Rathniri Koczniks

The Koczniks (pronounced Koshnik, Koznik or Koch-nik) are a diverse, tribal, largely nomadic people found throughout Rathnir, mostly in Altenquila and Plagos, but, due to their nomadic lifestyle, can be found across Ratham. However, they have largely settled, Forming nations and states such as the Audalad Khanate and The Elbaidan-Kocznik Khanate with in the Order of Elu has a State. They are primitive people, living mostly in mud huts, but trading in goods from across the worlds, collected in their travels.

First Cycle of Kocznik History
The First Cycle of Kocznik History is largely comprised of the creation myth presented by their holy book, the Unchu Agul. In this text, it is written that they were made out of mud and plant matter by Bogjal, and given all the faculties of a sentient being by the holy hyssop of Erkekleri. This was originally believed to have occured in the semi-mythical realm of Sabadinon, but recent advances suggest it in fact occurred in the world of Ratham.

Second Cycle of Kocznik History
The Second Cycle of Kocznik History is quite undefined, as its events were only compiled and discovered recently. It suggest that, after the Koczniks were created in Altenquila, they spread across the continent in raiding bands, terrorizing the other races which were emerging in the lands. Little is known about this period beyond this fact, except that this was the period in which Kocznik culture emerged, and that the subsequent tribes were either killed or found their way to the disputed land of Sabadinon.

Third Cycle of Kocznik History
This cycle is disputed by Kocznik scholars, as it takes place in a region that has not yet been located, called Sabadinon, "Breadbasket" or "The Otherworld" in Kocz. However, this is also a significant event in the history of the Koczniks, as it is the time when their first nation was founded, the semi-mythical Vorovlastic Host. The history of this nation is closely tied to legend, but the commonly accepted narrative is that it was created when Eddy Khan, the first Khan of the Koczniks and, as all Kocznik Khans are believed to be, the God of War incarnate, united the many tribes under his rule. The Vorovlastic Host grew to become a powerful empire. At the peak of the empire, Blightslav, the first Pygamber of the Unchu faith, prophesized that Sabadinon would soon be destroyed, and the Koczniks would have to flee to a new land. By this point, the Koczniks believed that Sabadinon was their homeland, and this revelation threw the empire into decline. It was merely a rump state when the prophecy was fulfilled, and Sabadinon was destroyed.

Fourth Cycle of Kocznik History
During their exodus from Sabadinon, Eddy Khan died. This lead to the dissolution of all governing bodies of the Vorovlastic Host, and the disuniting of the Koczniks. When they returned to Ratham, the now quarreling tribes promised a return when a new Khan was found. And so, the Koczniks returned to their primitive barbarism, leading simple nomadic lives of looting and pillaging across the worlds of Rathnir and Eldham. But, despite generations passing, some tribesmen still held out hope for the return of the God of War.

Fifth Cycle of Kocznik History
The Fifth Cycle is the current cycle of Kocznik history, and is marked by the return of the God of War in the form of Hukar Khan. His return was heralded by the collapse of the nation of Yimmu Audal, a land which many Koczniks were beginning to realize was their home. In the chaos, reports of a band of powerful Kocznik raiders spread, the likes of which hadn't been seen since the Third Cycle. And, at their head, rode the claimant to the Khanate.

Koczniks came to his fortress, Ormu Bataar, from across the world, and quickly began scheming to reform the Khanate. But, before the Khan could be officially crowned, he was felled in battle, and the city of Ormu Bataar fell. However, his successor, Shyr Khan, continued to lead the Kocznik people, and has, since then, spread the influence of the Khanate across two continents. Shyr was crowned Great Khan in the Elu Parliament on 1/17/24 after he united the Elbaidan-Omanien Neutral Kingdom with the Kocznik Khanate thus becoming the First Great Khan in the Kocznik History. Shyr Great Khan is still alive today going on 3000 years old, he doesn't beleive in the common Kocznik Faith but instead in True Creatorism thus by some he slightly disliked but even though his faith remained strong in the True Creator he still kept and allowed the faith of the Koczniks to go on just with out him being the "god of war."

On 2/4/24 the Elbaidan-Kocznik Khanate's capital of Alua was attacked by the Province/State next door to it of Akaird it raided the capital after a Yazgurt Meeting and damged friendships between the Elu people and the Elbaidan-Koczniks, it ended in a Point when Anocidude removed the Great Khan Shyr von Hawkstein from the Govment all the Hawkstein family and named them tratior's and "unloyal" which was a lie, so Shyr when to the Kartek Emperor and he had a meeting between the Two, Shyr proved his loyalty to The Holy Kartek-Fjellheim Empire and proved that he wasn't a traitor either to the Emperor unlike what Elu said but to have peace between the peoples Shyr said and offer to the Emperor fo Kartek.

"What if I was given and Island of my own far away from Elu in exchange for me giving my lands in Plagos back to Elu, and I become a vassal in Eldham and a State of Kartek in Rathnir."

Soon they came to a choice which they would not regret making The Elbaidan-Kocznik Khanate a vassal in both the worlds of Eldham and Rathnir and giving and unisland in the Plagos sea under a Umlita-Charm island to the Elbaidan-Kocznik Khanate. And with all of these new lands and vassalship they would give back their lands to Elu, which they did ending this Cycle and conflict in Kocznik History.

Sixith Cycle of Kocznik History
After the Conflict in Elu they moved to a small island in the Plagos Sea next to a Trade Company vassal of the Second Empire of Sea Haven with their new found freedom reforms were made in the Khanate giving abit more power to the ruling Local Yazgurts and land on the islands that was given to them. Shyr von Hawkstein aka The_lone_wonder still remained Great Khan and would rule the Elbaidan-Kocznik Khanate still even in their 3000+ year old age, and he would gather his supporters to live on the island.

But they also had a choice ahead for it was the 2/5/24 now and on March 30th the Worlds of Eldham and Rathnir would End, so would they go with the Kartek, Valreach or Dragothan Empires? Or become their own Confederation and follow the dreams of a massive land Empire like Great Hukar Khan, well that was for the next "Novel" in their History to follow.

After these events the Koczniks and the Elbaidans successfuly rebuilt and reformed their nation, but Hukar Khan who was actualy alive all along tried reforcing his claim on the throne and take it away from his son and successor Shyr von Hawkstein, he failed however for with the merge of the Kocznik Khanate and Elbaidan Neutral Kingdom, the Elbaidan throne founded by Shyr von Hawkstein was 100% legal and his rightfuly. Shyr did send a peace offfer to Hukar in making a Diarchy, but Hukar Khan never replied and the Nobles of the Khanate advised Shyr not to wait any longer, and so he followed his Royal Advisor's advice and would not let Hukar Khan even if he wanted to, reclaim his former Throne. After this to show the new changed they renamed themselfs the "Elbaidan Horde."

Seventh Cycle of Kocznik History
On 3/5/24 with talks in the making for almost a month with the Zerkalo Trade Empire and their House of Zerkalo, Grand House hawkstein and House Zerkalo merged their main nations and noble Houses, the Hawksteins took their main Domains of Kocznik, Elbaidan and smaller holdings and reforaged it into the Hawkstein Khanate, a Great and better verison of the Elbaidan-Kocznik Khanate.

This Cycle of Kocznik History would find itself in the new world after Ratham, and it would be made up of Hawkmite/Kocznik Nationalism, and some return to the old ways of life, while keeping some things the same like the long rule of Shyr Great Khan, Son of Hukar Khan.
