History
Before the proto-pencils (ancestors of Wof, Freegl, Befek, and Markers) were banished to the Black Realm from the Enormous, the first nations were not formed yet. There was a grouping of a few races that eventually split up and ended up with the 16 nations, but that was in the future. The proto-pencils (henceforth called Wakabefek) had the two purposes of complexity and imperfection. They gained these from the fact that, with age, they would become less useful until they died. They were considered complex because the Marker subgroup, which split off very early, invented the shared Wakabefek language (Marker Language) and many more inventions.

Eventually, the Wakabefek (except for the Marker minority) decided that simple complexity and imperfection was an insult to their greatness, so they decided to convince everyone that they were the sacred group. "Wof (represents sacredness/The Pencil itself)" - the Yeb Wakab article, September 8, 2020 to Present. It didn't work. This act distanced the Markers from the rest of Wakabefek, as the Markers didn't agree with fooling other people into thinking they were sacred.

Because this was not a very major offense, they were not deleted, nor were they sent to Unexistence by Yeb Wakab (it didn't exist yet), but instead banished to the lands surrounding the Hole, doomed to have their new homeland eventually destroyed by it.

The Markers eventually started drifting from the rest of Wakabefek. Their ancient form of writing and language was now mandatory for civilizations surrounding the Hole, as the Hole was dominated by Wakabefek tribes. The Markers were thought of as the best part of Wakabefek by outsiders, which just made the rest of Wakabefek like them less.

The Wakabefek purposes began being split up to specific subgroups. The subgroup Befek (pens) was assigned imperfection, and Wakab was assigned complexity. The Markers were considered part of Wakab, even though they were the most distant from it.

At around this time, many cultures around the Central region knew about Yeb Wakab, but simply referred to it as the Original. The Wakab subgroup, before the Awefian Language ever reached the Central region, named Yeb Wakab after themselves and spread word that it was shaped like a Wakab, in the hope that aliens would treat them as "the chosen ones" once again. During this time Wakabefek was still considered a single region, even though they had the two subgroups of Wakab and Befek.

The Markers found out about this, and were about to warn everyone that this was all fake, but the Wakab couldn't risk losing all they've earned. The Wakab spread rumors to the rest of Wakabefek that the Markers had been possessed by the creature creating the Hole, and that nothing they say can be trusted. Due to Yeb Wakab being thought of as a member of Wakab, Wakab was reassigned to both Complexity and Sacredness once more.

The rest of Wakabefek quickly invaded the Markers and wiped every single one out, eradicating them from the Pencilcosmos. Half of Wakab (later becoming Wof), being pacifist, did not mean for this to happen, but all the Markers were gone and they had to make people forget about them.

After this, Wakabefek finally grouped up into three separate nations - Freegl and Wof (from Wakab), and then Befek. The members of Wof (Pencils), being pacifist, were considered the more sacred ones, and Freegl was given the purpose of complexity instead.

By now, the Awefian Language had been discovered in the Black Realm, and the Pencils were happy to adopt it, as it meant the Markers were one step closer to being forgotten. They named it after themselves and started spreading it around the Central regions in the hope that it would make all dialects of the Marker Language extinct (mostly targetting Freeglian, the only major dialect other than the one spoken by Pencils, Whag), but they never fully destroyed the Marker Language, which survives as Freeglian, and barely as Whag.
