History

Eg Qÿyd Od̄ÿ is in secret rebellion against their ostensible liege, having cut deals with his enemies, plotted to betray him for their own gain, or bridled under his tyranny and sought a better lord. The community’s leadership is all in on this plot, and outside viceroys or representatives are being kept carefully ignorant of the reality. The common folk may be oblivious to the truth, though they’ll doubtless have felt the same motivations and promptings that convinced their leaders to turn traitor.

In time immemorial, reportedly some time during the late 2nd century, Eg Qÿyd Od̄ÿ was attacked by soldiers from another nation, with orders to raid Eg Qÿyd Od̄ÿ. The details of the conflict are hazy at best due to many conflicting accounts. What is known is Eg Qÿyd Od̄ÿ lost 133 people, 374 livestock, and 47 buildings. The conflict ended after roughly 225, when members of Eg Qÿyd Od̄ÿ's militia enacted an operation to secure a particular bridge to utilize it for a specific task. The operation was complicated by extremely hostile wildlife which took many out of action. The conflict ended with pitched battle between both forces, which ended in victory for Eg Qÿyd Od̄ÿ's forces. The war is remembered in legend by Eg Qÿyd Od̄ÿ's bards, historians, and legend keepers.
