First Wars

The First Wars (100 BC - 90 BC) were the first major battles on Guwakian soil. At this period in history, Guwakiu was natively known as Yami, according to ancient texts. Yami was aggressively divided into five regions across the country: Horizon in the north; Fergesian in the south; Poli in the east; and Kefalio and Eirjion in the west. Raids were common during these times. For ten years, carvings and drawings show us feuds and out lashes between regions. The significance? War.

Reasons for War
For the first historically-known time, all five regions of Yami would clash in what would become the First Wars. These series of battles began on Mount Syon, living place of the king of Poli. The Jakou people called Horizon their home, and using this geographical advantage, took to Poli. Drawings depict violent attacks on the town and its people and the ultimate beheading of King Hermonus of Poli. This act sent a shockwave throughout the entire landscape. From there, Horzion moved south to Fergesian. From messengers abroad, the ruler of Fegesian, Rin Lankero, prepared for war; however, after days of a seemingly endless onslaught, the kingdom surrendered. Once again we are shown the horrific reality of a barbaric time: beheading despite surrender.

In the east, Kefalio and Eirjion combined their forces to halt the Horizon push, concurring the corrupt and depraved kingdom. After years of torture and relentless attack, the evil of King Jakou of Horizon came to a stop.
