The invasion.

They came from the north. It was sudden they tore through all the villages and settlements and slaughtered anything in their path. The armies moved slowly and smelled unnatural. Priests of Karadim tried to control them but a higher power already held sway. Clerics of Horisu banished many but among the undead there were many men whom fought with their lives. They didn’t care what they killed women children animals and soldiers all perished. Within a few months the reached the gates of the capital burning everything the saw. The Sultans armies were ordered to start travelling everybody joined a caravans the cities soon became theirs and all Iyonai still in the cities were slaves of the new empire. The Sultan Aremed was killed his sons and daughters slain and his wife made a mistress of the regent his name was Alec.
Anything not completely human was killed and hunted. Everybody that helped these creatures was slaughtered with them. The occupiers had light skin many had light hair. They called themselves the Ivoris.

Some caravans sought shelter in nearby lands. Many Iyonai hid in the fortified jungles of the Monuc, a country manly populated by dwarves. Among those granted a hiding spot were the remaining royal family. They survived hoping one day their family would be restored to the thrown.

Slowly things settled they Iyonai travelled from oasis to oasis truly becoming nomadic. Many among the travelling caravans desired to fight back many tried, and perished. Though many villages in the south had succeeded in gaining back their sovereignty. For the Monuc wished to survive and feared that the next invasion would be the invasion of their own jungles, they helped the Iyonai of the south fight against the ruling power.
The Ivoris sent reinforcements and placed them around the rebel country of the south. No one rebel was to go any further north.

Four separate Caravan convinced the tropes they were harmless traders with little interest in fighting and politics. They said there only interest was profit and so they could pull into the north. They devided themselves over the land as to be able to attack everywhere.
The more of the members of all the caravans were fighters and rouges. With the intension to start a militia to fight oppressors.
In the north they saw the temples were bare and tombs had sunk, for sandstorms had swept all of the desert. The rulers didn’t know how to clean up after a sandstorm nor did they care about the sacred landmarks of the Iyonai, and so they remained under mountains of sand.
The other caravans regularly tried raiding the tombs and temples. The more of the people being weak couldn’t even break trough the doors. Few specialist succeeded and often became corrupt by the amount of treasure they gained. Some became obsessed with power and were killed by the Ivorris. Some only raided the temples to feel the presence of the gods ones more. They drew maps and traded them with strangers. They had no desire to have tons of riches and gold. Still this caravan recruited as many members as they could, everywhere the went they sought new Iyonai to join them.

Okay, dit is de achtergrond van de overname. Jullie weten verder ook dat de naam van de keizer van de Ivoris Maledicutus heet. Maledictus is naar de woestijn gekomen en heeft iedereen die nog in de stad woonde die niet slaaf wou zijn vermoord. Maledictus heeft in alle steden lichamen van Iyonai die terugvochten aan kruizen opgehangen als voorbeeld. Om de steden heen zijn hoofden op stokken om Iyonai die terug willen vechten af te schrikken. Het stinkt enorm in alle steden. Want de Ivoris zelf sparen lijken om ze te raisen. Jullie moeten op de een of het andere manier in jullie achtergrond inwerken waarom jullie een persoonlijke hekel hebben aan Maledictus. Heeft hij je moeder verkracht onthooft en opgehangen als voorbeeld? Of heeft hij jouw verminkt ofzo. Denk aan dat soort dingen. Ook jij Toob moet echt met een goede achtergrond komen. Okay, dan nog, jullie blinken uit in jullie karavaan jullie zijn net iets beter dan de menigte en natuurlijk nog wel slechter dan heel veel van de leider types maar jullie blinken uit. Dus jullie hebben al wat aanzien. Ik ga hier nog wel wat dingen bij zetten. Over Maledictus ook maar vooral over Alec. Hij is de regent van jullie land en dus kennen jullie hem zo onderhand wel een beetje. De Ivoris zijn vergelijkbaar met de Romeinen/Grieken, het heeft wel zin om te lezen hoe hun invasies gingen. Ze waren namelijk best tolerant van andere religies.
