Geshemi

5,200 years ago, 5,000 years before the arrival of The Jagdasians, a people lived in the Mesa. They were a peaceful people, with good moral values but more warmongering than the rest of their culture group. Their leader, Kansion The Younger killed the young Calipha of Ardat Mosul and his people were banished, over 600 people went on an exodus. Over the next 400 years they roamed as nomads hoping to find a home, until they found the perfect place; The Sea of Pearls. Among this beautiful tropical sea The Gesei found a beautiful meadow steeped with small lakes and a large desert next to their new home.

In the year -4,800, The Gesei founded Hasril. Eventually, over hundreds of years, The Gesei's named evolved and became The Geshemi their city grew larger, into the desert and out into The Taiga of Yadishel and Eldal-Adadi. Different subcultures formed, The Desert Geshemi, and The Plains Geshemi. The Desert Geshemi were dominated by underground tunnel caverns stretching for hundreds of meters and small rudimentary huts. The Plains Geshemi had above ground homes with square buildings that reached no higher than 3 stories, mostly made of Oak, Birch, and Stone.
