'''Kogongu''' was a nation located on the southernmost continent [[Archive:Koganon|Koganon]], bordering the [[Archive:Arcadian Altanate|Arcadian Altanate]], [[Archive:Republic Of Lydoneia|Lydoneia]], [[Archive:Lethos|Lethos]], and [[Archive:Bal Duran(Location)|Bal Duran]]. It was founded shortly after the founding of its capital city, [[Archive:Kais Kogong|Kais Kogong]]. The nation was a hub for artists, scholars, and spiritual practices. They were content to remain in their own land, and tended to avoid wars on other continents.
 
The nation consisted of the towns of [[Archive:Kais Kogong|Kais Kogong]], Anchridge, Spadecrown, and Ginion. It operated as a non-hierarchical, politically anarchistic federation.

==Etymology==
 
"Kogan" means world, or more literally, plant and sea. During early encounters with an expanding [[Archive:Acquendavia|Acquendavia]], when asked who they were, the indigenous population replied with "Kogangi", or 'The people who live here'. This was interpreted by Acquendavians as being the name of their people, and rewritten as "[[Archive:The Kogongi People|Kogongi]]"
 
"Kogongu" is then an Aquendavian word meaning, Land of the Kogongi. Most Kogongi, however, refer to their country and continent as "Koganon". This word, literally translated means "The land where we live", although to the native Kogongi, it takes on a deeper meaning.
Line 60:
===Pre-Server===
 
Kogongu is the Native homeland of the Kogongi people. They were hunter-gatherers who occupied the North end of the continent. Following first contact with [[Archive:Acquendavia|Acquendavia]], they slowly became a somewhat agricultural society.
 
Many Kogongi were captured by [[Archive:Lothridge|Lothridge]] armies and journeyed east, where they were forced to study at the towers of philosophy in order to assimilate to Aquendavian ideas. Instead, the religion of Naism, made up of old Kogongi legends and philosophies mixed with the experiences of those who studied at the towers, was formed.
 
Following the death of Naia, Vasya went into hiding in her homeland.
Line 70:
Although the land has always been inhabited by the Kogongi people, the Nation was formed in order to establish legitimacy in the ever changing, politically complex world of Alathra.
 
At its founding, it was inhabited by Native Kogongi, including Vasya and [[Archive:Game Glider SKG|Game Glider SKG]]. Shortly after, [[Archive:Hargreevs|Hargreevs]] immigrated to the growing town.
 
A new town, [[Archive:Wahat Almarjan|Wahat Almarjan]] was founded by [[Archive:IAmTheSenate13|IAmTheSenate13]] on the 12th of April, 2021. After falling into disrepair for two months, it was restablished on the 29th of June, 2021.
 
===Ashina-Lothridge War===
{{Main|Archive:Ashina-Lothridge War}}
 
Being a peaceful nation, Kogongu did not take sides in the war. They did however, attempt deescalation many times.
Line 81:
In the days leading up to the war, Vasya met with Jupiterdude, another prominent religious figure to discuss the war, describing a prophetic dream she had, wherein a mouth devoured the entire world, and her along with it.
 
When Dizzeave was captured and enslaved by Lothridge, Vasya and Hargreevs journeyed to Lothridge to negotiate the release of Dizzeave, who was a neutral party. However, Kogongi and Acquendavian philosophies were so different that the two could not hope to reason with each other. Vasya admitted to having cast [[Archive:Grandpa_boob|Grandpa_boob]]'s [[Archive:Virtue Rhetoric|Virtue Rhetoric]] into the pit because she believed it to be incendiary and problematic. Grandpa_Boob responded by stabbing Vasya, who had no armor.<blockquote>''"The pursuit of power is fruitless, and cannot lead to anything but suffering"''
 
"WHAT????"
 
''<sub>-Vasya and Grandpa_Boob, shortly before Vasya's death</sub>''</blockquote>Realizing the war was inevitable, Hargreevs joined the Ashina Alliance in order to support her friends in Ashina. Vasya remained out of the fight, but gifted Ashina with one of three saplings imbued with the blessing of Namari, an ancient Kogongi priest. On the day of the battle, Vasya and Peridune of [[Archive:Bennessere|Bennessere]] set up a fully stocked medical tent to provide for soldiers on both sides of the war, believing that all deserved to be healed.
 
After the war, when Grandpa_Boob went on a murder spree following his exile for going on a murder spree in the name of Emperor KnightofNotch, Vasya attempted to reason him, intending to take him to Kais Kogong for rehabilitation, but was killed again in a blind rage.
Line 96:
 
=== Reconnecting with Voyagez ===
Following the brutal colonization at the hands of Lothridge, many Kogongi fled north, where they established the town of [[Archive:Voyagez|Voyagez]]. Though their culture had changed and evolved, they wished to connect with their ancestral roots, and so they requested to join Kogongu, which welcomed them with open arms.
 
=== Interactions with the PIB and Vasya's Exile ===
''Main Article: [[Archive:Ashina-Kingdom of God War|Ashina-Kingdom of God War]], [[Archive:Vasya|Vasya]]''
 
The [[Archive:Pact of the Immortal Blood|Pact of the Immortal Blood]] was an assignation guild that killed targets for pay. On June 13th, 2021, after completing a hit on [[Archive:Shepsicle|Shepsicle]], an attempt was made to assassinate Hargreevs. EpicMasterVic arrived at Kogongu, invisible and attacked Hargreevs. Between Hargreevs and Vasya, the attacker was easily subdued. They carried a note indicating that King RaptorJ6 of [[Archive:Senza-Nome|Senza-Nome]] had paid for the hits on Hargreevs and Shepsicle.
[[File:2021-06-13 13.37.24.png|thumb|The meeting to discuss the KOG conspiracy. From left to right: KnightOfNotch, Vasya, Shepsicle, ImmaNotScope, Hargreevs. Taken by Vasya.]]
A meeting was held in the Singing Squid Inn between Vasya, Hargreevs, and the Ashinian elite, including KnightOfNotch, Immanotscope and Shepsicle. The Ashinians were convinced that Raptor was working with the [[Archive:Kingdom of God|Kingdom of God]] to kill them. Vasya advocated for other theories, suggesting Raptor could have easily been claimed, also believing Grandpa_Boob of [[Archive:Lothridge|Lothridge]] to be involved. Her concerns were dismissed. Months later, a note was found by [[Archive:Dizzeave|Dizzeave]] confirming that Raptor and the KoG were not even involved.
 
In early July, Vasya was attacked by PIB assassin VonDaConMan. She died, but received a note warning her that she was still being hunted. She fled into the wild, and spent the following weeks living in caves. During this time, she lost all of her gear in lava, including her Elytra. She also wrote a number of books, including a 40 page journal, [[Archive:The Kaido|Before the Fall Part 1]], and Deeper. She eventually returned to Kais Kogong, after attempting to reason with the PIB and being killed.

===The Secession of Wahat===
After being a relatively inactive part of Kogongu for several months, the town of Wahat Almarjan made the desicion to secede form Kogongu. With Kogongu's approval, the town left Kogongu on July 21, 2021 and formed its own, religiously centered nation called the [[Archive:Arcadian Altanate|Arcadian Altanate]].
