Kung, Aridia

The City of Kung was founded by a man by the name of Qin. Qin moved to Aridia from Chaln-Ane to the city of Forn in the year 43. Qin was born in year 30, so he was roughly 13 years old at the time. He, with his parents Xia and Maruk stayed in the city of Forn for 15 years. When Qin was 28 years old, in year 58, he was recruited by the city’s exploration council to be a settler. Qin agreed and gathered up a group of nearly 100 people, the majority also being from Chaln-Ane. The group moved far north as per instruction and settled a city just west of the northern Noh’Garrian Mountain Range. Qin named the city Kung and the city flourished for years.

When Qin was 90 years old, in year 120, the Grand Council of Elders and Magistrates declared war on the East, but Qin thought nothing of it, thinking the East Coast, if it were to fall, would fall long before his city. In year 125 a large pack of Orks raided the city of Rensford and slaughtered all inside, thinking the city was Ellusi, as they wandered through the mountains. The Deizek Orks then began to pillage the surrounding area and eventually made their way to Kung where the people didn’t know how to react. The Orks went through the city and robbed and pillaged, but left the city standing. They left guards to make sure no one got in, or out of the city either. The leader of the Deizek Orks, Zek’Greshni loved the look of the funny square coins and the odd foods so he kept the city of Kung as his small puppet for many years. Finally, far after Qin passed away, in year 146 a group of vigilantes broke out of the city and were able to make their way to the closest city, Shink, where the local military was able to quickly to bring word to Fong, who quickly cleansed the city of Rensford and Kung.

The city of Rensford was never repopulated and remains a grim reminder to all of the horrors of Deizek. The government of Aridia also issued a law for all cities to be entirely surrounded by a wall to decrease the chances of such an event happening once again.
