History

In time immemorial, reportedly some time during the late 2nd century, Ob Khìlno Birěkhka was attacked by soldiers from another nation, with orders to raid Ob Khìlno Birěkhka. The details of the conflict are hazy at best due to many conflicting accounts. What is known is Ob Khìlno Birěkhka lost 177 people, 385 livestock, and 36 buildings. The conflict ended after roughly 128, when members of Ob Khìlno Birěkhka's militia enacted an operation to extract assets from a ruin under siege by the enemy. The operation was complicated by one of the key objectives in the operation requiring sticking to a very strict and short time table. The conflict ended with pitched battle between both forces, which ended in a stalemate for Ob Khìlno Birěkhka's forces. The war is remembered in legend by Ob Khìlno Birěkhka's bards, historians, and legend keepers.
