Region: Equilism

The Monkye used to do much work on tracking our history in the past. And we are occasionally studied, and occasionally copied, by others around NS. Our Office of Records and Statistics has alot of our history:

If by exhausting you mean an excellent opportunity to spread the glorious truth about our chosen region, then I agree! The history of Equilism is rich with tales of wonder, majesty, and inexplicable plot holes. For instance, do you recall the story of our great founding? Equility, the Lawgiver, led the first Equilites in a sacred and entirely planned exile, during which all but the strongest died. Then, casting the mighty warhammer, Giant-Face-Smasher-of-Doom-and-also-Passable-Meat-Tenderizer-if-in-a-Pinch (our ancestors being a verbose and sometimes literal bunch) into the sky, Equility declared that all the lands upon which the shadow of the hammer fell would belong to the people of Equilism. Then commanding his supplicants to close their eyes and keep them closed no matter what, Equility explained to the now unseeing Equilites that the sky had darkened and that an eclipse had consumed the sun! The people listened to their Lawgiver describe an awesome sight: the world was overcome by shadows, which silently danced before Equility as if celebrating the coronation of a newly crowned monarch, and all the beasts of the Earth fell prostrate before Equility, while simultaneously declining to make any of the usual animal noises or smells or really engage in any activity that would let someone of an unsighted disposition ascertain the presence of non-human entities! Hearing of these marvelous and entirely unseen events, the people fell to their knees and paid Equility homage, their eyes still shut because they were a dutiful and highly obedient people, and behold the region of Equilism was born!
