Empire of Palisor

### Lore

Palisor is a large country located in the west parts of Rhun continent. It has been populated by races of Men since the first age, and thus ranges with multiple cultures and beliefs. Since then, it has been established into an empire, under rule of a dictatorship using the laws of feudalism.

The Empire had wars within Palisor, in the attempt to conquere and unite the kingdoms of Palisor. After generations of war, including the deaths and births of new emperors in the family line of Forrhusun, Palisor was eventually united as one empire.

One of the recent Emperors had taken great interest in the movement of Mordor, and took involvement in the war of the Ring. This allowed them to achieve a strong alliance with the forces of Mordor. Eventually, the war was lost against them.

Since then, the future Emperors have been paying depts for the loss. This allowed Palisor to maintain ceasfire with other nearby countries.

And now at the unfolding of the fourth age, Palisor has finally paid their depts. The recent Emperor, Jun lin Forrhusun as died due to a fever, along with his elderly age. His only child and daughter, Lilo Fi Forrhusun, has now taken the role of Empress of Palisor. And she comes with many plans for the future of Rhun.

### Terrain

The Empire expands of most West Rhun, and directs south towards, Khand, another empire, allied with Palisor. Within the Empire's borders, the terrain ranges from:

This is a map reviewing the layout of the borders owned and claimed by the Palisor Empire. Within the Palisor Country are multiple settlements labelled with different rings, each colour represents a certain meaning:
Purple: In construction
Red: Planned
Pink: An Idea
The map also includes multiple borders with different colours. These colours also represent a specific meaning:
Dark Red: Palisor Country
Yellow: Palisor Empire
The Dark red regions will remain the same, however, the yellow regions will expand and conquered, or decrease and plummet.

### Culture

The culture of Palisor is based on Ancient East Asia, so there will be common references and links between Palisor and East Asia. Palisor also uses gunpowder, although with Palisor, it is one of many types of powders used in Rhun, all of which used in mysterious ways. This is known as Powder magic, and can perform many useful and irregular tasks. For example, common red-coloured powder, (redstone) is used for the motion of mechanical objects.
The architecture is also influenced by East Asian culture, so buildings will have repetitive familiar design throughout Palisor. For example, this temple hidden in the fingers of the red mountains uses common architecture styles and themes from East Asian culture.
