Ancient history of the Vos

[Temujin]

I like what you brought up A_dark. Sounds very simple yet plausible.

Glad to help :)

Also, not all Vos are barbarians. There are some notable excpetions. Kozlovny has been civilised by the Khinasi and it has Lerme as state religion, and Belinik is outlawed and there is also Zoloskaya the only Vos kingdom loyal to Ruornil in Cerilia.

So A_dark you think:

1)The Vos were corrupted in Aduria, not in Cerilia. This is not what the Atlas of Cerilia says.

2) Corrupting a people who revered a knowledge and magic god is easy; OK, I agree with this. Maybe the Lost, in their search of more knowledge and power, were the first to become corrupted among the Vos, and from them sprang the cult to Azrai. This is another interesting point. By the way, in which page of the Book of Priestcraft is the history of the Viper’s Eye?

3)In the back cover of the Atlas of Cerilia, there is no mark of Masetian (or Basarji) occupation in northern Kozlovnyy, only in the coasts; also it is said Kozlovnyy was the Khinasi realm of Medeci until invaded 328 years ago, but is not said when this territory was occupied by the Khinasi. Political boundaries and peoples were, at the time before Deismaar, more volatile than the modern ones, and why not the Vos could occupy some lands later considered as part of Khinasi? But well, lacking an official explanation, this is an idea as good as any other.

And in the post-Deismaar chaos and continual fight for survival in the frozen wastes, the Vos disappeared of history for nearly 1000 years ( until the invasion of Medeci, the battle of Lake Ladan, etc.) OK, I agree, less work for me.

Page 121 is the Viper's Eye description and in there it says that the Vos corruption started in Aduria. This Vos corruption and the emergence of the Lost was what made the tribes flee Aduria in the first place. The Lost and Azrai's corruption followed the Vos in Cerilia where he completed the corruption and went on with the elves as well.
