Lantern Empire

The empire of ʕʷōra (herwafter Vōra) was created from land the Thundererrs had conqeuered from Nama. Vōra soon became the Thunderers' stronghold, and took over Altotta. In the late 3560s, a female military warlord named P created the nation of Ḳotagʷurî (hereafter Kotagwuri) with its largest settlement at around 42N. P was the Khulls word for schoolteacher, and she had been trained to be a schoolteacher in early life. The name is pronounced as just a single consonant with no vowel. She used her unusual name to modify words by adding a /p/ in front of them. e.g. the name of the planet, Lîġʷă in Khull,s would be Plîġʷă if she took over the planet.

Crystals were welcome in Kotagwuri, which was unusual in Vora. P had attacked Nama just as Nama was winning a war against Kava in the south. Her philosophy, Pism, was very welcoming to outsiders, and proved popular from its very begiunning, and Kotagwuri soon became the largest nation in Vōra, whereas before it had been 2nd largests.

In the early 3700's, immigrants of mixed Laban and Thunder descent settled a coastal area in an organized, preplanned effort. They stole all their territory from the Crystals. The Crystals called these people Wamians. Both the Crystals and the Thunderers hated the Wamians.

Two nations from within Kotagwuri broke away in the early 3700s. THey formed an alliance with each other, and both were led by power hungry dictators. The eastern nation, Ḳíkòlarisò, was led by a dictator named Boé who was hated by all other nations. He was both mentally and physically ill. Kikolariso invited refugees such as the Crystals and even the Xʷugâ to move to Kikolariso, because he wanted to grow his population immensely even if it was made up of people who would have a hard time getting along. However, very few people moved to Kikolariso.

The western nation was called ʕʷēga (hereafter Vēga), and its dictator was even more power-mad than Boé. His name was Pompomim (he was Pabap) and he believed in a cult religion that told him to break away and set up his own nation. Unlike Boé, he was at first well liked in other nations, but in 3719 he launched a military assault on Kotagwuri, and managed to kill more than 5% of their population. Not only that, but he had mainly attacked children and women, the most defenseless people of all, and had attempted to kidnap many of them back into Vēga to force them to work for him. Eventually the P army, led by JDS, drove Pompomim out of Kotagwuri (JDS province) and he returned to Vēga to find his own people armed and in revolt against him, and he was killed immediately and Vēga was annexed back to Kotagquri. Kikolariso remained an independent nation but never gained any significance, but Pompomim's cult died down as the Kotagqurians invaded the land and forced the citizens to convert to the Gaze religion.
