| + | Yakami has a rich history of the written word, especially poetry and epics. There are many celebrated authors in their corpus, and while there is no mandated schooling system, even the poorest children are taught to at least recite poetry, even if they cannot read it. Mastery over language is considered one of the highest virtues, as the ability to use calligraphy to put the words onto paper with a beauty that matches the prose. | ||
| === Government === | === Government === | ||
| - | government | + | Yakami is divided into 150 fiefs which are ruled by a feudal lord. All 150 of them answer to the king, who is descended from the first king of Yakami, Shāndǎo. Yakami is a very peaceful kingdom, thanks both to the difficulty of invading it but also because the king's vassals are forbidden from warring with each other, and they stay true to their oath of loyalty to him. Most of the government's efforts go toward bureaucracy, |
| === Inhabitants === | === Inhabitants === | ||
| - | inhabitants go here | + | The people of Yakami are often honest to a fault, and very disciplined. Despite the peace of the islands, martial and psionic training is common. Many Yakami leave their peaceful homelands in search of gold to loot or evil to thwart in more barbaric lands. Yakami tend to have fair skin and dark hair, though their features resemble those of their Zhengen cousins. They often wear monocolor clothing with complementary sashes and shawls. |

| - | A few Poyna clans had remained in the far mountains, but Bā Shàng did not view them as a threat now that their numbers had been sufficiently reduced. Even without its psions, the conquering army would still have been strong enough to subjugate them. The small number of surviving Poyna were forced to teach the bronze smiths of Shāndǎo the secrets of iron in return for their lives. Bā Shàng would order the construction of dozens of villages dedicated to forging iron, allowing him to amass a large stockpile of superior metal weaponry. | + | A few Poyna clans had remained in the far mountains, but Bā Shàng did not view them as a threat now that their numbers had been sufficiently reduced.

| - | While Shāndǎo was entering an era of untold prosperity, Zheng was in decline. The Emperor had began to lose control over the various kingdoms of his empire, and rebellions were becoming more frequent. Bā Shàng took this opportunity to stop paying tribute to the Emperor. Obviously upset, the Emperor sent a small naval fleet to the island in an attempt to get Bā Shàng to pay. Iron had yet to become mainsteam in Zheng, however, and their invasion was halted with ease. | + | |
