Komoshers

## Basic Summary

The **Komoshers** is a two-specie hybrid that came from the very bottom of the Tidal Oceans. They would evolve into who they currently are by the demands of the Tidal Ocean. Their history is filled with bloodshed, and are a very divided species, which has happened to have caused many events to occur in their lifetime.

## Characteristics

The species is notably separated into two different branches, The **Creep**, and the **Damoans**. Both are unique in their own aspects, but would later split into how they behave and act today.

### The Creep

The Creep is an entity that all Damoans before the **Great Wave** would be birthed from, it's a purplish/blue color, and be a long connection of intertwining tentacles, it can sense the thoughts of the Damoans, and initially started as a Hive Mind, but through an event in Damoan History, called **"Kilan's Will"**,1 the Damoans would slowly begin to become more independent, and took this independence to heart. The Creep would slowly lose its hold on its creatures.

The Creep is the original mother of the Damoans, it would start life as a small singular cell organism that sank to the bottom of the Ocean, and began to feed off the Volcanic Vents and soups of the bottom. It would eventually grow to cover these vents, then spread to other vents, eventually forming a large spider-web of interconnected parts, as they grew, they'd attract the attention of fish in the area. The Creep would eat the fish, but one fish didn't die, it became a scout for the Creep, and its mind was hijacked and used by the Creep to find more vents. A large network of these fish would eventually cover the grasp of the Creep. Once the Creep had enough food to sustain itself, it would begin the next phase.

The Creep would begin floating to the surface, taking in more material, assimilating it into itself, however because of this, and its relatively light body, it would be tossed and turned from the colder end of Tidal, to the much more Hotter end of the world. Where it would eventually hit the beaches, letting its new two-legged creatures run wild on the continent to explore, these creatures would later be known as the **Damoans.**

### The Damoans

The Damoans started off life as the first creations of the Creep, they would be a small Bi-pedal purple entity, with large heads that could store a good amount of water in this dry climate. They would be around four and a half feet tall, and could more easily take on the desert heat compared to other species. They would have two arms, with five fingers & an opposable thumb, however, the thumb is the same height as all the other fingers. They would have hair only on the tops of their head, they'd initially start off as a single-sex species, however during the **"Bitchful Event"**, they would gain another sex. It is however noted, that since these creatures were created by the Creep to simply be messengers, builders, and gatherers for the Creep, they weren't made with large brains.

## Culture

### Tribal-Era Culture

The Damoans early culture in the Tribal Era would be one of the most difficult and peaceful times in Damoan History, as for the first One-Hundred Years, there would be nothing in the desert, no soil, nothing, an unlivable climate. This forced Damoans into small tribes of people, all a shared connection as the Creep had a large cling on the day-to-day life. During this time period, the current Damoan Calendar would be developed based on the two seasons of the year.

#### Groe Dre

Groe Dre was the last Damoan to be born in the first initial generation created by the Creep. His last words would help dictate the direction of the Species, as surrounded by friends, his dying words were to be...

> "Of many I see, of few I cree The greatness we's bring. The roar of the sand, we's shall protect. The sand is we's home The sand is we's society The creatures of the sand, are under we's protection, do not falter, for shallow if we die, so does the legacy, of the sand."
>
>

The importance of this quote to the people of the Archipelago can't be understated, they will protect each other to the bitter end. even if they go into war against themselves, if any outsider were to attack any creature of the Sand, whether they would be allied to them or enemies to them, they would protect them to the Death. This doctrine would first come into the effect during the Valyrian invasion of the Scyldari in the Magic Age. At this current moment, this Doctrine Protects two Species, the Amaru & the Scyldari.

#### Kilan's Will

During the early days of the Damoans, a rock would fall from the sky, this would be believed as the first message from God. However due to the lack of tools, specifically wood, flint, or stone tools, used to break open the rock to read the message, the only option available to the Damoans at the time, was to use the Ocean to break open the rock. The rock was pushed into the ocean near some rocks.

