   #Aishiji Aishiji. A strange country inhabited by strange people. People who, normally, wouldn't get along with one another. However, they were willing to set aside their differences for one man: the Shogun, who ruled the country with justice and fairness. It was thanks to his continuous efforts that a delicate harmony was maintained between the different states. But one fateful night, it all went wrong. The capital went up in flames and the land was plunged into turmoil. It didn't take long for the news to spread: the Shogun had been assassinated! Speculation quickly followed: "It must've been so-and-so!" "Those two must have conspired!" Distrust between the different states festered. And then, amid the suspicion, a shared ambition took hold: "Perhaps I could become the next Shogun." And thus, Aishiji went to war. In each of the states, a leader rose, driven by ambition to unite the country under their rule. Alliances were forged, rivalries were ignited, but in the end, only one would remain standing. This event would come to be known as… The Warring States of Aishiji.

   Aishiji is a fictional country, with a setting based on the Sengoku period (16th-17th century not-Japan) with low to mid fantasy elements. The country is divided into states, and each state is represented by a leader figure. These can be generals, tacticians, foreign parties... As of right now, the identities of these leaders are still unknown, even to Nazuna.

   Shogun

   The Shogun is (or, well, was) the ruler of Aishiji. Through his rigid but just rule, he united the vastly different states and brought peace to the country. For a long time, Aishiji prospered. Of course, that wouldn't last. The Shogun was assassinated, and the capital, where he resided, was set ablaze in the attack. Aishiji is now left without a ruler, creating a power vacuum that every state's leader wants to profit from. Nazuna has no particularly strong feelings about the previous Shogun, and she's not specifically rooting for any of the leaders to succeed him. She simply wants the war to end so her job becomes easier.

   Blazuna

   Blazuna is the eldest sister of the Tsukine clan. Her appearance largely matches Nazuna's, or at least, it used to. Instead of orange hair and fur, hers are blue. Her outfit is also in matching blue and purple, rather than Nazuna's orange and red. And then there's the changes since the incident... To put it bluntly, Blazuna died, pretty horrifically. We won't go into the details. Luckily, she was brought back to life, largely thanks to Sazuna's efforts. Her skin appears blue and lifeless, covered in stitches. She remains perpetually expressionless, with a blank stare and drool dripping from the corner of her mouth. But at least she's among the living again. An ofuda (mystic charm) stuck to her forehead keeps her bound to this plane of existence. Despite appearing lifeless and expressionless, Blazuna can still think clearly. Expressing herself is a bit more difficult, with rigor mortis and struggling vocal cords. Nevertheless, she seems content to be back from the dead.

   Grazuna is the second-youngest sister of the Tsukine clan. Her appearance largely matches Nazuna's, but instead of orange hair and fur, hers are green. Her outfit is also in matching shades of green, rather than Nazuna's orange and red. Grazuna is a loose cannon: easily distracted, completely unpredictable, and hyperactive. It's honestly a miracle she's even able to deliver messages. In the far-off future, Grazuna is destined to become very pregnant and the mother of a loving family.

Her outfit is also black and white, rather than Nazuna's orange and red. Sazuna may appear serious and intellectual, insisting on carrying a book at all times. However, this is merely an act: she is actually an idiot. Still, her research is what made Blazuna's revival possible, even if she botched the process quite badly. In the far-off future, Sazuna is cursed to become something called an "Office Lady", whatever that may be.

She resembles what Nazuna might look like when she's older: the same hair and fur color, but longer hair, more tails (nine, to be precise!), a more mature figure, and huge... tracts of land. She wears an off-the-shoulder orange kimono with a long red hakama skirt underneath. Mazuna is, as expected, motherly. Sweet, caring, a little strict maybe. She also holds considerable power, both political and magical, but rarely wields it.

   The Tsukine clan is one of the few truly neutral parties in Aishiji. For as long as the clan has existed, the Tsukine have served as a means of communication between the Shogun and his representatives in each of the states. Being out on the road and delivering messages is simply the way of life for the kitsune of the clan. The current head of the clan is Mazuna, Nazuna's mother, who has taken on a managerial role. Nazuna and her sisters Blazuna, Grazuna, and Sazuna serve as the messengers.

   Lake - Lake Buiji

   Lake Buiji lies at the heart of Aishiji. Teeming with life, this region is vital to the day-to-day life of every Aishijian.

   Traits:

   • Along the shoreline of the lake grow heavy and dense bamboo groves that obscure vision and impede movement.
   • It is ill-advised to seek out what lies at the bottom of the lake.
   • The dead do not remain buried here. Corpses must be burnt, or they will rise again.

   Neighbors: To the north of the Lake lies the Boreal Forest. To the north-east of the Lake lies the Cold Steppe. To the east of the Lake lies the Mountainous Basin. To the south of the Lake lie the Forested Hills. To the south-west of the Lake lies the Swamp. To the west of the Lake lies the Forest.

   Leader: The general of the Cantharellus is Russula, an individual who is earnest about turning all of Aishiji into Cantharellus. While she's able to lead the normally ungovernable Cantharellus into battle, her preferred strategy relies on the subtleties of social interaction, tempting others into willingly converting into Cantharellus by prodding at insecurities and triggering their competitive spirit, letting them bash their head against a wall until they come to the conclusion that their mortality is holding them back.

