

C.  The Naissance of the Truefaith and the Mehtkorl Protectorate

      The High Prince of the Mehtkorl; whose name was Sanuus, son of Gillrian, son of Kaloryn, son of Giljorrean; came to Aniba in his court in Dosterras in 147 II asking martial law on the heathen Northmen.  Aniba was disturbed at Sanuus's request and went up into the mountains of east of Dosterras called the Keshmelts.  There, Aniba spent many days fasting and praying to Yahleohym.  By and by, Aniba returned to his court and called upon Sanuus the High Prince;  Aniba forbade Sanuus to invade the North or to declare any martial law.  "We are the sole keepers of the true faith in Yahleohym, Sanuus," said Aniba, "The only way that we can spread the truth is through love, not through the force of the sword.  Let us make our faith the envy of the Northmen.  For they are fickle and need a solid grounds on which they may stand."  Sanuus agreed with Aniba's decision and immediately they began the construction of the Truefaith.  No sacred books or doctrines existed from which to govern the faith from, and Aniba worried that a cult could overtake the North just as polytheism had overtaken Troatia in the first age.  On the fourth day of September in 149 II, two seraphim appeared at the gates of Dosterras requesting sacred entrance.  Aniba and Sanuus recognized the seraphim and descended through the Citadel to the gate.  Aniba held a large banquet in the seraphim's honour and gave them crowns of ginkgo laurel.  "Why is it, o heavenly brethren, that messengers from The Most High reach these halls?"  Aniba asked the taller seraph that night. 

    "Anaumibau, oifeni ox lamuik, yahweleohoym, et riktorikt is seeni is huci" the seraph held out a scroll and thus did the other.  Aniba received the scrolls as well as explicate instructions to hold their contents in the highest regard.  Aniba and Sanuus read and reread the scrolls times beyond count and made many copies to distribute through the Empire.  The two texts were named the Doctrine of the Faith and the Laws of Man and Beast, both of the original copies were kept in the vaults of the Citadel as precious relics of Yahleohym.  Aniba regrouped the Mehtkorl in the spring of  150 II and rededicated them to the protection of the Truefaith.  Aniba set the South lands of the empire under the protection of the High Prince of the Mehtkorl (Sanuus), who set up a headquarters in the city of Eisken on the River Ghursh and called his realm the Mehtkorl Protectorate (Aronterd).

D. The Long Winter and Aftermath That Followed

      The long winter was said to have started in September of the year 201 of the second age.  The River Ghursh froze over just north of the Citadel and all the waters further down stream shrank to a inadequate trickle.  Sand from the desert filled the dry banks of the River in Aronterd and the Mehtkorl (which was now lead by Sanuus's son Marru) was forced to remove east to the dry brown banks of the Mairfaun River.  There they built a town called Mazadu.  Frost killed most of the standing crops in Letonia and snow destroyed miles and miles of countryside.  Many oxen and camels froze to death in their barns and farmers were forced to uproot their families to stay out the winter in the Dosterras Citadel.

      In Nufatroatia, the kingdom of King Lynke (grandson of Anari) encountered a long, hot, and dry summer.  Many forest fires erupted in the hills east of Decoree.  Some of the Mountainfolk escaped into Aronterd, where some joined the Aronterdi Mehtkorl and others became nomadic shepherds (The Mountainfolk who moved into Aronterd were called Ghams after their patron god Ghamo).  Some Troatians that lived in Decoree and Haraudlien moved into the forest country south of Decoregent and formed many loose tribes that still held Lynke as sovereign.  No records exist of the effects of the Long Winter in Zizurot, or Darlynnion, but the nations in Allyanna hold it to be one of the worst famines ever recorded.  After the winter ended in May of 202 II the River Ghursh and the River Allyn flooded their banks and sent raging water across the farming fields.  That spring and summer were particularly rich, worldwide, but with the bounty also came disaster.

