[b]Backstory-History[/b]
Prior to the coming of the Vishput the land that now encompasses the Great Kingdom of Khino was controlled by the Four Kingdoms of the Khinoni, each kingdom encompassing the fertile valleys and basins along one of the major rivers that cut through the area. However, most knowledge of this time has been lost to the ages thanks to the coming of the Vishput; not even their language survived, and to this day the Vanara who live in Khino speak a language closer to that of the Vishput than to that of their sncesotrs. For when the Vishput made contact with the Four Kingdoms of the Khinoni, they would refuse to bow and serve the Vishput in any way. And thus came their downfall.

Not willing to abide this transgression the Vishput went to war against the Four Kingdoms, though to say battle rages across the mountains would be untrue. For the Khinoni had little interest in meeting the Vishput armies in open battle, preferring to utilize their knowledge of the terrain to arrange ambushes and rain arrows upon the enemy from afar. Unfortunately such tactics could not save them forever, for when the Vishput armies found a Khinoni settlement, the Khinoni were forced to fight to defend their settlements and more often than not were soundly defeated with those left alive being forced into slavery and servitude under the earth. And so it came to pass that the Vishput were victorious in their endeavours, destroying and sacking the cities of the Khinoni and enslaving all who were unable to flee into the mountains.

Thus begins the next chapter of Khinoni history: the centuries of slavery and servitude to the Vishput, whom the Khinoni know as the Julamagaro (meaning 'oppressors' or 'tyrants'). The oppressors and tyrants were apt descriptions of the Vishput in their dealings with the Khinoni, for not only were they 'barbaric' surface-dwellers their appearance lead to the Vishput to call them Bandara, which would eventually twist into the name the modern Khinoni use for their race. And the Vishput were all to happy to put the Vanara to work in their tunnels and mines and caves and pits, working them to death. Others were forced to take part in blood sports, to fight for the entertainment of their masters until they were killed or became injured to the point that they could no longer fight and were cast aside.

But all throughout this period of enslavement and oppression stories of what they once were lived on. Though there were no writings and eventually their own tongue was lost to time and replaced with that of the Vishput they still spoke of the time before their enslavement. A time where they were masters of their own destiny, where they reigned over beautiful hidden vales on the surface. And these tales kept the Vanara strong, kept the people from ever truly becoming complacent servants to the Vishput. There were several revolts against the Vishput, though each one ended disastrously for the rebelling slaves. And then the day came that the grand empire of the Vishput, built on the backs of slaves, fell.

I actually have most of my nation's history already thought out, I just need a little bit of time to actually figure out how to get it written down and into words. Shouldn't be too long, but it'll probably be tomorrow that I actually get to writing it down; it's getting kinda late. But I figured it best to at least get what I have down and claim my territory.

EDIT: Also, Dinh AaronMk, your signature(s) annoy me to no end. Most of them are cut in half and I can't see them in their entirety.
