Bery

Bery (1100 BD - 900 BD) was, according to several legends of Earth 2, the first ruler of Scanzia, from whom the Bewi and the Tamar peoples descended.
A confirmation can be found in the Saga of the Beris, the oldest Scanzian work from Earth 2. Bery, described as a demi-god, was a direct descendant of the BÆir, the "ancestor kings" who, millennia earlier, came to Scanzia from the Far East and settled there. In 1000 BD Bery defeated the wild Bukians in the north and became ruler of the entire island of Scanzia. He married a local woman and fathered two children: Berodin and Bewa. In that same period, Gaiseleric imposed his dominion over the entire planet, founding the Empire of the Mundis. Bery swore allegiance to the Emperor of Axis Mundia and was therefore able to continue to rule the island as its rightful king. He then built the mythical Ice Castle at the center of the island.
Bery ruled his people peacefully for a hundred years. His two sons, however, were impatient to be able to reign, so Bery decided to please them. He suddenly pulled down his underpants and took a shit in the castle well, making the drinking water disgusting. Then he said to his sons: "''Go out into the wilds of this island, and bring me some fucking water I can drink. I want it to be as clear and healthy as the Rocchetta water I saw in some stupid commercials. Go now, my dearest sons. If you fail, I'll cut your hands off. The winner will become king''". Bewa returned first: he had ice placed inside a glass which, by melting, produced water as clear and limpid as Bery wanted. Then came Berodin who, heading south, had collected water from the mythical Lake Tamaren, and this too satisfied the king. Bery then pronounced his decision: to Bewa, who had preferred cold ice, he assigned the northern lands of Scanzia, which he called Land of the Bewi. Berodin, who had instead preferred to seek water in the milder south, took over the southern lands, which Bery called Lands of the Tamar. So Bery took leave of her two sons and left the Ice Castle, never returning.
The two brothers accepted Bery's decision and, from their division, the two future main peoples of Scanzia were born: the Bewi in the north and the Tamar in the south.
Although a figure certainly belonging to the mythological world rather than historical reality, Doctor Giacomo Pazzo derived an interesting hypothesis from the legend of Bery: the alleged "oriental origins" of the BÆir could put the Bewi and the Tamar in relation to the people of the Bereans, inhabitants of the the Berean peninsula in the Far East of the Meropian continent, characterized by unique cultural similarities with these the two Scanzian ethnic groups.
