Eiszura

Eiszura, officially Eiszura ngo Pangila Haji (永知恵の恵界, 'Blessed Realm of Eiszura') is a multicultural state located in southeastern Halinn, Abexilas. Eiszura is comprised of one primary capital city and several smaller settlements. The nation is considered a unitary state. Eiszura is well-known as the formal successor of Raiyuna Tszunare, with beautiful Tibetan-East Asian-derived architecture and sublime architectural prowess.
== History ==
During the great migration, fleeing the comet destroying Eldham, most of the population of Raiyuna escaped to Abexlias on sky ships hastily constructed in the Umakwa Dockyards. During the journey, many ships were destroyed, blown off course, or lost. The ships of the future Leiuku clan were the first to arrive in Abexilas, crashing into a mountain peak. Establishing a small village out of the ruined ships, they were soon joined by the Raiyunatti fleet. Due to being forgotten about in the evacuation of Eldham, the small settlement refused to rejoin the fleet, which then settled at the nearby island of LulaMaishi. The Leiuku mountain settlement was nicknamed Leiwatu (Soul Refuge) due to the common insult of calling it's inhabitants 'lost souls'.
Settling at the new found island, the nation was reformed into the Blessed Realm of Eiszura by Queen Soko Naruma and then-General Secretary Quercus Tekaya. Construction began on the new Palace and capitol of the nation on the southern end of the island, completing rather quickly. However after mysterious disappearances, flash flooding of the island from the river, and assassinations attempts in the halls of the Palace, the nation moved up into the mountains. Negotiating with the Leiuku in Leiwatu, the rugged villagers were elevated to a noble clan in exchange for reintegrating into the fold. Leiwatu became the new official capitol of Eiszura, and the city expanded rapidly in the safe plateau.

