travels to the eastern realms
After spawning in Yimmu-Audal, Riyuzu wandered around for 3 days and 3 nights, seeing many places and ruins. Contemplating about the meaning of life in those places. Every night, Riyuzu would get various visions about a distant land in the east. after the 3rd night, Riyuzu knew he would have to travel to the place he saw in his visions.

IswearIamsteve
shortly after spawning Riyuzu made a friend by the name of IswearIamsteve former leader of Nikhazi who helped Riyuzu traverse many foreign lands and seas to help bring Riyuzu to Republika Vostokiya.

Republika Vostokiya
Riyuzu traveled to the eastern country of Ecclesia more precisely the lands of Republika Vostokiya of which he had various dreams and visions about. In the first book of Riysm, Riyuzu describes the need for safety, peace and stillness his visions as later described guided him to Vostokiya. Arriving in Vostokiya, he was immediately emitted to the nation, serving as architect for the nation and laying the foundation to his house near the tavern in Brauhaven.

Founding of Riyism
While spending 3 days and 3 nights wandering in the lands of Yimmu-Audal, Riyuzu contemplated the meanings of life on Rathnir. The beginning of life and the ending of life, humans relationship to nature and other life on the planet and the relationship to his own body. The meaning and true definition of Riyism are still up for heavy debate, with some arguing its a lifestyle rather than a religion. Riyuzu has never commented on this debate and won't do so either when asked to, saying: 'It is not in my interest to decide people's believes on what should or should not be viewed as religion.'

beginning of the visions
While wandering around the many towns and sleeping in the ruins of many buildings Riyuzu began to get visions of a distant land of which he did not know the name of. He saw towers, houses, people, animals, workers, nature and water. At first, he did not know what to do with these visions, let alone did he know why or how he got these. After discussing the events with native people of Yimmu-Audal he knew the name of the place. Many scholars believe the heavy contemplating of the meaning of life during the daytime may have enlightened his body to experience these visions. However this is still speculation at most.