However the rock wasn't broken, it was instead pushed into the sea, and it floated away, it soon got to the point where the Damoans couldn't reach the rock. The rock would later be found to have carried the Purple Gem, a gem that would have stopped the independence from forming in the Damoans, and have greatly altered history if the Damoans got their hands on it.

The event would slowly become one of the most defining for the Damoans, as they would believe that this event would have come from the God, and that God wanted them free from the grasp of the Creep, much to the Creep's Dismay.

#### The First Great Transformation

After 100 Years of living on the life-less desert continent, the Creep would attempt to win the favor of the Damoans by generating new land for the Damoans, a Creep Made assortment of Purple plants would overtake the desert, and this upset many Damoans, as they loved the sand, and seeing it overtaken by this new plant-life upset them, a rigorous fight to keep the plant-life out of new Sand Sanctuaries would eventually be won when the Creep backed down and let them have these sanctuaries.

### Amaru Encounter

Nearing the end of the Tribal Age, many permanent Settlements would be built in the Komosher Homelands, including the Capitol City of Hula. Which happens to be the first meeting between the Amaru and the Komoshers. Amaru scouts found the continent and the people, and in the midst of cultural misunderstandings, would cause a stampede that would leave many trampled, including Llada Kreel Palitona, a special little girl who's life story will help to define the next age and the **First Damoan Civil War.**

## The Iron Age

The Iron Age would become one of the Deadliest Eras for the Damoans, as this was a time when they were most divided, most angry, and most willing to fight each other. They could be referred to as Barbarians during this era due to their constant in-fighting and brutish tactics.

### The First Damoan Civil War

Tensions rise on the Damoan Continent, four separate forces would gain a large amount of power, Llada Kreel Palitona of the Loyalist Forces, Pruta Irin Nue of the Prutan Forces, Loardon of the Loardon Forces, and Drea of the Drean Forces.

Over the preceding ten years, each leader would gain more power from harnessing the panic of the Damoans, they created a culture of panic that would help them gain more followers, however, this culture would stay for far longer than the war itself. Every time a new species was met in this age, the war would soon follow. This culture of panic would cause massive upheavals that would take until the Mid-Magic Era to be controlled, causing a mass amount of chaos in the age.

The war would start with an attempted assassination of Llada by a Prutan Spy and Llada's Secretary. The Assassination would end up failing, however, the violence would end up in the streets and eventually spread across the archipelago. After a few seasons, the front-lines stabilized, with the Loardons being murdered off, Pruta stood in the dominant position, followed by Lladas Forces, then Drea's Forces.

#### The Night of Crack

The Final Battle between Llada and Pruta never came as how both would expect it, after the murder of his dezo, Pruta would turn his full might onto the Drea Forces, eventually killing their leader, not after a bloody night. This battle would show the importance of the Crack Heads to the Damoans, and how important technological advancements would have to occur. The ferocity of the battle would, unfortunately, echo throughout the Iron Age, however, this is significant as its the first major battle to bring the Crack Heads to fruition.

In the weeks after the Night of the Crack, the Drean Forces would continue to fight, but they'd be slowly beaten down to extinction, the battle of the seas would occur, with the Loyalist Forces being whittled down to nothing, as a brutal island hopping battle occurred. Peace didn't come easily, however, when Llada's island got invaded, something strange happened that no one would expect. Pruta saves Llada, it is turned out he had a crush on him for a long time, after the war, a dual monarchy would be established shortly later.

### Post-Civil-War Reconstruction

With the end of the Civil War in a Prutan Victory, Llada and Pruta would take over the running of the nation, Llada the diplomatic one, and Pruta brute forcer. Eventually, the cities would be rebuilt, including Pruta, Amaru's Beacon located in Hula would receive a crown for his help in the Civil War in saving Damoan Lives. A palace in Hula would be built for the Dual Monarchs.

### The Time Gem

A blast wave would be sent across the planet from the East that would destabilize the West, the Amaru, and the Komosher created a joint venture to get to the gem on the western side of the continent. Pruta would lead the Damoan expedition, later Llada would join the race.