   Swamp - Yodomi

   Travel trough this swamp, more commonly referred to simply as "The Bog", is ill-advised. Still, some people have decided to make it their home.

   Traits:

   • Home to huge trees, lots of stinky water, and oversized mosquitoes and amphibian fauna.
   • Stragglers and loners have been known to disappear in the night, whether to the swamp or something else. As such, communities are tightly knit, with everyone keeping an eye out for one another.
   • Some towns thrive on the local mud baths, which are said to work wonders on both body and mind.

   Neighbors: To the north of the Swamp lies the Forest. To the north-east of the Swamp lies the Lake. To the east of the Swamp lie the Forested Hills. To the south of the Swamp lie the Grasslands. To the west of the Swamp lies the Wildgrowth. The Swamp is landlocked.

   Leader: Welcome to the Willow Baths. The mud will cure what ails you, and the owner will decide what you're owed. Try not to say anything you'll regret as she remembers all. But say the right words, and there just might be a bright future ahead of you. For a price she'll name later.

    Forest - Tsukigo

    A pleasant forest state with cold winters and warm summers. A wide variety of trees and plants can be found here, with coniferous trees becoming more frequent as one moves north.

    Traits:

    • Rare plants essential in high-grade medicine production can be found deep in the forest. However, they have a symbiotic relationship with a more hostile plant: a population of some manner of prehensile vine, that assault passerby and feed on their "life essence" for sustenance.
    • Contains several sizeable tracts of Yew trees, prized for making bows.

    Neighbors: To the north of the Forest lies the Boreal Forest. To the east of the Forest lies the Lake. To the south of the Forest lies the Swamp. To the south-west of the Forest lies the Wildgrowth. To the west of the Forest lies the Woodland Port. The Forest is landlocked.

    Leader: Tsukigo's representative is Umetsuki Senju, an agent hailing from one of the region's four forest-dwelling usamimi clans. When peace came to Aishiji, she traded her century-long assassination career for spycraft, now working to prop up the Kaedeji, Tsukigo's usamimi-favoring human rulers. Within a decade, she built a network spanning all of Aishiji: gamblers, courtesans, pirates, corrupt guilds. All feeding intelligence to their supposed masters, unaware their secrets funnel straight to Tsukigo's usamimi. Now that war has returned to Aishiji, she's itching to return to her old ways as well. Life-extending treatments keep Senju's body in peak condition and her wits sharp, but her mannerisms have degraded into those of a sleazy old hag. She insists it's an act to blend in with the lowlifes. The kiseru, however, has always been a part of her. Without Kizami, her mind will begin to fall apart.

    Woodland Port - Avysos

    Avysos is centered on a giant port-town that has grown organically over centuries, surrounded by equally massive rainforests. Unfortunately, progress has surrendered to decadence, much to the chagrin of its owly progenitor.

    Traits:

    • People born here keep being reincarnated with their memories intact.
    • This state is a state of the stars!
    • For some reason, long-term exposure to the land causes its inhabitants to grow much bigger than normal. This applies to human, animals, and crops.

    Neighbors: To the north-east of the Woodland Port lies the Boreal Forest. To the east of the Woodland Port lies the Forest. To the south of the Woodland Port lies the Wildgrowth. To the south-west of the Woodland Port lies the Underwater Coral Reef. The ocean lies along the western coast.

    #Boreal Forest - Shiramori A boreal forest stretches along the northwestern coast of Aishiji. Days with snowfall are more frequent than those without.

    Traits:

    • This state is locked underneath snowy days and gray skies. The sun has not been seen here in a long time.
    • This state is renowned for their art.
    • Ore stronger and more versatile than steel can be found in the ground. However, yokai are naturally drawn to deposits of this ore.

    Wildgrowth - New Merovingia

    A state known for its wildgrowth. Plants grow here at an accelerated rate. Great for crops, but let nature run its course for too long and your settlement becomes uninhabitable.

    Traits:

    • Through means natural or otherwise, their roles and physiology have been flipped between the sexes of this country. Compared to their neighbors, women are much taller, muscular and brutish while men are shorter, softer, and more effeminate.
    • A titanic sword lies half-buried in the earth, wielded by a great giantess warrior from ages past.
    • A group of priestesses (or priests) maintains a temple to an ancient goddess in the wilderness of this province. They are practitioners of healing and nature magic.

    Neighbors: To the north of the Wildgrowth lies the Forest. To the east of the Wildgrowth lies the Swamp. To the south of the Wildgrowth lie the Grasslands. To the south-west of the Wildgrowth lies the Peat Island. To the west of the Wildgrowth lies the Underwater Coral Reef. To the north-west of the Wildgrowth lies the Woodland Port. The ocean lies along the western coast.

    Leader: "By proclamation of Archduchess Theodora von Katzenweise, the Wildgrowth province of Aishiji will henceforth be known as New Merovingia, a crown holding of the Katzenweise dynasty and a province of the Merovingian Empire. This expansion of claims is a response to the threat posed to the Imperial colony at Trümmerhof and a reflection of the reality of Merovingian rule in the area. The Archduchess wishes the people of Aishiji to know that she is open to diplomacy with honorable leaders and that she intends to bring peace to the country by any just and prudent means."

