History
Samarnia was settled approximatley 3000 BC by a tribe of Egyptian nomads. They accidentally travelled to The Second Realms and didn't know how to get back, and created a colony on the large island they named Yolguni. The tribe developed and grew larger. They created an enlightened civillisation and were flourishing on the island by 100 AD. They had three large cities and a large gold-mining industry in the mountains to the north. But in 112 AD the Rutchians put their sights on Yolungi. They were also an advanced culture living on the island of Rutch since the creation of The Second Realms. Rutch was barely a day's sailing from the eastern Samarnian coast, but little interaction had happened between the two. The Rutchians did know, however, about Samarnia's expansive gold mines, and as a people they were obsessed about gold. In June 112 AD a fleet of 45 Rutchian galleys sailed into the port city of Ankodion, and their army prepared to sweep into the city. But Ankodion was completley quiet: not a soul remained. This was not an elaborate trick, however. When the soldiers barged into a house, they found dead bodies lying on the floor and beds. Nature had beaten the army to destory Ankodion: a deadly plague killed off 30% of the island, and 90% of Ankodion.
