Rykenor

The city of Rykenor was founded when two towns in the Realm O' Fire merged, Conqueraha and Rykoria, it's the dominant city in the Realm O' Fire. Conqueraha was founded November 13, 2022 and was originally though to be a war base by the Oceanumite Government but once they sent some one over the town willingly joined, It was at one point the fastest growing city in Oceanum, but died down. Rykoria has been with Oceanum for much longer than Conqueraha, and needs it's history needs to be told separately. The current mayor is Lukey Vaygardson, who is the last living founder of Conqueraha, and was heir to Daelan Vaygardson, after Daelan's retirement, and later on death, Lukey inherited Rykoria, and combined both Conqueraha and Rykoria into one town. The dominant culture in Rykenor is the Rykori, or now known as the Ryken.

Rykenor is one of the oldest parts of Oceanum, and used to be part of the nation the Realm O' Fire, led by Rage O' Fire.

Culture
The Ryken culture has existed for as long as Rykoria, the Ryken or overwhelmingly Cubist, there used to be an extent undocumented religion in Conqueraha, as the Conquerahans where more culturally close to the Ryken and would go on to adopt Cubism once Rykenor was created. The diet mostly consists of sea food, but with the rise of Agriculture on the Island, the diet started having more cooked potatoes, carrots, and bread. There is also a small a mount of the diet that is made of mutant from the sheep farms in Rykenor, though is made on only feasts, and other celebrations. Wool is an important part of the Ryken culture, especially in the north, wool was heavily produced in both parts of the island, though the north had a more religious attitude with it, wool was used for many cultural practices, though never evolved into a religion due to Lukey Vargyardson making Conqueraha more of a proper organized town.

History of Conqueraha
Conqueraha was Found on November 13, 2022 it was initially though to be a military base created by the USSE, but after further investigation, Conqueraha would join Oceanum. It was founded north of Rykoria, a historical city of Oceanum. The Founders where Lukey Vaygardson and TheAssociate867, the two would build up the town and make eventually make it one of the fastest growing cities in Oceanum. Conqueraha's status as a major city in Oceanum would be cut short however, due to a very deadly infectious disease, the thánat, witch is the local word for Death. The thánat would spread across the entire city, infecting well over half of the population, even the secondary founder, TheAssociate Had gotten it. It would kill most people it infected, desolating the population of Conqueraha, it was around this time where the Southern Stars was formed, between the nations of Nova Azcoria and Oceanum, due to the system on how Conqueraha was governed, the federal/Oceanumite Government couldn't do much to help, the City council was incompetent in dealing with it, and would be dissolved by Lukey, the thánat would eventually be dealt with after treatment methods were created to deal with it. After that mayor of Rykoria, Daelan Vargyrdson the Father of Lukey, would prepose a merger of the two cities, due to him retiring from politics. It would be much longer before the merger could happen.

History and Founding of Rykoria
The Isle O' fire was originally part of the lost Realm O' Fire, witch joined Oceanum as an Autonomous zone, along side with Korland. It was lead by the notorious Rage O' fire, Rage would start pushing for Oceanum to become an Empire on the world stage, but the Republic denied, and declared neutrality. Rage would start a civil war and declaring the Realm O' Fire's independence from Oceanum, and marching to the Capital of Valrusia and capturing it. Rage would proclaim the Oceanumite Empire, with himself as it's head. Though it took power rather quickly, lack of support of the regime and the Republican army using gorilla tactics against Rage's forces, the Republic would eventually be reestablished, and Rage was exiled from Oceanum, abandoning the Realm O' Fire. This would eventually cause Oceanum to join the Forge, out of fear of Rage coming back with his mercenaries to regain control of Oceanum.

Rykoria was built on the foundation of a Castile created by Rage O' Fire, the militaristic group of Oceanumites who founded Kythnos, the Attanos. they would built the fortress of Rykenor, which Bjorn Vargyrdson (ancestor of Lukey Vargyrdson) participated in. The city was eventually given to the UnholyCrusader, who renamed it to Rykoria and developed the area significantly. The name of Rykenor comes from this time period. Rykenor was founed on may 11, 2023, Rykoria had agreed to merge with Conqueraha, and made the merge official. They had many cultural similarities, due to Rykoria having much influence on the young Conqueraha. Both cities populations where pretty low for their sizes, so them merging made Rykenor a much bigger city.

Rivalry with Kumura
Back during the times when Conqueraha was a separate down the Leader of Kumura, Dubos, had come down before it had establish communications with Oceanum and demanded 2 thousand gold coins. It was a small price but for the very poor Conqueraha, it was a very big blow. After the Federation of the Southern Stars was formed and Kumura joined it, relations improved, Lukey Vaygardson would even let Kumura buy some land north of Conquerha in the Isle O' fire. Relations would quickly sour though, after many problems were caused by the immature leader of Kumura, Dubos. Dubos would procced to lay claim onto Conqueraha, trying to bribe the Lukey into giving him the town. Dubos also expressed to many people that he wanted to destroy Conqueraha. Dubos would eventually be warned by the FSS government, and he didn't do much until the May succession Crisis. The I don't like you crisis started when the mayor of Rykenor, Lukey Vargyardson, simply expressed his dislike of the Kumuran leader, Which caused a reaction from the rest of Kumura to succeed from the FSS, luckily things calmed down. This crisis left Rykenor and Kumura even more bitter toward each other.

the Kumura-AWE war
The AWE-Kumura war Started when the FSS merged with the AWE, and Kumura used this as a reason to declare independence on June 11 2023. the First battle of the war was on June 23, Which was a Definitive loss for Kumuran and Atlechian forces. Lya Imzu is currently occupied by AWE military. With Kumura's fate now certain, Rykenor is now safe once more. The war was over after this, and talk between the new mayor of Lya Imzu (now Sosuko) and lord mayor of Rykenor for the norhtern Isle O' Fire to be transferred to Rykenor. Rykenor would get the land and fully unify the Isle O' fire under one town.
