Kuro

Kuro is an island-city in the Oxin Isles, a group of islands in the Dana Sea in Southeast Eldham. It is a part of the Confederation of Xineria, with its local government also having limited control over the other Xinerian island of Sniffernia. Most of the following was recorded and discovered by the Xinerian historian, politician, and military officer, Inasis De Aurmi, brother of Jakrio De Aurmi.
== History ==
=== Proto-Kurians ===
Long ago, the isle of Kuro was inhabited by a tribal race of leather-skinned warriors who were ruled by a High Priest. They worshipped many gods and spirits, with their main deity being a half-man, half-blue witch of the sea, whose name is lost to time. You see, these "Proto-Kurians" did not write very much down, and it has taken many years to translate the few texts they did write, which tell us that they broke off from the Lo'Oix race around five hundred years before the first humans arrived in Eldham. Slowly, these people somehow died out. This is most likely due to inter-tribal fighting and starvation.
=== Great migration ===
A group of Lo'Oix followers of the Aurmian faith led by Inasis De Aurmi migrated from the region of Lausá due to religious persecution and settled on Kuro, repurposing the old teepees and temples into homes and buildings. They formed the city of Kuro, which united with the nearby colony of Netrion as the Confederation of Xineria. 
=== Squatter war ===
Soon, a group of players began squatting in Kuro, causing the Xinerian military to mobilize against them. A group of soldiers led by General Inasis De Aurmi and Sergeant Mijnnisprive engaged the squatters, however, the enemy would not back down. The skirmish lasted for multiple in-game weeks, called the Battle of Kuro, and ended when a player named Tridder arrived on the island and defeated the squatters. However, Tridder soon slaughtered many Kurians in their homes, leaving one player, Captain Elmo, canonically dead. This act of atrocity is called the Kurian Massacre.
=== Ascendancy of St. Cao ===
Soon after the Battle of Kuro, a player known as Cao came to Kuro and gave its war-weary people many gifts and valuables, promising that he would resurrect Captain Elmo and assist the Confederation whenever it is in its time of need. For this, he was canonized as a Golden Titan of the Aurmian faith and the Church of St. Cao, a formal religion based on the Aurmian Creed, was formed.
One day, many people reported seeing a strange, blue, flame-like being flying through the city of Kuro and the surrounding oceans. Marshal Jakrio De Aurmi IV declared himself Acting Minister of Culture to try and figure out what was going on. He eventually found that the flame was sent from the Golden Titans, and it warmed them that the forgotten Paxian god known as Iristor would fall to earth as a comet and destroy both Eldham and Rathnir. This led to the Xinerian government preparing for the end times before most other nations.
