[QUOTE="Arkhandus, post: 2134171, member: 13966"] In the extremely far east, along the rocky highlands of the Luviar continent's east shores, live the highly civilized but militaristic people of the Nientei Coalition. Nientei is a scattered collection of city-states and villages of the 36 Imperial Compacts, each Compact ruled by a sovereign Imperial Family descended from the original Emperor of the Nientei Imperium. The 47th Glorious Emperor of the Blessed Domains of the Nientei Imperium, Most Honored of Mortal Men, Dragon-Friend and Son of the Heavens, was murdered over a millenium ago by the demon lord Cururultar, the Bladed Tyrant, known to Nientese however as Ginachi-Hito Shinnaku no Oni Kai. Since the Emperor had no heirs or close relatives able to succeed him, the families closest related by earlier Emperors began competing to take the throne, but none was able to succeed, and by the ancient laws of Nientei they eventually had to concede that none could have the throne. Ever since then, the Nientese have awaited a new Son of the Heavens to bless their realm and become Emperor, but they are exceedingly wary of pretenders. One such pretender was an avatar of Ginachi-Hito Shinnaku no Oni Kai himself in a disguised form, which Nientese yamabushi ("mountain warriors", fighting priests) found out and banished, though it cost the lives of a few valued priests. Nientese lands have since been ruled as individual provinces, or Compacts, by the Imperial Families, who battle frequently with eachother and neighboring barbarians for territory, glory, and resources. Nientese battles are highly ritualized and intricate affairs governed by honored tradition, though most Nientese laws of combat do not apply when fighting those whom Nientese deem "barbarians" (which is most everyone non-Nientese, so far as they're concerned). Nientei is warmed by an ancient blessing, one that has been fading slowly since the death of the last Emperor. [/QUOTE]
