Mery: Difference between revisions

Line 51:

Following the abandonment of their initial Vintage Civ settlement, the Mery began to draw out their plans for their next iteration on [[CivMC]]. They planned the ''djani wirehtshig mehriteht,'' "Holy Realm of the Mery", also called ''djanimehri'' as a shorter name, or "Realm of the Mery". Although these terms would later be generalized to mean all the settlements of the Mery (in the plural form) and a name for any Mery settlement respectively, they anticipated for this to be the ultimate form of the Mery, now with their politics, language, and culture much more developed.

Sometime around June 25th, a group of players, having barely settled the land north of djani'hweh, were made aware the island was used by the Mery people, and negotiations began in order to work out an agreement between the group of new settlers (known as Khro'Kal), who plan on building inside a mountain, and the Mery. The two groups came to an agreement a few days after, enforcing mutual tribute and recognizing Khro'Kal as holding authority over the inside of the mountains of the land north of the river passing through Yoahdam's Cover.

==== Within Danzilona ====

~~The~~ nation with the most Mery influence outside of djani'hweh itself was Danzilona. When discussing where to settle, Danzilona offered for the Mery to establish themselves within their country, receiving special exemptions and protections. While the Mery ultimately decided to settle in unclaimed northwards territory, many Mery decided to play in both Danzilona and djani'hweh.