      The coming of the dragons is a topic that, to this day, has been held in tight controversy.  It was believed, at the time of their coming, that the dragons were monsters which Keorlan the Black-king of Diordal had had bred in the darkness and that they escaped the foul kingdom before its demise at the hands of the Seraphim.  However, the fossil record has given up evidence that dragons existed for hundreds of millennia prior to the second age.  But we do know that during the summer following the Long Winter dragons were first encountered by the civilized men of Bergary.  Hundreds terrorized the northern country-sides and great men of renown were slain in their desperate attempts at freeing their homelands.  Several heroes did emerge in these days for they had found weaknesses and used their own secrets to bring these fell beasts to death but few of the farmer folk of the Mannish countryside stood any chance against these winged fiery foes. Several flocks of dragons crossed the Great Desert three years after the Long Winter and came upon the peasant villages in Decoregent.  King Lynke sent Thebloc son of Jirdrust, Mayor of Haraudlien, on his fastest white horse across the Great Desert to speak as an envoy to Aniba in Dosterras that January.  Thebloc and Aniba counseled for many weeks before the decision was reached to unite the armies of the Empire and Nufatroatia against the dragons.  Lynke led the armies of Nufatroatia north from Decoree in April of 206 II.  The following October they met with the Mehtkorl and Citadel Guard at Dosterras and continued north into the forest countries.  A man named Azer Nahida had been a farmer and pig keeper in the town of Nugatal, which lay in the Keshmelt mountains.  He had become a great hunter and was respected throughout the region for his knowledge of the ways of beasts and birds.  It was he who was most skilled in the art of dragon slaying.  The armies of Nufatroatia and of The Empire came into the Keshmelt mountains seeking his instruction.  But when Aniba and Lynke sent scouts ahead of them to find the route to the village they returned saying this "The villagers do not want us to come into their humble town they ask that we meet with Azer Nahida in the forests and not enter."  Lynke was enraged when he heard this and cursed the men of that village.  "We have come many thousands of leagues to help free them from these serpents and yet they defy us and deny us shelter!  Who do they think they are?  Do they not know that I am Lynke king of Nufatroatia?  And that I ride with The Emperor himself?"  Aniba took the villagers plea to heart and ordered his men to go into the forests.  But hate came upon Lynke's heart "I am the King of Nufatroatia and these peasants will remember that!"  So he ordered his troops to prepare to enter the village.  He robed himself in his finest furs and donned his shining amour.  And with his army he made ready to take the village.  Aniba warned him to stop but Lynke's mind was set.  As the Troatians neared Nugatal the found the way shut by lines of villagers with shields that blocked the road.  A man came forward and approached Lynke.  He wore a tall hat adorned with feathers and he had a long black beard.  "Go! In the name of Yahleohym!  We cannot take in such a large amount of men into our homes.  Please turn back!"  But Lynke had a hateful heart and knew that his soldiers needed food and shelter.  He stopped his horse and drew his sword and with the army of Nufatroatia behind him he plowed through the lines of unarmed men and entered the Nugatal.  The soldiers broke into the storehouse and looted the huts of the families, they stole chickens and crops and burned most of the village down.  Meanwhile the Mehtkorl and Citadel Guard descended down a mountain valley and came upon Azer Nahida as he was running down a forest path away from the village.  He told Aniba of what Lynke and the Nufatroatians had done and he was come over by rage.  Aniba rallied his forces and sent them up the cliff roads and into the town.  Aniba ordered his men to find Lynke and bring him to him.  The Mehtkorl and Citadel Guard dispersed throughout the streets putting out fires and tending to the wounded until the High Prince Marru found Lynke, captured him and brought him before Aniba.  Aniba cursed Lynke and his country,  "Your house and your country will never again have one king.  They will be alienated and divided until a leader humble and worthy enough has the strength to mend their wounds.  And I curse you Lynke, son of Anuru, son of Anari of the house of the Sea-Kings,  you will never know true happiness as long as greed, hate, and selfishness is in your heart."  And then Aniba abandoned Lynke alone in the Keshmelt mountains with his hands bound.  He was discovered a few days later by a soldier of his army and he ordered them to return to their country by another road.

    Aniba, Marru and Azer Nahida left the Keshmelt mountains that month and with Azer's skill and expertise the armies drove out the dragons from the countryside.  In some villages in northern borders of the Empire, dragons were domesticated and used as beasts of burden and hunting companions.  In time some dragons were incorporated into the armies of the Mehtkorl, but not the Citadel Guard.

