Taigawama

Known as the land of spirits to the locals, Taigawama is a human nation. However, many creatures not found elsewhere in the world also make their home in the wilds of these lands.

Taigawama is split into multiple clans ruled by shoguns. Once they were united by an emperor of their own, but since their last ruler was a half-elf who could have no children of his own, the multiple clans have gone to war with one another, hoping to found a new dynasty and unite the islands once more.

Also home to many avian races, the people of Taigawama have great reverence for the prime elemental of air, Kongi, though all prime elementals are worshiped here to some extent.

History
Taigawama was conquered by the first Edan Empire during the Second Age. At the time, the isolated island nation was largely made up of barbaric human tribes, who were lifted into nobility by the Moon King and became the model for their modern clans.

Like many across Edanka, the clans of Taigawama united into a single force under a great warrior known as Washiha and cast the Edan Empire from their lands. Washiha declared himself emperor of Taigawama and overlord of the clans shortly after.

The Edan had brought much to Taigawama, including writing and advanced smithing techniques, allowing the island nation to continue developing relatively isolated from the rest of the world.

It was only 100 years ago when the last Washiha's line, a half-elf known as Okami died with no heirs that the clans have been caught in a seemingly endless war of succession, hoping to forge a new dynasty to replace the one that was lost.
