Kemobrown 567 Share Posted May 4, 2021 CELEBRATION OF NATIONHOOD (Kunisato Utagawa. Kokugikan. 1853. Triptych Color Woodblock Print. Far Eastern Museum, Stockholm.) Our History For the past eight years the people of Yong Ping have sacrificed blood and sweat to bring us here today. Our people began as a humble caravan of migrants, fleeing a dark and colored past. But the pain of many years before is long since gone. The Cathant is but a faint memory in the back of the oldest elves' minds, and the separation of Li-Ren and Oyashiman are equally distant. For the past eight years the people of Yong Ping have worked immeasurably, giving their all so that their people may be safe and experience the new comforts that their home now brings to them. With a robust culture that reflects its diverse people, the arts of Yong Ping are shown in museums across the lands. Our merchants travel far and wide, and our goods find themselves in the homes of the northernmost towns of Alamaris. (Hiroshige Utagawa. Mariko, 20th Station. 1832. Color Woodblock Print.) The People of Yong Ping The backbone of the people of Yong Ping are the farmers and tradesmen, or the San Xiong Di. They feed the people and make wares that serve the people of Yong Ping. From the great walls that shield the city to the weapons in the army, finally in the food sold at innumerable stalls across the city, the humble laborers are celebrated and valued for their work. Next, the merchants are a lively folk. Providing trinkets and materials for common folk to buy, merchants help bring the world to Yong Ping. Whether it be the finest jewelry or Nordlandic decorations, merchants have found a way to provide. Serving the people is an equally noble task as any, and that is no different in Yong Ping. The government has expanded rapidly, with volunteers and officials filling the ranks of every hall of the Great House. Facilitating every aspect of life, these often unseen workers oil the gears of the machine of bureaucracy to keep Yong Ping alive. A Declaration of Sovereignty Today, we the people of Yong Ping, are proud to declare ourselves an equal of any people or polity on Alamaris. Our claims are settled, and our lands defended. We see a bright future for our people, and as such, must elevate ourselves on the world stage. Today we see it fit to declare ourselves The Jade State of Yong Ping. We claim the city of Yong Ping and her fertile fields. We claim the coasts to our sides and the fields north and east. With this declaration, we wish to secure our place in the world, and in history.

RoamingRonin 635 Share Posted May 4, 2021 The Samurai, Masamune Musashi, stands on the edge of the keep, overlooking the waters of Yong Ping. Eyes squinted lightly, the setting sun bouncing flickers of gold into his vision. If one were in his company, they would take note of the single tear streaming down his face, before falling to the stone below. Years of tireless work and efforts to set aside the differences of the Li-Ren and Oyashiman had finally felt like it had paid off. The two peoples live in harmony, and together, they could become stronger than they could ever hope to be apart. A deep breath in and an exhale out would escape the leader of the Bushi regiment, his head held high, chin tilted upwards towards the sky. A massive hurdle overcome, but there was still a lot more work to be done. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheWyrdWolf 1532 Share Posted May 4, 2021 A reformed pirate, seated as he were upon the port side of Yong Ping's ferry had his disfigured countenance and dark eyes set upon the sight of the open seas before him. Those dark eyes of his were wide with excitement at the prospects and endless possibilities that lay before the newly born nation."Aye, it be a good time to be alive. I cannae' wait ze' get out ze're. To the Jade State!" That old Captain would raise a wood mug of whiskey high into the air as the sound of firecrackers and laughter filled the bay from behind him.

"Weren't the Hou-zi enslavers of the Oyashiman people in Aeldenic Ai-Zho the Jade Empire?" The Kharajyr plucks out a historical text, flipping through it to cross-reference. He laughs singularly upon finding it, "Wow. The sheer irony!" Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

DrakeHaze. 2524 Share Posted May 4, 2021 James Fisher applauds the determination of the people of Yong Ping, having fought against many odds to achieve the peace and prosperity their peoples enjoy. "This is good news. Once this war has reached its conclusion, I believe it is time for me to take a well deserved vacation! What better place for it than Yong Ping." the pale man would state aloud in his home with a glass of wine, storing the missive away in the shelves by his stairs.