E. The Sundering of the Troatians

Soon after King Lynke returned to Decoree he fell ill and was come over by a ferocious fever.  His hair fell out and he went into violent rages howling and screaming in the night.  He sent his priests to burn offerings before the statues of the Troatian gods and told every man in the city to pray to them to heal their king.  His sons (whose names were Leoton, Zirkin, and Artiriz) came to his bed side.  "My sons," said the king, "I am afraid that I am dying, I leave my realm in the hands of Leoton, that he may keep it united and under order."  An envoy of Darlynnion arrived the following week.  Tantura the son of Thane (son of Galgor) was king of Darlynnion; he asked for aid in a war that recently erupted between he and the king of Zizurot (who was Dugar son of Aedyn) over ownership of various trade routes.  King Lynke sent his finest soldiers and all three of his sons to Nanzorta, the capital of Darlynnion.  The Nufatroatian longboats landed on the Darlynnion coast and the soldiers carried the boats across the mountains and meadows to Nanzorta and the golden harbors of the king.  A great fleet was assembled over the next three years.  King Tantura led the flagship at the front of  the fleet and Leoton sailed his flagship just off the starboard side.  The armada crossed the great expanse of sea between Darlynnion and Zizurot that summer and saw no sight of any land until they reached the cape known as Iora.  The town at the cape held most of the Zizurot navy and a great battle began the next morning.  The ships of Zizurot endured the Darlynnioni onslaught and kept the ships out of the quays for most of that week but Zirkin was able to rally some of the local Ammannai feral folk to aid the Darlynnioni.  Around midday on the eighth day of fighting, Zirkin and his army of Ammannai mercenaries descended on Iora from the hills outside of town.  By the end of the next day the Darlynnioni forces had taken the city and burnt down the town hall.  Tantura thanked Zirkin for rallying the Ammannai and set about employing vast amounts of their strongest men and youths into his armies.  From Iora, Tantura and the Nufatroatian princes attacked other cities in Zizurot.  Each time they used the help of their Ammannai hordes.  In 232 II Tantura's troops burst into the Zizurot capital of Tantuber, but Dugar's men met them within the city walls and a feud broke out.  An arrow, guided by aim or by fate struck King Tantura and the Darlynnioni were sent into retreat.  The armies scattered and the Princes of Nufatroatia were forced also to withdraw their men.  So they returned to the land of their father by the seas.  A hurricane overcame their armada as they were sailing home and Leoton's ship was lost beneath the surf so they returned to Decoree without the body of the heir to the throne.

  When the ailing King Lynke heard the news of his son's death he fell into deep, deep despair.  He cursed each of the Troatian gods by name then Yahleohym and finally he drank the wine of the baneberry which grows thick in the Mountains of Nufatroatia.  Immediately after the king had died, Artiriz and Zirkin began to quarrel over who now would become king over Nufatroatia.  Each soon seized portions of the army and brawls broke out in the streets of Decoree between their supporters.  Zirkin was badly wounded during one of these scraps, and was forced to retreat to a safer position.  In 234 II, he and his supporters withdrew to Haraudlien, in the south, where he had the locals crown him king of the Haraudlienites.  This allowed Artiriz, however, to claim complete lordship over the lands around Decoregent and he was crowned King of Shooss in 235 II (Shooss is thought to have come from the old Troatian word suzu which means youthful, referring to Artiriz, being the younger than Zirkin and lawfully not the true heir to Lynke's throne).  Immediately Zirkin ordered his to attack Decoree.  Transport vessels filled with Haraudlienite troops sailed north to the mouth of the River Ghursh.  The commander of Zirkin's forces name was Endorri and while the ships were unloading his feet got stuck in the deep mud of the delta swamps.  He sank up to his knees before anyone had noticed and their was nothing anyone could do to save him.  By the end of the day he had completely disappeared beneath the quagmire  That is why the marshlands at the mouth of the River Ghursh are sometimes called Endor, for Endorri commander of the Haraudlienites sank into the mud there.  The Haraudlienites, while half way to Decoree ran into the Ghamian villages in Aronterd.  The Ghams reacted violently to the oncoming force and put up enough of an opposition that the Shoossaic (meaning "of Shooss") armies had enough time to counter the Haraudlienite army near Mount Azraz.  The Shoossaic army proved victorious and the Haraudlienites eventually retreated.  However, neither Artiriz nor Zirkin was ever able to claim the unified throne of Nufatroatia.  So it was that everything Aniba had said to Lynke came true and the Nufatroatians became an alienated and divided people, ignored greatly by the civilized world.

