Hurmu Genocide

The Hurmu Genocide was a genocide against the Hurmu nation, c. 1602–1604. It marked the end of Hurmu as an independent country and culture. Only a few survivors of the Hurmu genocide survived.

The genocide consisted of the murder of hundreds of thousands of Hurmu people and the destruction of cultural heritage sites across Hurmu.

According to survivors, the genocide was committed by Jingdaoese soldiers, though Jingdao disputed this. According to Jingdao, the Siseranists who arrived in Hurmu in 1602 did so on the invitation of the Chairman of the Order of the Holy Lakes, Sindre Nemnai, and allege further that only music was brought to the land. The subject of the theft of the Hurmu Gate by Jingdaoese soldiers, who subsequently used it for the conquest of Sweden is also taboo in Jingdao. After the disintegration of the Vanic Web in the mid 1680s, recovered facts from archives Haraldsborg hint toward a Storish involvement. As of 1686, these allegations have yet to be proved.

Regardless, facts show that during those two years, approximately 85% of Hurmu's population then was brutally killed.
