Chinmoku (TZA)

Chinmoku (沈黙), meaning Silence, is the name of the Shapeshifter empire and their capital city. It is a colossal city with technological, spiritual, and magical advancements that completely dwarf many civilizations of Earth's, in a way comparable to Atlantis. It is surrounded by a huge stretch of gardens and plazas, while its interior is adorned with gorgeous temples and towers. Its reigning monarch is refered to as the Grand Eye.
It rests deep within East Flora, and lies along the North Frontier border.
== Emperor of Ten Lives ==
The regally robed man sits quietly on a bench, surrounding by pastel colored flora, colorful foliage and blossoms alike. Pleasant scents waft all around him as the breeze flutters through the air, pulling at his long white hair. A tired, somber expression rests on his old face as he eyes the hanging crescent moon on the horizon. Surrounding him are the temples and towers that adorn the capital of Echo's largest empire, edifices only challenged in height by the skyscrapers of Earth. 
In these hanging gardens of Chinmoku, one would expect only serenity, and yet a palpable tension hangs in the air as the bowing servant nervously awaits acknowledgement from the Emperor, the Grand Eye.
With a soft movement, the Grand Eye turns to his Invesal, Sworn Speaker. "What tidings have you?"
The Invesal averts his gaze. "There is intelligence on the wind that says that Azure made contact with denizens of Earth."
The Grand Eye's expression hardens and his eyes narrow. "Truthfully? After a thousand years, the barrier twixt Earth and Echo has been breached? Surely the boy knows better than to instigate contact, in violation of the accord between all nations...?"
The Invesal wearily looks the Emperor in the eye. "...It is the humans who found their way here... and abducted agents of Azure. A conflict started and-" The Grand Eye waves his hand.
"The humans instigated and Azure responded with force then. The situation is already dire. If Azure takes initiative and investigates Earth and finds the present state of affairs, they will want to escalate. That must not happen. We sacrificed so much to stop the War twixt worlds. It cannot happen again."
"What do you intend to do, my Emperor?" The Invesal lowers their head.
The Grand Eye fully turns towards him. "Go to the Tower of the Eight Winds. Herald the assembly of the Winds, I shall meet you anon."
"Yes, my lord!"
...
The Invesal arrives at the top of a tall tower and begins to ring a large bell, ornate and pearl white. As they do so, the wind begins to pick up from the cardinal directions, until eight bellowing shapes, four white, four black begin to form in the gale.
As the Grand Eye ascends the steps, the figures take the shape of multi tailed foxes and acknowledge the emperor. 
"What is your will?"
"This best be important."
"From all the way from the West..."
There is varying degrees of enthusiasm from the spirits, to which the Grand Eye bows his head.
"My apologies, but I request you bare a message. This is a list of all the countries I wish you to deliver it to, with all haste."
He procures a scroll from his pouch and shows them the contents, after studying it and the emperor's message, they look at one another and then take to the skies in all directions. The Grand Eye quietly leaves, knowing the task will be done, and much work to do in preparation for the guests that would arrive within the week.
