Koramia and the Dawn of the Great Empire	Koramia and the Fall of Imperial Simmeria

Simmerian society survived under Imperial rule, but it was not a strong force in the world until one fateful day in 186 IC when a young man, reputed to have been the direct descendant of the last Simmerian king, discovered a flying ship near his hillside home. He found a way to board the floating vessel, and discovered that it was uninhabited and delapidated. Within the vessel, however, he discovered the rotting corpse of some sort of noble man of an alien culture, with a book clasped roughly in his skeletal hands. The boy, Garimund of Ryard, took the book to scholars, who pondered over it's meaning and language. Eventually, they deciphered that it was a holy book of the deity Vortumnus the Glorious, god of honor and chivalry, and promoted him as being lord of all gods, even over Lord Ptharos the Father. The boy became Garimund the Sainted, and he began to spread the word of Vortumnus across the land. The religion caught on with the people like wildfire, and soon they began to refer to themselves, as a religious group, as Koramians, after the name of their holy work, the Koram. With the Koram as their inspiration, the Simmerian people began to truly flower as a society; in some respects, such as in the area of chivalry and feudalism, they shined even brighter than the Empire itself.
