Murim

ORIGINS:
Murim, officially the Realm of Murim, is a nation that sprung from the divine cherry blossom valley in 8 VE. This valley is seen as the "holy land" of the realm and contains immensely dense Chi, perfect for cultivation.
Murim originated from a group of wise hermits that sought to surpass the human body's limitations and transcend the mortal world. Now, Murim is a secluded realm of elite martial artists who pass down their traditions and techniques from generation to generation in hopes of reaching transcendence. The martial techniques and concepts of Murim all surround the central idea of cultivation: the gathering of Chi in the core of the body to strengthen and purify oneself, usually done through meditation. Cultivation is the main way to strengthen one's body in Murim and attain a higher level of martial prowess.
While martial arts and cultivation are very large components of Murim culture, there are many other ways that Chi can be utilized to optimize other more "everyday" activities. Trades such as blacksmithing, mining, crafting, and alchemy are all respectable trades within The Realm of Murim. Other things that are respected but do not require Chi are things like gardening and the arts for people who do not wish to cultivate.
Original leadership:
Murim started under the rule of the Divine Dragon Emperor Inverse and the Grand Warden Conquestor. The original emperor valued the path of righteousness toward transcendence and strictly upholded moral codes.
