Kansen

Kansen are a rare species in the Empire of Kufmal. They are currently the only species that are not naturally created. Kansen are living warships that are born from Hearts of the Sea. The first and most famous Kansen is Aquarius, the first trireme of the Kufmalian Navy and the navy’s head admiral. Aquarius was created by accident when the Emperor was conducting tests with a Heart of the Sea onboard, and the heart linked with the ship and created the Kansen form of Aquarius.

Kansen can exist in a few different states:

* Rigging Form - This state has the physical warship transformed into a wearable rigging that represents the ship, on the back of the humanoid Kansen. The Kansen can utilize miniaturized weapons on the rigging, but with their full power. The Kansen can travel above water in a form that resembles hovering.

* Shipboard Form - This state allows the ship itself to exist separate from the Kansen, despite still being controlled by the mind of the Kansen. The Kansen maintains a completely humanoid form. The Kansen can walk away from the ship, but they will grow physically weaker the further away they are from their ship. The limit for Kansen-Ship distance is around the horizon line.

There are only a handful of Kansen in the empire, all of which are serving in the navy. The amount of Kansen are limited by the number of Hearts of the Sea the empire. Even then, some of those hears are in reserve and have not been activated.
Welcome to Heartbreak

## Song by Kanye West featuring Kid Cudi

"**Welcome to Heartbreak**" is a song by Kanye West, released as the second track from his fourth studio album, *808s & Heartbreak* (2008). It features guest vocals by Kid Cudi and background vocals by Jeff Bhasker. The accompanying music video was directed by Nabil Elderkin, released on February 18, 2009 via West's blog.

## Background

West wrote in the book *Chicken Soup for the Soul: The Story Behind the Song*, "It was the first time a rap artist spoke condescendingly about property, possessions like a sports car. People are so concerned with what they have or what other people have instead of what's really important—other people. Things like cars are usually used to show how people make it, but there is nothing more important than home and family."

## Lyrics

**Lyrics**
[Verse 1: Kanye West]

My friend showed me pictures of his kids

And all I could show him was pictures of my cribs

He said his daughter got a brand new report card, card

And all I got was a brand new sports car, oh

[Chorus: Kid Cudi, *Kanye West*]

And my head keeps spinning

Can't stop having these visions

I gotta get with it (*Ooh, ooh, oooh*)

And my head keeps spinning

I can't stop having these visions

I gotta get with it (*Ooh, ooh, oooh*)

[Verse 2: Kanye West]

Dad cracked a joke, all the kids laughed

But I couldn't hear him all the way in first class

Chased the good life my whole life long

Look back on my life and my life gone

Where did I go wrong?

[Chorus: Kid Cudi, *Kanye West*]

And my head keeps spinning

Can't stop having these visions

I gotta get with it (*Ooh, ooh, oooh*)

And my head keeps spinning

I can't stop having these visions

I gotta get with it (*Ooh, ooh, oooh*)

[Bridge: Kanye West]

I've seen it, I've seen it before

I've seen it, I've seen it before

I've seen it, I've seen it before

I've seen it, I've seen it before

[Verse 3: Kanye West]

My god-sister getting married by the lake

But I couldn't figure out who I'd wanna take

Bad enough that I showed up late

I had to leave 'fore they even cut the cake

Welcome to heartbreak

[Chorus: Kid Cudi, *Kanye West*]

And my head keeps spinning

Can't stop having these visions

I gotta get with it (*Ooh, ooh, oooh*)

And my head keeps spinning

I can't stop having these visions

I gotta get with it (*Ooh, ooh, oooh*)

[Outro: Kanye West]

Ooh-hoo

Ooh-hoo

Ooh-hoo

And I, and I can't stop

No, no, I can't stop

No, no, no, no, I can't stop

No, no, no, no, I can't stop

Can't stop, I can't stop, I can't stop

No, no, no, no

No, no, no, no

No, no, no, no

No, no, I can't stop

No, can't stop having these visions

I gotta get with it

Ooh, ooh, oooh

Hoo-hoo, ho-ho-hoo

Ooh-hoo

Fren Banklin

Fren Banklin outside of his print shop

Fren Banklin is a notable businessman in Kufmal City. He runs the Banklin Corporation, a combination of his personal business ventures including a print shop and various rentals and apartments in the city's Brick Row District. He helped the Bunbunmaru Kufmal Gazette begin production by letting them rent his printing press while the Bunbunmaru Media Group’s HQ and print works was still under construction.

