Xianyun

Faction Overview	/Strategic Overview/	/History/
The Xianyun have the power of the Plains.
For centuries, the Rong have existed in the foothills and plains west of China, and have played a part in shaping history in Asia even if they and the Chinese refuse to acknowledge it, either as allies of the Chinese kings or as antagonists. After all, it was a Rong expedition to sack Haojing which began the decline and the fragmentation of the Zhou, and if there is one thing the Rong have, it is a new wonder-weapon - the mounted warrior - which the Chinese have been slow to make their own..
Now, however, the Zhou imperium may be crumbling and while this should pose opportunities for the Rong, things thus far have been far from rosy for them. The Zhou Empire, even in decline, is still a force to reckon with, even as renegade states such as Qin and Chu have emerged as powerful brokers amassing vast armies and untold wealth. The Rong themselves are still disunited and oblivious to the threat that the Chinese - especially Qin - poses to them, and something must be done about it. If the Rong are to survive in this harsh new world, they must unite as a single nation, defeat the Chinese threat and hold their own against other hostile new peoples..
