Detailed Aster History

[attr="class","dibody2"]
Esso'tera has always been the lawless desert. Formed by two powerful fairies before the Dominion War, Esso, a fire fairy led many of its original people here despite its dangers, because he believed that the heat would allow fire fairies to truly grow. Tera, an earth fairy also brought her people to the land. At first, the two peoples didn't get along, but legend has it that the two were forced to stop a sandstorm from destroying their hometowns, and by working together, they realized that fire and earth were unmatched when paired. The people have worked together to overcome obstacles together, and in this desert, it was their united front that protected their people from danger.

Even as a territory of Lacaille, it was a dangerous. The desert is not for the faint-hearted. During the 100 year war, it was the battle ground between Heizoek and Ugai's reign for many years, and eventually between the Sutcliffes and Heizoek. Due to it being a land of border skirmishes for centuries, the people have become hardened, not only to the desert itself but to their invaders. During the 100 Year War, they finally had enough, and due to their understanding of the desert, they slowly began to pick off soldiers who wandered into their territory. They say soldiers from the outside never survive the deserts of Esso'tera, and it was due to their guerilla warfare and their adaptation to the land that gave them independence.

Since then, there have been many civil skirmishes to gain power. It was due to the unrest that the Umbras gained ground. As a league of assassins, they didn't seek power at first, but it was // the first who began to expand into trade and business, as well as gain riches for their group. They never declared their power, but through their workings in the underground, it's clear to everyone that the Umbras are the true rulers of Esso'tera.

Heizoek legend says that the land was found by two fairies, a herder and a seamstress. Air fairies, they lived in separate cities as different as the day and the night, and due to the social stigma of marrying outside of their peoples, they were kept apart. It is said that the herder, spending time in the mountains with the birds, learned to communicate with them, and eventually persuaded the magpies to create a bridge to the other mountain so he could meet his beloved. The seamstress, having met her lover, made him a beautiful cord for his tunic, but when the leaders of their cities found out about their forbidden romance, they were both cast out, forced to find other places to live. Through their struggles, it is said that the herder sent his birds to seek his lover, and it is said that the seamstress searched for the man with a cord to find him once again. Heizoek was named after the magpie that finally brought them together.

The legend is still well known in Heizoek. In its past, it was ruled by an emperor of great power, one touched by a firebird. In it's past, they had a great empire, one that spanned across the world. However, the emperors became greedy; they took only the best for themselves and left the others to rot. The mountainous region of Heizoek was a difficult place to live, and the heavy taxes and strict rules of the privileged on their little island made the citizens furious.

They soon revolted during the 100 Year War, and Heibei, a young former from Yang, led his people to protest against the rising prices of everyday goods. Eventually the movement gained ground; many of the citizens were starving, after all due to the unnecessary wars fought all over the place. They finally gained independence after chasing the royals out of their cities, and established their own government, with a governor at the forefront.

However, there wasn't much unity after Heibei passed away. His council only knew the issues of their own cities, and many cities had all together different problems. Eventually, the cities themselves decided that since they were so isolated and far from the rest, they'd simply rule over their own spaces on their own, creating a communal government where everyone had a say in what happened with the town. They meet once in a while to discuss wider problems, but Heizoek has been living quietly since.
