Tetzobsha (Brokenbronze) is the first real fortress made by the Nation of Pearls, and was funded in 125.
Altho it relied on experimental and now vastly outdated technology, it is still considered to be the father of all pearlite fortresses, and its success in keeping order in the western subcontinent is what inspired Queen Uzu to order the fundation of Thomocemir, five years later.
This is where the earliest soldiers of the country were trained, but altho where the architectural style of the whole country started to bloom.
Even if now Tetzobsha is an aging fortress, widely surpassed in technology and defensive power by Thomocemir, it remains the sturdier stronghold and has been tasked, for 17 years, to insure the security of all the pearlite settlements in the western side of the Land of Oak. And this is where our story begins.

As the attack took place in autumn, there would be a long time before officials from the kingdoms would notice Tetzobsha had gone silent.

The central settlements always had been a prime target for bandits, especially deserters from Osme Empire. Until 130, where troops from Tetzobsha were sent and thinned heavily their ranks, this area was among the most insecure places in the kingdom.
Defeated bandits, however, left a lot of stashed loot everywhere in the north of the settlements. However shunned, the profession of looter suddently became a viable one for the local farmers.

Lady Gisu and her husband, Lord consort Ulet, are the landlords of Lemhuhqihu, and are quite a peculiar bunch.
Lord Ulet, specifically, had been a bounty hunter for his younger years, hunting down criminals that would infect the southern cities.
He married Gisu during his travels, in 107 and soon after had their first child, but the man didn't stopped his profession as a hunter.
Two years later, in 109, he challenged a bandit leader, axeman called Hustra, who had already claimed the lives of two previous hunters sent against him. The two men fought for a long time, and Ulet cut one of his hands during the fight.
However, Ulet was defeated and had to retreat - but the wound he inflicted to his foe would later lead to his capture and execution, in 113.
The same year, they had a second child, that history will remember, as he would grow to become the sword teacher of Thomocemir, and be known as "Captain Thrathnu"
Gisu became the lady of Lemhuhqihu in 117, replacing the previous lord Thur, who died the year prior in the battle of Kostupu.
