Escharian Expeditions

The expeditions were a series of expeditions funded by the governments of Escharia, and the town of Sneedistan. These were brought out by the desire to hunt down enemies of the Escharian state and find relics of the Soleannen religion and Niedene people. It is to be noted that the Niedene launched expeditions before this time, but the most described ones were those in the age of the later Escharian Empire.

The First Expedition
The first expedition started when Severie (SikkeOst) along with King_Zelorm of Sneedistan took a ship to Neos Knossos from the Island of Fernheim to find the bandit Kayafa (Called Beetleman (Karistije) by the Expeditionary Men). The two men crossed the broken bridge into the jungle where upon seeing a green parrot, they began the search for seeds to tame said parrots. Soon after they arrived at New Dinkerdorf, which as they have not been there before, named the place "S(n)eed Makkah" due to the abundance of seeds present at the location. The jungle was eventually named "Kago" after the friend of Severie, Khan.

After this the expedition went to Carvay where they snuck into the town and messed around before returning outside to some Carvay citizens watching them as they built a sign. The citizens fled and they fixed the sign to say "SNEED" before journeying back into the jungle to tame parrots and where no Beetleman was found that day.

The Second Expedition
The Second Expedition began when the men of the first expedition plus Debi went by ship to the lands of Fornost, where they confronted the defected Auroran order and branded them as traitors in the home countries of the expeditioners. Sieg confronted Canine about the issue of the Aurorans sending a spy before they went Eastwards, discovering a great stone structure unmatched by anything the world has seen. The men dug through it, while Debi departed back to Litoci. On the other side they reached a plain and obtained horses where they went northwards to a desert land they dubbed "Khemat" where they stopped for a rest. After this Sieg and Zelorm reached a great mountain they named "Kill-a-man-jaroo" which a stilted hut lay undisturbed by outsiders for many a day. The men rested and looted before going down into the region they named "Eziopea" after a podlike structure in the area. The expedition would come to reach a great land which they would go on to call Jedas, in this town the 2 men peacefully passed through. However this is contested as the villager population mysteriously was reduced by half as one of the two remaining villagers mysteriously vanished. However there is no proof to this theory or of there being other inhabitants besides Yeshya of Nazaran. They would go on to the great trek northwards until they reached the great wall of Uldarash where Sieg stopped to explain the lore of the place to Zelorm. The 2 men would continue north until they reached a sea, where they went on a ship to Plagos. On Plagos they showed disapproval towards the town of Vont before heading to Fernheim and calling the expedition to a close.

The Third Expedition
The Third Expedition was when Zelorm and Sieg once again journeyed to Jedas with Marquis and Debi after the Jihad Against Jane who abandoned the 2 and got lost around Khamat, their destination back to the Soleannan Scholar Yeshya who needed assistance in fortifying his town and creating a worship site to Solaris. The men came back and spent many a day fortifying the town, improving infrastructure, and creating the Kaaba of Black Wool. The men would go on to worship and discuss theology with Yeshya, who was kind to the men who helped him build up his town. After this the men departed.

The Pilgrimage (Fourth Expedition)
The men returned with many-a-onlooker to journey to the Kaaba to pray to Solaris. At this site the Kaaba was turned to crying obsidian then into a pillar. Solaris was showing himself to his disciples. However the Gentile began to climb the pillar, which was disrespectful to Solaris as it was not a man who believed. To punish this, the men took the Kaaba and the pillar was turned to bedrock to scar the lands and "remind the world of the transgression of the non believers." Sieg and Zelorm would then leave to begin the Fifth Expedition.

The Fifth Expedition
The Fifth Expedition was when Sieg, Marquis, and Zelorm traveled to the lands of Yimmu-Audal Province of the Soleannan Empire. The men journeyed Northwest of Siroba where they founded Ibn-Kabulli, which is a site dedicated to Militant Soleannen folk who seek to protect the people of Solaris. It was decided that the Kaaba would be moved here eventually.
