Helsia

Before the Books of Lore there were 4 tribes, which each specialized in one aspect of life. The Toskal tribe lived by strength alone, they were barbarians that used their immense power to control the lands on which they lived. The Esmir tribe used strict laws that could not be bend by man to keep it's members in line and working for the glory of their tribe. The Azad tribe used great magics to befit each member of their tribe and to make physical labor easier on their worker's shoulders. The Fortuna Favente tribe built great roads and water ways to increase the quality of life for it's citizens.

For ages untold these tribes lived at each other's throats, getting into measly squabbles over the smallest of issues. Though during these times there was one game that united them all, Helsia. Wars would be waged without loss of life by members of each tribe settling their disputes with a game of Helsia. Though through the ages none were a great enough player to bring together all the tribes under one banner.

Though there was one man that came that changed their ways of life until this very day. This man was the first king, Chitir Puti. No one knows exactly what clan or tribe the man came from, though they would all eventually know and respect his name. He originally came to the Azad and learned the ways of Helsia. Through many games with the Azad tribe he became a respected commander and a notable member of the community, but along side that he noticed flaws in their society. They were unopen to using the other tribe's pieces that would greatly synergize with their own and make them stronger together. He set out on a quest to learn from each of the tribes and unite the tribes under one banner.

He spent 20 years of his life travelling from tribe to tribe gleaning information on each tribe's pieces and how they work in concert. From the Toskal he learned how to put up an unrelenting assault, from the Esmir he learned to protect his pieces and his cities, from the Azad he learned the value of keeping his units healthy and strong, and from the Fortuna Favente he learned the power of proper logistics. Using the knowledge he claimed from the tribes he set out to unite them under his rule.

He initially set out to the Azad tribe and faced their chieftain. Their battle was waged for a day and a night, though through Chitir Puti's use of an unending assault protected by a tight guard he was able to triumph over the chieftain. Now with the Azad tribe under his control, he made for the Toskal tribe. He met up with their chieftain and challenged him. Their battle lasted for two nights and two days, though Chitir Puti was victorious because of his value of the pieces under his command which were kept in good shape by their hefty support from his healers and utilities. with the might of Toskal and the compassion of the Azad he ventured for the Fortuna Favente. He was greeted by their chieftain, and their battle was carried out over three days and three nights. Though Chitir Puti was able to claim victory by not letting the chieftain get properly set up and in position by bringing a blitz of his assault and tank pieces. With the might if Toskal, the compassion of Azad, and the power of logistics of Fortuna Favente he went for the last tribe of Esmir. He traveled to their tribe and was met by their chieftain and their battle was quickly underway, they battled for four days and four nights. Though in the end Chitir Puti came out on top by using his logistical power and sending a long range barge of attacks decimating the chieftain's pieces.

He then declared that all of the tribes shall be merged into one, Helsia, the name of the game that brought them together for centuries. this nation lives on into the present day with the same tradition of the games. In honor of the unification of the tribes, any government position can be earned and challenged by a game of Helsia.
