==Mythology== | |||
In a time lost to memory, Riiga was an uninhabited wasteland void of life, containing only grey dust and grey skies, slowly crumbling away into the void. Zhuboshtiv wandered into this land and sat down on a rock to rest. He fell asleep and awoke to find that the land had swallowed him up, and he felt such pity for the wasteland that he gave his body to it. His fingers and toes extended upward, forming forests and mountains, and as he cried his tears formed the seas. Caves gave him access to air to breathe, and roots hold the land together, preventing it from slipping into the black void below. | |||
Zhuboshtiv bore a god for company known as Bizhjen, but this being soon abandoned him and went to another cave to make his own beings. Zhuboshtiv created other gods too, but one by one they all left him for a life on the surface. Ksevan, the greatest of Zhuboshtiv's children, wandered into a tribe of people who were excellent hunters, and who made offerings to Zhuboshtiv, thanking him for holding the land together. Ksevan was so impressed that he decided to stay with these people and he gave them knowledge and power until they grew to become the Bymir people of old, after whom the lands are named. | |||

According to their tales, the Bymir people inhabited almost all of western Armalia. Even [[Qarbak]] history describes the Yvatshun once living in Sheber, back when it was greener and cooler. The Bymir were so in touch with nature and Zhuboshtiv that they saw relatively little in the way of major conflicts. | |||

Go here for Yvatshun culture. For a visual timeline of Riigan history, go here. The following page describes the largest power in the respective areas at the time. Some gaps and overlaps occur, and many ancient dates are estimates.
Mythology
In a time lost to memory, Riiga was an uninhabited wasteland void of life, containing only grey dust and grey skies, slowly crumbling away into the void. Zhuboshtiv wandered into this land and sat down on a rock to rest. He fell asleep and awoke to find that the land had swallowed him up, and he felt such pity for the wasteland that he gave his body to it. His fingers and toes extended upward, forming forests and mountains, and as he cried his tears formed the seas. Caves gave him access to air to breathe, and roots hold the land together, preventing it from slipping into the black void below.
Zhuboshtiv bore a god for company known as Bizhjen, but this being soon abandoned him and went to another cave to make his own beings. Zhuboshtiv created other gods too, but one by one they all left him for a life on the surface. Ksevan, the greatest of Zhuboshtiv's children, wandered into a tribe of people who were excellent hunters, and who made offerings to Zhuboshtiv, thanking him for holding the land together. Ksevan was so impressed that he decided to stay with these people and he gave them knowledge and power until they grew to become the Bymir people of old, after whom the lands are named.
