The Spawn of Orduza and Syhlshei - Axodraharik

The Axodraharik and Axokari were latecomers to Qadal. Their origins are rooted in Voryndal, where the legend of their creation and early tribulations is recounted. For the purposes of comprehension in Qadal, there fundamentals are simple. Orduza created the Axokari as her chosen Eshanic race, being enormous in scale and powerful. Syhlshei then created nothing but withheld her power to support the Axokari and Orduza when necessary. This status quo endured for centuries, until the Axokari themselves became the agents of their own destruction. Feuds and battles broke out among them which disturbed Orduza. Syhlshei came forward to suggest a subordinate race, crafted from her powers, which could serve the Axokari and temper their anger. Orduza accepted and the Axodraharik were born into existence, bearing some elements of the Axokari in appearance but unique unto themselves as desired by Syhlshei. These two races operated in coexistence for generations, until the downfall of Orduza and ouster of Syhlshei signaled terrible revolution. A great darkness fell over them, which is sufficient introduction to explain everything until their departure from Voryndal to Qadal.
Everything changed during the 1400s, during the Twilight era. During this time the nascent Empire of Corgastor was struggling to survive, and in Othos the Eurobian empire wouldn't arrive for over a century still. In faraway Axoggan the Aemar that had lived there for centuries in servitude finally rebelled. They were led by a woman named Elyna, who herself had been a slave like her fellows. She had attempted to escape by boat from Axoggan but became hopelessly lost in the great Gismyr. She was eventually saved when she came upon a ship in the isolated ocean. It was the fabled ship of Yaalon, himself one of the Ebal'eshan. He told her about the fall of the Axokri’hesma and the stone spear in which her spirit was kept. She returned to Axoggan with this knowledge, and in a Series of events too long to say here, she attained the spear and reawoke the Axokri’hesma. Awake, she looked in horror at the world her children had created. A paradise built on blood and suffering.
With her return, the Axokari who had been disillusioned by the new regime returned to her, or those who had been pressured into captured her spirit to begin with. This ignited a civil war between the traitorous Axokari who wished to maintain their ill-gotten paradise and those loyal to the Axokri’hesma. The war decimated the continent and those living on it Axodraharik and Aemar alike. Once it was over, the Axokri’hesma chose to destroy it all, leaving no trace of that horrid place. The Axokari that survived fled to the winds, some ending up in Qadal and others elsewhere in Voryndal. The Axodraharik left in exile by way of a great fleet, taking every surviving ship and moving east, where it was fabled that the Aemar of Axoggan had once come. The Aemar of that place either accompanied them or made their own way in the world. The Axokri’hesma chose to remain there, watching over the ruins of Axoggan to ensure that none of the Axokari could return and that it remain forever destroyed, a symbol of the folly of pride. Legend says that Elyna remained there with her, remaining vigilant and ever ready.
Beyond that time the history of the Axodraharik merges with that of Nevan, becoming one in the same for over 2,000 to follow. The Axodraharik arrived there and used their power of Eshara granted to them by the Axokri’hesma to subdue the native population and establish a Axodraharik theocracy. It survived, in one form or another, until the 3000s. It collapsed in the early 3000s after a dramatic Series of conflicts around the islands and was replaced by a confederation of republics and merchant kingdoms. The original onslaught against the Axodraharik was fierce, but they endured the storm. In the post-theocracy era of Nevan, the Axodraharik retain a superior social status, jealously maintained by their elite. They are now a regular, if not still mysterious part of life in Qadal.
