Shaoming

The Shaoming Duumvirate is a land near the outer rim of the Known World, approximately 16,640 miles on the 87th degree, known for the presence of rare metals, stimulating beverages and its long-running war with the neighbouring land of Relanar. 
Shaoming is also home to the Fifty-Five Schools, a loose community of philosophers dedicated to bringing the world into a more perfect state. Members of the Fifty-Five Schools typically fluctuate between rigorous, heated debate and not talking to each other at all.

Despite the factional nature of Shaoming's philosophical foundations, the people of Shaoming broadly agree that the Fifty-Five Schools' 'Perfect World' would consist of a harmonious, unified society. Therefore, the existence of an emperor is generally embraced by the overwhelming majority of Schools and peoples of Shaoming. The peoples' expectations of the Emperor vary greatly, but most agree the proliferation of 'harmony' holds primacy over other elements of the role.
