"No! If he wants the alliance he'll send a letter. And besides it'd be impossible for me to get to him or for him to get to me with the fighting going on."
You offer to create a fire being to be her husband.
"What? No. I'm 56 years old, I'm out of the business of romance. I had a husband but he got the cholera or something and died. That's all the romance I need."
You explain your side of Kritla's story.
"Yeah, yeah. Most of the stories I've heard about you come from the fishpeople, and you don't have a very good reputation with them, so maybe you are right. That doesn't mean I trust OR like you though."
You sit down and ask her to explain Nifoslokian history.
She sighs. "Alright, buckle up."
She brings out a map and a pointer stick, putting the map on the wall. She points to different parts of the map as she explains everything.
"Alright, so. Our people have been here for pretty much the beginning of time. From 1 BW to today at 780 AW. Our people were all scattered around the continent, living in small tribal villages run by chiefs, but we didn't really let the fact we lived in different places and had different leaders distract us from the fact that we were all one people, and we all lived on the same piece of land. There were three really big villages, and in turn three main chiefs, and in turn again, three main 'royal' families. The Kloksons, The Urgis, and The Nifosloks. These families will be important later.
Around 12 BW or so (1 BW was the very first year by the way.), some people started leaving their villages to go off and discover new lands, and eventually, people made their way onto an island we called Rotgi, chock full of resources, food, and all kinds of things we had never had before.
But eventually, as time went on, the Rotgians felt as though they were better than those who stayed in the motherland, so they decided 'Hey, fuck them' and closed us off from trade permanently.
Everyone was sort of bummed out by this initially, but we got over it.
Despite our at the time current lack of unification, many technological advancements were made. We made tools and developed a style of architecture, and there were all sorts of cultural developments too.
By 494 BW despite our lack of official unification as a nation, we had pretty much built ourselves a real country.
Things were pretty much totally uneventful for a while, until 752 AW, when these mysterious religious fishpeople went into Rotgi and just started killing everyone. There was a war that lasted a couple of years, but by 754 Rotgi was no more, and The Holy Fish Empire began to be established. So, of course, we decided to try our luck and headed over there to see if we could establish trade with them. They said yes. Cool, now we could get goods from what was formerly Rogi again.
Things went