    This massive island of peat had been adrift on the ocean for who knows how long before making landfall on the Aishijian shores. It most likely originated from somewhere overseas.

    Traits:

    • People in this region are masters of growing a rare herb with hallucinogenic and euphoric effects. It is commonly brewed into tea (mild dose) but some locals have experimented with concentrating it further.
    • Savage dinosaurs roam these lands.
    • The body ages far slower than the mind in this state.

    • Cherry blossom trees are dotted across the land.

He exhibits physical traits of a child: lithe, short, and adorable. But rest assured, he is not to be underestimated. This ‘general’ willingly extends a hand to others, even at the peril of his body.

    Underwater Coral Reef - Tatsu-no-Umi-no-Kuni

    Tatsu-no-Umi-no-Kuni (龍海國, also read Ryūkai-koku) is a fantastical underwater kingdom nestled against the volcanic coastal shelf of Aishiji, the great archipelago-realm above. Aishiji is a land of daimyō and shogun, of pine-clad mountains and rice-terraced valleys, ruled until recently by a shogunate whose sudden dissolution has thrown every vassal in earth and sea into uncertainty. The Dragon-Sea-Country is one such vassal, and a most unusual one. For centuries it has paid tribute to the surface throne in pearls, coral, and ambergris; in return it has received charcoal, tin, iron, and the assurance that the surface would not try to fish its waters. With the Shogun's assassination, that arrangement is now in jeopardy, and the realm beneath the storm-belt is deciding what it wishes to be. The realm cannot project much power towards the surface, but it is considered a powerful yokai kingdom. Lately, there has been talk in court about inviting and assimilating the kappa (or turtle-folk) tribes somehow.

    Traits:

    • Storms above these waters are harsh enough to blot out the sun for extended periods of time, meaning the people live in darkness for however long they last.
    • Naval skirmishes were frequent along this side of the Aishijian coast. Remnants of sunken ships, along with any weapons, armor, trinkets, and other artifacts they were carrying, were carried by the sea currents to these reefs.
    • Women outnumber men roughly five to one, which has visibly shaped inheritance laws, courtship, and more.

    Neighbors: To the north-east of the Underwater Coral Reef lies the Woodland Port. To the east of the Underwater Coral Reef lies the Wildgrowth. To the south-east of the Underwater Coral Reef lies the Peat Island.

    Leader: A young woman of courtly bearing, black of hair, styled long and straight as of a princess. She has a bright and cheerful demeanor as she negotiates on behalf of her most esteemed father. Your hairs bristle in her presence from time to time. She will not stop eating.

    • A shifting labyrinth exists somewhere in the hills whose entrance moves regularly, a legend that swallows the brave and foolish alike.
    • Inchlings are indigenous to the state.
    • The people of this region have a legend that says that, in their time of greatest need, a legendary ruler will reappear to lead them.

    • This state believes heavily in Tanegashima (japanese musket) use.
    • The land is populated by a variety of rodent kemonomimi, such as mice, squirrel, and gophers.

    A steppe region that's better known for its cold winters than its warm summers. While it may be dry, there is certainly something of value to be found here.

    Traits:

    • Due to the unpredictable weather and terrain of this land, many people live stationary lives, not traveling past their place of birth. Those that do are heralded as brave but also isolated from the community with some level of suspicion.
    • Thanks to occasional meteor strikes, this state's land is rife with both craters and whatever those meteors brought down with them.
    • An indigenous species of plant grows here that allows an incredibly slimy and lubricating substance to be crafted from it.

    • Due to the 'incident', only artificial 'humans' live in this state. With two exceptions.

    Traits:

    • An independent tribe of tanuki girls live here, pilfering from caravans and stealing away any able-bodied travellers who wander too far from the road. They have a murderous hatred of foxgirls, who smell like filth and are ugly.
    • Ancient customs of dress and style make it difficult to tell the men and women apart.
    • Due to a calamity that struck this state long ago, inhabitants no longer build their residences on the surface.

    Leader: Heralded by the bells strewn to her tail, gems and jewelry adorned over radiant scales. Her mark, placed upon summits few have reached and scratched within depths from which fewer return. A culture that strives for perfection in all facets. None more accomplished, talented, or beautiful than the ruling clan's daughter. Her older brother, pushed aside in the line of succession.

    Traits:

    • This land is home to a glacier-capped mountain that is considered holy to the people of Aishiji.
    • This nation is a natural fortress, with mountains and rivers as bulwarks against its neighbors. This makes trade and travel beyond it's own borders difficult, however.

    The mountains along the southern coast rise up out of nowhere, forming steep cliffs. Traversal from one side of Aishiji to the other is easiest through here, though that is only relatively speaking.

    Traits:

    • When standing on the cliffs and peering over the sea, one might occasionally spot a mermaid. Whether it's wise to engage with them is still up for debate.
    • The dominant race in this province is centaurs. Bushido culture is deeply ingrained: mastery of polearms, swords, and most importantly, bows, is taught from a young age.
    • Urban and rural populations of the same species behave almost nothing alike.

