sekioitusajat

Sekioitusajat, also known as the "Age of the Seikers," is a historical period that spanned from the 11th to the 14th century in the region of Sekia, located in the eastern part of the fictional continent of Eldoria. This era is characterized by the rise and dominance of the Seiker people, a nomadic tribe known for their exceptional horsemanship and strategic warfare. The Seikers were skilled in using composite bows and lances, which allowed them to maintain their nomadic lifestyle while frequently engaging in raids against settled communities.

The Age of the Seikers began with the unification of the various Seiker tribes under a single chieftain, Sekio, in the early 11th century. Under Sekio's leadership, the Seikers expanded their territory through a series of successful campaigns, establishing a loose confederation of tribes that controlled much of eastern Eldoria. The Seikers' military prowess and adaptability allowed them to adapt to the changing political landscape of Eldoria, often forming alliances with other powerful factions and engaging in diplomacy to maintain their influence.

However, the Age of the Seikers also saw significant internal strife and power struggles. The death of Sekio in the mid-12th century led to a period of instability, as various factions within the Seiker confederation vied for control. This internal conflict weakened the Seikers' ability to defend their territories and maintain their alliances, ultimately leading to a series of defeats at the hands of their rivals.

The Age of the Seikers ended with the defeat of the last Seiker chieftain in the Battle of the Broken Lance in 1395. The Seikers' territories were subsequently divided among their former allies, marking the end of their dominance in eastern Eldoria. The legacy of the Seikers, however, continues to influence the region's political and cultural landscape, with remnants of their language and traditions still spoken and practiced in some areas.
