History

The world we were born in is unique; it is a beautiful, resourceful place yet full of chaos, treachery, and conflicts. The six nations, each ruled by a different monarch, make up the continent that is bounded by the enormous and azure Amazzi Ocean in the south, the Mer Sea in the north, the Hav Sea in the east, and the great Jaf Desert in the west.

The centrally placed Loistava is the most significant ancient land. It was the first kingdom ever to exist. In the beginning, these areas and their tribes allegedly engaged in resource-based conflict with one another. That's when a man named Morier Leighann of the Leighann clan arose to end these conflicts, bring peace, and live in harmony. The other clans cruelly injured him, but his strong will and loving heart gained him the sun god La's blessing. He established a kingdom and became the first Leighann to be sanctified. How did he subdue the tribesmen? According to the relics, he is claimed to have scorched the whole barbarous clan of the land with his one gaze, his piercing golden eyes like a smouldering fire, and no other Leighann ever held that power. Thus commenced a new Era, the era we now live in, the Morrier Era (ME). When Leighann came into being the one and only kingdom under the name Loistava, many desired to be one. Thus, four other kingdoms arose around it, each ruled by a clan that allied with Leighann: the Egur kingdom, ruled by the Egur clan in the north-west, the Utshani kingdom, ruled by the Utsha clan in the south-west, the Ostrov kingdom, ruled by the Trova clan in the south-east, and the Vagmur kingdom, ruled by the Vagmur clan in the east. The great five kingdoms ruled this continent.

Everyone at first feared and revered the Leighanns for receiving La's amazing endorsement. However, when the dangers subsided over time, the power waned and the age of border dispute emerged. Genocide became customary, wars grew regular, and migration and poverty became ubiquitous. When a farmer discovered gold on the territory of Ouro, there was a significant land battle between the Egur, Utshani, and Loistava. The three kingdoms fought over the golden land for many years. That dispute was resolved by Willard Fermi Leighann with his peace treaty, which granted each kingdom the equal rights to extract gold from Ouro.

The Ostrova and Vagmur battled over Loistava territory but were compelled to sign a border peace treaty with Loistava in exchange for trade and commerce. The most tranquil pronouncements were made by King Willard, the beneficent. Despite fighting for territory and riches, none of them aspires to conquer or explore the vast Jaf desert. When King Willard sent a delegation on a mission to uncover Jaf's hidden history, the five kingdoms uncovered Inci, a fascinating matrilineal queendom. Willard intended to learn more about them, but the nobles who despised giving women authority voted against the king's proposal. As a result, the Inci Queendom remains a mystery.

There is still one more territory in which no kingdom wants to participate, the unclaimed land or Nek-asrof, which sits between Egur, Utshani, and the region of Ouro. Only Boswellia trees were growing there, and the area is incredibly similar to the desert. The population is lesser, and other kingdoms neglect them. Every map shows the area as unclaimed land. Even travellers avoided Nek-asrof since they believed the residents were thieves, murderers, beggars, or witches. Nevertheless in reality they are people who worked in mines and lived as slaves. King Willard wished to give the inhabitants of Nek-asrof citizenship and property rights, but an unfortunate came in the form of his assassin.

Nobody had the courage to speak up, despite the fact that everyone in the kingdom knew who was responsible for his assassin. His brother Logan Fermi Leighann became King of Loistava, but he and his offspring could not reign indefinitely because King Willard's sons were the real successors. The kingdom was told orally that the queen managed to flee with a princess, but Willard's concubines and their children were killed the next day when the king was assassinated. They even killed his prostitute lover and the bastard son. Loistava's queen Catherine Willard Leighann escaped to her native Utshani kingdom. She was the daughter of a duke in Utshani, and after the two domains signed a peace treaty, King Willard wed Catherine to seal their alliance. She was exceedingly clever and proficient at archery, and her ideas elevated her above the other concubines. She qualified easily to rule Loistava as its queen. However, she was unable to produce a crown prince, and none of the concubines was able to provide the king with the ideal Leighann heir. The queen and the princess discretely left the nation the night of the assassination and never returned. Princess Helga Willard Leighann was just five years old at the time.

Hearing of the catastrophe in Loistava, Egur kingdom, which also lost a princess (Willard's concubine), the peace treaty and doors at Loistava were closed, as was the case with Utshani and Vagmur. The Ostrov kingdom, which supported Logan, stood by them. It is said that Logan helped the first prince of Ostrova murder his father, the late king and take his position. The first prince gave his sister Alice Trova as a concubine to Logan.

Ouro's territory was taken over by Logan, who then sealed it. The three neighbours live in continual fear of conflict at their borders or war. Logan was allegedly attempting to reveal the Inci Queendom's mysteries, according to another rumour.

Logan has transformed the magnificent land into a chaotic nightmare ten years later. The kingdom is threatened by wars, hardship, and unemployment. Men were compelled to serve the army and labour in the Ouro mines. Many nobility lost their dignity and fortune, women lost their freedom, the poor were denied access to education and medicine and slave trades and prostitution became the major sources of revenue. The kingdom's prestige suffered, and the royal family's fate began.

Present day, the evil rule in Loistava continues and the kingdom awaits a miracle like, in the past, they pray that one of king Willard's sons return from death and then save the country and his people from all misery. It has to happen by the prophecy left by his ancestors, one will return.

"Master, Is there any new finding about the Inci land where the women rule?" a student in the history class inquired in doubt, the old man with a long white beard and one eye patch, who is their teacher faced him and continued; "Well, two years after the rule of Logan Fermi Leighann, the troop he sends to study and form an alliance with Inci Queendom returned with a good news,"

"What good news?" students with their sparkling curious eyes asked

"The Inci Queen accepted his alliance and thus sent a young princess, Kaira Enozi to Loistava kingdom under one demand, to make her the queen,"

"Whoa!"

"Yeah, Kaira Logan Leighann was the princess of Inci queendom and now the queen and mother of the crown prince of Loistava,"

"Then what is the prophecy you mentioned? Who is going to return from death?"

"The prophecy was by Morrier Leighann on his death bed....." his words merged with the tremble of wooden wheels on the bare muddy road. The half-ruined school and two or three students shivered at that roaring sound of expensive chariots. They peeked out of the school, and the golden-white carriages pulled by healthy shining black horses rushed through the poor land, forward.
