A Bad Investment

13 July 2020

There are four primal gods in the Kry religion Klu (Sky), Terrat (Earth), Akynus (Water), and Igny (Fire). A fifth primal god is also sometimes worshiped, Aether, god of the Aether.

Odysseus Skylar was an imposing man, his presents were felt where ever he went. As the son and Kyfonta to the Kysar, Kyrin Skylar he was the centre of many important Kryizon social and political circles. Odysseus had achieved major victories as a young Legionary in the army. After numerous victorious campaigns and his father's health slowly beginning to deteriorate, Odysseus sort to focus on his political career, preparing himself for his eventual role as Kysar of the Empire.
Odysseus spent hours observing the Imperial court, learning its laws and customs, watching as senators and Proxa Carries cheated and lied. He watched as they laughed and talked policy to one another whilst simultaneously being deceiving and conniving to one another. Odysseus' observations had helped make him an astute politician and leader.
He had been educated from a young age to succeed in the role of Kysar, his father had him tutored by the world's finest instructors. Mathematics, science, history, close-quarter combat, military strategy, economics, politics, he was taught it all.
Odysseus spent much of his time as a Legionary talking and walking with his soldiers, as well as with the citizenry. It was one of his favourite things to do, he would often wander the streets of Kyzon City, admiring it chaos whilst engaging with the populace. This made Odysseus a favourite among the people, even more so perhaps than his father. Kryizon however, did not deserve a leader this divine, fate would see to that.
In late 52 SC, Odysseus escorted by 12 guards began his walk through Kyzon City, outside the upper districts. This was not uncommon for Odysseus, he believed he was well-liked enough that he didn't even need protection but bought it just in case. These were not just regular soldiers, as a member of the Imperial family he was protected by Crimson Guard, the most elite soldiers in the Kryizon army.
Soldiers who had outperformed in regular duty, and were then hand-picked and trained as personal protection loyal to the Kysar. The streets were filled with citizens who wanted to gaze upon the Kyfonta, peasants, merchants and slaves lined crowded into the narrow, dark backstreets.
Odysseus and his entourage entered an even narrower street than the previous ones, it was made up of tightly packed, multistory buildings, with very few exits. The crowd had begun to slow down the Kyfontas movement, the opportunity for an ambush was perfect. Silently men dressed in blue cloth and wearing golden face masks appeared from the crowd and began to attack the guards. The surprise had caught many Crimson guards by surprise and they were cut down immediately. The attacks armed with long silver daggers. were far more effective in the tight space than the Crimson guard whos swords were too ineffective in this close combat. Panic broke out and the crowd began to disperse, chaos erupted everywhere as hundreds of people tried to escape through the narrow, windy streets.
Archers appeared on the rooftops and quickly silenced the remaining guards, within two violent minutes it was over.
Odysseus lay dead, an arrow through the neck, surrounded by 12 bloody, guards.
The attackers were part of a cult known as the Cult of Acheron they claimed responsibility for the Kyfontas death. Not much is known of the cult, who they are or what their motives were. It is believed they server the god, Aether.
The rage Kyrin entered when he heard of his son's assassination was said to be so ravenous even Ignus the god of Fire shook with fear.
A great purge began that day, thousands found themselves being brutely crucified, as any suspicion that you had been involved with the cult and you were executed, without a trial.
Kyrin named Odysseus' eldest son, Aryatreus as Kyfonta immediately after the assassination, he then doubled the Citadel guard and sent word for the V Legion to return to the city. This was unprecedented as no Legion had entered the city walls since the Civil war, centuries earlier.
Odysseus' body lay in the senate for four days, one day for each of the gods. On the fifth, he was cremated in a funeral pyre outside the Imperial Citadel and interred in the Skylar Mausoleum. Aryatreus was given the name Odysseon in honour of his father.

When Atalyous Haydrynous the founder of Kryizon died, his funeral lasted for 17 days, Kyzon City tripled in population during this time. He was entombed in a mausoleum he had constructed only 3 months prior.

In Kryizon it's a criminal offense punishable by death for wearing the colour purple.

The Infrastructure Ministry approves of this.

Official Statement to the Citizens of the Kryizon Empire from the Imperial Government Regarding the Kymer issue, 521 FC

The glory of the Empire will span the entire world, this is known to us by the Oracles, who tell us the will of the Gods. It is our destiny to civilise the savage peoples outside our lands and create for them a better way of life. One with the Kysar as their leader and the Kryizon culture and customs in their everyday life.
Steps to achieve this goal were taken in early 495 FC, when Kysar Dyalos Haydryonus set forth plans to construct a colony on the Kymer coast. By 499 FC the first brave colonists had moved into this dangerous and untamed wilderness. Full of thick forests, with many dangerous creatures lurking under its canopy.
The settlement of Kymeroi was established and began to bustle under Kryizon control. However, isolated and besieged by terrible creatures and monsters from beyond its walls, its control had become difficult.
Terrible mysterious forces control that part of the world and many colonists began to fall victim to it, including the traitorous General Thevenyn Houdretus.
Houdretus sort out the mysterious forces and used it to trick his garrison into rebelling against the Empire. Immediately upon news of this treachery, an expeditionary force of 500 men were dispatched to subdue Houdretus and stop this mysterious wizardry.
The journey took several months, but upon reaching Kymeroi the men discovered Houdretus had used his cunningness and wizardry to fool the townspeople into attacking the soldiers. With the help of the town’s folk and mythical creatures from within the forest, Houdretus defeat our brave soldiers.
With no word from the expeditionary force, a half Legion was sent the following Spring, they however lost nearly half of their men in a landslide while crossing through a narrow mountain pass. However, the dedicated warriors that they were, they pressed on, and when they arrived at the Kymeroi they immediately began a siege.
The siege held for almost a year, however Kymeroi had been well constructed. Built by Kryizons finest builders it proved too strong to impregnate.
An entire legion joined them in the summer of 520 FC, but with threats looming on our Western frontiers, the Kysar could no longer risk an entire Legion and a half being so far from home. By summers end the siege had ended and the soldiers began the arduous march home.
Leaders in Kymeroi sent letters to Kryizon requesting the Kysar recognise them as an independent realm. While Kysar Fydica disliked this idea, upon Kysar Jyn Haydryonus coming to power he has since decided to accept their request.
It has always been Kryizon's destiny to rule all the land and sea, the Kysar believes this more than ever. But the Kysar believes that if the Kingdom of Kymer wants to rule independently they can. For that part of the world is fraught with danger and is too far away to be of economic and strategic value to Kryizon as of now.
Kysar Fydica believes that the best approach to secure Kryizon is to expand from Kyzon City outwards, making sure we never over-project ourselves.
One day we will take back our rightful land as destined to us by the Gods, but for now, we wait.
