Preface
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
First off, I would like to disclose the lore of "Aisho" was created from an "RP-set" of characters. An RP-set, is a loose term we use to describe a set of characters that were pre-planned to have ties in their past before their arrival to the server. Also, I would like to let others know that although this lore is public, we would greatly appreciate anyone who would want to make a character based on our lore to contact and tell us prior to just throwing themselves in.
The Continent
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
The continent of Aisho is itself too large to be an island and too small to be a continent, thus making the two definitions both correct and incorrect at the same time... So it's often called either. The island itself has varying geographical regions, which themselves have varying climates. To the west... The land is very flat, some areas being well below sea level. The western lands also have a warm tropical climate, and are mostly marshlands, it is because of this that the area receives massive amounts of rain flow from the mountains in the continent's center, making it a prime location for growing rice and other crops (no, just rice).
South of the central mountains... The land consists of alternating planes and forests, leading up to forests that creep up onto the mountain side. The mountain range itself is highest in the center of the enormous island, but ranges slightly west and all the way over the northern coast of the eastern portion of the continent.
To the east... The lands south of the lower mountains are predominately plains. Horses roam freely, inhabiting most of the eastern land. During the winter, the eastern part of the island receives tremendous amounts of snowfall, often making travel for large groups impossible.
Fiefs and the people
-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-
The entire country is divided in rule and is composed of well over 50 fiefs. People from the west are predominantly rice farmers. Additionally, there are fewer fiefs in the west than the other areas of the continent. The center holds the most fiefs, possibly due to the natural water flow that they receive from the mountain. The people in the center of Aisho tend to make their cities and villages at ground level around the mountain. The mountain itself is filled with various dangers: mountainous creatures, monk temples, defiant mountain villages and other unknown sociocultural outcast establishments. The center of Aisho is where a large portion of strife takes place.
The central government, located south of the mountain is in constant strife amongst itself with local daimyos (lords) fighting for power of the government itself. This unstable mass of rule also wars against the people living in the mountains, attempting to both establish control over them, and disallow various mysterious blockages of river flow caused by unknown forces.
The people of the east are not far off from their relatives in the center, fighting for power and attempting to establish a large government to topple the central one and reign over the mountain and its resources.
