Nanatalean Empire

The Nanatalean Empire is a faction introduced in The Legend of Cynder: Rise of the Dragon Cult. It is a Monarchy controlled by Xinxala, a humanoid panther-woman who rules the state as empress from the city on Nanatala, which is located in the jungle mountains of the third continent. It is introduced as being at war with the nearby kingdom/city-state of Lioness City, which-unknown to them, is allied to the Dragon Confederation. When an army sent to claim the city-state for the Empire is all but destroyed by the Destroyer-classed Ascendant Zealot-a part of the D.C.I.M.F, Xinxala orders a delegation sent to the leader of Dragon Confederation, which, unknown to her, is ruled by Cynder III and her elderly parents. the architecture is a combination of Japanese and Khmer, while their culture is similar to the High Roman Imperium, and their religion is a combination of early Hindu and an indepedently-developed sect of The Creator cult.
