The Rikathi
Region: 217
The Rikathi watched in horror as the catastrophic lunar collision played out overhead. Weeks of celebration had resulted in a prosperous swing in the region and people were growing increasingly optimistic about the future. It made the collapse of the two moons only that much worse as silent fears resurfaced. The world was a place of torrential horror.
Months before Brejna Honorlund had hosted talks of alliance among the people of Taer Mojr. She had been upset with the amount of representatives that had decided to show, but those that did make an appearance seemed open to the directive she proposed. Some pockets of Taer Mojr would not show respite toward the Disciples of Silicon and their warring ways.
In the shadow of this new lunar event, Brejna doubled down on her efforts to gain a larger foothold of the continent. She sent her best emissary, fresh off an eye-opening experience with other realms and cultures to the people of the Radiant Valley. This time, their attempts were well received and the people there began slowly integrating Rikathi into their numbers.
Although the Seekers of the Sphere had distanced themselves after the lunar collapse, the Rikathi sought their allegiance was more important now more than ever. When the children of starsign returned home, the Rikathi sent their best hunters to track down what was left of the Seekers in the area. The Rikathi also sent builders to the Zavestra's kingdom to aid in building a new observatory. Their fear that such a collision could happen again outweighed the concern that such a building would take far too long to be built in their own courtyard.
The Rikathi also began a methodical release of their own traditions and merits to those in the Seekers, giving this newfound relationship a foundation based on truth, faith, and honesty. The Seekers seemed to look to the heavens for protection and answers, while it was made known that the Rikathi have their own patron that does not reside in the stars. To further this particular dichotomy, Brejna solidified a group of knightly figures that would adhere to the old ways by protecting the physical vessels while the spiritual one was still that of the patron to command.
