Kemsar

All rulers and counties have Kemsar as their religion. What is interesting about it is they worship the moon and the river Iteru. It's interesting because the river had dried up for unknown reasons which caused the geography to change from fertile and lush lands into todays desert and drylands. Then in to wake of the Frodbrokna the light-giving moon Iah began to shatter and eventually Iah became Inpiah "The Dead Moon". The Kemsari no longer pray for Its protection and with the religious and societal turmoil from the drying up of Iteru, the Kemsari has cast away the questions of morality as their lives became consumed with the struggle for survival.

Cultures Separate pageKemsariat(For now).Alewui kemsari, Ran kemsari, Aljibal kemsari and Almajun kemsari. The cultures share the same heritage, language, ethos, and two of their three traditions, the two being Tribal unity and Staunch Traditionalists. The third one is for Alewui City Keepers, Ran and Almajun Dryland Dwellers, and for Aljibal its Mountain Homes. All Kemsari is Nomadic and fight the dangerous climate, fauna, and between themself in order for them to drink blood to sustain themselves.

Religion For centuries, the Kemsari worldview centered around two primordial sibling-deities. The first was Iah, Aervalr, bringer of light at night and vanquisher of darkness when the Sun needed to rest. The second was Iteru, the great River, giver of food and transporter of men all throughout the land. If the people were moral and kept these spirits placated, then they would continue to prosper for eternity. But without explanation, Iteru dried up and Iah shattered into a multitude of pieces. The Kemsari people panicked and wondered if they had done something wrong. But questions of morality fell to the wayside, as their lives became consumed with the struggle for survival.

Vindeoinsm is an organized faith centered in the duchy of Dér Vindeon. Nobody is sure what spirit drives the minds of its followers. Nobdy is sure what they worship. Nobody even knows where the word "Vindeon" comes from. All they know is that it is connected to the Tower, that primordial monstrosity of cyclopean stone that has sat in the desert wastes before any man set foot there. They obsess over it, and any Towers like it around the world. It is not known what they want to do with these towers, but nobody wants to find out.

Kemsari is unreformed and is the religion for the rest of Kemsar. The native faith of the Kemsari people, the kemsar religion is naturalistic and focused on worship of the light-giving moon Iah and the life-giving river Iteru. However, the drying up of Iteru and the shattering of Iah during the Fordbrokna brought with it both religious and social upheaval, and the lands were plunged into chaos. Attempts to resolve this confusing world led to a new, more cynical faith. iah is now Inpiah, the Dead Moon. The Kemsari no longer prays for Its protection, but that its decaying corpse does not land on them and destroy what little world they have left.

History Kemsari Empire - The ruler of the empire is referred to as the Kemtahput(from the Gate of Jackals description) First interregnum Second interregnum - Power shifted from the south(Almajun) to the Central(Ran) Kemsari, which gave the consequences of the south gaining the reputation of being backwater. The centralization of Dederak caused groups of Kemsari to become discontent and wander north for new land, and forming new cities, meeting the aboriginal >arasadari which they enslaved. They became distinct from the rest of the Kemsari and had minimal oversight from the imperial government in Dederak.

Battle of the Broken Chain - It was the slave uprising of the Amsari people who caused the empire to fall in almost immediately after 'the Prohpet' had a vision. The destruction was in the year 201. The fighting between the Amsari slaves and Ran Kemasi empire the Amsari used the power Wehydka'ha to dry the river valley and rerouted it north and by so putting an end to the Kemsari empire.

Geography Kemsar is located in the west of Sarradon. Kemsar is a land of vast dunes and arid badlands with a few scattered oases. Due to it being the home of the Wealth Kemsari Empire, it has many ruins scattered across the scorching sands. In the northern parts is where the former river of Valora was running through before the Amsari rerouted the river depriving the land of water and floods. In the west there is a large mountain that severs as a natural barrier and has copper mines which have been important to the Kemsari. In the south Kamsar has mountains where the river Iteru flowed between, it is in these mountains where the tribes of Aljibal live. Beyond the southern mountains, lives the Almajun. This is represented with Desert, Desert Mountain and dryland terrain ingame.
