Prysal

First Empire of Prysal
The First Empire of Prysal, also known as just "First Prysal", was a nation inhabited primarily by a species known as the Aygueh (also called the Aytak by the Estirians). The main evidence of their existence is the ocean monuments that appear across Kylorne (believed to be the centerpieces of great cities), the religion of Sigluwi, as well several folktales with odd similarities. They were to believed to have great technological and magical prowess, and domesticated guardians to protect their homes. They also had no centralized government, instead being a tight knit system of city states.

Salkazt War
The Salkazt War is the name given to the conflict between all of Prysal and a group of spirits. These spirits had many names, including the Myonar by the Estirians, and the Kazalites by the Silgueh. While both sides put up a good fight, it ultimately ended in the collapse of the First Empire of Prysal, and the near genocide of both the Aygueh and the Guardians. While the Aygueh still barely persist today, the Guardians would be slowly picked off by later explorers, until only one remained. The last guardian was an elder guardian by the name of Sigla, residing in the southwest corner of the Syglum's ocean monument

Second Empire of Prysal
Centuries later a nomadic Silgueh tribe found the lost city of Syglum. They were known as the Niwonueh, and were led by Segil Nosgwa. Upon seeing Syglum, the tribe gave up their nomadic lifestyle and settled there. They found the last guardian soon after, but to Sigla's surprise the tribe did began to revere the guardian instead of killing her. So, Sigla decided to teach the Silgueh everything she knew, and told them stories of the lost empire she had grown up in. The Silgueh tribe became determined to carry on Prysal's legacy, and declared themselves the Second Empire of Prysal. Their reverence for Sigla grew to include all of the First Empire, creating the religion of Sigluwi.

While exploring the continent of Kavernis, Segil found the stronghold of Durhal. Their leader Sol_Merchant welcomed them with open arms and created an emerald trident called Siglashel as a testament to the bond between them and their two nations. Being forged there gave it an icy mist, which turned teal after being blessed by Sigla herself. The nation would later join the Constellation, an alliance between Durhal, Elysium, Osterion, and a couple other nations. Additionally, a state created drug cartel was made at one point, but nothing was really done with it.

Overview
Sigluwi teaches believe the fog to be a chaotic and paradoxical place, where many possible worlds all exist in the same space. Due to this, life constantly grows and dies a thousand times over, making the fog a hot spot for Uwel. One civilization however did not repeat this cycle like their peers. These were the Aygueh, who cleared out a portion of the fog, stabilizing it to become the world of Kylorne. The Uwel who watched became envious, so they came to Kylorne to establish themselves as gods to the land folk. As aquatic beings though, the Aygueh did not care for the land. Thus there was peace, the Uwel ruled the land and the sky while the Aygueh ruled the seas. But some Uwel craved more, creating the Order of Kazal. Using their followers and their magic, they attacked Prysal and started the Salkazt War. Outraged, some of the other Uwel helped defend Prysal, while others stayed neutral or even joined the Kazali. Unfortunately, it ended with the Aygueh being almost completely wiped out, but they still live on as Uwel themselves.

Afterlife
Sigluwi is unique in that each living thing that dies comes back as an Uwel, or spirit. Each Uwel varies in power, which changes depending on how many people 'worship' them, for a lack of a better term. For example, the Golden Dolphin Pyor is said to be the Uwel of a fallen dolphin, and some gods of other religions look like people or other living things because they actually were before they died. Because of this, it's a common practice to regularly honour friends, family, and other respected individuals to help them in the afterlife. The Aygueh are also collectively worshipped, in order to grow their power in the afterlife.

Language
The current Empire of Prysal's dominant language is called Suwison. Like many Silgueh languages, consonants like K and T are only used in words with negative connotations. "Shimmer" accents (denoting a shimmering sound only Silgueh and glow squids can make), are also present, but ways around this have been developed to allow outsiders to speak their language. Some example words are: Ueh (People), Silg (a magical bioluminescent substance found in both Silgueh and glow squids), Uwi (Wisdom), Shel (Will), Lork (Land), and Prys (Prismarine)