F. Eðeldane the Great and His Visions of a Dosterran North

   In the far north, beyond the Northern-most borders of the Empire, the Wildemen who were commonly named the Northmen began to spread all across northern Allyanna and some clans even moved into and Mizrath and Asolea.  A kinfolk called the Norðrics were the first to build towns and to adapt metal working and farming.  These people also fished in the northern Vales of the River Ghursh, far up stream from Dosterras.  The Norðrics also were the first of the Northmen to make peaceful contact with the Empire.  Trade with Dosterras opened up vast amounts of knowledge and the Norðrics became a powerful tribe in the North.  Their chieftains wore swords made of iron and drank from glass cups.  They rode on fine Letonian horses and adorned themselves with wool clothing.  A great chief came to power in 253 II, named Eðeldane.  Eðeldane was educated in Dosterras as a child and he wished to expand Dosterran culture and the Truefaith throughout the North.  In his earliest missions to modernize the North he assembled a band of thirty-five huntsman to map various river courses and mountain paths in the area.  That effort turned out to be fruitless and futile.  The Truefaith also was not popular amongst the Norðrics, especially the idea that they were descended from the evil Nephilim.  But he did manage to found a university in the leading city of Florn Huin.  Eðeldane was not only a scholar, poet, and cartographer but also a military genius.  Several Northern tribes surrendered themselves to his chiefdom, including the Durots, the Kiveshok, and the Farsingas.  Artists and painters from Dosterras, Leto and Eisken were brought to Florn Huin to decorate the Castles and public houses.  Eðeldane was said to have employed Naine the brother of Marru and later the High Prince the Mehtkorl to train the Norðric military.

   Eðeldane died before his vision was complete.  His son Dimuir became the chieftain of Norðriclande in 304 II.  Dimuir abandoned most of his fathers projects and concentrated more on living in luxury.  In 319 II, the Farsingas under the mutineer, Daunga, rebelled against their Norðric oppressors.  The following year they entered Florn Huin, burnt the university and razed the city to the ground.  Dimuir and his court escaped into the polar north and were never seen in those parts again.

G. Daunga and the Rise of the Farsingas

   Daunga, who was often called the last of the Black-kings, supposedly had fiery red hair and yellow eyes.  He was a master of warfare and had trained under the army of Eðeldane in his youth.  Daunga, according to legend, always wore a black robe and had three crowns upon his head; one for the North, one for the Empire, and one for All the cosmos.  His hordes of murderous Farsingas descended upon Imperial cities beginning in 322 II.  High Prince Asiut (Son of Naine) of the Mehtkorl was defeated time and time again by these vile barbarians.  Daunga raided villages, burnt farms and in 333 II he crossed the Great Desert and attacked some of the Ghamic villages in Northern Shooss.  A combined effort of Shoossaic, Ghamic, Mehtkorl, and Mizrating (a tribe of Northmen in Eastern Allyanna) forces drove Daunga out of the south and pursued him as far as the plains of Dorsindaap in 357 II.  There, they were joined by the Citadel Guard and an honorable Kiveshok war party.  With these troops Asiut built a makeshift coalition.  Daunga also received new allies while his armies camped on the plains of Dorsindaap; Farsingentan dragon riders and cavalry join his ranks.  On November 28, 357 II,  Daunga assaulted Asiut's camp.  Asiut had a group of bowmen move forward onto a hill.  He countered Daunga's marches with lines of Mehtkorl and Ghamic foot soldiers, but as the battle unfolded, Daunga led a second charge on the camp.  Asiut knew of Daunga's plan and had set several hundred Mizrating soldiers concealed within a forest.  As Daunga charged past they ambushed the Farsingas while they were off their guard.  But this could not stop the string of Dauga's dragon riders, who arose far above the battlefield and onto the bowmen on the hill.  Asiut's infantry had already vanquished much of the Farsingas when the dragons' plunge began, so he shouted out to his troops to fall back and rescue the bowmen.  In the end Asiut was victorious and Daunga was killed on the battlefield, no one was ever able to recover his body.  The Farsingas went into a full retreat and Asiut chased them down and killed every last one of them.

