Kingdom News


Pantheon: God of the Moon and Goddess of the Sun

Information:
The kingdom is organized in two opposite forces just as Ying and Yang. Two rulers (monarch and successor), two different points of view (expand with war, protect with peace), one kingdom.
The kingdom’s principles are built on harmony and equilibrium between these two forces, while keeping the idea that honor and respect are the most important things in each (e.g. fighting and protecting with honor).

Nature is also a major aspect of the kingdom; therefore no harm is done to it, only trade off (ex: If I cut a tree, I will plant a tree; If I take an animal life, I will thank the spirits by an offering/prayer, etc).
The economy is mainly run by farmers, fishermen and artisans (textile, jewellery). Security, war and commerce are ensured by the Yang part, while the Ying counterpart carries administration, agriculture and education tasks. Since the kingdom is just starting, few of these will be apparent at the beginning.

Essentially Aomori has a lawful good alignment, but that doesn't mean it is all good. Therefore, like in any other nation, you will find corsairs, mercenaries, nail salon owners under the red light (oh dear Mona! :0c). What is important is, that they abide to the range there is between breaking the law and sort of following it (ex: the corsair would steal any other nations but Aomori, nail salon owner would remunerate employees, etc. ).

Acceptable Races:
Beastmen
Drow
Dryads
Dwarves
Elves
Goblins

You will be evaluated on the effort you give and your skills.

Laws:
The Sacred Laws (you will not kill, you will not steal, you will not rape, you will not enslave someone, etc.)
Soul magic and dark magic are absolutely forbidden.
No creation of new golems. We sustain those that already exist but we don’t allow the creation of new ones, since it goes against the Sacred Laws and the ban on soul magic.
Defiling a grave is seen as a very serious crime which can lead to grave (lol) accusations and consequences such as imprisonment.
To create unlimited NPCs you have to acquire 1 (or more) otherwise you are limited to 1 NPC.

Culture:
You will offer to your ancestors a proper tomb and will honor their name.
Once a year, you must visit your ancestor’s shrine with offerings (such as food, incense, etc.)
At war you will not bring dishonor to the Empire. You will with dignity end the life of enemies who are suffering and have not yet passed away.
When voluntarily killing an animal for its meat, one will ask for the blessings of the spirits (prayer) before doing so.
When receiving guests, as the host, you should be able to serve tea has the code demands. This is a very important tradition in Aomori.
