In other words, Corkus is literally so advanced they are able to create artificial LIFE with a mind of it's own without even realizing it

that is most likely why fruma keeps their people under control, because they can easily overthrow the queen.

Is it just me or are the Avos already in the game? Pretty sure I found a tribe of them near the Fruma gate. Also, factory helmet buff confirmed? Also Fruma = North Korea confirmed?

Gather round one and all, for I have another tale to tell, a new web to weave, so that you may piece together the mysteries of this land. Today's tale is of the largest and most ignored island in the ocean - Corkus.

Let's begin:

No one knows exactly when the province borders formed between Fruma and Wynn; such tales are lost to time. The Ragni mountains that dominate the landscape have served as a natural barrier between the contrasting lands, leaving only a single, well travelled passage through them to connect the two. The border has been closed for over a thousand years and is strictly regulated by the mysterious governing force of Fruma. Immigration has always been entirely a one way system. People leave Fruma, and enter Wynn. People who wish to attempt the opposite are more than welcome to try, however they are met with a hail of aggression from the Kai Shi, the Fruman royal guard.

The slow release of the Fruman population into the province of Wynn began a thousand years ago, at the start of Wynn’s Corruption outbreak. What is most peculiar about the situation is that none of the “recruits” seem to know anything about their origins. Information about Fruma is scarce to none due to this mysterious amnesia. The one-way arrangement has been in place for so long that it has become entirely normal and mostly unquestioned.

350 years ago, however, a splinter group left Fruma through the mountains on the northern coastline; a feat previously thought impossible due to the unnatural mountain range and another, heavily guarded passage. These rebels were highly skilled workers who, much like the Wynn recruits, lost the memories of their origins once they passed through the mountains. Confused, scared and vulnerable, they migrated to a large island close to the northern gate: the island of Corkus.

Back then, Corkus was an entirely independent, peaceful and self-sustaining nation. It’s sole inhabitants were the Avos, a bird-like humanoid that colonised the rocky terrain and steep cliffs long ago. Avos history is relatively unknown but their beliefs and practices are entrenched in spiritual and natural magic. Avos are truly one with nature and respect all living things, which explained their willingness to grant asylum to any refugees who washed up on their shores, regardless of origin. Thus, began the era of the Corkians on the island. But, while the Avos gave an inch, the new humans took a foot. The Avos granted them their own borders, and they steadily grew over the years. Today, the humans occupy the majority of the island.

The new Corkians, while still reserving the legal right to occupy and govern themselves, do not own the island. Although the lands are internationally recognised solely as Avos territory, a self sufficient neutral land, the real story is quite the opposite. Over the 350 years of dual occupation, tensions have grown between the two civilizations. The Avos, still clinging to their old spiritual beliefs, occupy the highest mountains where it is unfeasible for the Humans to live. The Corkians, in the lowlands, have forged a truly industrial nation. They did not possess any magical knowledge when they departed Fruma; such power was restricted only to those at the top of the Fruman hierarchy. However, left to their own devices for a few hundred years, skilled Corkian workers soon discovered they were capable of harnessing the most obscure of the arts: electromagic, the magic of machines. They utilized the plentiful natural resources of the island to develop the most advanced and magnificent creations to aid them in everyday life.

Currently, while tensions are at their most severe, neither the Avos nor the Corkians are seen as the enemy. Both have remained allies for the most part. The Avos have enjoyed the advanced medicine and aide from their industrially adept Human guests, while they have maintained their traditional hunter-gatherer lifestyle. However, one major disagreement between the two groups has caused a rift between them. The Avos are fundamentally against the environmentally destructive wake left by Humans, and in response erected a wall as a symbol of their displeasure. The Corkians did not react at all, instead attempting to maintain their positive and peaceful relationship with the island owners without ceasing their industrial activities. The ocean has been considered a neutral buffer zone between the three provinces for some time, leaving the occupants of most islands somewhat unrepresented (With the exception of Selchar). Corkus, however, is no exception. The Corkians seek international recognition from the other provinces as one of their own.

While the Avos simply wish to exist in harmony with the wind and waves, this was not enough for the new occupants. The basic Human need for recognition kicked in, and the Corkians were determined to get it. Their method is not through conquest or economic domination, but through the display of their technological might. The Corkians are indeed ahead of their time; the closest the Villagers ever got to a independent machine was a horrific mix of flesh and steel. Though the machines of Corkus were impressive, they paled in comparison to what they called their national monument: The Factory. The factory is a massive facility from which all of their machines originate. Capable of producing an army in a matter of weeks, it would surely prove to the other provinces that Corkus is deserving of international representation, especially since it may prove to be indispensable as a tool against the corruption.

Teething problems have proved to hinder their plight for recognition. The electromagical force that governs the Factory seems to have an agenda of it’s own, and some machines have rebelled against their creators. The resourceful Corkians have since shut down the factory to fix the problem, however the land is still scattered with pockets of desperate mechanicals searching for much needed spare parts. Once they solve the problems of the Factory’s governing force, Corkus is likely to become an international superpower, as their ingenuity and industrial progression can no longer be ignored, regardless of the Avos’ situation.

My theory of our origin is slowly thickening. I can almost taste it.

I like the name of the fruman royal guard
Sounds very eastern

yes, "Kai Shi" could be romanized (Mandarin) for start. maybe meaning the guards are the beginning of something?
Can anyone clarify this, or is it something else?
