Wind rustles through the woods, blowing away leaves. The winds of change have struck once more.
The Cryocholians marched south in response to the mysterious destruction of Rakcviltor, the ancient capital of the Parymidian Kingdom. Stories of this event differ. The priest-kings of the west say the gods destroyed Rakcviltor due to their heretic nature and the lack of pilgrimages to Lake Corsocuor. The warriors of the icy north say that the rivals of Parymidia destroyed it in a devastating war. The explorers of the Wintry Ocean claim that the Parymidians set off to explore lands further east and destroyed their own capital to destroy any records of their past selves. It matters not. What matters is that thousands of Cryocholians are converging on Rakcviltor, hoping to make the area their home. After years of wandering in the uninhabited north of the continent, the different factions of Cryochol finally reunite in Rakcviltor. Each faction wants to stay in this land. After all, the Cryocholians are not nomadic people. It has been a long time since anyone had a true home, and people are starting to get weary of travelling. The priest-kings enjoy the proximity to Lake Corsocuor. The warriors enjoy the even terrain, for the Cryocholians are terrible at fighting in rough terrain. The merchants enjoy the great river that borders them. Everyone else enjoys the loot found in Rakcviltor. The miners have pickaxes, the millers have wheat, the metalsmith has steel, and the carpenter has wood. The Cryocholians have found the perfect home. A pact between the factions establishes Rykorsh as the Imperial Duke of Cryochol. After all, the Cryocholians are tired of walking, fighting, and walking again. Rykorsh marks the borders of this new nation. The Cryocholians begin rebuilding Rakcviltor. However, they do not wish for Rakcviltor to be their capital. It was a mess of a city, which may have been the reason for the downfall of Parymidia. The new capital, named New Rakvelitor, is being built next to the great river. Though many riches were found in Rakcviltor, the Cryocholians have decided to abandon the history of this land and craft a new history - this time, with them being in the center.
