History
Before Xia came to be there was the Aelish empire, separated into four provinces, fire earth that resided on Eastern Aelis and water and wind on Western Aelis, and emperor that ruled in the central province the royal lineage of Aelis is intentionally spread across the four provinces so there is equal cultural representation on the throne, with province having it's turn to reign over the empire. Because of the continents form fire and earth provinces were separated culturally from water and wind. When the 13th emperor health began to decline, the next successor, would be in water and the next cycle would be earth. However the successor died, visiting the fire province, thus suspicion was cast on the emperor's death, soon rumors spread and then later open conflict began, lines were drawn and provinces of western Aelis formed into the Xia Kingdom.
