Editing Leaping Salmon Clan History (section)

==Balazar==

The leader named Balazar came from the northwest lands with his cult of Tharkantus and made many friends with the Votanki, both through his military skills and through his wisdom in dealing with the simple hunters.  We did not trust this newcomer, thinking he might be another adventurer in search of a kingdom. It took five years to prove himself a friend, and two more years before we agreed he should become King.  We have always had a distant relationship with Balazar and the citadels since this time.

Within five years he was hailed as the leader of all those peoples, and two years later he was crowned as King Balazar. His lands became the Lands of Balazar, later called simply Balazar after him. Ever since then the clans have revered him as their greatest hero and taken his name as their own. Balazar built two citadels and tried to bring agriculture to the region. The soil was too poor for such work, though. Balazar did steal a magical idol of Entra, the Sow Goddess, for his people, and since that time pigs have been raised at the citadels. Balazar brought the worship of Entra the Sow Mother to the citadels. They eat pig which is raise domestically inside and outside the citadels.  It is a good thing for those people, but not for us.  We do not eat such things.  They are filthy.  Balazar brought the worship of Tharkantus through whom we worship Yelmalio the god of light.  He provides protection against the Darkness Demons, the trolls, whom we loath and fear.
