Seiryu (Country)

Seiryu, also known as the Lands of the Blue Dragon, is an independent nation that makes up the whole of Seiryu Province on the southeastern coast of the Eyané continent.
== History ==
The lands of Seiryu Province were once controlled by five tribes known to modern Seiryujin people collectively known as the Ancestors. 
=== The Five Tribes of Ancestors ===
Heavenly Sentinel. The oldest of the five tribes was the Heavenly Sentinel tribe, a collective of tengu that had developed many of the ways of etiquette, politics, and swordsmanship that are still employed in modernity. 
God of the Mountains. The God of the Mountains tribe was a powerful clan of bearfolk that lived in the mountains and hills of the province and worked tirelessly to build great cities of stone and wood to protect the tribes from the harsh winters in the region.
Moving Island. The Moving Island peoples were a prosperous family of tortles that lived on the back of a creature known as a zaratan. It came to shore and found a happy life with the tortles and other tribes of the region. When it passed away, its body and shell was believed to be the foundation for the palace of the city of Xīnyě.
Horizon's Glow. A pride of leonin that came to become the apex predators in the region until the other tribes came down into the plains and spoke with them. The Horizon's Glow tribe found kindred souls and minds in the other tribes and grew to regard the other Ancestors as family.
Faces of Past and Present. The first yokai to enter into the material plan came to come together as a tribe of all the different peoples from the spirit world.

== Government ==
Seiryu was founded as a monarchy in about 726 AM. Around 475 AR, the Emperor of Seiryu was politically ousted from his position and the leadership was replaced by a military dictator. This military dictatorship ruled in Seiryu until 58 AH, when the Imperial Family of Hyuga reclaimed its power. Ever since that time, the regional magnates and feudal lords have stood in opposition to one another, with minor lords and self-proclaimed leaders causing conflicts not only with the organizations of Seiryu but also with the Empire of Parnak to the west and the lands of Varhuine and Ocyria to the north. As of 1055 AR, the nation of Seiryu is broken up into the lands of seven Great Lords, the Imperial Lands, and is dotted all along the province with small cells of self-ruled peoples.
