Pankumen

== Pankumen ==
Pankumen was an advanced civilisation that existed between approximately 3,300bc to the 1180s, falling to rampant civil strife, and eventually giving life to Radon, the most powerful successor state. Pankumen was the only Tori society to ever unify the Essotori landmass under one administration, though to what extent is unknown, with various Dynasties and political regimes rising and falling. The vast civilisation was another victim of the Great Collapse, with technology, society and culture degrading significantly following this. This is all that is undisputibly known of Pankumen's history, due to sucessive regimes failure to record history, and deliberate, and succesful efforts by Essotori to destroy the idea of Pankumen.
According to the Western Gifts, a historical scroll within the historical archives of the United Nyle Kingdom, which is stated to be a historical explaination of the semi mythical origins of Pankumen. The first Vasijaha, or Grand King, was known as Guleer, who unified the nation by crossing seven great rivers and traversing the mountains, before bringing all people food and water. Guleer's descendents were not as wise, however, and after four poor kings, there was a revolution, bringing about the second Dynasty of Pankumen.