    Neighbors: To the north of the Mountains lies the Steppe. To the north-east of the Mountains lies the Cursed Desert. To the east of the Mountains lies the Volcanic Island.

    Cursed Desert - Arugin

    Dry and arid, this desert is a land bound to its past. Pockets of warped magic litter the sandy expanse, each showing sights which defy logic.

    Traits:

    • This land once worshipped an ancient deity of pacts and oaths, with certain rituals still persisting to this day. It is believed that breaking a promise results in a terrible curse.
    • The land is so rich in precious metals the people either only barter or use something else as local currency due to inflation.
    • Persistent sandstorms make it difficult to find one's way.

    Neighbors: To the north of the Cursed Desert lies the Dry Harbor. To the south-east of the Cursed Desert lies the Volcanic Island. To the south-west of the Cursed Desert lie the Mountains. To the north-west of the Cursed Desert lies the Steppe. The ocean lies along the eastern coast.

    Leader: Amita Oz Adi. Ruler of the Cursed Desert. A land unchanged from the dawn of thinking life itself. Save for what little detail there is on the commerce stamp that carry her name, little is known about Amita, and even less for the land she rules beyond its name: Arugin. Rumors and stories fill the gaps. A strange land of strange people. It is the cradle where life took its first steps, yet for reasons now long sunken alongside Ozymandias in the sand, drove the ancestors of every nation to take their cattle and travel outward. Currently, all that is known is that the masked girls are always ready to make a deal, their sands are made of gold dust pure as silk, and their lives are different.

    Steppe - The Crimson Horde

    The steppe is a region characterized by extremes, swinging between droughts and torrential storms every few months. The location leaves this state somewhat isolated.

    Traits:

    • (Almost) every person in the country was handmade by a higher being to serve a specific purpose.
    • Not much grows here aside from a curious plant: It absorbs ambiant mana and, if consumed in sufficient quantities, enables one to cast unpredictable spells.
    • This region was recently in its own smaller warring states era and just recently unified.

    Neighbors: To the north-east of the Steppe lies the Dry Harbor. To the south-east of the Steppe lies the Cursed Desert. To the south of the Steppe lie the Mountains. To the south-west of the Steppe lie the Mountain Caves. To the north-west of the Steppe lies the Mesa. The Steppe is landlocked.

    Leader: Very tall Oni diplomat futanari that would rather breed the shogun (or have a drink) than become one, sadly her higher ups asked her to investigate the position for the Crimson Horde. She is quite pleasant and motherly.

    Dry Harbor - Sanko

    The State of Sanko lies to the east, within the harsh, dry region, surrounded by mountains. Trade, people, and messages usually only arrive in this region by the sea. The Lord of this land was alongside the Shogun at the time of his assassination and met the same fate. His eldest daughter, Nobuko, has ascended to the title of Lord in his place, with her younger sister, Yasuko, acting as an advisor and tactician. Sanko fields a modest but well-equipped army of tanegashima rifles, but its main strength lies in its navy. The Emerald Fleet rules the waves of Eastern Aishiji, safeguarding their vital trade routes and projecting power beyond Sanko's borders. Sanko has relations with a foreign power named Tortugal, which is the source of their tanegashima rifles, the designs of their metal-clad warships, and the cannons lining up its broadsides. That nation hosts a trading post in Sanko's portuary capital city of Haganehama. People living in this region have a heightened sense of smell. Perfumes, herbs, and similar products are very sought after in this area. The citizens of Sanko are profoundly racist against Kemonomimi peoples and hold views of human supremacy. Within its borders, a cult that 'worships' Kemonomimis has set up its headquarters. Its members consider non-humans to be adorable and precious, but still lesser than humans. In general, Sanko is probably the worst place a Kemonomimi person could live in Aishiji. Nobuko has sworn to become the next Shogun, in order to bring justice to the people who murdered her beloved father. An interesting rumor is whispered among some of the merchants that arrive from Sanko. Apparently, the late Lord Aki was a very avid fan of female company. It is said that he sired bastard daughters with many women other than his late wife.

    Traits:

    • Despite bordering the sea, the air here is dry and thin, most likely due to the states surrounding it.
    • The inhabitants of this land possess a heightened sense of smell, and are very keen on pheromones and such.
    • Among the population of this state exists a sizable amount of cultists.

    Neighbors: To the south of the Dry Harbor lies the Cursed Desert. To the south-west of the Dry Harbor lies the Steppe. To the west of the Dry Harbor lies the Mesa. To the north-west of the Dry Harbor lie the Snowy Plains. The ocean lies along the eastern coast.

    Leader(s): With the recent death of Lord Aki, the two princesses of Sanko have stepped up to take command of the state in the upcoming civil war.

    Nobuko: Raised from childhood to become the next ruler, Nobuko is a charming young woman with magnetic charisma and a gentle smile, although she hasn't found much to smile about since her father died. Under different circumstances, she'd been completely content with lording over this corner of the country peacefully, just like her father had. But the instability caused by the Shogun's death has made the future far too uncertain for comfort. Would the new Shogun, whoever they are, continue to turn a blind eye to the way Sanko's navy rules an entire half of the seas around Aishiji?

