The Empire of Seyko is an empire that broke of from the Empire of Magdorland, retrieving their independence after the Seykan Revolution in 80 IE.

## History

### The Seykan Revolution

The Seykan Revolution was a bloody one. Due to the bloodshed, Emperor Theseus the Challenger, the ruling sovereign at the time, took pity on the Seykan rebellion and granted independence to the Kingdom of Seyko, which later reformed itself into an empire.

### Rinyuaru

The Rinyuaru in a period of Seykan cultural, political, and artistic rebirth that started during the early 2nd century IE. This period saw the Seykan people embracing technology, and finding a new culture that resides around it. They created many cartoon-like art, unique culinary and architecture, and well as a new set of social norms. Despite this, they didn't forget their old culture. However they are much less common.

## Government

### Izanagihead

The Izanagihead is a pantheon of three controlling entities that govern the lands of the Seykan Empire.

#### Amaterasuhead

The Amaterasuhead is known as the ruling royal family. The Amaterasuhead's leader is the emperor and it's members are the sovereign's familial relatives old enough to take part in governance. The Amaterasuhead is the highest form of power among the three, therefore the highest form of power in the country. Some important members of the Amaterasuhead are even considered deities or descendants of long dead ones. The task of the Amaterasuhead is to lead the nation to prosperity and glory. The Amaterasuhead also act as high priests for the Seyko religion, making sure everything that happens in Seyko follows their belief systems.

#### Tsukuyomihead

The Tsukoyomihead is known as the bridge between the Amaterasuhead and the common folk. The Tsukuyomihead is divided into two other branches, the legislative and judicial branches. The legislative branch is tasked in the creation of laws, making sure they both benefit the monarch and the people. If their laws appeal the common folk and are agreed to by the emperor, said laws will be official. The judicial branch in turn is tasked with enforcing these laws. Capturing and punishing law breakers accordingly is part of their duty.

#### Susanoohead

The Susanoohead, or usually shortened to Susanoo, is the lowest ranking branch of the Izanagihead, and is generally known as the military of the nation. The Susanoohead is also filled with diplomats and politicians, much like the Ares and the Montu from the Empire of Magdorland and the Imperial Magdorland Forareich respectively. The Susanoohead can also draft able civilians at the age of 17 or up to itself if needed.

### Izanamihead

The Izanamihead is a completely different branch from the Izanagihead, though they are seen to cooperate with each other on numerous occasions. The Inazamihead is a pantheon of ministries, much like the Magdorland Exinteros. However, unlike the Exinteros, the Izanamihead doesn't follow the system of 6 main ministries, followed with smaller ministries which are controlled by main ones. Instead, the leader and commander of the Izanamihead is the current sovereign of the nation and they have the power to make or disband ministries at will.

## Culture

### Tradition

#### Ojigi

Ojigi is known as the practice of bowing. Ojigi is not a ritual or a celebration, but rather a manner. Most Seykans will bow in place of what would be a handshake or a wave back in the Empire of Magdorland. Ojigi is a way to show politeness and humility to the audience we're speaking to. Ojigi can also be used as a way to show sorry, sorrow, or regret.

### Religion

The official religion of the Seykan Empire is known as the Seyko religion. The Seyko religion is an animist religion, it gives souls to everything and anything, be it inanimate objects, feelings, actions, and even people. Important beings' and objects' souls are usually worshipped as gods, such as the soul of the Sun, the soul of the Moon, or even the soul of the emperor. Followers of these religions also worship the dead, as they believe that human souls - the most important among all - can ascend to godhood after death.

Rituals in attempt to worship these souls are pushed to great lengths; some sacrifice their finest livestock, some practice tirelessly for months to perform a celebration for them. Above all, there are priests who lead worship, stating scripture and setting prayers. These priests have a hierarchy in their organization. The lowest being your local Seyko priest, and the highest being the Amaterasuhead, being head priest of the entire religion.
