[QUOTE="Nifft, post: 1419956, member: 6562"] In all seriousness... [b]The Hegemony:[/b] Feudalistic empire that rules over the mainland. Not much fun. Employs samurai and dark ninja, hates pirates and true ninja. Looks like mainland China -- big, two rivers. There are some cool states with non-lame nobility, but most are corrupt. Few important celestial ruins. [b]Northern Wastelands:[/b] Area north of the Hegemony, lots of desert and badlands, not so good for farming. Barbaric tribes court ancestor-spirits for survival in the harsh environment. No important celestial ruins. [b]Ninja Island:[/b] Looks like Japan. Full of dinosaurs, true ninja, and monks (who guard the sacred ruins of the Celestial Court, which ruled the Earth back in the golden age). There are many different monk and/or ninja clans, and little peace between them. Trade ships between the Hegemony and Ninja Island are regularly assaulted by pirates. The temples of the celestial court are full of arcane and archaic machinery, from golems to nimblewrights, so even if you get past the ninja you're going to have trouble exploring the rich ruins.
