Rise of Neo-Camvonia

At the end of the year 1789, the Camvonian Empire was finally coming undone. Elunia had been razed, the emperor killed, and the last pockets of imperial resistance were being stamped out by the men of Nikia and Hyren. Admist this chaos, a young member of the imperial family who led a detachment of Paladins led his unit out of the burning Elunia and into the countryside. They decided to head south into the Rivne, the former imperial province most friendly to Camvonians. By 1790 they had arrived in the heart of the Rivne, and they had picked up a significant following of peasants, soldiers, merchants, and anyone who still believed in the old Camvonia. Together, they marched into the heart of the territory of the Muhlukai. The Nikians searched for them at first, but their empire was fast disintegrating and they soon withdrew from the Rivne, creating a power vacuum. The Camvonians helped the Muhlukai become the dominant group in the Rivne, but they built their own cities and preserved a little piece of the old Camvonia in their new home. For many centuries, they continued on this way. Gradually, their culture and that of the Rivne began to acquire some similarities. At some indeterminable point, this new mix became different enough from the old one that the Neo-Camvonian Empire, as it was soon to be known, became a distinct entity. Bu 2150 they had, with the Muhlukai as seconds, forced the Rivne to submit to them, and the rest, as they say, is history.
