Tokah

The Republic of Tokah is the smallest country on the continent of Eia, situated on the West border of ''Satus. ''Aside from isolated entryways, every settlement, town and city is located underground where the Tokahni population operates from birth to death. Being extremely reserved and cautious of outsiders, the Tokahni rarely ever venture above ground for anything other than hunting and resource gathering.

Yrdai-Tokahni War
Tokah was formerly part of the Yrdain Empire until their request for independence enraged the Primonarch JaihkunII in 1725. A year later, Tokah found itself at war with Yrdachai after Jaihkun's ever growing paranoia surrounding their secrecy brought him to near-madness. The war was, for the most part, fought on its borders when Satus allied with the defender, causing a devastating rift between the once-peaceful countries. The Empire's sheer size was enough to force Satus to surrender 3 years into the conflict, leaving Tokah completely open to the weight of Eia's most powerful military force, but their subterranean networks gave them an advantage unforeseen by the oblivious Primonarch. The Tokahni had set up traps beneath the surface that covered miles of open land surrounding their fortified entryways, lying in wait for the unsuspecting attackers.

In 1722, Jaihkun staged a mass ground assault to overwhelm an entryway suspected to be the closest point to their Capital, Subterreia. Over 100,000 soldiers marched directly towards the lone structure in the hopes that their mere presence would coax the Tokahni into surrender. As the Yrdain troops closed in on the weak point, their tight formation was shattered as the tens of thousands of traps were sprung in systematic coordination. Chaos immediately ensued as countless soldiers were killed in horrific explosions, and amidst the panic, Tokahni repeating cannons fired upon them from the entryway, picking off the confused survivors. The terrifying display of resilience prompted Jaihkun to send in air support in the form of gunrigs, which were mostly ripped out of the sky by the same cannons firing on the ground force.