== Culture ==
Eiszura's culture and the art which comes from it is the core of Eiszuratti society. Art, architecture, and writing are the most common discussion topics within the nation. Artisans of all kinds are greatly respected within Eiszura's borders. The Eiszuratti believe art defines the environment we live in, and our environment defines ourselves.
=== Racial Groups ===
The Kaszatti refugees from Eldham make up the majority of the nation, although there are several minority races either native to the land or are refugees from Eldham as well.
====Kaszatti (元人)====
The Kaszatti are the largest racial group within Eiszura. This human-adjacent race originates from the deserts, mesas, and savannas of Katsura, Eldham, called Kaszara. 
The Kaszatti are industrious people and renowned woodworkers, fishermen, and cooks. A core social value of the Kaszatti is the attachment to family and community. They are highly defensive of those they are close to, which can often lead to conflict with other peoples or even other Kaszatti.
====Umarín (天妖精)====
The Umarín are an elven group that split from the Celestial Elves hundreds of years ago. They created and adapted to be able to live on the sky islands of Eldham. Through time they acquired a more sapphire-toned skin along with a shorter stature compared to the Celestial Elves. 
The culture of the Umarín places great emphasis on equality between social and racial lines, which they deem only achievable through respect. They serve Eiszura as advisors, librarians and other scholarly practices but don't hesitate from involving themselves in other aspects of the state such as the military.
One of their elven adaptations is hermaphroditism, the ability to change biological sex at will. This caused Umarín society to ditch any aspect of gender or gender roles, preferring individual gender expression than any kind of strict rules defining how everyone needs to look. The Umarín have historically been the pioneers of fashion within their nations.
=== Language ===
The official langauge of Eiszura is Yaszumatti which originates from Yaszuma Tszunare, the merger state between Umakwa, Kaszara, and Tetszo. The Yaszumatti language has been used within Yaszuma since its creation in 0 Y.M. and has continued use through every iteration of the nation thereafter.
Yaszumatti uses both the common tongue script and its own traditional "Tszukaukotti" (ヅカウコ語, 'Tszukauko language') script which finds its origin in the ancient past, but introduced into the language by the Kaszatti. The Tszukaukotti script, simply known as Kauni (カウ字, 'Kau characters'), contains two syllabaries and one logogram.
=== Religion ===
The state religion of Eiszura is Eriszetsu, a religion originating from Atu'asura, the merged state of Umakwa and Kaszara and the predecessor to Yaszuma before Tetszo joined. The religion is and a distant relative to the Twin Dragon faith. Its followers deem it more as a lifestyle than an organized religion.
Eriszetsu believes that worlds are forged by "Celestial Spirits" of the material and immaterial. These celestial beings populate their domains with spirits. A few of these spirits are granted an object known as a "Fruit of Knowledge", allowing the spirit to ascend above the other spirits of the world and becoming protector gods of the world they call home.
== Regions ==
=== Leiwatu Metro ===
Leiwatu is the snowborn capitol of Eiszura, situated between the mountain peakes. The most populous settlement, it is the seat of the faith and the nobility. Containing a melting pot of all Raiyunatti culture, blending together into High Eiszuratti. The city is well known for its beautiful architecture and world renowned skyship dockyards. 
=== LulaMaishi ===
The rural island territory of Eiszura, formerly the capitol region. The island has passed hands between states several times, until the majority of the island ended up in Eiszura. The region is extremely rural and low density, playing host to a expansive forest in the south and sweeping farmlands to the northwest. Leilani & Akurai influences run deep in the northern portions, blossoming a neo-Caladori culture along the coast. To the southeast in the forests, Yaszumatti-Vaedayan influences grow stronger, giving way to a druidic-Yaszumatti blend culture.
=== Yukkaku & Suicide Coast ===
In Yukkaku, Medaka's old isolate culture reigns supreme, remaining almost completely unchanged. The port settlement is the hub for foreign trades and exports, where cultural customs break down into market degeneracy. Any items or carnal cravings can be bought and sold in Yukkaku, with no worry for ethical or moral considerations. 
The Suicide Coast; The most rural and uninhabited portions of the nation is the northeast coast, a rocky cliff extending the length of the coast. It's name derives from the many bodies that the tides pin against the rocks. A rolling spruce forest extends across the cliffs, giving way to the mountains of Leiwatu.
== Noble Clans ==
=== Naruma (手致) ===
The Naruma clan is the single most powerful political power in Eiszura, being the clan of Tszunna Soko Naruma. The clan derives from humble origins, Naruma meaning 'Artisan' or when translated directly; 'Hand Worker'. When Soko was chosen in the twin rule program by Yaszumatti Tszunna Niszara Mayako, she subsequently elevated the status of the entire Naruma family. The clan has been in some sort of political power for almost the entire nation’s history, with its only gap in any power between Soko's death and resurrection. 
=== Tekaya (森人) ===
The origins of clan Tekaya began when the forest druid sage Quercus from the wilds of the far northwest corner of the world in Old Yaszria, went on his travels studying the forests of Katsura and their magic. As he traveled through the Vexa jungles in Colectria, Varn Torum, he stumbled into the spirit cbkooz, the guardian of that jungle. They quickly became friends and eventually they were wed in Koozos. They lived happily but still each had their own responsibilities in Varn Torum and in Raiyuna respectively. So after the founding of Ashai unified their two countries they saw an opportunity to unify the family. As Raiyuna descended into clan wars Quercus and cbkooz created clan Tekaya. With their combined power, they founded their noble house as a bastion of nature, made up of scholars and businessmen united through loyalty to their family.
In present day clan Tekaya is the second most prominent political party in Eiszura. As Lusone Quercus saved many Raiyunatti and escorted them to the new world, thus he has become a spiritual leader. In absence of Tszunna Soko, Quercus is the political & spiritual leader of the nation. Tekayas make up the majority of the Queen's Council and oversee a larger portion of Eiszuratti lands than any other clan. Tekayas pride themselves on their political service to the nation, and their unique connections to nature and otherworldly forces.
=== Akurai (青玫) ===
In memory of the old clans of N'theth and Anatai, Emrys Akurai, the former Goyan of Calador and Lusone of Eiszura, banded together some of his most trusted friends to create the Akurai clan. Though those days are now long gone, the clan spread throughout Raiyuna and now Eiszura and now rests under the leadership of 𝗔𝘁𝗮𝘀𝘇𝗮 Kaszuya Akurai. The clan has retained some of its political influence, but the majority of its wealth stores were flushed during the fall of Eldham. 
Akurai is among the remaining clans of Raiyuna that still exist in Eiszura, its influences run deep in the Leiwatu Metro with the Akurano, but their power in Leiwatu is very little compared to that of the Naruma and Tekaya. On Lula Maishi the Akurai second in command, Kenszo Akurai continues his mother's Leilani traditions and governs the coastal town of Emrisea as Haruna with the assistance of Kaszuya's son, Ýpnosi Akurai to keep things in order.

The clan only started to lose prominence after Tszunna Soko's death, fizzling out into near extinction by the present day in Eiszura. Esuka’anai are now found at their tea shop, relaxing in their retirement from political affairs.

The greatest particularity of the clan was the fact that no one is superior to the others. There's only one person that act as head of the clan, but whatever decisions are made by this leader must reflect the will of the other members. The clan stuck to its origins, meaning there are no family bonding. Instead people chose to join the clan with the intention of helping themselves and their close ones, fighting for what is theirs. Being bees the holy animal they are in Kiruko they of course had heavy impact on the symbiology of the clan. The mon oughts to remind its people of the bond that unites us all, towards a greater good we fight together. As of Abexilas this clan is extinct.
