Rombolo'k

*1610-1805*

Wanting to expand territory, after land was found beyond the sea to the south, the leaders of the leaders of Tryllek approved its colonization. Due to the wealth of natural resources returning from the colonies, sending prisoners and exiles to provide free labor was cheaper than maintaining jailhouses. There was pushback from natives but they were no match for the “divine province” ferocity of the Tryllek colonizers.
* All that remains of the natives is their word for those invading and destroying their home: “Rombolo’k”

Greedy companies eager for government contracts meant soon the indentured servants, slaves, and exiled outnumbered their overseers four to one. The oppressed decided their freedom knew no cost and revolts and requests for independence turned into a declaration of war.
### Fight for Independence

*1610-1650*

It’s theorized that the *Founding Seven* warlords (known as Dasco) bargained with the natives for the knowledge to defeat the Trylleki Army. Though if you ask the bottom castes, they’ll tell you the *Founding Seven* went somewhere worse than Hell and back to steal their ungodly power. But it was with this power that the Seven Dasco annihilated life and absorbed its power. There are different accounts of what happened during the Rombolo’k Massacre. The only similarity is that a third of those fighting for freedom sacrificed their lives on an altar; the resulting power slaughtered any Trylleki soldier on Rombolo’k land and all life within a twenty foot radius of them. "Freedom" was won.
The power vacuum resulted in a warring state of survival and struggle for power resulted in Dasco turning on Dasco, thousands slaughtered, and ever changing territory lines.

##### Cultural Philosophies

*No matter the caste there are shared views on the ways of the world:*

* Life is power; use it even if it's not yours.
* Living sacrifices are a part of everyday life. There are two ways to survive:
	+ Be too specialized to be sacrificed
	+ Be too weak to be worth sacrificing
* Flora is rare as it’s easy to sacrifice aspiring sacraficialists; thus any flora, to include blades of grass, are hoarded and hidden from spying eyes.
* Blood-relations hold little importance in society because any would-be families are frequently separated.
	+ While lower-caste would-be families are forcefully separated, higher-caste families often apprentice out their children at a young age in hopes to gain more political power.
* Music is a luxury of the upper castes.
* Emotions are for sacrafices
	+ Sacrafices often beg, cry, and loudly pray. Thus these are all things that show lowliness.

* There are a handful of neutral trade posts along the coast to allow slavers and traders a land-based haven for their businesses.
