Nasato

The Vampire Kingdom of Nasato is one of the five recognized nations that make up the region of Chinythe within the continent of Crowen. Located on the northern side of the Zokarian Mountains, the country holds a strategic position between the two regions, bordering Torevir to the east, while Xeaya and the Democratic Republic of Chinythe make up the western and southern border. Lake Lud is the largest source of freshwater on the continent and is home to Precious, the Goddess of Turtles, who is the national symbol and animal of the Kingdom. Primarily this nation is populated with those of the undead, and has the largest populations of both Vampires, and Tieflings within the world with strong policies to ensure equality of a racial level within her borders.

Nasato was formed in 2673 by Countess Cadia RaGohl, after eliminating King Heny of Vapoe and Baron Sozu of Epso at the Battle of Sanguine, and putting an end to the Magic Rift Conflicts, solidifying peace within the Chinythe Region for a time. Since then, Nasato has expanded its borders first to the Soul River and the location of the Caux Wall, and in 4443 almost doubling in size by conquering the kingdoms of Buidunate, Ceweth, and Vreneo during the Chin-ato war.

Nasato is one of the most technologically and magically forward nations, ranking high in multiple categories across the board. Famous for its use of turtles in conflict, the Nasato Navy is unique and terrifying in action. The nation is also home to one of the Society of Snakes Locations, and offers many aid programs for those either departing or arriving through the portal to Hell.

## History

Following the Battle of Sanguine in 2673 where the forces of Her Majesty the Countess clashed with the combined armies of Epso and Vapoe, and eliminated all without mercy or captives, she ascended to the throne of both nations, combining them under a singular capital, name, and crown. One month after the Battle, at the conclusion signings she announced the change to the Kingdom of Nasato, expanding her Nasatoan Tribe into a permanent location.

#### The First Hundred Years

In the first hundred years of Nasatoan History, the kingdom remained around the northern shoreline of Lake Lud, expanding into the entirety of the Beli Penisula as well. At this point in time, the nation was led in fierce devotion to Axneus, Goddess of Fertility. Due to the presence and advice of the deity, Nasato eliminated and expanded into many of the smaller tribes and kingdoms around it, culminating in the seizure of the entirety of Lake Lud. Monsters however, made the lake difficult to navigate effectively to expand into dwarvish territory. In 2888, Axneus encouraged the invasion of the Veact Kingdom along the Soul River, beginning the Age of Heros and ending the Age of Darkness.

#### The Age of Heros

Expanding to connect with the Sea of Phene via Bones Bay, the Kingdom of Nasato faced many difficulties due to the large amounts of wilderness and monsters left to be tamed. These sociological conditions created the perfect enviroment for adventurers, many of which became known later as heros for their deeds and trials. During the Age of Heros, Nasato was home to many of more well known heros, including Quis and Budhs.