    Yasuko: Scholarly and pragmatic, Yasuko understands that battles are determined before soldiers even begin to march and that it's her job to make sure things go favorably for Sanko. The sisters have made a pact with one anothe: should they come out victorious at the end, Nobuko would become the Shogun while Yasuko would be left in charge of Sanko and the Emerald Fleet.

    Both sisters are seeking justice for the murder of their father.

    Mesa - Solmaren

    Once an old mountain weathered by the elements, this mesa is known only for its scorching hot sand. Living here is not pleasant.

    Traits:

    • The people worship gods that take the form of various animals, and in their religious rituals they dress up as these animals and act as them.
    • This land was historically the testing ground for the ancients, and pockets of it are blighted by failed magical experiments, leaving behind strange environmental anomalies.
    • Some say they can hear the heartbeat of something buried somewhere deep beneath this land.

    Neighbors: To the north of the Mesa lie the Snowy Plains. To the east of the Mesa lies the Dry Harbor. To the south of the Mesa lies the Steppe. To the south-west of the Mesa lie the Mountain Caves. To the west of the Mesa lie the Glacial Mountains. The Mesa is landlocked.

    Leader: "The Solmaren state elects its leader through a mix of traditional ritual and family lineage. Mine was a feud. As it was tradition, nobody stood in my way. But their silence spoke volumes. I was called reckless by those who witnessed my decisions, and lazy by those for whom I did not act. Jingoist by some, disinterested by others who thought I did not care. In truth, I simply did not think them worth my concern. I do not know if all the pretenders for the title of shogun have true experience in reign, but those who do will understand what I am talking about. My country, save for its cities and magical anomalies, is sand and ruins. I do not have war-mongering desires. But do understand that in the wake of the roaring states, I have no intention of letting my country fall prey. My advisors have told me that, to outsiders, I am known as a gambler, taking unnecessary risks. One who has, so far, not left her country, that I craze on the magic of my state but forego the intrigue of my court... I guess it's not for me to confirm or deny. We will meet, whether through diplomacy or otherwise. We shall acquaint ourselves then, so do try to bring something worth wagering."

    Snowy Plains - Hakuboya

    Sitting atop a high plateau, these snowy plains appear to be stuck in an eternal winter. Life here is harsh, but people have learned to adapt.

    Traits:

    • Local customs and beauty standards have led to many flat chested wolf girls living here.
    • An earlier ruler once fancied this region as important to his realm and had an intricate network of canals built between the major settlements. Although some parts of the system are now in disrepair, it is still useful.
    • It might look like nothing is amiss, but the land above ground here is terribly poisonous. The underground is the only safe place.

    Neighbors: To the south-east of the Snowy Plains lies the Dry Harbor. To the south of the Snowy Plains lies the Mesa. To the south-west of the Snowy Plains lie the Glacial Mountains. The ocean lies along the northern coast.

    Leader: Ginko "the She-Bitch", eldest of the Kiroshi, the amalgamation of many disparate Wolf folk builder clans stripped of their titles, wealth and positions in the Shogun's court decades ago and exiled from the capitol in the grasslands, rumored to have been plotted by tanukis and foxes within the court. Those of her people that did not turn to petty crimes or were taken in by other lords on their way north settled Hakuboya (otherwise known as The White Wastes, Chonyn Tal, Ieyasu's Folly), sheltering from the poisonous gasses above inside the long abandoned canals below. The hovels the Kiroshi first settled into became buried cities over the decades of their exile, and the former scribes, architects and tradesmen turned to raiding their neighbors for both hostages to ransom and slaves for their own dark purposes. Now with Aishiji in turmoil, they seek to fill their coffers and cities with plunder and slaves, while taking their revenge on the still living nobility and courtiers of the capitol by seating themselves on the throne to be judge, jury and executioner for all those who wronged them.

    Archipelago - Shiki-Shima Archipelago

    Along the southern coast lies the Ashijian Archipelago, a collection of small islands with wildly differing flora and fauna between them.

    Traits:

    • These islands are littered with high lakes and caves all over, likely hiding precious mining resources.
    • One island in particular is known for a legendary creature: an untamable steed, galloping across the land without rest.
    • The seasons are in complete disarray on these islands.

    Neighbors: To the north of the Archipelago lie the Forested Hills, Post-Volcanic Hills, and the Mountains. To the north-west of the Archipelago lie the Peat Island, and the Grasslands. In the middle of the Archipelago lies the Prison Island. The easternmost island of the Archipelago is the Volcanic Island.

    Leader: Sankei of the Shiki-Shima Archipelago stands with absolute stillness, the dark fabric of his clothes absorbing the light around him. His skin is the color of bleached bone and possesses a slight, wax-like translucence. Most striking are his eyes: twin spheres of polished obsidian that lack pupils, reflecting your image back like a dark mirror. He does not blink. He does not appear to breathe.

    Prison Island - Shinitaru Island

    This island houses the largest prison of Aishiji where the most dangerous criminals of the nation are exiled. Although technically under the jurisdiction of the archipelago, this island operates under its own leader and social hierarchy.

