MunaZaldrizoti 8037 Share Posted May 10, 2016 ▅ ▆ ▇ █ eaѕтernerѕ ιn aeтнerмoor █ ▇ ▆ ▅ [] A Introduction [] As the summer winds blow onto the walls of Aethermoor, you might notice ships, of various size and design, approaching the docks. From afar, you might think it was a group of merchants, returning home with goods to sell in their homeland. However, upon closer inspection, these people look quite different, with red or black hair and wearing what seems to be...bathrobes? Who are these people, why are they here? Perhaps they were driven from their homeland, or just purely seeking adventure in a land as unknown to them as they are to you. Upon reaching an agreement with the Lord of Aethermoor, Lord Neero Saar, the various eastern cultures have all come together as one, hoping to find a home in Vailor. In the hopes of acquiring their own lands in the future, the Easterners are hopeful that their time with the people of Aethermoor will prove helpful and fruitful, and guide them on their path to rejoining the rest of the known races and cultures! THE Cultures ------------------------------------ The Chiyaki - a very modern culture who are descended from Orenian Explorers, are considered to have the most in common with the already-established cultures of Vailor, especially in their kept in belief in the Canonist Faith. The Chiyaki are quite proficient in celebration, holding a Harvest Festival every year in the Autumn Months. Men and women truly dedicated to such celebrations have invented quite a few items to help add to the fun, such as exploding colored powder and wands that sparkle when lit with a candle. They are also quite keen in fashion and art, always coming up with new ideas for kimonos, pottery, and jewelry. Everyone born in the Chiyoko Empire is raised to be quite passive and kind to others, only a few men and women holding jealousy or hatred in their heart. They also fear leaving their islands, many of the previous generations of Chiyoki saying that contact with Oren and the other human kingdoms might corrupt their pureness. The Xian - The Xian are a numerous group of people from a distant land mass far to the east of those lands familiar to the inhabitants of Vailor and the previous lands known plainly as Xia. Or "Life" in their native tongue. The Xians are a truly ancient people, and their culture reflects that. Having been taken from many other lands they had visited or conquered, along with their status on retaining ancient traditions has kept these people from changing much over the course over their long and storied history. The Xian in their native lands are fiercely loyal to their lords, and in turn to the grand Jade Dragon Emperor. A title granted and passed down through different family lines or histories known as the dynasties. The Xian are extremely intelligent people as a whole, having their own writing and book-keeping systems since near the rise of their empire. They are skilled in navigation, astronomy, alchemy, and strange esoteric practices, along with the many exotic trades that exist in this faraway land. The Hatamoto - The more religious and superstitious of the three cultures, the Hatamoto are often ruled by a Daiymo, or a clan leader. Their are very devout in their belief in the Jade Dragon, and many a monk can be found amidst their people. Not much else is known, but many of them have begun to appear in Aethermoor, most likely hoping to start their life anew. These three powers in the East have come together in hopes of a new life in Vailor, and in the belief that it will bring their people together. The Chiyaki and the Xian have been in a alliance for a bit over a century, being that their islands sit quite close to one another, so they are a bit wary of the Hatamoto joining them in their quest.

Sky 0 Share Posted May 10, 2016 The Bull Druid reads over and could not help bust a gut at the phrase of; 'The Chiyaki - Phoenix Empress Riku Saefang of the Chiyoko Empire'. Turning to his dedicants, he sets them on the impossible task of locating this supposed empire and their vassals, wishing to find Aurojia's descendant. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
