True that. And it's actually more likely that nations are assimilated into another nearby after a taxing war. Nations wane, and others take their place. Simple as that.

Umm...okay...I guess. This is going to be confusing, and you leave me to deal with the maniacs huh?
From the Kryekeshi* of the Gargari nation
To the Hathron and the Dula
We have carefully considered your proposal, and while we do not understand its origin, we agree that combating the Madmen of the east should be our utmost priority. The Gargari will accept military leadership; several Sheskryetar** bands are moving to take command of your forces as we speak. As for overlordship, that is something we did not ask for, and will have to think about in times to come.
Finally our Gods are not just and good *laughs* that is why we ignore them. The spirits of the land, the Isherori as we call them, however are helpful if you know how to talk to them in the right way, we would gladly help you commune with spirits of your lands and I'm sure they would bless your path of balance.

"What is war, but disorder? Truly, we have unleashed a horror upon the world. Never again shall we take the life of another Man. But if he is a heretic, then he is surely not a Man.
-High Elder Dominius, date unknown.

All Veritas was distraught as the dead were carried in. What would become a tradition to last through the ages was inaugurated, as the slain bodies of Veritasan soldiers were paraded throughout the streets. Embalmed with spices and incense, they were only laid together in a field, after three days of mourning.

"A man, once dead, is dead. If he was a good soul, his lot is Paradise. If he embraced the Void in his life, the Void is his lot."
-Guard Captain Adrian Chelas, 287 P.D

Never had the people seen so many bodies before. Not even in the most horrible tales of the Diaspora were there so many slain. The people laid them in the green, and wept for what seemed an eternity. It was at this time that the Elders met to discuss how to dispose of all the corpses. It had always, up until then, been the job of the family to dispose of their own.
They could not be burned. The air would carry their souls to foul lands, perhaps to hellish Zibon itself. If they were left in the open, they would stink and rot, with wild dogs consuming their flesh.
It was then proposed that they simply be buried. But to be placed in a dark cavern, away from the Light that was essential to following the One, would be unspeakable. None knew what to do...until a young assemblyman, also a Disciple of the One, came up with a suggestion.

In white stone, impenetrable, our dead shall be laid. Under our homes, ever protected, surrounded by Order. Besides their crypt a lantern lit, always trimmed. Their souls will repose in the Maxims, until the time when we return to Paradise.
-Assemblyman Marcellus, 291 P.D.

It was a labor of years, to make such a vision real. Many were crushed from carting and carrying the stones to Veritas, and their bodies added to the piles. Guards had the worst time of it, especially those protecting the bodies of the deceased. Fighting for their dead comrades corpses with rats, birds, and dogs was an unenviable job.
Under the Square of the Diaspora, however, it would soon be finished. A great shaft, extending deep into the earth. Many hallways branching off, into darkness. In all it's walls lay marble coffins. The name of each man killed in battle, and his sigil* were there inscribed. By now, most of the dead had decomposed so that their remains were placed into urns.
All the Assemblum swore never to let the dead lay unburied again, and exterminate the pagans that caused such suffering.
But in 292, the Great Burial occured, and for a time, all thoughts of War were forgotten.
There, the great underground chamber was christened the Catacombs of the Fallen, and two thousand men were laid to rest, according to the records. Every man fallen in war, for all eternity until the Second Paradise, would be buried there. So was it written, the Assemblum declared, and so shall it be done.

"The marble tombs are all our lot, eventually. But it is your task, soldier, to send the pagan heretic to the Void, before your own passing. That is why we fight. For the Maxims, for Veritas, and for the One.

On an Island far far away, A Khemrian Merchant watches the procession of Dead bodies paraded through the streets. He bowed his head in respect.
Next day he left for Khermia, Veritasian goods loaded on his ship. And thought to himself, "I must vist again, after a war, The profit on incense is lucrative".

THE PEOPLE OF THE NIGHT AND THEIR BOWS
Being tall albinos made the Aneyans eyes work bad in sunlight and perfect in stars and moon light and so as time passed the Aneyans went out less and less in the sunlight and more at the nights. Soon enough the night became the morning for nearly all the Aneyans, usually except the rich traders that had to also work at day with the other people from all other places. The people of the night emerged and with this several changes in the culture..
The ones full body clothes that covered all their body have begun to change, and became more complex. Now they had clothes that changed from full body coverage to just some for the nights, just for heating in the cold nights. Now others, but only at night, could finally see the white skin the Aneyans had, and it amazed many.. They were so different. With this new found different the Aneyans also changed what they believed in.. Many believed they are purer than the rest, white after all was considered the most pure color, and using this new growing ideas a new religion swept Tigot, a religion made for the Aneyans... but this will be discussed a bit later..
As already discussed the city of Tigot became a thriving trade center because of the need of the Aneyans for more food. Yet it wasn't only a blessing and the Aneyans soon needed to buy more and more with the development of their technology and culture. Soon the Aneyans may even need to buy new lands! When that will come the Aneyans will be but a mere memory of strange people.. And the emperor could not let this happen to his people or his realm. So he commanded the creation of the first roads in Aneya, roads that will be like anything else, roofed with the usual leather roofs the Aneyans made in Tigot. In this way the emperor could expand his realm into the nearby mountains and other places that has resources and roof those areas as well! This way the Aneyans could begin working for their own be it mining, bring wood and leather materials or just working in the farms. This tented roads as they were commonly named could also lead Aneyans to other kingdoms, that is if their leaders will allow the creation of this new type of roads. Speciall roads would also need protection and so the creation of a small defense outpost in the new roads had to be created, and with this a new army...
Rumors of a weapon that shoots small spears in the east came to the wisemen of Aneya and they quickly developed this machine for themselves. Theirs of course was different that the ones already invented in later to be known as Khmeri. The Aneyn bow was much longer and because of the natural height of the Aneyans they had a much better view at what that they were shooting. Not only that being albino made them shoot better at nights, and best at full moon(s) nights. The bow was the perfect weapon for the common Aneyan soldier and soon the archers class of the army was created.
The Aneyan archers, like their spearmen counterparts, weared full body clothes that were also quite thick and made of a special leader the Aneyans invented, one that could be used for easy removal of spears or arrows that got launched at the poor soldier. They were also thick to give some sort of defense against weaker blows of weapons. The archers became one of the top troops in Aneya quickly and soon bows were also common in hunting as they made everything so much easier.
And so bows became common and the king ordered a group of archers to be trained slowing for some time the creation of the school of thought and also the new roads thought of by the king were being created and for the first time some Aneyans could sleep and live for a bit outside of Tigot...
