Eastern continent

## General Information:

The Eastern Continent was larger in size than the mainland Southern Continent but was smaller if you counted the Wasteland as well.

However, despite its size, it was clustered with a lot of spirit veins, making it one of the most Qi-dense locations in the entire world. That was how they were able to produce Saint realm cultivators that were nearly 10 times the amount of the Southern Continent.

While the population was also slightly larger, what helped the Eastern Continent the most was the severe lack of uninhabitable places. There weren't many places in the Eastern Continent where civilization couldn't be found, whereas, in the other continents, there were plenty of places that were barren for a very long distance.

Thanks to the great population density and enough Qi to provide for them all, the Eastern Continent had managed to far outpace the other continents in this development.

However, due to this exact same reason, the Azure Imperium alone wasn't capable of governing the entire continent by itself and needed help from others.

Because of this, the very first Dragon Emperor divided the continent into 7 specific regions, each of which was a Vassal Kingdom ruled by its own ruler that was under the Dragon Emperor.

The 7 kingdoms were named:

* the Ivory Kingdom
* the Gold Kingdom
* the Silver Kingdom
* the Emerald Kingdom
* the Ebony Kingdom
* the Beast Paradise
* the Azure Kingdom

The Azure Kingdom was where the Dragon Capital was, but it wasn't what ruled that kingdom. The Azure Kingdom had its own king as well, a close relative of the Dragon Emperor who reported back to the Azure Imperium.

The Beast Paradise was created by the first Azure Dragon that visited the Eastern Continent so that the beasts could live in peace without being hunted every day. They are separate from the overall politics of the empire.

The various kingdoms had no army or guards of their own and had to simply utilize the members of the Body Legion.

> The women wore colorful dresses, with patterns or flowers or other prints on their robes. Their sleeves were mostly flimsy and transparent, which seemed to be the fashion these days.

## Azure Imperium:

### Legions:

Each Legion of the army held a variable number of individuals, going anywhere from 200 to 100 thousand.

#### Head Legion

> The Head Legion was a small group of elites that were specifically hand-picked to be around the Emperor and the royal family at all times. They were also the head of all Legions and gave orders to each legion when direct orders from Emperor were not required.

#### Scale Legion:

* Commander Long Jianyu
* Commander Jin Beiquan

> The Scale Legion's task involved going outside of the empire to do what they needed to do. There were a lot of islands around the Eastern Continent, and while the Scale Legion usually hung around those islands, it also took up tasks where it went out into the ocean under the empire's order.

#### Talon Legion

> The Talon Legion was the main fighting force of the army and every one strong was involved in it. Each soldier in that Legion was a bonafide fighter, who had gone through many trials and tribulations to get where they were. These people were almost never involved in anything unless the Emperor needed to fight someone.

#### Body Legion

> The Body Legion had the most amount of soldiers in it, and its main task was keeping general peace over the continent. They were anything from city guards to merchant guards, depending on what they had to do.

#### Tail Legion

* General Fan
> The Tail Legion only had a few thousand individuals in it, and its task was to sit in reserve in case any of the other Legions required individuals to replace them for a while.