Banklin is best known for his work in helping crow Tengu Aya Shameimaru investigate the events in the city of Bruhmethius that would lead to the April Uprising against Shathenaten. Since then, his company and the Bunbunmaru group have remained strong business partners.

His main business addresses include:

* Banklin Print Office - 125 Phoenix Drive
* Banklin Printing House - 128 Banklin Alley
* Fren Banklin's Flats to Let - 122 Phoenix Drive

Trivia: This character is obviously based off of Philadelphia businessman and patriot Benjamin Franklin. In Kufmal, Banklin's print shop is based on Ben's actual former print shop in Philly, plus the entire Brick Row district along Phoenix Drive models the architecture of colonial houses in Philly.
Temple of the Seas

The Temple of the Seas is the oldest temple in Kufmal City. It was built in October of 2019, to commemorate the thanks the city gives to the sea it rises out of, the Sea of Kufmal, as well as all the other oceans that facilitate trade. It is a small, humble temple that reflects the burgeoning dreams of the infant city that first built it. The temple is located on the shore of Hyphae Island, at 90 Saltwater Drive. The temple is accessible by road as well as a dock inside the temple that connects to the city's canal system. The temple is the oldest member of the Kufmal Pantheon religion.
New Grothgar

The flag of New Grothgar

New Grothgar at dusk, 11/30/2022

Map view of New Grothgar, 11/13/2022

New Grothgar is a city located on the northeast shore of the Sea of Kufmal, on the continent of Roccenstoen. The city was founded and developed by governor D1ck\_mor. It is one of the most developed cities outside of the core imperial cities, and an unofficial capital of Roccenstoen.

New Grothgar is a city most known for the indescribable amount of bamboo that surrounds it. The bamboo is so thick that it obstructs any travel apart from the dedicated pathways and roads in the city.

The majority of the city's population lives in simple huts with few amenities, a visible symbol of the stoic pragmatism of the citizenry.

New Grothgar has had several larger construction projects, ranging from forts and plazas to a massive unfinished hotel, as well as a variety of thin highrise towers and a dungeon-like structure of unknown purpose. Citizens and imperial officials often have to guess as to the purpose of these unfinished megastructures, as they have never been officially announced by the city's governor. There are rumors about their purpose, the most common one being that the citizen's aversion to religions common amongst the rest of the empire had driven them to work on monuments to mankind's prowess rather than any deity's.

Many structures of the city reside upon massive earthwork projects that reclaim and raise land high above its natural points. These earthworks are buffered by huge walls and berms made of the mabmoo that the city has in abundance.

The city is so confusing to new visitors that it somewhat hampers tourism, leaving only the most cartographical-minded tourists and adventurers to traverse the winding and confusing rural paths of the city that the locals have gotten used to.

Not much is known about the city's history, but the city has a founding myth circulated by locals that odd-looking soldiers from an unkown nation with a strange flag became stuck in city after being separated from their unit. They then took over the city and installed their weathered and worn flags in their newly-won city before eventually diappearing.
Kufmalian Navy

The Kufmalian Navy is a branch of the Kufmal Armed Forces, the military arm of the government of the Empire of Kufmal. The department of the Navy is headed by the Kansen Admiral Aquarius from their ministry headquarters at 28 Navy Row in Kufmal City. The navy has the following broad missions statrements:

* Wrest and maintain control of the seas pertaining to the ongoing interests of the Empire
* Protect maritime trade in the Empire to any extent
* Maintain order and movement etween the settlements of the Empire

To perform these missions, the Empire employs a variety of naval assets. The majority of these currently consist of a fleet of triremes and uqdriremes, as well as the facilities needed to contruct and support them, most famously including the Kufmal Walled Harbor. Many of these vessels utilize the empire's limited supply of Hearts of the Sea to create new sapient Kansen to better defend the empire. More recent experiments have toyed with improving naval platforms such as caravels and carrack type vessels, similar to new trade vessels leaving the empire's slipways. The navy also employs small, elite marine squadrons who are competent in training Kufmalian Army troops a crash course in naval landings and ship-to-ship naval melee combat.

