Empire History:
The Dominion began with warlord named Zhao Xian who along with his trusted lieutenant Oni engaged on campaign of conquest over his neighbors. When he finish he ruled a kingdom that spanned over fifty thousand square leagues. He maintained his power with the help of a large standing army and a corps of veterans who came to be known as the Deathwatch Guard. Zhao Xian fathered many children but feared that his oldest may not be fit to rule after his death so he pitted his offspring against each other to determine who would be his heir. It was in fact his tenth child, a boy named Attila who rose above his siblings by defeating a massive rebellion in one of the outlying provinces. After the battle Zhao Xian looked upon the bloody corpses and the carrion birds that near blocked the sun and declared Attila the Prince of Ravens and his rightful heir.
After Xian’s death Attila became the first Emperor of the Dominion. Over the last thousand years the borders of the empire have fluctuated. Losing land during the reigns of those not truly fit to rule and expanding when the Imperial family produced a true leader. There have been numerous rebellions against the imperial government and each time they have been stuck down and the Imperial family has become more totalitarian in their views on ruler ship. The Black Hills Rebellion caused the 32nd Emperor to create the Funshutsu, a group of dedicated individuals whose sole purpose is root out threats to the stability of the Dominion.
The love of the people has never been firmly affixed to the Imperial family the way other nation proclaim to love their monarchs, mostly due to the inconsistent morals of those willing to do whatever it takes to stand triumphant in the contests for the title of heir. When a great hurricane swept the province of Way Kie the 45th emperor became so annoyed by the refugees that had flooded the imperial province that he declared that anyone who could not prove that they lived in the province or had official business had ten days to return home or be executed several hundred thousand people who had wounds that prevented them from making the deadline set by the Emperor were slaughtered by the Deathwatch Guard. The emperor then then order a wall be built with the bodies along the border of Way Kie. The wall was no higher than a man’s knee at any point so two Divisions of Deathwatch Guards were deploy to man it make sure none of the bodies were buried. A hundred years ago during the time of the 41st Emperor there were a clan of from Iyo Han who had insulted him by refusing to marry the clan head's daughter to him. he sent an army to round them up to be made examples of. The clan, now only referred to as the forsaken to the history books fled Demuon across the sea rather than face the wrath of the Emperor. Rumor states that they have been taken in by the nation of Entria.
Untill recent years the Dominion has taken an isolationist stance. But when Zhao Han's father took the throne he opened his ports and trade routes to the wider world forging the path for a more industrialized nation to be born, but he still focused on maintaining the stability of the land the Dominion already controlled rather than expanding its influence. Since the coronation of Zhao Han the Dominion has begun gearing up for aggressive expansion with the acquisition of a narrow stretch of land of the main continent, and the Imperial Army has brought in experts from other nations to help them utilize the latest in modern weaponry to break asunder all who would stand in the way of the Dominion’s destiny.
Social Ecology: Within the Dominion there are three distinct social classes the Aristocracy, Commoners and the Owned.
The Aristocracy is made up of the Imperial family and the Blooded. The Blooded are the children of Emperors who withdrew their claims or were not old enough to be considered claimants and their descendants. They operate as government officials, officers in the army and land owners. Sometimes a commoner will be awarded the status of Blooded for some great service to the empire. The 4th emperor raised a captain of the Imperial army to Blooded status for his valiant defense of a pass that had been attacked by a barbarian horde ten time the size of the captains own forces.
The Commoners are the salt of the earth. They till the soil, work the foundries and mills, and a thousand other thankless tasks that are essential to daily life in the Dominion. They also form the bulk of the Imperial Army, taking the fight to those who threaten their families. Commoners who show promise can be enrolled into officer training but they often find they have a hard time advancing up the ranks compared to those with Blooded status.
The Owned are just what the name implies slaves within the Dominion sometimes due to debt or a serious blow to their honor or birth into this social class. The Owned are truly the only group that can be seen with in all levels of the social ladder. There are even a few institutions that only accept the Owned as members such as the Deathwatch Guard.
The Imperial Army will take any citizen of sound mind and body. No distinction is made between men and women, though a woman who becomes pregnant is sent to the rear to help with administrative tasks.
