Arisparikohos

The Kingdom of Arisparikohos is a mythical kingdom attested to by oral tradition and, since 2688,, archeology. It existed in Erserce from around 2600 AS to 2000 AS. The Gwenyan ancestors of the Arisparikohans are thought to be common with the Gwenyan forebears of the Pallathantic Tribes and the later Moigthe, both of the Donavish Branch of Old High Gwenyan. Archeologers have found evidence for technology consistent with legend, including chariot bearings, altars, burnt offerings, pottery, jewelry, and grave goods. The period of Arisparikohos, 2600 AS to 2000 AS, corresponds with the Middle and Late Bronze Age of West Asdauria.

The mythical king Amirsìn attributed to the second half of the twenty seventh century before Salmakhamer is regarded as the founder of the Arisparikohos Kingdom. Legend recounts that Amirsìn was favored by the sun god, Amrulon, and gained the power to return to life, but only under the direction of the Isxinthion Gods. He took to wife the woman Gondne whose father was the son of the god Fimorg and a mortal woman. It was prophesied that whoever married the woman Gondne would have the power to rule all the chieftains but only amid great warfare. Gondne had already become a widow for her first husband was slain in battle.

Ersercese Nationalist Propaganda

Ersercese nationalists have used archeology to bolster support for independence from the Aurician Empire. For this reason, archeology in Erserce has come under closer scrutiny of the Aurician Home Office.
