Prologue
18:46 by Name: Shahril aka 'Death to Kittens'
I am trying to set the scenario as best as possible so that everyone can understand how this totally fictional country of Inurbia came about, historically geographically socially and etc. basically try to paint its origins in a realistic way as much as possible without compromising the 'fantasy'.
So.... here goes, prepare for the most boring part (or exciting for some) of the prologue, the HISTORY! i know many a people who hath feared this 7 letter word since primary 4, but anyway on to the future!!! (or past!!!)

Changing times...
From the Diary of one, Ijah III of RADNAB, competent son and administrator of Kayabeya, in the year 1842.
Ah, yes today the king hath ask me to travel to the capital in anticipation of the arrival of this foreigner. the king, my friend, hath told me that this man will change the country. i know not how, but i fear, the change will come and destroy the old order. but my king is my king nonetheless and i confer to him my best regards for this man whom i hath not met personally.
who is this man that the king eagerly awaits? My page hath told me that this man hailed from the country far north and to the east of that old and venerable land of ANIHCEE. Some foreign kingdom i presumed. My page continued, he said that land was of wonderous machines and buildings, men did not carry sail by the wind as we do but by the power of fire and water to produce steam. the had buildings of stone and metal, my page said.
As my page continued on the wonders of this strange land, i cannot but wonder, this foreigner, will he make our land like his? Only time will tell.
