Nations/Lemurians

Lemurian states or more accurately the Post-Classic Lemurian states refers to a number of Cikamu states during the Post-Classic period. The Post-Classic is mainly caused by three factors: First is the creation and spread of Cikamu Monotheism which spread to all Cikamu expect for the Yevit. Then, Urenomis, also known as the Sizik Empire, collapsed, leading into a bunch of successor states. And finally, the introduction of many foreigners into Cikam: Sudean, Hawaiki, Inazuma, and Amihan soon spread and eventually controlled most of Cikam, leaving only the Ezoa and Udei as the last independent native states.

Urenom
Urenom itself was a mess, Urenom’s population was decimated, it’s southern regions, below the lake, became rainists like Vonkufir, while the rest became Zado Monotheists. Esduran sank under the lake, while both Gossigawbo and Cheswa were either destroyed or in extreme decline. They were eventually conquer by Inazuma and Sudean. Outside of the lake region, Urenom adopted Esduran influence.

Sinom
Sinom was historically influenced by the city of Cheswa, after the collapse, Sinom separated into warring warlords, there were only 3 warlords left and almost United, until Sudean came and destroyed them. Sinom also adopted Rainist monotheism from Ku Ocas, though they are not zealous about it.

Fenom
Fenom separated as a very stable kingdom, its first king became monotheist by choice and spread it to Fenom. There was a small pagan revolt but it was crushed, Fenom believed in staunch Zado monotheism so it become isolationist. In later times, Inazuma conquered it and that’s where it remains to this day. Fenom takes influence from the city of Gossigawbo, which has a militaristic culture, however, Fenom only uses its military for defense and rebellion stamping.

Ziliv Uro
Ziliv Uro was a very zealous Zaps monotheist kingdom that composed the region of Phadelha. Ziliv Uro was one of the earliest provinces to split off from Urenomis and treats monotheism quite seriously. They were not that unified as many of the Ziliv states were competing against each other, not only that but they were with Ziliv Acu, Henemic lands, and some Chemsi states in Sinom. They were eventually conquer by Sudean.

Ziliv Acu
Ziliv Acu was one of the later provinces to split off, they know that trying to save Urenomis was pointless. They also believe in a form of Zado monotheism that’s very different, it even has its own holy book based on ancient plays. However, due to this unique religion, they had been at war with Ziliv Uro for quite a while, though constantly defeating them as Ziliv Acu was more unified. Ziliv Acu takes influence from the city of Esduran, one of the few states to do so, as such, Ziliv Acu promotes a scholarly culture. They were eventually conquered by Sudean, later Amihan, and finally is currently controlled by Inazuma.

Zava
Zava was the first monotheist Ziliv Kingdom, being the inspiration and originator of the SkyKnights. They unfortunately fell quite fast during the Post-Classic, being a shadow of its former self, caused by Civil War between factions using SkyKnights against each other. They were eventually annexed by Sudean, though they were never conquer by Urenomis, being the only Ziliv region to do so.

Henemic Provinces
The Kar Amshan Province completely fell apart, this province was influence by the city of Cheswa, a city known for trade. However many cities were fighting amongst each other and adopted Tezienic monotheism from Eastern Henemic people influencing them. They were one of the earliest regions to be conquered by Sudean and were obliterated.

Ku Ocas
Ku Ocas is a kingdom which defected from Urenomis, long ago, the Ku people were United but collapsed into civil war, and so Urenomis conquered the northern Ku warlords and formed this province. They were inspired from Gossigawbo, a militaristic city, however, after independence, they were warred on by Ku Kloman and Hawaiki. Ku Ocas was eventually annexed by Hawaiki, the Ku people formed the Aralimism sect of Ufnui monotheism. Where they directly focus on Ehok Aralim. However Ku Ocas was Rainist for a long while, with the two gods of Aralim and Daulza, eventually their mixed Girel-Ku elite was gone and so they became Aralimist.

Jilus
Jilus was a Vim city-state that was conquered by Urenomis and adopted Gossigawbo influence. They believe in Ufnui Dualism, where Aralim-Yundir remains as the sole twin-like god. The city and nation of Jilus was eventually conquered by Hawaiki.

Srinapma Pe Virako
Srinapma Pe Virako was a small Ficar state that was vassalized by Urenomis and became somewhat influenced by Gossigawbo. It was under Hawaiki for a while, while this kingdom didn’t become important until the Ficar Revolt, where this kingdom was renamed to Srinpevir.

Vonkufir
Vonkufir is the Ficar nation that was most influenced by Urenomis, taking influence from the scholarly Chemsi capital of Esduran. However, this didn’t stop their strong military, they had many wars with Hawaiki and one way with Yalte. They didn’t win against Yalte but win most of their wars against Hawaiki, only losing in the last two wars. They first lose their eastern lands, and in the final war, they were annexed by 146 CE. They are staunch Rainists, a sect that combines two gods, Daulza and Yundir, and they were quite zealous in their war against Yalte, they also expelled all Koist missionaries. Vonkufir was ruled by a mixed Girel-Ficar ruling class, which explains their strange religion.

Shirmfla
Shirmfla is another nation that was never conquered by Urenomis, being the only major Ficar nation to do so. They were believers in Yundirism, the opposite of Aralimism, being a focus on Ehok Yundir. However, their king converted their entire population to Koism when missionaries came. Soon after, Shirmfla was conquered by Hawaiki, though their leaders did not get killed.

Ku Kloman
Urenomis tried to conquer all Ku states but failed as the rising and unified Ku Kloman kept them at bay. This kingdom therefore sees itself as the successor to the original Ku state. They were extremely mad at Ku Ocas for being influenced by Urenomis, and so, with the help of Hawaiki, defeated them. They were quite a big ally of Hawaiki and eventually become annexed by them. Ku Kloman allowed Koist missionaries, seemingly demoting the same religion as Ku Ocas, it’s likely that this king, Hari Uira, was trying to distance himself as much as possible from his brother, despite breaking Ku tradition by converting to a new religion.

Yalte
Originally, Yalte was one of Yaltic tribes who lived there, where they ruled as a permanent confederation. By the late classic period, Yalte was United under its first Thu Yalt (king). It’s famous for defeating Urenomis, never being conquered by them. By the post-classic however, southern Yalte split off, not just that but the rest of Cikam (except Yuksal) became monotheist. This led to a war with the zealous monotheist Kingdom of Vonkufir, eventually, Yalte willingly joined Inazuma for protection of their polytheistic culture, they were also already influenced by Inazuma for quite a while.

Yuksal
Yuksal is a Yevit kingdom, just like Yalte. However they didn’t had much contact with Urenomis as much as Yalte. They are the Cikamu most closest to Inazuma, therefore, they went through the same path as Yalte.
