Midur Poda Aqung's Letter
This article is a work in progress!
Historical Details
Background
About a millennia ago, there was an attempt at mitigating the turbulent relations on R'komiq through establishing a unified government. The collaboration lasted roughly twenty years before imploding into a violent civil war. The dominant civilization of the region was the Möniq people, and they would emerge as victors of the war, having gained substantial territories and prestige. A not uncommon opinion from the very beginning of the union was that the Möniq never intended to share their power with other civilizations, but rather applied a facade of cooperation in order to infiltrate and manipulate their competition. There wasn't much practical evidence toward this perspective, until almost a thousand years later, when a collection of documents were discovered. The records were presumably collected and concealed by diplomat Yhimpa Gongo Kil, evidenced primarily by the nature of this letter.
Midur Poda Aqung was often recognized as head of state (not government) of the Möniq civilization before and during the unified period. During negotiations around terms for the union the Man Im Pat people were most hesitant toward Möniq demands. Yhimpa Gongo Kil was responsible for handling Man Im Pat communication and negotiation, and his methods were controversial among the Möniq due to being perceived as weak. As tensions grew between the Möniq and the Man Im Pat, it would seem that Midur impulsively wrote Yhimpa this letter, venting her dissatisfaction with his efforts.
Why Yhimpa kept and protected the documents isn't known, though as the overall nature of their contents provide evidence toward Möniq plans at taking over the region it's suspected that he wanted people of the future to know of this. He may not have expected it to take almost a millennia for his collection to be unearth, however.
Public Reaction
The discovery of the Overturn Documents (of which Midur's letter is a part) was an influential part of the final dissolution of monarchy in R'komiq. The position of Molghö was substantially limited at the fall of the Möniq Empire, though royalty still enjoyed substantial resources as awarded by the state. After the empire's fall many cultures negotiated independence. There was a growing resistance toward Möniq culture ubiquity and the Molghö in extension across R'komik, which culminated in the murder of Molghö Qhuf Iqhur Pötsjugh along with her entire family. The release of the explosive event is often accredited the Overturn Documents because their content indicated the long-standing suspicions that the Möniq were planning to overtake the R'komik region during the union before the Kihiq civil war.
