Link: The forum this RP was on was deleted, so I cannot give a link. Most of the stuff carried over to The RP, though. Name: Sekiha Population: Relatively small. A few thousand or so? Not good at this. Technology Level: For the most part, Sekiha has isolated itself from the technological advancements of the world, choosing to focus on magic. Despite this, they have adapted some of the more essential technologies, such as electric lighting(abet done with magic rather then electricity.), plumbing, etc. Government: The kingdom is typically ruled by a King. Usually chosen by succession, if something happens to the royal family, or if there are no heirs, a tournament of sorts is held, where one's skill, strength, wisdom and nobility are tested. After the royal family, the next highest rank is the leader of the Royal Guard, leader of the Sekihan military. Political Figures: Izuno Sacer: King of Sekiha Yukina Sacer: Queen of Sekiha(Deceased) Taena: Current commander of the Sekihan Royal Guard after Angelo's defection. Born weak and frail, she gave herself great power through a forbidden ritual, gaining superhuman strength and speed, but weakened inhibitions at times, especially in combat(Basically a berserker). Despite that, her skill and valor earned her the title of commander...even if her past is somewhat questionable. Celebrities: Izuno Sacer: The King of Sekiha, and the man who ended the Demon War, sealing the demon Zerazo into a sword. He is a just, if sometimes cold, king. He was killed in a recent attack on Sekiha by Zerazo. Yukina Deina Fey(Later Yukina Sacer): Born long before Sekiha became a kingdom, Yukina was the priestess of the Sheol Gate, where the remains of the God of Light were stored. When the then-village of Sekiha was attacked, Yukina merged herself with the door to the gate, sealing it for over a thousand years until she was until the gate was broken early in the Demon War. She became well loved amongst Sekihans, and her death during childbirth was greatly mourned. The location of her grave(or, if she's even dead. After all, with the lack of a body, it is a semi-popular rumor that she somehow survived) is something wondered by all. Zerazo: The son of Zyssael, leader of the demonic armies during the Demon Wars. With Zyssael's death, Zerazo became the leader of the demonic army during the war. Zerazo was defeated in a final battle with Izuno, and sealed into the King's blade and thrown into the Sheol Gate, locked away forever..or so they hoped. Knight of the Shadows: Despite his name, The man known as the "Knight of the Shadows", was a hero, called such for his pitch black armor and mysterious nature. This man slew the God of Light itself in a heated battle. After this, he vanished from the world as mysteriously as he appeared. The winter solstice(The shortest day and longest night of the year) is celebrated in the honor of the mysterious man who saved the world. History: Long ago, the God of Light was sealed away, slain by the "Knight of the Shadows" for trying to purify the world of all life. In this battle, the Sacred Crater was formed due to a massive clash between the two beings. To protect the catacombs where the god's remains where put to rest, as well as the odd crater, a small village was formed. After centuries, a village became a town, and the town a kingdom. The Gate remained sealed for a thousand years, until one day, a demon found a way to break open the gate. Izuno, then the leader of the Royal Guard, pursued, and in the battle, was smashed through the God of Light's tomb. This released a pulse of energy that shook the kingdom. This energy irradiated Sekiha, giving birth to Sol users. Izuno, gaining great power from being at the center of the pulse, used his powers to slay the demon with ease, and, due to his powers, became the King of Sekiha. For years war raged between Sekiha and the demons. However, at the battle of the Varu Plains, Izuno slew Zerazo, sealing his corrupted essence into his sword, Kusanagi, and ending the war. However, much had been lost during this war. Many died, including the King's wife, Yukina. After this, Izuno, although still just, became cold. This led to an estrangement from his daughter, Mizu, an action which would lead to Zerazo's freedom many years later.. Customs or Culture: Sekiha is a isolated kingdom, and thus little is known of their customs and cultures. They have several holidays, however, such as the "Day of Holy Shadows", celebrated on the Winter Solstice, celebrating the defeat of the mad God of Light. They also have several holidays more akin to the rest of the world, such as the "Day of Bounty" and "Day of Cheer", which are similar to Thanksgiving and Christmas, respectively. Also, on the last day of every year, a tournament his held, with the winner receiving a large monetary sum. Despite this, it is a rather relaxed tournament, as much for fun as for reward. It is custom to get married under the Tree of Bonds. Given water from the Sacred Crater long ago, it turned into a large tree seemingly made of a blue-tinted glass(Although far more durable). It is said getting married under this tree will assure good fortune in the years to come. for the couple. Geology: Sekiha is located on a plain surrounded by the Agares mountains, which has helped in it's defense over the years. These same mountains help isolate it. To the southwest is also the River Akumos, which runs into the mountains. There are also various small woods in the area. There are several small villages located in the mountains, and in various small plains around it, that still count as part of the kingdom. Underneath Sekiha are numerous catacombs and pathways, which lead to the hidden Sheol Gate. Near the kingdom of Sekiha is the Sacred Crater, a massive hole in the earth created long, long ago, in the final clash between the Knight of Shadows and the God of Light. Over the years, it became filled with rainwater, becoming a small lake. Even to this day, there is heavy Sol radiation around the area, making the water glow and giving it odd properties. It makes some better, and others violently ill. A small band of the Royal Guard defends the lake. Due to the radiation, plant-life around the crater has changed, becoming odd, bright colors, and glowing at night, giving the area an odd, surreal feel. Sekiha is also home to the Keina(pronounced Kei-Nyah) fruit, an odd, blue fruit that looks similar to an orange. Growing in the woods near Sekiha, it is unique to the area and quite popular. It's sweet juices lead it to be typically used in drinks, whether it be basic juice, ciders or fanciful wines. Climate: Being in the mountains, Sekiha typically has warm summers, and frigid winters. In the winter, blizzards are frequent, and most stay inside during the winter months. Map: Never thought about making one. Maybe later on. Edited by NemesisZeru, Nov 22 2011, 02:15:44 AM.
