[QUOTE="barsoomcore, post: 15629, member: 812"] Hey SHARK! Good to see you! I love Indian history and also have a region that is Indian-themed in my campaign world of Barsoom. [b]Hinsua[/b] The land of Hinsua is a crowded and energetic place filled with a riot of cultures and ethnicities. There are the northern kingdoms, wild and savage lands that border the fearsome and growing religious empire of Caedmon. These kingdoms are peopled by proud, independent warriors who nonetheless have appealed to the Peacock Throne for help. The Peacock Throne is the legendary center of Hinsua, given to Hammas the boy-king by the Celestial Peacock as a symbol of his right to rule all the land. It sits at the center of the great spiral that forms Luc'Davarionne, the flying city of Barsoom. Now seated on the Peacock Throne is Alauddin II, the Hammer. He is a fearless and intelligent ruler who sees Hinsuan unity as the secret to resisting the Caedmon threat. He has granted to the northern kingdoms greater rights to raise taxes and train armies, and many of the kings are now taking their new wealth abroad, seeking mercenaries to train their troops in disciplined fighting styles. In doing so, Alauddin II has deeply offended the Harimat, the priestly oracles of Hinsua. They championed Alauddin's rise to power and assisted him in restoring the Peacock Throne after centuries in which Hinsua was ruled by the corrupt Pulaji, demon-worshippers and all-round bad dudes. They were ousted by a combination of Alauddin's political savvy, the Harimat's authority with the common people, and the muscle of the Mystics. The Mystics are a loose, wide-spread order of psychic monks (they include psions, psychic warriors and others among their numbers) who serve the Peacock Throne and own no other master. In the years since Alauddin's coronation, they have devoted their efforts to eliminating the remnants of the Pulaji. Lots of fun. [/QUOTE]