    Traits:

    • A revolt took place as soon as the Shogun was assassinated and now the convicts have taken over the large citadel that served as a jail, as well as several small islands around it. They've also managed to capture a sizeable flotilla.
    • A mystical force prevents anyone from staying here for long, the length of time varying per person (~10-40 years). Either they leave before then, or they die.
    • When a prisoner once dug an escape tunnel, a large, naturally formed tunnel network was discovered. To this day, it has yet to be fully explored.

    Neighbors: To the north of the Prison Island lie the Post-Volcanic Hills. To the north-east of the Prison Island lies the Volcanic Island. To the west of the Prison Island lie the Grasslands. To the north-west of the Prison Island lie the Forested Hills. The Prison Island lies in the middle of the Archipelago.

    Leader: A fallen angel (tennin) cursed with desire, leading the people down the path of temptation and righteousness in equal measure. Raised among the rabble, his unorthodox faith once spread among the peasantry and the downtrodden like wildfire, to the point the Shogun and his monastic order branded him a dangerous heretic and exiled him to Shinitaru Island. He recently organized a revolt that overthrew the prison's citadel and now leads an army of fanatic criminals that follow him unquestioningly. Fond of bittersweet parables and poetry, he believes that for every carnal transgression a price should be paid… if not a punishment in itself.

    Volcanic Island - Akujima

    Sitting at the tail end of the archipelago, this volcanic island contains the only active volcano of Aishiji. It sits a bit off the coast of the mainland and is only a few kilometers in width and length.

    Traits:

    • Vicious giant insects pester the inhabitants of this remote island.
    • An extensive subterranean cavern network lies underneath the island, with indigenous bioluminescent and psychoactive mushrooms that are central to the island's strange local religious rites.
    • Beach birds make nests of white guano atop black sands, while sheer cliff overhangs where molten falls of lava cascade into the sea are dotted with caverns that have housed innumerable generations of bats, coating the cave floor in centuries of that same white powder that feeds both field and gun. The tropical interior of the island is dotted with natural hot springs where the villagers communally bathe in the nude, while near the volcano itself are geothermal vents lined with sulfur.

    Neighbors: To the north of the Volcanic Island lies the Cursed Desert. To the south-west of the Volcanic Island lie the Archipelago and the Prison Island. To the west of the Volcanic Island lie the Post-Volcanic Hills. To the north-west of the Volcanic Island lie the Mountains.

    Leader(s): On the other side of the bundai kneels a slender young boy, his delicate cheeks flush with signs of fever. "I am Akujima Ayato (操人), my given name is written with the kanji for loyalty and person. I inherited this station from my late father." Beside him is a girl around twelve, in the red and white robes of a miko, "I am Akujima Yuki, and I help Onii-chan with everything. Is the tea to your liking?

    All Oni are female visually, with futanaris being the stand in for males (the gender ratio is 65/35, with females being uncommon). Their sperm is extremely concentrated and potent, meant to be able to impregnate even the most desolate wombs, if the sheer volume of their load doesn't do that first. Their sperm can also hang around in the uterus for a while while waiting for an egg to be formed, guaranteeing first pick. With particularly virile Onis, the sperm can malfunction and permanently stay inside the female, essentially causing the mother to be in a perpetual state of pregnancy and birth. Thankfully, birth is accelerated compared to normal humans, being able to pop out a baby Oni in roughly half a dozen months.

    To an Oni, even a male mate can be of use, since they can impregnate the futa, or the more interesting option would be for the Oni to inseminate the man in a technical sense. Basically, what happens when an Oni ejaculates inside of a male's anal passage, their sperm has a chance to enter the bloodstream and will seek out the prostate and genitals of the male. They do this to overtake his testicles, outproducing and killing off the male's native sperm. Which means that if said male climaxes inside of a female, the baby will also be an Oni, even without one being involved. This effect can last for a few months, and like with females, on rare occasions, a male can be rendered "infertile" to his own kind as the Oni sperm make a permanent home inside his testicles.

    Essentially, once an Oni is in someone's family tree, their genetics will be dominant and will always show in the bloodline. After many generations, even this can be diluted. It would be rather obvious whenever the person in question has a propensity for alcohol, gifted musculature with little effort put in, and stands head and shoulders above their peers.

    Oni (male) genitals are naturally larger than those of other human-like species, with their testicles and prostates being equally sized. Especially virile Onis have been known to be born with a massive horse cock (a sign that the goddess has blessed them, or they are a descendant of a Dekastrier that got too bored), making even a well endowed Oni look small. Given all of this, Oni have a bit of a stereotype for non consensual sex, however, their body has a mechanism to make their partner a bit more malleable. When aroused, Oni genitals emit a very strong scent that can send any nearby woman into ovulation, even if they are off cycle. However, this effect doesn't discriminate, acting in a similar way for males, priming them to knock up whatever is close by. Due to this effect, some Onis have a habit of keeping aromatics and perfumes near their groin to lessen the effect on other races by masking the scent. Or using magical means.