     Daunga had had a cousin named Ulðulrod and he became the chief in 358 III.  The Farsingentan raids stopped after the Battle of Dorsindaap and The Empire recovered and returned nearly to the way it had been before.

  H. The Ammannai-Troatian War and the Conquests of Ulðulröetius ConkærusII

     After the Nufatroatian princes left Zizurot, King Dugar of Zizurot rallied what was left of his army and went into the wilderness.  There he found the famous Ammannai warlord, Jankuŀka.  King Dugar hired Jankuŀka and his mercenaries to join with the armies of Zizurot in an invasion of Darlynnion.  The army of Zizurot attacked Darlynnion in 305 II and thus the fighting continued on.  Both sides used tens of thousands of Ammannai soldiers in their ranks and after the war end in 339 II many of the Ammannai had migrated all across the Western Continent.  The son of Jankuŀka, Tateanu, became the chief of the Ammannai north of Zizurot.  He heard of what Daunga was doing in Allyanna at that time and wished for his people to surmount their Troatian overlords.  He built the first Ammannai city on Anterrann Hill and launched a combined Ammannai attack on Tantuber in the cold summer of 411 II.  Hundreds of Ammannai house slaves in Tantuber revolted against their Troatian masters and joined Tateanu's ranks.  The armies of Zizurot were able to hold back Taneanu and his Ammannai swarms temporarily, but they were not able to stop them.  All over Zizurot and then all over Darlynnion the wild savage Ammannai folk rose up against the Troatians.  The Ammannai burnt Tantuber to the ground in 453 II, and defeated the Zizurot army again in 471 II, in the Battle of Garro-Nati.  By 482 Zizurot had completely been overrun and all that were left of the Troatians there had also been removed from the map forever.  The Ammannai in Darlynnion also caused quite a stir and made Darlynnion's borders unsafe.  But the king of Darlynnion kept the Ammannai from overtaking the realm longer than did the king in Zizurot.

 

    The Empire was safe from Farsingentan attacks for an entire generation.  Asiut returned to the Citadel in full grandeur.  He was made a national hero and when he died in 412 II he was entombed under the Citadel Crown with Orrean, Giljorrean, and the Sons of Aniba.  Chief Ulðulred of the Farsingas was required to pay a tribute to the Empire every two years and he did so to the end of his days.  As did his heir whose name was Edenfort.  Edenfort became a powerful man in the North and gained many allies through clean and unclean interactions.  He waged a long war with Dadimyrra the queen of the Norðrics and learned from them the arts of bronze working (Daunga's warriors wielded weapons of wood and stone).  Edenfort died in 478 II and he was succeeded by his nephew Ulðulrod II.  Ulðulrod II mustered his uncle's Farsingentan armies and once again they descended upon the Empire.  Towns were sacked and forests were burned; no one was left to mourn for the dead.  In 502 II Edenfort lay siege to the Citadel itself.  Aniba led the Citadel Guard and Dusta son of Konit son of Asiut led the Mehtkorl. The siege waged for nearly two years before Aniba was forced to surrender the Citadel.  Dusta and the Mehtkorl escaped and they took Aniba to live in Eisken.  Uthulrod was crowned Emperor Ulðulröetius Conkærus II in Dosterras and claimed control over all of Allyanna and the domains of the Father-King.  Never, since the time of the Nephiti had an alien force occupied the Holy City.  The Mehtkorl were able to gather some Ghams and Shoossaics to their cause but they were never able to reclaim the Citadel, for the Dosterrans themselves had built it to be impregnable.  The last of the Citadel Guard withdrew from the plains near Dosterras in 532 II into Asolea.  Emperor Ulðulröetius Conkærus gained control of most of The Empire and captured lands in the North as well, forming the Farsingentan Empire.  Aniba and the Empire-in-exile was forced to give up fighting and they returned to the deserts.  Many of the Dosterrans of the Imperial countryside were conscripted into Ulðulröetius Conkærus' armies and were forced to carry out his depraved orders on their own kinsfolk.
