History

On the Rise of Cyninges

An excerpt from the collected writings of Witch Lord Bertwin Gisking Bearspear

 

The Cyninges Star System, now modest in repute, yet not without its own proud scars of history, was first settled by the Glessum Furse in the year 27,117 AA, during the long tide of expansion that followed the early conquests of the Glessum Scattering and Great Flight.

 

In truth, Cyninges bore the touch of civilization before the Furse ever cast their runestones on its soil. Scattered among the world were sparse Galan homesteads, quiet remnants of the Twelfth Fleet of Mann’s exiles, clinging to hearth and harvest amidst the long dark. But the Galan never claimed the system with strength or ambition. To them, it was a borderland, useful, perhaps, but peripheral.

 

It was the Glessum Furse, hardened by war and displacement, who carved Cyninges into a place of meaning. They arrived not as mere settlers, but as heirs of a fading fire, those who had fled before the Wergh, who had buried kin on nameless moons, and who sought not just survival but dominion.

 

Through long years of labor and intermittent bloodshed, Cyninges was woven into the fabric of the Catuvella Star Sector, becoming one of its seven major star systems. Yet for all its symbolism and stubborn pride, Cyninges remained the least among them in power, its fleets smaller, its holds fewer, its banners seldom raised beyond its borders.

 

Freya the Wergh-Slayer conquered the Cyninges Star System in 27,342 AA.

 

Wulfrun the Elder, while Crown Prince of the Star Kingdom of Gewiss, was crowned King of Gewiss and the Dralans at the royal greathold of Faykeep on the world of Cyninges, and then proclaimed and crowned High King of Drala.

 

Still, the wise know that weakness and insignificance are not always the same. I have stood upon the frost-cracked stones of Cyninges’ first holdstead and listened to the winds speak of futures not yet written. The stars remember, even when Mann forget.
