The Rikathi
Ota Beyr Brejna Honorlund had no sooner taken the throne when her mettle was tested. The feat that had led her to her current seat of power had also weakened the shores. Long ships were sighted on the horizon just as rumors of traveling bands of star-gazers swept across the hillsides. With the sea drake nests destroyed, the rocky eastern shores were again open for watercraft.
Ota Beyr Brejna sent out outriggers to catch the long ships and bring them to shore. Their people were strange, but weary. The Rikathi did their best to understand them, but the barrier was almost too much. Eventually warm fires and warm bedding won out. They sought a safe haven, and the Rikathi were able to provide that with acceptable losses to their own stores. The Myrkrans were given a piece of land overlooking the water and kept segregated for fear the Myrkran were not as they said, but it was a peaceful union with only the occasional cultural miscues. Along the shore the fires sparkled like the stars for weeks while she contended with another threat from the mainland.
The shepherds saw them first. The Seekers of the Sphere is what they called themselves. The Rikathi held true to their own beliefs about the stars, but it was good to seek the handiwork of others. These people were kept at at arm's length too while they visited and were given as much hospitality as the Rikathi could afford without depleting their tenets of faith.
It had been generations since the Rikathi had neighbors, and the locals were not content to let such things go unchecked. They sought for their Ota Beyr to shore up their defenses. Soldiers were trained and all outrider's efforts were doubled. The world had felt so big and open just a decade before, but now with visitors arriving on both land and sea, it was becoming quite clear that they were not the only ones to survive the dark ages.
For now, the Rikathi have kept their traditions and people intact. Their way of life has not been attacked and their secrets remain their own. They now have neighbors so close they can smell their cooking fires and hear their music, and the peace has been kept. It is nice to have neighbors again, even though the burden of such things weighs heavily on the yoke of her people.
