Gion (gai-on)
There was once powerful nation deep in the shore of the Lake Gios. It's believed to be the predecessor of the Krin and then Valonian. Their territory covered the entire Lake Gios with the strong twin outposts at the main passage to the outside world.
The area around the Lake Gios was a very abandunt place, attracting and evolving the great species within this place, brimming the large lake with plants, animals, and of course, humans. Several towns was found around its shore. For sometime within this ecosystem they lived are full of harmony and chaos, until they eventually unified under the same town at the furthest shore known as Gio.
The people came and went to the lake via @gios, bringing the culture along with them, spreading it throughout the central and east region of the South Estisia. Many formed or migrated into existing cities like Knirk and Trart where the similar aspects to this civilization can be found like achitecture and choice of clothings.
It wasn't until the cvommunity were invaded and looted by Krin. Many cities was left abandoned, or destroyed. Plants creeping and crumbling marbles building to the ground, and when the water rose up due to the dam construction in 747 BVE, the only remnants of such cultural civilization, were completely submerged in substance of forgetting.
Nevertheless, what they've left behind was passed down to those outside the lake. The tale of cultivation has been integrated with Krin religions. The people being enslaved help shaping the Empire of Kritus. Even though the people doesn't lived in group like they used to, the lake itself become the foundation for such thriving empire providing with freshwater and irrigation - they even reconquered it back for a short time as their priorities even their weakened era.

Culture and cultural heritage
The tale of the brimming land and the myth of the grains, delicious plants and animals came from here, and it has been passed down up to these days integrating it into subcultures. The Millet Festival can be called like such without the Millet itself from this place.
It's such a shame that they are gone now. :(
