Expansion

  • Conquest of Birga Peninsula

    Since Althalos ceased power as the top God of the island, the Nyerylandians have been encouraged and even pressured for war. Althalos brought with him to the island the viking attitude of war and conquest, which the natives adopted. Althalos communicated indirectly to his people, sending signs to chosen prophets to relay his messages. He instructed his men to attack the city-states of Drakoria to the west, insisting that they worship a set of evil Gods of darkness. SsiSsaron was their first target. The Gods of SsiSsaron proved themselves to be weak as the natives lost against the invading Nyerylandians. With the island taken over, they enforced the religion of Althalos upon then, converting the first of their targets.

    The next target of the Nyerylandians were the Kasurians at the north western border. The long trip took days on sea, and by their arrival the men were weak from the travel. They raided the coastal city-state of Dragonclaw but the forces of Kasuria proved to be far too advanced for the primitive, barbarian forces of Nyeryland. Most of the invading forces were wiped out, but some returned to deliver the news of their loss. It was then Althalos knew his people were not ready for the more advanced civilizations, so he instead decided to focus on another island near by.

    BalaNa-Shra is an island on the western side of SsiSsaron. It's natives were primitive pagans similar to that of SsiSsaron. It was another well earned victory, and also allowed the Nyerylandians to take control over all of the islands surrounding SsiSsaron. The next to fall was Tmamoshaa, and thus the entire Birga Peninsula then shared the religion of Althalos, and they lived war free for five years.
  • Failure in The Olde World

    After a prolonged period of peace, Althalos contacted his current prophet to tell the warriors of Nyeryland to bypass the lands of Kasuria and enter The Olde World, specifically Greece/Grreece. Althalos longed to prove he could rival the strength of the Greek Gods, so himself joined his men on a voyage that let them to Athens. Their barbarian like forced struck Athens hard, with as much force as possible, eventually overpowering them into submission.

    It was here that Athena the Greek Goddess (Althalonians believed her to be a dark God) fought Althalos in a one on one hand to hand combat. Althalos was skilled, but Athena had far more power herself. She was a full Goddess afterall, while Althalos was but a 1/4th blood demigod with borrowed powers from the Norse Goddess Sol. Because of his gifted powers, he was able to ultimately defeat Athena, but only by an inch of his life.

    As he fell to his knees, weak from the battle, Zeus and the other Olympians then all appeared right before him. They immensely overpowered him in number and class. They beat him in front of his army, beating into their eyes Althalos' true form; not a God but a man with gifts. After revealing the horrible truth to the Nyreylandians, The Olympians killed them all in a mass slaughter of lightning, waves, and plague. Althalos was left alive, but barely so. Zeus then drew from him his Godly force given to him by Sol, and locked it away in a magic box that he would then keep under his throne.

    Althalos was left to die, stranded on an island by the Olympians, where he eventually recovered and by himself built a vessel from the wood of the forests, and sailed back to Guildereim, without his Sol gifted powers. The Birga Peninsula still believed in Althalos' religion, but the Nyerlandian army was wiped out from existence.

    It was then, Poseidon was summoned to hurl a tidal wave at Nyeryland, insisting that if Vali, Althalonian God of the Sea was real, he would have stopped the attack. The tidal wave not only cleaned the island of all life, but also sunk it to the bottom of the ocean, where it would never be walked upon again.
