Burmecians

Burmecian History

Pre Siesatia

Burmans are a rat like people who lived on the Mist Continent. They were there before the humans emigrated from the Forgotten Continent. They took to living in the westernmost corner of the continent, an area where rain was never-ending. During the next 400 years, they advanced much, and left their period of isolationism. During the famed ‘Mist Wars’, the Burmans were almost wiped out by the fanatical forces of Queen Brahne, the queen of Alexandria. This act of genocide caused the mechanically inclined nation of Lindblum to attack Alexandria, and drew everybody into a massive, deadly, war. The war officially ended on the date of Queen Brahne’s death. Both Cities of Cleyra and Burmecia were destroyed. Cleyra was hit worst, with a 95% death rate, and complete obliteration of its buildings. The population had declined from about 100 million, to about 4 million. Facing extinction, they entered another period of Isolationism, although this was frowned upon by Freya, the hero of the Burmecian Kingdom, until her death 35 years later. Almost 200 years later, a great plague swept across the Mist Continent, and infected all the cities. Burmecia, because of its long period of Isolationism, was not hit very hard. However, Alexandria, and Lindblum’s had a catastrophically high death rate, less than 2 million humans survived. The Burmans pulled through, and cured the remaining population. However, 2 million humans was not a great genetic base, and the remaining population died off.

Present Day Burmecians

Many years later, a Siesatian scout craft was out exploring the area, its name just so happened to be the ‘Gaia’. They made it just in time to see the Burmans decelerate from FTL travel, and instantly sent out communiqués. Siesatia was in the process of looking for a new planet for their ever expanding population to relocate too, and the sparsely populated Gaia, was perfect. The first Colony ships set down less than a year later, and the Burmecian King signed over the entire empire, the United States of Siesatia began educating the local population, and building up cities. All the cities that had existed pre Mist War, were rebuilt.

Statistics

Burmans are an incredibly agile race, and prefer to be lightly armored and have their speed, than heavily armored and encumbered. They posses an advanced ability to jump, some up to a mile high, and many use this advantage in battle to their fullest extent. Polite and reserved, they are normally a fountain of good advice, and will not hesitate to take charge of any situation.

Military Value

The Burmecians form 100% of the Dragon Knight Corps. The Training facility, located in the deserts of Cleyra, on Gaia, are incredibly harsh, and no human has ever passed, or even survived.