    The nomadic people of the Crimson Horde, of course, also have horses. Though these ones are a bit different compared to what one might find in the rest of the world. They are large enough to make most fully grown horses look like ponies, and are far more hot headed (and horny) than a herbivorous grazing animal should be. This is because in ancient times, a horny Oni was a bit too drunk and, for some unknown reason known only to the Goddess herself, decided to bed a horse. Worst of all was that it gave successful birth, and being mixed with the reproductive instincts of an Oni, many generations later, we now have the iconic Dekastriers of the Crimson Horde. Taming one is hard, but if one manages to earn their loyalty, they will form a lifelong bond between the rider and the horse. They have an extremely high compatibility with Carnelians, serving them as noble war horses. Onis that specialize in horsemanship can perform feats with a bow and arrow that put most veteran rangers to shame.

    To no one's surprise, giant women who love fighting are in extremely high demand as mercenaries, and due to their natural loyalty, an Oni makes an excellent mercenary. The only caveat is that one has to be prepared to raise the future generation of Oni in whichever place there are a handful of them, as even the mercenaries will be fucking and impregnating anything that they fancy. Also, their demand for alcohol can be on the extreme side as well.

    The Crimson Horde is heavily inspired by Mongolian and Eastern European influences.

    Roughly 30 thousand people live in the steppes, with 25k of it being made up of Onis, with the rest being a mish mash of other races.

    The Carnalite Regency is the official name of the state, though it is colloquially known as the Crimson Horde, something everyone decided to run with.

    The Crimson Horde hails from the Steppe, in the North Eastern section of Aishiji. The weather here is steady, and it has built up a strong people with a semi-nomadic culture, endlessly trying to outrun long summers and brutal winters. The land here is covered in endless fields of yellow grass, with large scenic mountains to the South West border of the province and Mesa against the North Western one. Not much really grows here, apart from a peculiar herb, null grass. A common plant that sucks out all of the ambient mana from its surroundings, rendering it inert, and generally making it very difficult to perform the arcane arts in its presence (a royal nightmare for armies that rely on such abilities). How a magical race such as the Oni manages to cohabitate and perform magic with nullgrass around can only be described as the will of the Goddess. This plant, when consumed, will release all of its absorbed mana into its host, giving them the ability to cast wild, unpredictable spells (unless you are an Azurite). Given an Oni's physical makeup, it will also give them a significant boost in overall performance.

    There are multiple large cities that have been converted from their previous owners to what they are now by the Oni, with many nomadic settlements roaming around the countryside. Sitting in North West with its back defended by the Mesas, lies the previous jewel of a previous forgotten state - the capital city of the Crimson Horde: Hoshiguma, named after the legendary Oni that could break the mountains in two.

    Currently, the Crimson Horde is known by its neighbors for having boisterous, hard-working people, their sheer love of the drink and the countless festivals that they host throughout the years (in which they invite all manner of people to come join them). They also have a tendency to abduct people they like, as is the Oni way. The skirmishes are annoying (it's the non-con sex mostly), however, the Oni rarely actually kill anybody, though there are a lot of perturbed villagers wondering how they are going to feed their new horned kids. That being said, the women (and men) will be forcefully bred, or a rather perverted Oni will use her charm and allow herself to be bedded by a man. The mercenaries that are sent out into the nearby states are also seen as a fantastic boon, too, being a huge force multiplier.

    The Oni hierarchy is quite simple, really. The stronger/smarter the Oni is, the more social standing she has. The old Doji's had to be both immensely strong and unbelievably intelligent to be able to pull unification off.

    Doji's are the title given to Oni leadership; only the best of them can become one. Currently, there are a bout half a dozen of them or so, and they are led by two Onis that represent each side; Hoshiguma-Doji, a massive, legendary Carnelian Oni, and Yama-Doji, an Azurite Oni with magical powers unmatched.

    The first thing many notice about the Oni is just how large they are compared to other people, even the ones that would be considered Amazonian. The women, on average, stand at around 7 feet tall, and the futanari at around 8 feet tall. Their musculature is far denser and more efficient compared to other species, meaning that a single Oni has the strength of a dozen men or so, and is naturally born physically gifted. This does mean, unfortunately, that Oni are not the best swimmers. Oni also require an amount of alcohol to survive (naturally, they overdo this and have a particular penchant for sake, but they are master brewers of all things alcohol), just like water, and their tolerance to becoming inebriated is legendary as a result of this. It should be noted that one should never try to outdrink an Oni, as that can prove quite fatal. A defining trait of the species is their characteristic horns and elf ears, though female Oni's horns are usually smaller in size or completely absent on occasion. They usually have two horns protruding from their forehead, though it's also common to just have one in the center. Oni are extremely long lived as well. Oni have an extreme defense against any mental/illusionary spells and most magic, partially being magical creatures themselves and from their built up tolerance to nullgrass (also being used to extreme levels of intoxication).

    There are 2 main types of Oni, that being the far more aggressive Red skinned type, commonly known as Carnelians. They are closer to the classic stereotype of being a fight loving drunkard. Then there are the Blue skinned ones, the Azurites, these ones are far more dangerous as they are more methodical and intelligent compared to their hot-headed Red sisters. While Azurites may be physically weaker than Red Oni's they have a huge advantage; that being highly skilled in magic and shamanism. All Onis have the ability to cast spells, almost all magic that Carnelians can produce is used subconsciously to strengthen their bodies. Both types of Oni get a large power boost if they consume any nullgrass (especially Azurite's and their magical abilities).

