Ankorrik



Ankorrik - Realm of Kings

Ankorrik was founded by a wandering band of men. Lost deep in the forests of the world. Miles from any civilization, the men decided to climb a nearby mountain in search of a familiar landmark. What they saw was a huge landscape of mountains, valleys, deserts, rivers, and oceans. The area looked fit for a king, which is how they named the area. Meaning literally, Realm of Kings.

They started by clearing a small alcove in the mountainside, where now the alchemists tower occupies. They built a small mine system, and farming land further down in the valley to keep everyone fed.

A small village developed over time, in the safety of the cliff face, as more people wanted to enjoy the fresh air of the local river.

Roads started to develop, and more houses, and eventually the first shop opened next to the town centre. “The Ore Emporium”. This local run business succeeded through the years, until this small village became a city.

It was around this time that a young boy started being noticed more and more around town. He was the son of a local restaurant owner. He would regularly be seen recreating military parades with his clay soldiers, and once he had grown of age he joined the local Ankorrik guard immediately.

This boy soon shot up the ranks, and after a decade, he was the leader of the town guard, & the city major held him in high esteem.

One cold winters day, a scream was heard from the mayors house, and by the morning the boy, who had now grown into a mighty soldier, was settling in as the new ruler of Ankorrik. Nobody ever found out what happened to the old mayor, and nobody dare ask. The Comrade listens to everyone, and see’s everything.

The Comrade, in his new seat of power started to train up the town guard, as soldiers, and within a year, more lands had been conquered in the name of Ankorrik.

Today, the empire of Ankorrik spreads for miles around. Anywhere the red & white flags hang, is controlled by the empire. Guards don’t take kindly to newcomers, and they don’t like people coming into, or leaving the city. It is said that most guards can be bribed for a certain fee, for permission to leave the city.

Rumors also circulate of various secret tunnels leading out of the city. Many disagree with the ways of The Comrade, & will do anything in their power to get him out of the city. They are said to use these hidden passages as their way of entering and leaving the city.
