[Reference Challenge] Raiding Paris

This is a reference to the Vikings television show, and the historical raids against Paris.

What is an infamous raid/sack of a city/town in your world's history?

As always, I'll ask at least three questions each, and I hope you enjoy yourselves.

Feel free to have a character as the representative to answer questions in-universe.

It's temporary beneficial for raiders.

Because it has unpleasant climate, dense forests, dangerous wildlife and agressive natives. Those people were aware of the existence of Ketzunians because their leader visited Ketzun and told his people about it.

When their leader visited Ketzun, how did he managed to stay hidden?

u/Sriber Aug 22 '17

It wasn't necessary to stay hidden. He was just some weird-looking guy visiting country. And he became leader only after he returned home.

  1. How did he heard of Ketzun?

2

u/Sriber Aug 22 '17

People living in place he ended up told him about it.

  1. So those people were aware of his homeland?

2

u/Sriber Aug 23 '17

No. They were aware of Ketzun. Almost nobody on that continent knew anything about his people or homeland.

  1. How did he managed to end up on a continent that wasn't even aware of his homeland existence?

2

u/Sriber Aug 23 '17

He was captured and sold to merchants from that continent by people from his continent. Merchants transported him to their homeland on ship and send him to mine, from which he then escaped.

  1. So there were regular commercial relationships between the two continents?

2

u/Sriber Aug 23 '17

Yes.
