Yudigua

The empire of Yudiguo (YU-dee-gwa) commands the most sway in the region and beyond. The emperor of that great nation sits at the head of the August Heavenly Order, the official church of the state. The Order is active in all aspects of life in the empire and its authority is absolute. Over the course of centuries, the empress has consolidated power and spread that influence throughout the known world, establishing vassal states in nearby regions. The wangdoms of Banngoc (BAN-nyok) and Vanuwa (vah-NOO-ah) are little more than Yudiguo strongholds in Deineipsa and Bukana, respectively. Here, the feared terracotta Shen Warriors and Chiyou minotaurs have become a common sight and cause serious unease in bordering nations.