The Imperial Navy's finest hour came during the April Uprising, where the older model trireme Aquarius was recommisioned from her museum ship role to personally lead the naval landing at Bruhmethius and land army troops. During this battle, the navy carried, dropped off, and provided fire support for the Kufmalian Army, the Emperor and investigative reporter Tengu Aya Shameimaru.

Hell Raven

Hell Ravens are a rare species of youkai that exist in the Empire of Kufmal. As of now, there is only one member of the species in the empire, the Yatagarasu named Utsuho Reiuji.

Illotep

Illotep in front of his office

Illotep is a master architect that has drawn up the plans for many great structures in the Empire of Kufmal. He was born in and currently resides in the city of Bruhmethius, but he was raised in Uxban.

Illotep inadvertently played a role in the April Uprising when he was kidnapped by an agent of Bruhmethius' governor Shathenaten. He was forced to design several grand structures while in captivity, including the Pyramid of Shathenaten. It was during the pyramid's unveiling that reporter Aya Shameimaru noticed the watermark that Illotep had put into many of his buildings, an arrow made out of four rare calcite blocks. This led her and busineesman Fren Banklin to investigate what would become the April Uprising. During the investigation, agent Hunter Hardy was ordered to burn down Illotep's home in Uxban to destroy evidence, which was unsuccessful. The ruin still stands as a historical site.

At the conclusion of the siege of Bruhmethius in April of 2022, Illotep was freed from his cell beneath the Pyramid of Shatenaten. Afterwards, he stayed in the city and established the Illotep Construction Solutions office. He also designed the April Uprising Monument. His main industry rival is Nitori Kawashiro.

These are some of the structures he designed:

* Hagia Bruhphia Cathedral
* Pyramid of Shathenaten
* Bruhmethius Palace Office Complex
* Cathedral of Our Lady of Kufmal
* Pillar Palace
* Obelisk of Redemption
* Great Ziggurat of the Cape
* Imperial Summer Palace
* Prismriver Mansion
House of Kirisame

The family adopts young boys to train for their team in the Kufmal Ball Game, the "Master Sparks". However, they give the most care towards their own kin, who take up higher positions in the Kirisame enterprises. The biggest example of this is their prodigy, Travis Kirisame, who is on track to be the head of the Master Sparks. Their main rivals both in the ballgame and in terms of politics are the members of the House of Margatroid. Marisa Kirisame has a personal rivalry with their Matriarch, Alice Margatroid, who has been training a prodigy named Lilac Margatroid to rival Travis.
Wakasagihime

Wakasagihime is currently the only Mermaid living in the Empire of Kufmal. She lives in Rokkīairando, first appearing after the town started farming prismarine from the nearby ocean monument. She has since become the head of the Ningyo Prismarine Industries corporation, leading it to success due to her excellent swimming agility and prowess in underwater combat. She does not talk much outside of her work duties, spening most of her time in the waters beneath the town. As such, little is known about her or her species.
Slough

Slough at midday, 11/30/2022

Map view of Slough, 11/28/2022

Slough is a town in the far northwest frontier of the Empire of Kufmal. It is located on the continent of Icehole. The town is connected to the Nether Highway Network. The town is covered in snow year-round.

Slough has a reputation as a backwater in the empire, and is often forgotten. The town used to be governed by Ocublox, but has since abandoned the desolate town.
Empire Map Project

The Empire Map Project is a cartography project operated by the Ministry of the Interior. It resides within the bowels of the Temple of the Yellow Sun at 49 Ravi Road in Kufmal City. The project began as a large vertical map board that used to reside at 53 sky circle, the current site of the Kufmal Municipal Public Baths. The baths were built inside the pit left by the map project after it was dismantled, as the map quickly outgrew its space.

The decision was made to host the map project as a floor map inside the Yellow Temple, as it was a large interior space with shelter from the elements. In exchange, the priests of the temple received an annual grant to host the project in their sacred temple. The tourism brought by citizens viewing the ever-expanding map project also boosted the visitation to the temple mount, even more helped by the arrival of the Yatagarasu.