A sandstorm would hinder their progress, however, the Damoans were able to set up a command post in time, quickly joined by the Amaru, both parties would begin digging towards the sand, as the sand got harder to mine, a Damoan got the bright idea to use a Fire Torch to burn the sand into Glass, then shatter the glass. This would open up a market to sell glass in the east, glass became a currency. As they approached the gem, the sandstorm got worse. Eventually, they reach far enough to see the gem, Llada shoots down the gem, which rolls into her hand. While carrying the gem back, Llada would learn of its property, to manipulate time to the user's will.

### Valyrian Encounter

The encounter with the Valyrians wouldn't have been the nicest of meetings, the encounter would start with a Damoan scouting party encountering a Valyrian Village, upon seeing it empty, they would continue down 4 more villages, before stopping to investigate the last one. The Valyrian Queen, Zalōra, was in the water, seen only by one Damoan, who when he approached her, several Aquins would come out and tackle the poor Damoan, and another would succumb to the Gremlins in the woods when studying the local fauna. Four others would be captured when trying to help their friends. When the party returned, the leaders were furious that six Damoans were lost, they knew those villages would have to have been occupied, and they either killed or captured their people.

Thirty ships are prepared, for both war and peace, each holding 50+ Damoans, using primarily muscle power. These ships would sail to the Valyrian Capitol of Daenys, two would proceed to shore, disembark, one of soldiers, one of a delegation, the delegation and soldiers would continue to the center of the village while Llada and three other advisors continued to the Chieftess's Tent, using body language to demand their people back. Llada also gives the Chieftess a necklace of glass beads while her delegation sets up several items of gifts for the people of Valyria in the main square.

The captured would soon be returned, however, the relationship between the two species would be tainted by this, with the Western Crisis not helping the situation. The Damoans would leave shortly after this.

### The Second Damoan Civil War

Unlike the First, there wasn't much lead time into this one, the easterners' panic helped to build the careers of three Eastern Island Governors, Shot, Holo, and Jaca. They would use this influence to start the Second Damoan Civil War and start the Western Crisis.

The Civil War would start, however, the Governors would have strongly over-estimated their support. They would quickly lose their mainlands, however they saw something similar to this occurring, so a plan is put into place to occupy the Crown Forces. The Civil War would end with the end of the Western Crisis.

### The Western Crisis

The day the Second Civil War started, was the day the Crisis would begin, Seventeen Damoan Ships would bombard the Amaru Coastline, and twelve would bombard the Valyrian Coastline. Llada was able to issue an apology to the Amaru, however, the Valyrians didn't take it too kindly.

Llada would've sailed off to apologize to the Valyrians, however, she and her three ships were attacked by Zalōra with the Red Gem (Fire & Strength Gem), Llada would attempt to get away with the Time Gem, but the Chieftess wanted blood for the death of her people and the herbivores under their care. Llada would slow down time and attempt to explain the situation, however after her attempts to calm down the queen, the queen didn't believe her, and attempted to kill her, Llada would simply slow down time and walk away.

Between the start of the crisis and the attack on Llada, two Damoans swore loyalty to the Chieftess, and helped to improve the Valyrian Navy immensely.

Both nations would prepare for war against the other, troops were rallied, weapons were made, ships were built, and new technologies to counter the other. The Kilangar (God's Guard) is created, and both sides are prepared for war. During this time, Llada would take several trips to the Valyrians to study them, as well as learn their language. During one of these expeditions, she would accidentally open a rift in time and be stuck in Valyrian territory, fortunately, she was able to hide until the gem worked once more.

The day before the Valyrian Fleet was set to sail, Llada would visit the Chieftess one more time, giving her a necklace, and a note, reading.

