(Closest equivalent– Medieval China)

• Geography- Temperate forest with five always competing and occasionally united kingdoms.
  • An-Shih – 207k sq.mi.
  • Laio-Pai – 220k sq.mi.
  • Chang – 434k sq.mi.
  • He-jiang – 289k sq.mi.
  • Xihou – 207k sq.mi.
• Government- A feudal system with each kingdom ruled by a king. A powerful enough king can be elevated to Emperor, who in theory rules all the kingdoms through their kings.
• Population and Races- Human dominated society, but many other races and all are welcome if they toe the line.
• Culture- Respect of your rulers and commitment to society is stressed. A very diverse cultural heritage with a blending of arts and sciences from around the world.
• Economy and Trading- Consummate traders, although strive to be self-sufficient in all things. Have a particular fondness for unique items from exotic lands.
• Military- A few small, elite units, but largely rely on conscripted peasant levies for major engagements. The levies tend to be poorly armed and trained, but rely on overwhelming numbers.
• Allies and Rivals- Have no true allies, as barbarians (i.e. all others) are never to be completely trusted. Often are war with The Orkan Horde and/or the Theocracy of Rai-dul. They have a strained relationship with Tohongo. Spend much of their energy maneuvering against their sister kingdoms.
