What people choose to forget defines Cendomvita. While myths whisper of a great scourge, the truth lies in Orudara, the forgotten homeland. This disaster did not spring from nature. It rose from human selfishness and innate evil. Desperate for survival, refugees fled across the sea to the Cendomvitan coast, assuming the waves swallowed all they left behind.
Survivors carved small settlements into the wilderness. Isolated at first, these pioneers built homes along coasts and waterways. Over centuries, these outposts matured into towns and transformed into cities. This growth birthed a new civilization. By blending Orudaran memories with the harsh grit of survival, the people forged the Seven Kingdoms and Four Free Trade Zones.
Peaceful trade fueled this new society. Guilds formed to regulate every industry, legal or illicit, eventually unifying the kingdoms. The Information Guild emerged as the oldest and most powerful. Monarchies and trade zones alike entrusted them with gathering knowledge. In time, the Guild shaped and controlled the narrative itself.
Most inhabitants forgot their ancestors’ migration through neglect or design. Eventually, only one record remained: a massive stone tablet etched with the story of their flight and arrival. The Information Guild seized the tablet during its infancy.
Fearing the people might seek to return to the past, Guild leaders shattered the stone. They hid the fragments across the continent, ensuring no one would find them by chance. Instead, they left cryptic clues. These markers provide just enough for the initiated to rediscover the truth, should the need ever return.
