Empire of Iso

== Overview ==
The Empire of Iso was an ancient empire that, at its greatest extent, ruled over the southern Shi Peninsula, the Nanto Islands and island of Sotu.  
The Kingdom of Iso was formed in the very south of Shi by peoples that likely migrated from across the South Concord Sea. The Iso people had a long history of conflict with the Jumito tribes of the north that led to a wall being constructed between their territories. During a period of war, Iso, allied with the Oku Dynasty, committed a genocide against the Jumito people and enslaved the survivors. With this, Iso claimed the Jumito's lands as their own and formed the Empire of Iso. 
Entering the Three Powers Period, Iso sought to incorporate the Ori Islands into their empire and fought a lengthy war with the Ori that resulted in the handover of just one island - Sotu. Later, the empire wished to expand outside of Kisaya, towards the south. This campaign would begin the downfall of the empire as the Jumito people took the opportunity to rise up against their oppressors. During the conflict, Sotu declared independence and the empire finally fell with a siege of its capital city. In its place the Jumito Territories were formed and many of the remaining Iso people retreated to the Nanto Islands.
