Prolings



The Prolings culture is a blend of various cultures from different Clans, including the Prol Clan, Cyroka Clan, and Lunia Clan. The Prol Clan, who were settled, specialized in livestock rearing and agriculture. They established the settlement of Prolxan, where they thrived. On the other hand, the Cyroka Clan were nomadic and had their own unique customs.

Interestingly, during the winter season, the Cyroka Clan coincidentally stumbled upon the settlement of the Prol Clan. Both clans recognized the need to survive the harsh winter and decided to join forces. They agreed to collaborate and face the challenges together.

This alliance brought together the expertise of the settled Prol Clan and the resilience and adaptability of the nomadic Cyroka Clan. The Prol Clan shared their knowledge of livestock rearing and agriculture, teaching the Cyroka Clan new techniques to ensure a stable food supply during the winter months. In return, the Cyroka Clan shared their skills in hunting and gathering, helping the Prol Clan diversify their food sources.

Once winter ended, the Cyroka Clan decided to abandon their nomadic lifestyle and settled in the Prolxan settlement. They reached an agreement with the Prol Clan to share the settlement. Another Clan, the Lunia Clan, joined them after fleeing from their famine-stricken homeland and rival tribes. The Lunia Clan possessed advanced building and navigation techniques, which proved beneficial to the Prolxan settlement. The people warmly welcomed the Lunia Clan, and the settlement gradually transformed into a city called Prolings, combining the names of the fallen city Bay Sling and the Prolxan settlement, as a tribute to the Prol Clan.

Thirty-three years before Emperor Lucifer I's reign, Emperor Milky I experienced a significant dream. In this dream, the Moon Goddess blessed the city of Prolings and revealed that its inhabitants were a manifestation of her divine essence. Overwhelmed with joy, Emperor Milky I shared this revelation with the citizens, declaring Prolings as the sacred home of the Moon Goddess. Consequently, the city, its name, and its people were believed to possess a divine nature.

When Emperor Lucifer I took the throne, the people had already embraced their identity as Prolians, or Divine Landers. To foster unity among the diverse cultures within the empire, Emperor Lucifer I renamed the realm as the Prolings Empire of Prolxan.

Today, the Prolings continue to celebrate their diverse heritage and the collaborative spirit that brought their clans together. Their culture remains a testament to the power of collaboration and the strength that can be found in embracing diversity.

The Fall of Prolings
The fall of Prolxan started with a coup led by Prince Optimal. It began in a settlement called Cyroka, where Prince Optimal killed the Prolian Guards and allowed the Helos, an enemy Clan, to attack and burn the settlement. They enslaved half of the Cyroka population and took them as Proling slaves.

When Emperor Lucifer heard about this, he immediately sent his forces to confront the Helos and rescue the enslaved Cyroka. However, the Helos outnumbered the Prolian forces and had lighter armor, giving them an advantage. The battle resulted in a complete loss for the Prolian forces, forcing them to retreat back to Prolings City. This defeat encouraged the Helos to siege Prolings City.

The Lunia Clan, a tight-knit community known for their courage and loyalty, received forewarning of an imminent siege that threatened their beloved homeland of Prolings. Not wanting to sit idly by and face the ravenous onslaught, they sought help from the enigmatic Emperor Lucifer, a formidable ruler renowned for his wisdom and power. Recognizing the urgency of the situation, Emperor Lucifer agreed to lend his aid, but with one rather unexpected condition - he implored the Lunia Clan to take his Second son, Milky, with them as they made their escape.

This proposition left the members of the Lunia Clan both surprised and bewildered. As virtuous and noble as their intentions were, the prospect of taking the Emperor's son under their wing posed significant challenges and uncertainties. Nevertheless, the Lunia Clan recognized the immense trust and vulnerability in Lucifer's offer, and after much contemplation, they reluctantly agreed to honor his request.

As the siege continued, the city faced food and water shortages. Emperor Lucifer devised a plan to dig a tunnel from the city to the nearby Moon Fort, which would allow the Prolians to escape. The first wave of people, including Lucifer and his son Lucifer II, managed to flee through the tunnel. However, the tunnel collapsed, trapping the rest of the Cyroka inside the city. Lucifer's second in command Waffels and his sisters also remained trapped.

Unwilling to leave the Prol Clan on the mercy of the Helos, Lucifer decided to take his people to Rathnir, an unknown land where their Lunia brethren resided. Some Cyroka people claim that Waffles made a deal to marry Lucifer's sisters to the Helos kings. Prince Optimal, feeling guilt for his role in the fall of Prolxan, attempted to kill the elder Helos king but was caught and executed.

Who were The Helos
The Helos, a peaceful clan residing in South Prolings, they made the decision to align themselves with the Prolings Empire during the rule of Emperor Milky. Their intention was to find safety and tranquility under the empire's protection. However, Emperor Lucifer, viewing them as a possible danger because of their distinct cultural traditions and large population, saw them as a potential threat. He decided to send Prolian troops into the Villages of the Helos. The troops lack disciplined and started to

loot and pillage the Helos villages, causing chaos and fear among the peaceful clan. The Helos, unprepared for such an attack, were forced to defend themselves with whatever resources they had.

The language barrier between the Prolian troops and the Helos further complicated the situation. The troops, unable to properly communicate with the Helos, misunderstood their intentions and traditions, leading to further misunderstandings and unnecessary violence. The Helos, desperate to protect their homes and loved ones, fought back with all their might, utilizing their knowledge of the land to their advantage.

As the clashes intensified, the Helos realized that they were not alone in their struggle against the oppressive rule of Emperor Lucifer. Other clans and villages in South Prolings, also victims of the empire's aggression and prejudice, joined forces with the Helos to resist the Prolian troops.

Together, they formed a resistance movement, combining their unique skills and cultural knowledge to fight against the injustice they were facing. They strategized, planned ambushes, and utilized guerrilla tactics to weaken the Prolian troops.

Emergence of Cannondore and Oridal
The cities of Cannondore and Oridal emerged from the vision of two brothers hailing from a distant land called Prolxan. These brothers sought to forge a fresh abode for their fellow Prolians, who were in search of a new homeland following the catastrophic deluge that befell Prolxan. Aneki, the elder brother, laid the foundation of Cannondore, and subsequently aided his younger brother, Oridalian, and their father, Lucifer, in establishing a second settlement known as Oridal. Oridal, being the focal point of the two cities, not only birthed the inaugural Prolian assembly but also evolved into the esteemed Prolian Senate. Moreover, it safeguarded ancient Prolian manuscripts, which endure to this day within the sacred confines of the Prolings Archives.
