History of Black Hollow and Piru
Piru was a sovereign state in what is now The Crownlands of Yaszuma until its incorporation 567 FU. Piru has been ruled by House Vicion since its founding in 1000 BFU, it wasn’t much before 900 BFU when the people of Piru saw the sky elves emigrate into Eldham. Piru’s nobility slowly died out leaving the only city left standing Black Hollow and a few fishing villages, the original inhabitants of piru slowly moved into the city of black Hollow and never truly left the island as they were a dying race. The crown of piru was created in 700 BFU and was named the “Crown of Balance '', upon it was engraved the symbol of house vicion, a caduceus with balance scales, and the 3 eyes of seekism. The Vicions ruled for many generations before the incorporation by the last King of Balance, Heric Vicion, fourth of his name. Henric was named governor of Piru by Queen Soko.

Nobility of Piru
There were 7 noble houses, 6 of whom are lost to history. Along with these 7 houses there were 7 settlements, the other six faced the same fate as their rulers.

The People of Black Hollow
The humans of Black Hollow are much different from that of the regular Yaszumatii that are seen across the rest of the country. They are much smaller in muscle mass but taller in height, they also have some of the palest skin in all of Eldham, they are known for their great beauty in their first 200 years and then begin their ageing process. They are known for their longevity and relatively good health, long ago they came up with a name for themselves, Blessed Humans. They were blessed by the gods with longevity, and slower ageing, but to counteract that each married couple can only sire one child, so their population remains quite small. These humans are also gifted in the mystical and building arts. Their magical powers are limited due to the fact that it requires specially crafted and blessed runes to cast. To protect their race the blessed humans construct great fortresses and castles imbued with runes to stay safe within. They befriend powerful people and creatures, to help protect themselves from extinction. They are the smallest group in Yaszuma. They have been known to live up to 1000 years, the longest life known was about 1,345 years of age.
