Survivors of Berne
History
One day in a city about a two-day walk from Hydlaa, lives were obliterated. The once happy inhabitants of a fair city were screaming for their lives among flames and smoke. A city that had existed for ages and countless generations was destroyed in one act of savage destruction. This is the story of the City of Berne.
Berne was founded by Ylian settlers in a time that predates written history. It was here, just outside of Hydlaa, that a group of Ylian settlers enjoyed a modest lifestyle for generations. One day, a clan of Stonebreakers called the Gitny Clan entered Berne with a request. The Gitny had been evicted out of their underground home and forced to flee because of a radical group of Kran who wished to use the Gitny\'s mineral-rich rocks for food. These Kran called themselves the Moroc. The Gitny could not fight the Moroc, and so they fled. The Gitny requested that they be able to settle in the city of Berne along with the Ylian. The Berne Council agreed to this, and both clans lived in harmony for the generations to come.
The two Clans eventually interbred. Their cultures meshed and they began to share beliefs. The Gitny showed the Ylian how to mine and to forge weapons, while the Ylian taught the Gitny farming and battle tactics. It is fair to say that both sides found benefits in settling together. As the centuries passed, the younger generations were becoming more and more skilled with the skills of both the Gitny and Ylian.
As the seasons passed, the City of Berne grew. One day, the Berne Council was informed that the Moroc had exhausted all of their food supplies and were coming in search of the Gitny. The Moroc wanted to capture as many Gitny as possible in hopes of having them lead the Moroc to greater food supplies. The Berne Council quickly deployed the Berne Protective Infantry (BPI) to defer, or at least weaken, the coming Moroc. Mysteriously, however, the Moroc passed by the BPI and they completely destroyed the City of Berne, taking many captives with them. Few managed to survive that horrible attack, and those who did, have scars deep into their souls.
We are those who escaped, those who fought..
We are The Survivors of Berne.
Purpose
We exist solely to resettle the land that is rightfully ours. We will spend our time gathering the neccessary resources for the resettlement of our beloved Berne. We will make friends, recruit new settlers, train them, teach the ways of the Gitny, and pass on our culture to our future generations until the time comes to resettle Berne.
