Bilkan Kingdom: History and Rumors

Bilkan formed into a kingdom in 1045, under the guidance of Brax Strongheart. Even back then, they were a peaceful and religious people, a country of philosophers and farmers, their lands being some of the most fertile lands in the world and their people being among most experienced farmers.

Many grand inventions and works of a religious nature came from the Bilkanese people, though in this day and age, many have been lost to time and war.
For many centuries Bilkan's people flourished, sending vast amounts of crops and religious teachings to the many keitai in the north, in exchange for protection from the occasion bandit or raiding party. This changed of course, with the arrival of Sinthar Bloodstone.

Bilkan found itself almost defenseless, as the Keitai that would normally have defended them, actually began making raids into Bilkan lands, stealing food and resources, hording them away in their fight to outlive Sinthar's onslaught.

It was during this time when the Rohden Alliance was formed, Bilkan was asked to join and jumped at the opportunity, increasing the size of their tiny navy tenfold and allowing for further opportunities for trade and import.

The kingdom was in a state of relative peace, until the madness of the Telish' Mido and his continuously rash and incomprehensible behavior turned itself slowly towards Bilkan. Now in a state of war, and unable to remove themselves from it, the Bilkanese struggle to amass a working army, and hold off the Telish attacks on their borders. What most are currently unaware of however, is that this war is merely for show for the Telish Mido, and that all skirmishes and battles have been pre-planned by the Kagi of Telish and Mido of Bilkan to ensure minimum casualties.

Although several are aware of this fact and protest that Bilkan should be the constant loser in these battles to appease the madness of the Mido in Telish, few have their doubts about surviving a full scale attack. And so the deception goes on.