> "A weapon of war and a weapon of peace, a ruler decided. A new bird flies, an old rock falls. A kingdom carries the consequences of its Chief. A guard loyal down to both ends. A necklace they fish The start of yours, the end of ours, remember the wise, listen to the young, don't forget the ancient ways, they are your roots. We'll meet soon, friend."
>
>

Llada would also meet with Governor Shot, the last remaining Governor, asking for an armistice to deal with the Valyrians. Shot disagreed, Llada left, and the entire Rebel fleet went towards the Valyrians, who then annihilated them. As the prisoners finally told the Chieftess what was occurring, it became obvious that Llada wasn't lying to her, these were really the people who attacked her. Zalōra would later grab Shot's body and deliver it at the Palace in Hula.
Llada and Pruta exited and slowed down time for the three, Zalōra would return the necklace, and peace came to both nations, war barely avoided, civil war over. Llada would later return the Necklace with another note. The note read,

> "Our days may have been spared, but we both know the truth, we have something you desperately crave, and we are unwilling to give up. When that day comes, this necklace will cement your inauguration day. Peace will do be with us, friend. Even, if temporary. Just know, if you are ever in any danger, call upon us. And we will, if hesitantly fight for you. You've earned that much from us, Sincerely, Llada Kreel Palitona"
>
>

Peace comes to the known world of the Komoshers, the crisis is solved. With this peace comes many different expansions in Damoan Society, including the creation of a Coast Guard, to prevent senseless barbarian attacks on the Valyrians. Peace was uneasy between them, and relations remained strained due to no Komosher prisoner being returned and presumed executed, this severely hurt the relations between the two species, a navy was rebuilt, and a nation rekindled.

## End of the Iron Age

With the tribes finally unified under one government, a sense of peace would settle upon the continent. The leader, Pruta Irin Nue would disappear one night and be found dead the next day, Llada begins to train her heir, Zaena Phoenix Palitona, a rather successful heir to the Old Palitonas. Her training would really begin after the **"Bitchful Event"**

### Bitchful Event

An event in Damoan Society that would start with a massive wave, like literally, a giant wave, over a hundred feet tall would crash into the coast from the east. This event would cause mass panic and chaos in the west, as islands were re-arranged, the death of Pruta, and Llada came during this period, as both monarchs died, so would any sense of calm in Damoa. During this event, the Creep would be severely weakened, as it was torn limb by limb, it's last dying action, was to protect the Damoans, by giving them different sexes. Women would be born into the society.

## Magical Aged Damoans

As Damaoa descended into chaos as thousands would die, all the islands would be stranded in different locations, this would lead to the **Western Occupation Crisis**

### Western Occupation Crisis

As Damoa came to chaos, two species would see an interest in the continent, each for wildly different reasons, the Amarus for reasons to protect the Damoans, as well as too restore order in Damoan Society. The Valyrians however had a more, sinister goal in mind, they wanted the Time Gem for themselves. This would result in the second half of the Western Occupation Crisis starting.

In a small town, a Damoan named Zaena would begin her journey to finding the Time Gem, although the gem was lost, several clues would come up in her ten-year journey, she would arrive off a small island, and would begin digging, she found the gem, as soon as she left, the Valyrians arrived. They were searching for her, while Zaena tested and toyed with the gem, she would soon realize that her people, the people she was supposed to be protecting would be kidnapped and held hostage, forcing Zaena to meet with the leader of the occupation force, Zalōra of the Valyrians. The meeting would start off well, however, Zalōra got impatient, and would slam Zaena to the ground and take away all the oxygen in the area. In response, the time gem and the space gem would collide, opening a rift, which Zaena, Zalōra, and Aquatorios would fall into the rift, Zaena would drop the time gem, as the Space gem flew away from Zalōra. Zaena would remain stuck in the rift, unable to breathe, struggling, and weakened, Eventually, Zalōra was able to fuse the two gems, before all three of them were thrown out violently. All three teleported to Valyria, where the then queen, Kana, would accidentally light Zaena on fire before she would be returned to Damoa.

Zaena would spend the next few years bringing order back to Damoa, before she would basically surrender herself to the Valyrians in order to protect her people.