The map project is regularly expanded, but does not yet reach every existing city in the Empire of Kufmal.
Nether Highway Network

The Nether Highway Network is a transportation system established and maintained by the Department of Transportation of the Empire of Kufmal. It connects every single named city and town in the empire, and is a vital cargo route in the economic capacity of the empire.

This route is not without its dangers, however. Those travelling the highways must be wary of rogue piglins and ghasts. Most of the core cities have other, less dangerous options for travel, such as the Kufmal Metro and the open oceans. However, those living on the outskirts and frontiers of the empire must rely upon the highway despite these dangers. To migitage this threat, forces from the Kufmalian Army maintain a permanent garrison of most routes in order to ensure safety. The only time this service has been interrupted was during the April Uprising, when followers of Shathenaten barricaded and sabotaged their nether portal into the city of Bruhmethius.

Consturction of the network is a perilous endeavor, and is often a task only assigned as prison labor. Few unnecessary structures are built in the nether, except for the elaborate gate that Bruhmethius had built during the reign of Shathenaten.

The Nether Highway Network has evolved much overtime, growing with the empire. As such, its official map has had to be continuously updated.
Keine Kamishirasawa

Keine in front of the Pyramid of Education

Keine Kamishirasawa is the Secretary of the Department of Civil Education in the Empire of Kufmal. She directs the development of knowledge and education in the empire from her office at the top of the Pyramid of Education in Kufmal City.

Yatasu

Yatasu atop the Temple of the Yellow Sun

Yatasu is the Head Priest of Kufmal City's Temple of the Yellow Sun, the main holy site of the religion of Yellowism. His duties include the day-to-day running of the temple and its staff, as well as the training of new priests and securing of government funding. These tasks have been both aided and complicated by the revealing of the Yatagarasu amd her subsequent kidnapping in the April Uprising of 2022. After the junior priest Ukuntu had befriended and introduced Yatagarasu utsuho Reiuji to Yatasu, he warmed up to the idea of having a sitting avatar of the sun diety at his yellow temple, even if the new avatar was somewhat clumsy and unacquainted with life in the Empire of Kufmal. He mostly leaves Ukuntu in charge of getting Okuu (Utsuho/Yatagarasu's nickname) up to speed, while Yatasu manages the finances and operations of the temple itself.

Yatasu is also the one that manages interactions with the Ministry of the Interior regarding the Empire Map Project, as well as theKufmal Metropolitan Transit Authority regarding their Kufmal Metro station, both of which are hosted in the temple's interior.

The business employs many in Momoyosa as part of the extraction, refinement and transportation process. The corporation is able to exercise so much control that Momoyosa is almost considered a company town. This is tolerated by the townsfolk due to the sheer amounts of wealth that such a large mining operation brings to the town.

The company was founded by Momoyo and a number of board members after the latter approached the former about monopolizing on Momoyo's initial discovery of the amethyst deposit the depot was built around.
Lookout Lancers

The Lookout Lancers are a team from the city of Cape Lookout that participates in the Kufmal Ball Game's imperial league.

Akashi

Akashi is a mythical figure in the Kufmal Pantheon. She is assumed to be female, but her gender is unknown, much like a lot of information about her. She is speculated to be either a deity or figure that represents milk, although which type of milk is unknown. Her temple in Kufmal City, the Suspicious Milk Temple, is assumed to be dedicated to the worship of milk. However, all records related to Akashi, the temple’s creation, and its exact purpose are missing. As such, Akashi has become more of a legend than an actively worshipped figure.

The Kallmur sea borders the continents of Mineuropa to its south, Icehole to its west, Arboland to its southeast, a tip of Roccenstoen to the east, and Sodderie to its north.

Trivia: The Kallmur Sea is named after the real-life Kalmar Union, a historic trade block that controlled much of the real-life Baltic Sea. This was chosen due to the sea Kallmur Sea being in the rough location of the Baltic Sea if you compare Mineuropa to Europe.
Prismriver Ensemble

The eastern section of the harbor is separated by a bridge over the waterway that leads to the primary shipyard and trireme pens and slipways used by the Kufmalian Navy. The navy builds, outfits and maintains much of its fleet out of the harbor.
First Capitol Building

The First Capitol Building is the seat of government for the Imperial Executive Arm, and the former seat of the Imperial Legislative Arm of the Government of Kufmal. It contains one room to hold the Emperor's court and another that used to hold the Imperial Senate. Outside, in a small plaza, is the Empire Column, the marker of the date of Kufmal's transition from a city-state to an empire on 11/27/2019. The building was completed the day before, right before the transition of the city-state of Kufmal City into the Empire of Kufmal.

