   Long before there was anything. Amaterasu came to be. For the first unknown amount of time she existed alone in the void. Where nothing existed. But after a long unknown amount of time. She decided she wanted more. And so she began to create. She stared at the canvas that was the blanke existance and began to paint. She started with the background, the void and vaccum of space. She painted it out for what appear to be infinity and then left it to expans further. She was happy with how it kept expanding, and so she moved onto the foreground. The universe. She painted each star and planet into existance one by one with details until she was happy. Anf she made that the slate for more universes to make themselves while she began working on the semi-final piece of art wirk before her magnum opas. The galaxies. Shr pantied them carefully, making sure the blueprint was perfect in everyway she could. Stars set up to make glorious pictures when alined. Planets that looked beautiful from any distance. And once she was finished she put it out into the universe so it could use those to expand. And she was finally onto her magnum opas The milky way, home of earth She began with the Sun. A Beautiful brilliant star at the center of it all. Then she began the planets, it began like everything else. But after she finished she decided that ine the third planet from the sun. Was where she wished to try something new. So instead of the broad strokes she used for most planets She took her time. She painted the hills, valleys, rivers, streams, oceans and, mountains with care different from the other. These were for something new...something alive. Once she finished the planet. She moved onto what would be on it. She put down her brush, and began to sculpt. At first it was one. Then two. Then three. Then hundreds of what she named. "Humanity". She sprinkled them across the world. And then. She began to watch. Watch them grow and evolve alongside what the planet naturally began to grow in its own. And she loved every second

   Ryōike: Marshland, lots of swamps and ponds. Omoshima is a decently small island between it and Setoki. it was where an ancient warlord claimed her throne. The city is still populated, though somewhat sparsely. They have a slightly different dialect from the rest of Ryoike. The place is largely forested and the entire center is a giant lake with a smaller island in the center of it, where the city was built Tamaki: A more desert like nation.a At the edges bordering the oceans its more tropical. It hold most of the ores that end up in trade. Tamaki and Ryōike have many trade deals between their resources. Tokaru: Tokaru is the second biggest nation. It has the second biggest city in the world. Second to Nördlingen, which is the largest city in the world. Tokaru is mostly plains but is the part of the world where Sakura trees grow natrually. Hachijō: an island off the cost away from the other nations. It is entirely mountaind meaning nobody lives there. The Spirit Forest: Is a forest in between Yasune and Setoki. The forest is the only play dead spirits can return to the earth. It is its own nation that no other nation owns. Every nation came to the agreement to leave it alone. Yasune: A nation of long plains, its the largest nation in the world, its southern border is Tamaki where Nördlingen, the biggest city in the world sits being split down the middle between Tamaki and Yasune. 300 years ago two of the major villages in Yasune went to war due to the two clans in those villages. This was cause by Aiko deciding to start something out of a want to see what would happen. Although Yasune prides itself on its history Hitomi: A nation bordering tokaru. It is one of the richest nations as it is home to the Great Amaterasu shrine. The shrine is rested on a large mountain nearing the edge of the nation. Setoki: Setoki is a nation that prides itself on its architecture and beaches. It is home to the village Aiko had burned down a few hundred years ago. The village has long since been repaired.

   Nördlingen: Nördlingen is the biggest city in the world. Home to many many humans and yokai. It was created before any Nations truley existed. When Yasune and Tamaki came to be their own nations, they had a dispute over who would get Nördlingen. But eventually they came to an agreement that the border would cut through the middle of the city. This treaty of sharing the city had Yasune and Tamaki natrually come working neighbors. But for the inhabitants the dispute was never really noticed and everyone there had just gone on with their lives. Nördlingen is modern fantasy. Simple houses and a stone clock tower in the center.

   Humans and yokai have lived on earth together for thousands of years. They are as normak together as two humans are teo yokai are to eachother. Yokai live amongst humans working jobs, marrying and being members of society. Only difference between yokai and humans is the yokai's magic and the fact they are supernatrual. There are however aggressive yokai, but avoiding them is as simple as not entering their territory

   When a human or yokai die they move onto the spirit world (seperate from Aiko's Reikai). A place that is filled with the dead from all across history. You can chose to move on fully and reincarnate or chose to stay in the spirit world as long as you wish. But if the person has dont horrible crimes they are reincarnated without a choice instead of being allowed the choice of staying in the spirit world. This decision is made by Saibankan, they judge the souls before giving them their choice. Saibankan has help from two beings in coming to a verdict. Uso, who cant speak but will know if you are telling a lie and make sure Saibankan knows. And Tsumi who will list out your sins to Saibankan. You are allowed to speak your part to try and convince Saibankan.

   The world has four realms. Amaterasu's realm, the great Takamagahara. Aiko's personal realm Reikai, and the spirit world where the dead reside. The Universe: Known to many as "The Great Painting". Where everything is. The thing Amaterasu created at the beginning of everything. Home to the stars and planets. Takamagahara: The realm of Amaterasu. Where Amaterasu resides most of the time. It is a spraeling realm of majestic fields and large floating islands. But there is only one island that matters. The largest if the floating islands houses the home of Amaterasu. It is a large palace like building with many rooms and halls. The courtyard houses many statues of the other divine beings under Amaterasu. In the center of them is the statue of Amaterasu, to the right of her statue is a slightly smaller on of her child/creation Aiko. Reikai: The realm where Aiko, the child and creation of Amaterasu spends most of their time. This is a private realm. No human has ever been to Reikai because Aiko only allows those very close in. Reikai is fully sentiant and capable of thought. Spirit world: The spirit world is where the dead mainly reside. If a spirit decides not to reincarnate or they have done something in life to be forced to reincarnate this is where the will end up.

   The Yokai and Gods are the only ones with actual magic. Humans cant be born with magic or learn to use magic like the yokai. But something that any being can learn is the ability to paint something into reality, similar in a way to how Amaterasu created everything. But this is something extremely rare for humans and even yokai. 3 humans ever have managed to paint something into reality. But it was always nothing bigger then their palm, nor could they make anything more after. The reason it is near impossible anyone to pull of what Amaterasu can do. Is because its like painting on the air itself without any tools. Painting with nothing on nothing Aiko manages to pull this off as a direct child of Amaterasu. But even then its rough strokes, nothing like their mothers smooth painting. Amaterasu's kitsune can manage to do it in very small things.

   This is the main shrine of Amaterasu. It is by far the largest shrine to Amaterasu in the world. Mainly overseen by Miko the voice of Amaterasu. It is a place people will travel from all across the world to see for themself. It has multiple buildings across the large area it covers. A big Sakura tree is in the center surrounded by the multiple building around it. The Sakura tree is a magical tree that allows people around it and around the shrine to feel calm and at ease. It allows people to heal from injuries and sickness quicker. The building to the right of the great tree is a museum to the history of the world and the history of Amaterasu and the beings closely related it her. The building to the left of the great tree is the main visitor building. It is where people can get info on the shrine aswell as rest and get food. There are many smaller building littering the circle around the great tree, these buildings are mainly fron prayer to the other beings close to Amaterasu. When people come to pray/leave offerings to Amaterasu they will do so at the great sakura in the center. The shrine is run almost entierly by the kitsune Miko, the voice of Amaterasu. Miko does the finances, makes the schedules and so on. The publishing house is its own building on the shrine grounds, it is where many go to see the best books or try and publish their own books. Miko enjoys it has its what makes the most money. Aiko can sometimes be found laying in the branches of the great sakura tree
