Post-Rain Displacement

Countless Ayonerrans lost their homes following the devastating Rain of Amaars (also known as the Deaf Fall). The Amaarionese dharaats and bahhrayms were especially affected. K'nksh's sudden appearance worsened the scene. The four-armed people attacked settlements and abducted select women as they pleased, forcing the Amaarionese to become nomadic.

People found refuge in the demi-god Qasim's Bridge Empire. The kingdom linked several crater cities with enormous, impenetrable black walls. Not even k'nksh dared to approach its perimeters. It is said the walls are made from the same material as the Pillars of the Eternal Sleep, bringing terror to the creaking folk. Yet, the Bridge Empire could support so much, and Qasim shut its doors to any newcomer.

Many fled the continent in hopes of a better life. Some bahhrayms went to the southern island of Tlanxeltli. The runaways deem protecting the Amaarionese from k'nksh their sacred duty and send every adult tonemaq to the mainland. The god-blessed warriors forge the weapons atop the Last Hand and save as many women as they can from the four-armed folk's grasp.

Others sailed towards the Northern Dividing Archipelago and the polar continent Hayanao. Levitation and higher resistance to extreme temperatures made bahhrayms at home in Hayanao's freezing peaks - the Nine Skies.

Dharaats sought refuge in the Northern Dividing Archipelago and the continent of Skneli. They brought four of Martyr Goddess Apor’s severed arms and built temples on top, while two arms remained in Amaarion.

The Dayani ruler Shavleg felt for the refugees and gifted them the western lands. This gesture founded kingdoms of Firoz, Lazhvurd, Iyasp, Badakhsh and Zurkmukh in western Skneli. Their newly crowned golden dharaat kings wished to pay respect to their home. They sent second-born princes to Amaarion, in hopes of them visiting the goddess's two temples. The tradition has stayed strong to this day.

The Kingdom of Nikophsia welcomed dharaats with open arms. The foreigners swiftly integrated into the ever-diverse trading hubs. Numerous mixed-race families of dharaats, stagyars and dunyars formed throughout the years, resulting in nikophsi's creation.

Many Amaarionese dharaats view the fled population as weak-willed cowards who didn't value Apor's sacrifice. While some believe the goddess would have wished the best for her people, no matter the location.
