Backstory: In the years before the Trchig war, a small nation, known as Oplessan, dwelt in the desert that would later come to bear its name. The First One of this nation was known as Soag Chi, a determined, headstrong woman who encouraged her people to be independent. Soag Chi spent little time with her nation, travelling far and wide across the world, and so her people learned to live without her. They governed themselves, but when the war came to them, they were unprepared and without a strong leader.
The Oplessan desert held considerable strategic value for Trchkithin and her armies in western Humyti, for it controlled access to the lands of the Camiy Ayim to the north. Having secured the forests to the south for supply lines, her armies moved into Oplessan, conquering and enslaving the population with relative ease.
When Soag Chi returned from her travels, she found the situation very different to the one she had left. Armies of foreign soldiers patrolled the cities of her people, hunting down any who tried to resist the invasion.
Resistance itself seemed futile, for Trchkithin was determined to secure the region. Her allies brought great contingents from their armies to garrison the area, while men and women from their own nations quickly settled in to ensure complete control.
However, this influx of new citizens provided Soag Chi with an opportunity. She managed to enlist in the Qubik army, and from the moment of her recruitment chaos and fear began to spread throughout the garrison forces.
At first, the crisis seemed relatively confined, food supplies going missing, the occasional barrack burning to the ground, but as Soag Chi worked her way up the command chain, the disruptions became more and more widespread. A pitched battle in the centre of the Oplessan capital between Qubik and Trchkithin forces was traced back to orders for several armed patrols to move through that area, commanded to engage any other force on sight. In the darkness, and without any knowledge of other patrols in the area, the separate forces collided and began to fight.
As the chaos became more and more widespread, rebels amongst the Oplessan became more confident, striking across the nation at their oppressors. Finally, Soag Chi began to organise an insurgency. Her people were armed, supplied by weapon caravans led astray by her orders, and finally they rebelled. The garrisons, short on food, suspicious of their allies, and without enough weapons to equip the men at their disposal, were easily overrun.
It was then that the plan began to go awry. Trchkithin, at the head of her army, was returning a war to the east. She passed through Oplessan, expecting to be resupplied there, but instead found her depots in the hands of rebels. Determined not to make the same mistake twice, the command was given to wipe the pitiful nation from the face of the earth.
Only a handful of men and women survived the slaughter that followed, but amongst them was Soag Chi. They fled to the west, sailing over the horizon, and were never seen again. In that far away place however, Soag Chi met her end, and Ascended to take her place in the pantheon.
