SEMIC and the Rustovanian Industrial Heartland

Long before the settling of the Heartland, there were three lineages. From the deserts of the Razuni Sultanate came the Reddingtons; a warrior family who had proudly served their sultans in the royal guard for generations. From the shattered lands of As’ria, came the Asellus. They were ambitious builders and politicians who had been cast from their homes in the violent coup that brought on the Pax-Ashai. They found refuge in the lands of Okina, an island people of whom were apart of the backwater lands of Raiyuna, of whom the third great lineage would be created. There they integrated and multiplied.

Many more however, would not find such peace, as the third in line for the throne and daughter of Aegeus, the As’rian patriarch had gone missing in the chaos. It was in this chaos that she met The Traveller; an outcast from the Razuni Lands who taught her the language of Eldham, Basic. Unfortunately, The Traveller was an ill man, who died before fully teaching his now adopted daughter and now renamed Selina Reddington Rustovania the wisdoms of his travels.

Before his death, he passed onto her the promise which he had made to his people so many decades ago; that of a Great Razuni Resurgence. An ascendance into a new Golden Age of his and now her homeland. Many years passed as Selina would travel the world, first learning, then advising nations and peoples on economics and political strategy. During the same time, the Okinans would begin constructing their great capital city, meant to be the trade hub for all of Northern Eldham.

As Selina continued to grow her reputation, she found herself as the minister of finance and economic planner for the newly formed Osri-gaurd. The nation had been once a part of the Second Uraki Imperium, which after a series of rebellions and debt defaults, collapsed into a multitude of splitter nations. It was upon the unification of several of these states that granted Selina a claim to what is now the Rustovanian Industrial Heartland.

After the guaranteeing of the land and the signing of the RIH Development Treaty, Selina finally made contact with the other As’rians, now collectively referred to as the Okians. It was upon the happy reunion between the ruling Asellus family that several settlement parties were dispatched to settle this new land of opportunity.

Quotes from the Rustovania Linage:

In this new age, it will not be the men of heart that will rule the world, rather those of mind; those of the quill and of the leather-bound journal. It is those who see this world and think on it, who question it and it's orders that will dictate it's future. - Walker Asellus
