"Care to take care of this for me? After all, a record holder must listen to their emperor."

The regency has concluded, the Yaoguai have finally settled in Southern Han and have proclaimed the Liu Dynasty. Now, however, their question stands of how they shall convince their northern brethren to see that they deserve the Mandate of Heaven, rather than the 5 Rén kingdoms.

While the Mediterranean has the better advantage over other continents, it does not mean that other lands perished in the wake of the Great Storm. The lands of the Jin Dynasty were trapped behind the mountain ranges, which they used as their best strategic advantage. The demi-humans, which migrated from the forests before the Great Storm, found themselves in a strange spot of people believing them to be the yaoguai of Taoist mythology, up until the collapse of the Jin Dynasty. Where demi-humans, accepting the Yaogaui label, began to form political entities and kingdoms. Creating the Era of Six Kingdoms.

Lacus Ignis takes place in a semi-alternative history/semi-fantastical setting where the world enters a catastrophic climate, with the Mediterranean and East Asia being the last bastion for both humanity and demi-humans (also known as Bestias in the west and Yaoguai in the East). Bestias came upon the world after Germanic druids clung to desperate measures to stop the Hunnic invasions.

Some slang to understand for the world of Lacus Ignis: Serica:
Yaoguai = Demi-humans; Humanoids with animal features, they usually have the head of the animal with paws as feet and tails. The name is derived from Taoist mythology, referring to demons.
Rén = Referring to humans in general to create a distinction.

Ehhh, content warning for this bot. (Not really content warning, but a disclaimer) I am not Chinese nor Asian, clearly. However, I recently became invested in the history and mythology, and thought to myself, "Hey, this might be interesting for Lacus Ignis. It gives me more spots to work with, too!" Soooo, yeah. That's this bot. I tried my best to follow stuff like naming conventions, the Taoist belief system, etc, etc. But if there is anything that I got wrong, please do tell me. Enjoy this goober :3
