Lynkeed

(lin'-keed)   

MAP OF LYNKEED

After just over 250 years, the longest era for Lynkeed, the city was overrun during the second Jumping War.  The wugs destroyed much of the city, drove all of the orcs out, and next to enslaved the remaining inhabitants.  It remained a trading post under Wug rule until 682, when the orcs drove the wugs out of the city.  With limited resources, the orcs left the city three years later, and Lynkeed was left to rule itself for the first time in nearly five centuries.

During this period of self rule, the current government and laws were established.  Most of the buildings were rebuilt and the temples that still exist were founded.  The self rule, however, lasted a mere fifty years before an ambitious orcish emperor re-annexes the city.  In 759 AC, the fifth Jumping War began and the city of Lynkeed grew quickly and became wealthy.  As a midpoint between the empire and its war on the forest’s edge, it was in a pivotal location.  When the war ended, the orcs, who had fought to a standstill, left the city.  In 768, Lynkeed was once again free.
