Ghi'am-Ko; a History (summarized...)
[/i] [/size]
There is only one book of Limm-Kai in existence today. It was divided in half as a result of the second Great Separation. One half stayed in Kian Diam and the other was given to the group of Enkidukai that left to seek a new land. The half that left Kian Diam was later given to a young Enkidukai boy by the name of Haanz VonFranz on his first birthday. As for the other, it currently resides in Kian Diam, The birthplace of Haanz's ancestors and the origin of Ghi’am-Ko.
Along time ago, approximately a 500 years after the beginning of the Enkidukai's time, there was only one tribe of Enkidukai that had what it took to survive. These Enkidukai looked slightly different from the Enkidukai you see in Yliakum today, but were without a doubt, Enkidukai. Sometime during this groups travels, a lonely god saw fit to tamper with this tribe. He summoned a huge storm and decided to scatter the group by creating an enormous earthquake. This earthquake created a large gorge right underneath the group, killing many and injuring even more. Those who survived where permanently separated by this incredible gorge, and were left with no choice but to go two different ways (Actually a smaller group went a third way and was never heard of again...). That is how the first separation took place.
One group settled in a large valley whereas the Second group had a very tough time finding a place to settle. They were actually a large nomadic tribe for a few years, until a young Enkidukai girl around the age of 12 found what is now know as Kian Diam. Li'am-Ko, as was her name had been playing by herself when she saw a Lion staring at her through a thick wall of foliage. For those of you who aren't familiar with a lion, it is a more than often fierce creature with large claws and teeth that was native to the Enkidukai world some time ago. It is usually a bright golden colour and male lions, like the one staring at Li’am-Ko, have a think beard or mane that grows around their neck. These creatures are part of the cat family but unlike Enkidukai, cannot walk on only their hind legs. This particular Lion however, did not pounce on the young girl, nor did it even growl. It merely stared at her for some time, then turned and walked deeper into the forest...
Li'am-Ko, drawn by an unknown force, wandered in after the Lion. This Lion obviously knew where it was going as it never strayed from its path and never looked around to check it's bearing. It also never looked back at Li'am-Ko. This pursuit lasted for well over an hour, and all the time the lion was getting farther and farther ahead of Li'am-Ko until finally, She lost sight of the animal completely. From this point the frightened girl could only see trees surrounding her. She decide to walk a bit further in the hopes of finding the lion again, but instead she found a place like no other she had ever seen in her whole life. What lay before her was a scene of slowly rolling hills leading down to a large river which later split into two smaller rivers farther down. Along these hills, almost creating a border, was the forest, which Li'am-Ko hadn't taken much time to observe closely. The forest was full of all sorts of wildlife and plants. The trees that made up the forest were unlike the trees we see in Yliakum. Their wood was soft and easy to work with, but at the same time one of the toughest kinds of lumber anyone had ever known. These trees also grew a type of fruit, which I have never seen in Yliakum. It was sweet but a different type of sweet than that we know of. These fruits were so healthy and plentiful too that the Enkidukai who eventually lived here survived off of them alone for many months before they began farming. What Li'am-Ko had found here...was Kian Diam.
The people living in Kian Diam eventually began to flourish, introducing currency and creating the first National Bank know to Enkidukai alike, as well as a huge Library, which acted as more of an encyclopaedia that you could walk into. They were the inventors of the byoudin, a means of getting energy from the earth, and were even partly involved in the invention of the sewer system. But although these Enkidukai were in many aspects superior to their less evolved counterparts, the Enkidukai living in Kian Diam liked to keep to themselves, and there was very little mingling between the two civilisations. Also, as time flowed by just like the water in the river cutting through Kian Diam, a government system began to grow. Eventually, Kian Diam became know as Ghi'am-Ko, in memory of Li'am-Ko who found Kian Diam, and the coat of arms bore a single lion in commemoration of the lion who guided her their. When Kian Diam gradually changed it's name and slowly grew into and Empire, The Enkidukai living there also began to change. Although their change was called evolution and was constantly happening, this is the time when people actually started to notice their differences from other Enkidukai. So to show that they were different, these Enkidukai began calling themselves simply Ghi'am-Ko or the Ghi'am-Ko People.
The leader of the Ghi'am-Ko Empire was originally Empress Li'am-Ko I. She lived to be 137 years of age. She was buried underneath the thicket of foliage where she first saw the lion.
The way the Ghi'am-Ko Empire works is that when death comes to the Hiou-Kai, which is what we call the Emperor or Empress, there is a period of one year where there is no ruler. After this one-year period, a group of priests and the children of the last leader, search the Empire for the reincarnation of the Hiou-Kai. The reincarnated child is then separated from their family and is placed in the forest where Li'am-Ko first saw the lion. If the child returns home, He or She becomes the new leader. If the child does not return home, there is a huge 24-hour ceremony to please the spirit of the Hiou-Kai because the Ghi'am-Ko people believe that the spirit is sad and does not wish to return home. After the ceremony there is another one-year period without a leader and they repeat the process over again until the reincarnation decides that it is time to rule it’s Empire again.
As time passed a rebellion began to form who did not believe in the Hiou-Kai. This rebellion lasted for many generations and was always getting stronger, until one day the Hiou-Kai Ujeb’Liu IV was found dead on his bench by the river where he liked to sit and watch the water flow. This caused a huge up-roar in the Empire and also because there was no leader, there was another one-year period of anarchy. At this point the Rebellion was so big and so fed up that things began getting violent. That is how the second separation occurred. Almost half of the citizens, including some of the rebels decided to leave their great Empire in search of another place to rebuild their home and society.
The high priest, after some argument, was allowed to stay with the Empire, but knowing that the new Hiou-Kai could be with the group leaving, he decided to split the last book of Limm-Kai into two halves, as it was needed to crown the new leader. Many prayers and enchantments that were said upon the new leader were hidden inside the books infinite knowledge, and so, along with the book of Limm-Kai, Ghi'am-Ko was separated.
Many of the Ghi'am-Ko people died on their voyage, but eventually they group found a strange portal in the middle of a grassy plain which lead into an equally strange stone hallway. The group, deciding they had nothing left to lose, went into the portal to find themselves staring straight into a huge bronze door.
For a long time the facts about Ghi'am-Ko became stories, and eventually became legends, but then one day a group of three Enkidukai who looked strange and different, came from the stone labyrinth. They said they were looking for a child, and eventually found him. His name was Haanz VonFranz and he was one of a few who were still pure blood Ghi'am-Ko. They said he was the reincarnation of Liam-Ko. They proclaimed him Hiou-Kai of the late Ghi'am-Ko Empire, which had supposedly all fallen to ruins, except for the palace where the other half of the book of Limm-Kai now is.
Now, The Ghi'am-Ko Empire is being rebuilt. The Hiou-Kai Haanz I has decided that due to lack of pure blood Ghi’am-Ko people, and because the other races were incredibly hospitable to his race when they first arrived, The Ghi’am-Ko Empire will betray an old and out-dated tradition to let in people of all races! So, with the help of 12 different races, all becoming a part and becoming citizens, the great and glorious Ghi'am-Ko Empire will live again!
Guild Structure
[/size]
The guild consists of two different ranking systems, a group of working ranks and a group of hierarchy ranks. Every Citizen of the Ghi'am-Ko Kingdom will have both a working rank and a hierarchy rank.
Your hierarchy rank is your level of nobility in the guild, where as your working rank is what rank you are in the line of work your in.
This guild consists of seven different lines of work. When someone joins the Ghi'am-Ko Kingdom they choose which line of work they want to join and that is how they help the Kingdom thrive.
