Ohmreg
A powerful Kingdom on Sigom that rules over a large portion of land, and has been able to create Vassals out of other kingdoms former territories.
There had been many attempts in the earlier years in which both sides attempted to unify their differences either through diplomacy or conquest. However, with the Invention of copper entering the lands of Ohmreg from a distant kingdom, gave the Upper Ohmreg a lethal advantage. Initially through conquest, the Upper Ohmreg were able to subjugate and integrate the Lower Ohmreg into their society. Even before the discovery of copper, the Ohmreg have a history of taking much more than they needed. Much of the Canack River was originally settled by the Alogtarric Tribes who have inhabited it long before they arrived. Yet through power and expansionism, each tribe one-by-one was removed, forced to migrate to more distant and remote sections of the river, up until there was no where for them to go. The Ohmreg took advantage of the weak political sphere of the Alogtarric people, as the in-fighting for feeding zones allowed them to divide and conquer. In addition to the Alogtarric, are the Ribaultians, who have had their nearby ponds, rivers, and marshes assimilated by the Ohmreg's military. The Lower Ohmreg had a powerful ally, the Kingdom of Tranorn who had assisted them militarily and economically. The Tranorn had believed their causes to be more righteous and orderly than the Upper Ohmreg. When they had fallen, many aristocratic and people who aided them fled to the Kingdom of Tranorn cities. Ohmreg now united, had seized many of the border settlements between the Tranorn, who were unable to put up a long-scale fight due to their focus on The Unearthed and lacking Bronze metalworking. Some of the more recent conflicts had been with the Throjak tribes, as many tribes had been forced to act as a puppet state and swear fealty to the Pharoh himself. In addition, there has been some border disputes with the city of Yema, a trading port between the Sileen Alliance with both claim ownership of it.

History
Early Folken cultures were skilled hunters, who were able to contest and control their domains divided by familial lineages. They had a strong sense of origin and many believed they had ancestral ties to the gods who created the universe as a whole. Their quick adoption of most tools and technological breakthroughs gave them advantages over others who would seek to contest their local resources by having an upper-advantage through their equipment. Many of their Agrarian societies had stayed segregated from each other, and much of their earlier history involved division and separation of their people. Those who would lose these strifes often found themselves migrating outward, while having to start over, were often able to overpower the natural population of their new region with small losses. Nonetheless small kingdoms had formed as a conglomeration of agrarian proto-cities and roving bands of family groups. The largest and surviving groups where the Ohmreg Dynasty. They used to be divided between the Upper Ohmreg and the Lower Ohmreg, as the Canack River ran far west into the Abasadian Desert. Two different cultures had relied on the same river together, and had thus formed a bond yet kept their uniqueness separate. Both the Upper Ohmreg and Lower Ohmreg have the similar belief that Sigom and thus everything upon it, Is the creation of their deistic ancestors. When they had reproduced and died of old age, only one of their offspring would inherit their powers, the Pharaoh. In the early days, both the Upper and Lower Ohmreg followed separate dynasties from the original offspring of their great ancestors, and claimed they were the true original Pharaoh. This had always been a major strife and conflict between the two people, for the others who worshiped their pharaoh were being tricked under the guise of idolatry.There had been many attempts in the earlier years in which both sides attempted to unify their differences either through diplomacy or conquest. However, with the Invention of copper entering the lands of Ohmreg from a distant kingdom, gave the Upper Ohmreg a lethal advantage. Initially through conquest, the Upper Ohmreg were able to subjugate and integrate the Lower Ohmreg into their society. Even before the discovery of copper, the Ohmreg have a history of taking much more than they needed.

In addition to the Alogtarric, are the Ribaultians, who have had their nearby ponds, rivers, and marshes assimilated by the Ohmreg's military. The Lower Ohmreg had a powerful ally, the Kingdom of Tranorn who had assisted them militarily and economically. The Tranorn had believed their causes to be more righteous and orderly than the Upper Ohmreg. When they had fallen, many aristocratic and people who aided them fled to the Kingdom of Tranorn cities.

Religion
The official religion of Ohmreg is a complex system of polytheistic beliefs and rituals, which can often differentiate between different provinces mildly. It is centered around the Ohmregers believe that their ancient ancestors were deities who created Sigom, as well as life. Most believe the original number of ancestors were between six to ten, with each one having a different role or force in the creation of Sigom. The offspring of these deities would only be able to pass down their power to one offspring, called a Pharaoh, following a special lineage of descendants. This had created a unification, where they would act as a bridge between their ancestors and the people. However, in the early days a different denomination claimed a separate ancestor as the true pharaoh, causing much internal theological strife and tension. In the current climate, it is largely accepted that Totenic is the true chosen Pharaoh of their ancestors. The state currently dedicates an abundance of resources and manpower to religious rituals to appease and satisfy their ancestors.Population
