The artillery battery was unfortunately static, but, more fortunately, Pernigov’s defenses against brute-force bombardment were minimal, with the Gorvikians having largely depended on the Isaurians’ inability to approach their infrastructure in great numbers for their security. The smoking sky lit up in flashes to reflect the firing of a two-mile-long line of artillery to Pernigov’s east, punching even more craters into the foundations and bedrock of the town and, hopefully, collapsing several of the tunnels and corridors under the surface and bathing whatever was left within them in flame. For generations, barbarous hands committed unspeakable deeds in the crumbling houses, the carved-out halls, and the narrow warrens of Pernigov, while the last ghosts of Kosin wailed for someone to rescue their homes from Gorvikian desecration, until… until, finally, Aurus Adeni came, and brought with him Biotians in their thousands. Burrowing underground to avoid the worst of the caustic air, the Gorvikian masters of Pernigov expanded this decrepit ruin into a functioning community once again, centered now on sentient sacrifice, unending ritualized combat, and the production of rudimentary arms and vehicles for the new campaigns across the corpse of Noverra. Naturally attracted to ruination as the Gorvikians and Bruvalks were, they found the neglected wreck of Pernigov to be a useful center of control over the blasted Rusnyan wastes, and settled into the decaying town accordingly. While the capitals of Noverra turned to ash in the midst of an inferno, Pernigov remained, and remained still as the centuries piled on thereafter, watching on as the rest of Noverra crumbled in its neglect.
As a consequence, when the Isaurians unleashed the fiery hell of Reclamation, the inevitable destruction brought down on Cherwarz, Rucigrad, and the other centers of Gorvikian control was never visited upon the already-shattered economic wreck of Pernigov. As the next several decades progressed, Gorvikian and international interest in Pernigov died almost entirely as it contributed almost nothing to the Gorvikian war machine, with even the Gorvikian military barring entry to native Kosinites hoping to find some way of supporting their families and communities. At that time, Pernigov experienced some growth as residents of more important cities like Cherwarz were permanently relocated to make way for Gorvikian colonists, on whose support the new puppet regime depended for its domestic survival, but the area’s lack of serious industry meant that the increased population only exacerbated the economic troubles already affecting the region. Present in Guntherite and Mastropan records as early as 950 AV, the old city, situated in a fertile river valley, had grown as a regional center of moderate importance by the time that the Republic of Kosin was forcibly dissolved to make way for the Gorvikian puppet state of Rusnya in 1406. Pernigov had not been built to be a fortress. “Unified under One Banner, One Reich, One Emperor” The Interplanetary Federation of The New Equestrian Federation The Eratius Conglomerate of The Ebony Republic The Jalisquillan PR of The Prussian Raumreich The Council Republic of Greater Istanistan
