History of the Trykers, Children of the Wind

The Trykers are the result of the sixth genetic manipulation of the OmegaCorp.

2194
The Trykers meet the Karavan who spread the word of Jena, the mythology of the Great Dragon and the Prophecy. The Trykers, who then form a myriad of semi-nomadic tribes throughout the region they call Trykoth, take these teachings in their own way, with a certain detachment.
A Tryker (Wiksie) meets for the first time a Kami who tries unsuccessfully to communicate with him. Despite mutual misunderstanding, the Trykers are impressed by the powers of the Kamis and begin to worship them as spirits of nature.

2196
Trykers come face to face with Fyros from the northwest. Frightened by the newcomers who express themselves strangely, the Trykers flee but continue to observe the Fyros from afar. Scuffles sometimes break out, the natural curiosity of the Trykers pushing some to get closer to these unpredictable intruders.
The Matis riding the mektoubs make an incursion in the northeast of Trykoth and begin to hunt the Trykers dwelling there. Whole tribes are decimated or enslaved by the invaders and many Trykers are deported to Matia to serve as a labour force.

2197
Overcoming their reluctance, the Trykers contact the Fyros and request their help against the Matis. The Fyros refuse and even kill some of the too insistent Trykers.
Against all odds, the Karavan intervene and asks Zachini, the Matis King, to release the Trykers.
The slaves return home. The Trykers are very grateful to the Karavan and begin to revere Jena as the Nourishing Mother. These events increase the awareness among the Trykers, hitherto too carefree. The concept of a floating village is contrived as a form of defence.

2198
Floating villages are built all over Trykoth, each being held by a tribe. Trade is growing and it is not uncommon to see villages dealing directly with each other, although they are several days journey apart over water, to trade goods or to fish in the same location.

2201
A gigantic wildfire ravages the southern part of the Fyros Desert up to the shores of Trykoth. The Kamis ask the Trykers for help to fight against the fire but these, too frightened and anyway nursing a grudge against the Fyros, refuse. Smoke is visible even from the south eastern common borders of Trykoth and the Mysterious Jungle.

2202
The first contacts with the Zoraï happen when they approach the edge of their jungle to see where the Kamis came from after the wildfires and meet the Trykers, who like the mask and the strange gait of newcomers. The Karavan begin to denigrate the Kamis by branding them as "demons" but the relations still remain cordial between the two peoples.

2218
The Zoraï begin the construction of a wall demarcating their territory. Trading posts are, however, established outside, all along, to preserve exchanges.

2227
The Kamis teach magic to Trykers who see little application and take this for a game, at least in the beginning.

2246
Trade is flourishing and the Trykers exchange a multitude of goods with other peoples. The ports of Breneth and Jeniah have become high places of business. The barter system is beginning to become inadequate and quarrels increase because of unfair trade.
The Trykers invent and propagate the system of dappers which is becoming more and more sophisticated to avoid fakes.

2251
Trade and convergent interests lead most tribes to organize. The first Tryker federation is created.

2279
Birth of Saeven Ba’Nethly.

2287
The Matis built a dam on the Munshia river. The part that irrigates the territory of the Fyros is dried up and the latter are forced to increase the convoys of water supply from Trykoth. The Trykers accept but begin to dread a conflict. Secret negotiations take place between the Fyros and the Trykers.

2289
Thousands of Trykers and Fyros are working together to build a 30-foot wide aqueduct linking Trykoth to the Desert. Thirty large wind turbines create the flow of water. Fyros and Trykers merchants and warriors install fortified trading posts along the course of the aqueduct which encroaches on the Matis territory, which triggered the War of the Aqueduct (also called War of Civilizations) between the Matis on the one hand and the Fyros and Trykers on the other hand.

2293
The Fyros-Tryker alliance is strengthened. The Fyros promise their protection against the Matis in exchange for the maintenance of the aqueduct by the Trykers.
