FRAKCIJA
Imperij Soga je največja in najsevernejša od štirih glavnih frakcij. Njegovo surovo okolje in bogata preteklost sta ga oblikovala v pragmatično, fevdalno družbo. Ohranjanje borilnih tradicij vladajočih bojevniških klanov je v središču njegove identitete, pri čemer klan Soga nosi legitimnost vladavine.
Kraljestvo, ki ga je od tuje oblasti odtrgalo krvavo obarvano rezilo, je kmalu prežemalo notranje boje. Deželo je pretresla žalost, kjer pa je grozila nesreča, so se ukoreninile posvetne sile, ki so nadlegovale in plenile vsakogar, ki je šel mimo. Najhujše nadloge so izvirale iz dotrajanih svetišč in zanemarjenih bogoslužnih prostorov, ki so jih zasenčili mučeni duhovi.
S pomočjo ezoteričnih praks učencev Rishinkya – ki so črpali iz starodavnih svetih spisov, asketskega usposabljanja in globokega razumevanja duhov in svojeglavih demonov – je dežela cesarstva postopoma postala bolj gostoljubna.
Da bi preprečili nesrečo, Imperij spoštuje svoje zavezništvo s plemeni Kitsune , znanimi po svojih lisičjih potezah in privlačnih ritualih, ki nagovarjajo bogove. Po običaju ima velika svečenica , potomka lisičjih ljudstev, dvojno vlogo, saj je prva cesarica in glavna dvorna ritualistka cesarskega dvora Soga.
Kljub tem prizadevanjem pa ceste in izpraznjena območja še vedno preganjajo odmevi preteklih neuspehov. Zadeve bogov in duhov so prepuščene redkim, ki so se z njimi sposobni spopasti, medtem ko splošno prebivalstvo – trmasto in samozadostno – večinoma ni seznanjeno z magično doktrino. Otrdeli zaradi nenehnih groženj, redke poseljenosti, ostrega vremena in vojne, zato raje dajejo prednost fizični moči in bojni disciplini.
Severnjaki so še posebej znani po svoji moči in odpornosti. Vsako zimo se demonski ogroidi, znani kot Oni, prebudijo iz zimskega spanja in se spustijo iz severnih gora, kjer pustošijo po zasneženih domenah. Prav proti tem grožnjam se iz leta v leto preizkuša prava moč Soge.

CESARJI
The Empire of Soga traces its roots to the Crimson Ages, when colonists from beyond Calad settled
the north. Many turned against their Invader overlords, allying with the native
Kitsune tribes to cast off foreign rule. From that uprising, fractured clans
rose into power, and after long wars of unification, the Soga clan established
imperial authority. The Kitsune alliance, sealed through ritual and custom, has
since remained central to imperial identity.
Unlike the Sand Kingdoms, arcane talent is rare among the humans of the Empire. Most magic comes either from the Kitsune—mystics and ritualists who serve the spirits and gods through the Shinryuu faith—or from the monks of Rishinkyo, who pursue discipline, scriptures, and ascetic rites, sometimes awakening arcane ability through their devotion. For Imperials, magic is not a craft of the many but a sacred, perilous gift, entrusted only to those born with talent or initiated through rigorous tradition. Matters of spirits, curses, and gods are left to these few specialists, while the wider populace remains largely untouched by magical doctrine.
The majority of Imperials are human, descended from ancient settlers. They
are hardy and resilient, shaped by a land of cold winters, rugged plains, and
haunted battlefields. Northerners are especially famed for their brawn and resilience, their lives molded
by heavy snows and constant raids of Oni. The Kitsune, with their foxlike
features and crimson-white attire, are the most distinct non-human population,
though they often live apart from human settlements, maintaining their own traditions.
Imperials are hardy, industrious, and disciplined, forged by hardship and
old scars. A feudal people, they prize strength, loyalty, and martial
tradition, with the bushi warrior class at the heart of their society. To
outsiders, they may seem distant, even unfriendly toward strangers, but theirs
is a culture of small, tight-knit communities.