On 1/23/2023, the New Capitol Building finished construction on the other side of Kufmal Square, becoming the new seat of imperial rule. Now, the building only houses the imperial court, also known as the Court of the Crimson King by locals. The former cramped senate chamber is now publicly viewable as a museum.

The building was completed on late November of 2019, right before the transition of the city-state of Kufmal City into the Empire of Kufmal.
Oomukade

Oomukade are a very rare species, with only one residing in the Empire of Kufmal. Little is known about oomukade besides the fact that they are a centipede-like youkai that excels at tunneling and spelunking. This is exemplified by the empire's only oomukade, Momoyo Himemushi, a successful business owner and miner that founded the first amethyst mine at the Amethyst Depot, which she discovered herself. In an interview with the Bunbunmaru Kufmal Gazette, Momoyo said herself that she relies on her heightened senses to navigate undergound and feel terrain features that lead to mineral wealth.

Oomukade are also assumed to be able to eat rocks, as Momoyo also does this. Her favorite mineral to eat is calcite, despite its rarity.

Kufmal Ball Game

The Kufmal Ball Game is a sport that is played in Kufmal City. It involves players on two teams hitting a ball using body parts other than their hands or feet, in order to knock them through vertical hoops on the sides of the court. The sport is immensely popular in the capital city, to the point of becoming an important political and cultural tool, but the ball game sees little interest outside of Kufmal City proper. Occasionally, teams formed from Uxban or Carhio will play, but they are not common.

The sport began on temporary dirt and wooden courts, with its popularity growing slowly alongside the growth of the city. It gradually became more organized, and began to receive better infrastructure. The Imperial Government consolidated the running of the sport and its tournaments under the Ministry of the Interior, one of its first action being the construction of the Kufmal Ball Court venue at 116 Army Row. Teams are free to form from anyone who finishes the application process. Teams are not organized by city, and are free to choose their own names.

The sport became more and more competitive over time. There are many teams on the annual tournament bracket, but the most notable of these belong to the major family houses of the city. These are Team Kirisame belonging to the House of Kirisame, and Team Margatroid belonging to the House of Margatroid. These houses' control of high-performing teams in the ball game eventually linked the politics of the houses to the ball game. Fans of the sport and these two teams became more polarized over time, and outcomes of games began to carry political weight on sensitive issues. As a result, bad calls by referees or upset victories at the ball court had higher chances of starting fights in the crowd and outrage in the press. Multiple small riots have started after some games, most notably the final match of the 2021 season when Team Margatroid scored a last second victory over a controversial referee call.

Athletes of the sport often become local celebrities and press darlings. One example is Travis Kirisame, a member of Team Kirisame who showed substantial talent in training, and was recently brought onto the team proper as a breakout rookie. There are rumors that he was running off to talk with a member of Team Margatroid, which is controversial due to the bad blood between both family houses and their respective teams.

An upcoming team has recently joined the league from Bruhmethius, bringing the total teams up to three, The groundwork for this team was laid by former Bruhmethius governor Shathenaten, but was continued by his successor Yamesus. The team, the Bruhmethius Medjeds, practices in the Bruhmethius Arena.

Trivia: The Kufmal Ball Game is heavily inspired by the real-life Maya Ballgame. The political and family house aspect of the sport is based off of the Hippodrome of Constantinople and the riots that happened in that city over their chariot races.
Kufmalian Army

The Kufmalian Army is one of the branches of the Kufmal Armed Forces of the Empire of Kufmal. It is led by the Ministry of the Army, which is headquartered at 29 Army Row in Kufmal City. The current head of the army is General Roy Bateas. The army has several subdivisions, including the Infantry, Artillery, Cavalry, Marines (shared with the Kufmalian Navy), Special Forces, National Guard, and more. Duties include riot control, peacekeeping, offensive and defensive operations, sieges, and some disaster response. One notable use of national guard forces is preventing riots around the highly factional and competitive Kufmal Ball Game.

