It all began with Maraval, who asked the island for a new people: the Hesari, who would think and live together. The laws granted it, but charged their price: what was asked was worth more than a god can give for free, and in exchange the Hesari would eat more than anyone their size, would breed slowly, would not withstand a drought, would be fragile and would hunt badly. In the spring of year 1, 180 Hesari who had lived side by side took a name for themselves: the Methllerk. They raised their first settlement, Mueness, among the marshes. They put the community, strength and honor before all else. Among them the ruler was chosen by their own people, and they lived with one eye on the gods. The Methllerk set Tuelsue, of House Giasrial, at their head. She was ambitious, fickle and greedy.
Hunger stayed in Llaness for 5 years. At its worst there was no grain for 10 in every hundred mouths. Thegueth decided to ration the grain in Llaness, because his people put the community first. It was not only there: Mueness and Stianess went through the same in those years. The granaries were slow to fill, but fill they did.
Tuelsue died of old age in Llaness, already an old woman, after 13 years at the head of the Methllerk. She was ambitious, fickle and greedy. She left 2 children. The seat stood empty. By custom, the ruler was chosen by their own people, and Tiandskath had blood on his side. Four stood for the seat: Thegueth, Tiandskath, Chosuizan and Brausthaus. Thegueth, Tuelsue's son, was chosen with 14 supporters to Tiandskath's 6. What weighed most was a gift for command and the prestige of their house. The seat changed hands once more in these years.
Lluisgue, who headed Llaness, died of hunger, still young. He was ambitious, loyal and patient. He left 2 children.
The gods spoke twice in these years. “May the harvest of Llaness be so great that it will not fit in its granaries,” asked tidewright. The next harvest of Llaness would come blessed. The laws changed it: no god can make the land give more than half again what it gives; it was a good harvest, not one to burst the granaries. “Let drought fall on the whole island for ten years,” asked Oskel_77. A dry season fell on the fields of Llaness. The laws changed it: the laws grant a god no more than one season and one region; the drought fell only on Llaness, and only for a season.
So ended year 42 for the Methllerk: fear hung over the people, and discontent was growing. Lainchon still held the seat.
