Villager Kingdom

Pre-Foundation Villages
The Villages that came before the Testificate Consortium were small. Each village had around 5-10 Testificates and at least 1 iron golem. Villages were built in Plains, Tundras, Taigas, Deserts, and rumored to have been in Jungles. Every Testificate besides the nitwits had a profession and would help with the survival of the village. It was part of the Testificate's core belief that one should do no harm even when being attack, the iron golems are exempt from this because they are not alive. When the Hrut arrived they took advantage of Testificate pacifism, they sacked and burned villages down, slaughtered the Testificates without mercy. The ones that did survive had to fend for themselves against the mobs. Many clung onto their beliefs and perished while a few realized the only way to survive in this new world was to abandon their beliefs and take up arms to defend themselves.

Foundation
One of these Testificates, Hurm, would make a covenant with 9 gods. In exchange for worship and sacrifice they would guide and protect the Testificates. After 11 years of searching for the ideal spot he found it at the bend of a river in the north of Lazzeartir. Here he founded Testificate City and became the Testificate King.

Foreign Relations
The Consortium has amical relations with the Verdant Tide. Trade is frequent with the main export of the Consortium being meat.

There was border dispute with the State of Aspaxia, the contested military camp being not further than a 100 blocks away from Testificas. After a meeting Aspaxia agreed to remove the camp and the Consortium wouldn't continue contesting the land.

Vampire Incident
On a warm summer night the Testificate King was woken up by Dhruhurm-a farmer Testificate-. He told the king that some visitors had come to trade. The Testificate King got dressed and gathered some items to trade with the visitors. When he stepped out of his home he saw 3 people on horseback and one on foot. The man on foot seemed to be under the control of the pale lady on horseback. Her red eyes bursting through the night. Discussions began on what the party wanted to buy. As dawn broke they settled on beetroot. While Dhruhurm was gathering the stored beetroot a man on horseback questioned the Testificate King

"How do your golems work? Is it magic?"

"I am not willing to share the secrets of our protectors" Replied the king

Dhruhurm returned with beetroot and handed it to the pale lady. As the king asked for payment he noticed the man attempting to drag an Iron Golem over the bridge with a lead. The king pulled out his bow, drew an arrow, and shot. The arrow soared over the road and lodged in the man's left arm. The man fell from his horse still holding the lead. The Testificate King and Dhruhurm ran over to the man. "Release the golem" the king shouted. The man dropped the lead and got back on his horse. The enthralled man on foot then came up behind Dhruhurm and stabbed him in the leg. Dhruhurm crumpled to the ground and the Testificate King swung his emerald sword at the enthralled man. A rider came at the king with a netherite naginata. After some blows were traded the king was pushed into a ditch made for building roads. The party left shortly after and the battle was over.

The Verdant Tide
After the death of the Testificate King -due to his injuries from the vampire battle- the Verdant Tide marched into Testificas and annexed it. They kicked Testificates out and demolished their houses, farms, and markets to make room for their own houses and forges. The resulting diaspora was a catastrophe for Testificates. Many of them decided to seek out magical means to change their appearance so they wouldn't be persecuted any longer, like the family of Erikir Edelsten.
