The god Divine Pencim gifted this sacred land, called Kemet, as a sanctuary for its people to live in eternal peace and prosperity. Once ruled by the kingdoms of Enorm and Turnistan, this land was reclaimed by the ancient Gaundhillian people to become a refuge free from fear and oppression. The earth here is rich with gold and precious minerals, symbols of growth and harmony.However, the writings also foretell a dark future in The Prophecy of Ruin. After one million and three hundred thousand years, the vengeful force called Aspurus will rise against Divine Pencim. If Pencim falls, the continent’s peace will be shattered. The Turnistanians will return to wreak havoc, and the Enorm Ignorieren will awaken to bring devastation, threatening the survival of the Gaundhillian people and their sacred native species, the Nymphicus Pikulus.Yet hope remains in The Restoration of Eternity. Hidden within Anai Mountain in Piku lies the Green Pendulum. When placed upon the Pencimian Altar, it will summon Divine Pencim’s return, banishing all evil and restoring Gaundalah to its original, unbroken peace.Recent History and Current EventsIn the summer of 2025, the first prophecy began to unfold as war erupted, led by forces from Tristan, devastating much of Gaundalah. The second prophecy looms with the expected return of the Enorm Ignorieren on February 7, 2026, threatening the continent’s fragile peace once more.Culture and BeliefsThe dominant faith in Gaundalah centers on the worship of Divine Pencim, the revered creator god.
