Tlakalakan Migration (concept)

The Tlakalakan people arrived in the known world from far-southern Sarradon soon after the formation of modern Aversaria, and brought north a faith possibly as old as Ritualism. While their reasons have become muddled, along with the history itself, Tlakalakan tales agree they fled from two evil empires that rose to their north and south and conquered their homeland. The mysterious and advanced Adabyss is commonly theorized to be one. The migrations were disastrous, with repeated attempts to settle down and rebuild their civilization destroyed by natural disaster, foreign invaders, or interal strife. The longest period of settlement recorded in their history lasts no more than two generations, during which they were subjugated by a divine lord.

Tlakalakans claim that the repeated disasters result from Mavixar's Curse and Axemati Tlakalaktli, a legacy which followed them into Rojihlat Mara. Their Necentlal Tlakalaktli, established in the 2nd century IS, was plagued with infighting and rebellion, as they struggled to preserve their new home against both the native tribes of the region and the Ritualists coming from the north.

When the Far Eastern Mamuramat arrived in the region, they would ally with the Ritualists in return for Rojihlat Mara, only for a series of catastrophic defeats to critically destabilize their Federation. As their most recent attempt to find a home collapsed under the weight of rebellion and invasion, the Uakakloh made one more migration, fleeing Wardenites, Ritualists, and natives in order to reach the jungles of Cyrat.