The most famous action of the Kufmalian Army was during the April Uprising, when the marines and infantry landed on the shores of Bruhmethius under fire from the forces of the rogue governor Shathenaten. After disembarking the ships of the Kufmalian Navy invasion force, they excorted the Emperor past routing enemy forces to the stronghold of the Pyramid of Shathenaten. The following siege would lead to the deadliest day in the empire's history, when the army forces, led by the Emperor, breached the temple and faced the cultists of Shathenaten and the lasers from the imprisoned Yatagarasu. Their sacrifices are enshrined in the April Uprising Monument.
Kufmal Museum

The Kufmal Museum is a public museum currently located at 65 Museum Way in Kufmal City. There are plans to create a larger museum building, but the original building has stood since early in the history of the Empire of Kufmal. The museum contains artifacts from across the empire. Some of which include early flag designs for cities, the grave of Terramorphus the Nether Chicken Jockey, the bloody anvil from the 6/11/2023 trial of Andrew vs Fuzzy, the first pillager banner, the first Heart of the Sea, the last vial of Akashi's "suspicious water", old armor, expedition relics, pottery, relics of the first ender dragon fight, the first withher star, and much more.

Cerro Haldo is the southernmost city in the Empire of Kufmal. Cerro Haldo is a frontier mining town that was founded from scratch with the purpose of obtaining metals such as gold and copper.

## History

### Founding

Cerro Haldo began life as a frontier mining town that was founded from scratch with citizens from the city of Karnakk, after an imperial expedition found a mesa rich with gold southwest of Karnakk.

#### Boom Town

Cerro Haldo grew rapidly as a gold boom began. However, it was soon realized that another resource was present, in the form of copper. The city was one of the few cities built far away enough from the capital to find natural copper deposits, further fueling the city's booming economy and population. Even more recently, a new source of amethyst has been found in the city, putting it in competition with another large amethyst exporter, Momoyosa and its nearby Amethyst Depot.

## Geography

Cerro Haldo is dominated by mesa on all sides. It is the only city in the empire to have access to a mesa, and all the resources within it.

## Demographics

Cerro Haldo is home to a bountiful mix of demographics and species from all corners of the empire, due to its nature as a boom town.

## Administration

Cerro Haldo is notorious as a wild west in enforcement of the law, as it only has one small town jail and a single sheriff. Hence, most residents own some sort of weapon for self-defense, or offense.

## Infrastructure

* Connection to the Nether Highway Network
* Minecarts through and around the city's mineshafts

## Economy

The economy of Cerro Haldo is almost completely supported by mining exports of resources like gold and copper. The town's main imports are alcohol.

## Culture

### Religion

There is a small multi-faith chapel in town for the residents, who follow many different religions.

### Way of Life

The citizens of Cerro Haldo are proud of their lawlessness and freedom. Most of them spend their mining wage at the town saloon and do not care about much else.

## Notable Structures

* Town Saloon
* Cerro Haldo Mining Co.

## Trivia

It is a small southeastern town in the shadow of the nearby core city Fort Jennings, both lying on the continent of Pinniped. The town is connected to the Nether Highway Network.

The town was the only one to ever have co-governors. Under Dino and Delta's rule, the town had a streak of playing pranks against the imperial government, such as exploding the imperial town marker. The town was formerly known as Korantikum before they requested it changed to Solomnine. Eventually, the twin governors walked into the desert one day and were never seen again.

After the town had been stagnant for some time, it was awarded to governor EvilPleb after he began to build houses and impressive factories in the area.
Golem Memorial

The Golem Memorial is a tall building located at 44 Ravi Road in Kufmal City. It is the main source of the city's iron. As a thanks for the countless golems slaughtered in the name of progress, the bottom floor of the tower is a memorial for all the golems sacrificed and the flowers they dropped. Just ignore the moral questionability of it.

The building originally was meant to be a mob farm, but its location was not suitable for this purpose. Instead of being torn down, the structure was converted into a successful iron farm. It now blends surprisingly well into the city's skyline.
