Awef

PAFEEK AWENAFEF KEFEEFEKEK...

Awef, otherwise known as The Civilization of Perfection, was an atheist and economically progressive autocracy part of The 16 Civilizations, originating at the start of the Pencilcosmos' existence. Most of Awef is composed of the Awefians (excluding conquered areas).

Awef is the civilization which represents perfection.

## History

### Pre-Seer

Awef was originally extremely close allies with Rafg (although a war between each oher broke their alliance later on) Awef then became the dominant civilization in the Pencilcosmos, creating extremely advanced machines and creatures, as well as their own language, The Pencil Language. Soon, Awef had gotten control of the entirety of The Enormous, the largest verse in the Pencilcosmos, as well as conquered countless civilizations, including Yageeb (which would soon grow to be very powerful).

### Post-Seer

The creation of their first artificial "god", The Seer, proved to be a disastrous mistake, as The Seer's power grew out of control, subsequently destroying the civilization that had already been significantly damaged by a technological singularity. After Awef fell, its territory was fought over by the vassal civilizations which were conquered and assimilated into by Awef. For many LPT, countless civilizations fought, until the strongest one, Yageeb, conquered the other civilizations and formed a new empire, known simply as the Empire of Yageeb.

Meanwhile, The Seer was destroying and terrorizing other civilizations and entities, until it was imprisoned in Unexistence in 0 LPT, at the very start of the 2nd Era. Due to Awef's fall, The Pencil Language was abandoned until according to legend, Gwepk'Eepk (the legendary 3rd ruler of Yageeb) revived it shortly after.

Most of the Awefians that were still alive after The Seer had destroyed Awef would soon escape to The White Realm, forming The Zgazl. A few would become citizens of other civilizations, and a significant number of Awefians became refugees in Yageeb. One Awefian would flee to the Central Regions, and resided in The Black Realm, being known as The Elder.

## Society

Awef's social structure was relatively simple, but was strictly enforced throughout the entire civilization.

### Social Hierarchy

#### Nobility/Ruling Class

The nobility/ruling class, known as "the doers" by the government, were the highest of the classes (other than the ruler), and by far the smallest class. Each Awefian within the class governed over one or sometimes multiple portions of Awef's territory. The amount of land controlled by each creature in the ruling class mostly depended on their contributions to the civilization.

#### Middle Class

The middle class, known as "the subjects" by the government, were the midpoint of the hierarchy. Although the middle class had some freedom such as choosing from a small selection of predetermined jobs, they were still heavily controlled by the government.

#### Lowest Class

The lowest class, known as "the tools" by the government, were the lowest class. The lowest class had basically zero freedom, and were consistently conscripted to fight in the Awefian military, often treated as being disposable.

### Values

Awef values progress above anything else, especially industrial and economic progress (this somewhat led to a technological singularity, partially causing the demise of the civilization). Awef is strongly against individualism, and instead promotes the overall growth of the civilization/government. Creatures are judged based on how much they have contributed to the society in general.

## Key Locations

### Yeb Krepofek

Yeb Krepofek (literally "the center" in The Pencil Language) was the capital of Awef after the war between Awef and Rafg. Located near The Enormous, it was once a massive settlement. Although it was heavily damaged by The Seer, and later by The Dark Entities, many parts have remained intact.
