Mikkil

Mikkil is an island nation off the coast of Harekkeim. While officially affiliated with the Alamo Empire, they have historically had little to do with the country, seemingly just paying it lip service and supplying funding in return for protection. Their alliance with the Empire might be more due to being a former territory of Harekkeim, which has remained staunchly pro-Empire throughout history. Mikkilites are notoriously secluded and withdrawn, predominately communicating with sign languages they refuse to teach to foreigners. As such, their cities are almost eerily silent, as if no people are at all present. Even in large swaths of Mikkilites, not a single spoken word might be uttered at all, and speaking aloud tends to draw attention to oneself or carry the implication that whatever it is, it is so important that everyone nearby must know.
History is of vital importance to the Mikkilites; they maintain careful records of Ealdremen's history, and they view the Godbomb as just one of many mysteries that needs to be uncovered and resolved. In addition to written records, Mikkilites pass down the greatest secrets of Ealdremen by uttering them to select chosen keepers of history. Because they speak so little, hearing words spoken or speaking words themselves makes it easier to commit to memory. They seclude themselves and recite what they know to one another regularly to ensure no discrepencies between what they remember. Urban legends state that if the major factions of Ealdremen knew what the Mikkilites know, there would never be peace.