    Of course, there are rivalries between the two types, but it's more of a sisterly banter. They are still under the same flag and are extremely loyal to each other. The divide was far more obvious in the old days when there were more pure Oni's running around, but not so much nowadays since their skin tones have homogenized to being a peachy sort of color. An Oni will be born with vibrant colored skin, but almost all of them will lose it as they grow older with their skin turning a more natural color, apart from the pure-blooded ones. However, in either scenario, an Oni's horns will still retain the color of their youth, so that is a consistent identifier. Hair color is also quite varied amongst them. The most common one is either grey or white hair for Carnelians and Black for Azurites.

    Due to the blood being diluted with the Humans and other species they bred and conquered, some Oni have begun to be born without a penis, being purely female. Some Oni females can pass off as a human woman as well (lacking the horns or pointy ears), just being a peculiar Amazon that loves alcohol.

    Onis are a rather simple yet honest people. Due to an extremely long history of infighting, they have a strong honor code amongst themselves. There is one thing that they despise greatly, and that is liars, with the worst sin being a betrayer.

    Most Onis speak using a rural sounding dialect, akin to Kantai.

    It's quite simple, the world of Aishiji is on the brink of something big happening, and the Onis are never one to shy away from a fight. However, the Dojis are very experienced with what a fractured world entails, and have taken an interest in the shogunate, mulling over the idea of bringing the realms underneath the Carnalite flag and offering the same freedom they did for their own people. The reason is that if you can wrangle an Oni, you can do anything. Of course, if someone else who is reasonable wins, that is fine too. An Oni wife will be there by their side in the end.

    It is said that the Oni were handcrafted by the local Goddess of war. In reality, it was the Goddess of Fertility who was tired of being outshone by her sisters and put her mind to making something for them to be envious of. They would sow their seeds far and wide, encroaching on conquests territory. And she made them natural born fighters and beings of magic, something that irked War and Arcana. In the end, however, the other goddesses found her creation to be interesting enough to keep around, and something to appreciate.

    Many millenia ago, the land before the Onis united was occupied by another state of human origin. Tensions were at an all time high between everyone at the steppe, especially when one day the Oni started appearing out of previously uninhabited regions.

    Before they became what they are today, the Carnelian and Azurite Oni were divided into many different tribes and nomadic cultures, commonly going at it with each other in many civil wars (over the most banal things), until the strongest girl from each faction fought one another for multiple days without rest. The battle ended in a draw, with the two realizing just how much their skills complemented each other, both brains and brawn working in harmony. Not long after, the tribes were united under one flag, and subsequently fell into a long unification party. The two Oni are the legendary Carnelian Hoshiguma and the Azurite Yama, who now lead the rest of the Dojis.

    From their newfound unity, they ambushed the surrounding warring states in the steppe and managed to quickly take over all of it within a few short years, mostly by breeding everything out there. They call themselves the Crimson Horde, as that was primarily the skin color that they once possessed, but having bright skin like that is rather uncommon nowadays, with the bulk of the population being made up of mixed heritage Onis.

    When the shogunate fell, the Regencies' neighbors made quick work of allying themselves with the state. Sanko and Arugin were the very first to reach out to the steppe, and everyone found the agreement prosperous. Later, after a war with Hakuboya, the two leaders of the opposing states realized they shared much in common and became steadfast friends, allying with each other.

    Oddly enough, the peat dwellers of Khotai have trekked across the whole country, reaching out and surprisingly becoming allies as well.

    Oni are naturally gifted in warfare, given their strength, durability, arcane abilities, and magical resistance.

    The bulk of the away forces are part of the Outrider army, being almost exclusively cavalry. They are great skirmishers and exceptional mounted infantry. Their preferred mount is the steppe Dekastrier, being one of the few horses that is as hardy as an Oni (and can support their weight). Most Carnelian Oni grow up and train with a horse from early childhood, making them crack shots with a bow and arrow while on horseback.

    If need be, there is also the Heartland army, whose main goal is to protect the borders of the steppes from any invading armies, though they usually work well together with the Outriders.

    Then there are the Azurites, who prefer to join the specialized Tengri Division and act as priests and mages in battle. Their magic abilities can empower anyone around them, or even themselves, while they cast wild offensive and defensive magics. They are well versed in their own respective arcane schools. Macromancy (size altering magic) is a personal favorite of the more perverted ones; however, its operation is usually quite strict in its rules so as to not cause collateral damage.

    Generally, the numbers are like so: Outriders: ~10000 troops. Heartland: ~5000 troops. Both forces have a mix of Tengri Division Onis as well.

    General weapons of the Onis: Melee weapon: Kanabo or Odachi. Ranged: Yumi bows (massive bows, with the smallest ones being 5 feet in height).

    Both armies can perform each others duty. The numbers are vague, since they rotate their soldier pretty often, with the old teaching the young and so on. Any Oni can join, as almost every Oni has had martial experience of some sort since their child hood.

    The Onis have no naval presence whatsoever, unless you count the small boats used for fishing along their lakes or rivers. However, they are allied with Sanko, who owns the Emerald fleet. The two states often collaborate by allowing the Oni to board their ships.
