Leader of Kingdom:
Tabitha Yuki (Age 19) - Tabitha Yuki is the curren Khan of the Sarmandal Clan. Her father died when she was still a teenager at the age of fourteen. She's been raised by Shen Xingke, her fathers trusted warlord even though he was from a clan that was absorbed some thirty years ago. He mother died in child birth though many claim she looks like her. A young asian women, with a korean like face, with redish brown hair. Like all women of the Sarmandal Clan her right breast was cauterized when she was still an infant, so that it's growth is arrested; all the strength is then diverted to the women's right arm and shoulder. While still virgins they participate in all activities untill they've killed two enemies, after which she is allowed to marry, no longer allowed to act as men. Because of this law she has only killed one enemy hoping that Shen Xingke will develop the same feelings she has for him.

Second Character:
Shen Xingke (Age 21) - Shen Xingke is the warlord of the Sarmandal Clan rising to the position through his natural ability to command others and his skills as a warrior. A mere child of 3 years when the Sarmandal Clan absorbed his own clan from the Sarmius Village, he was seen by the Sarmandal people as a burden untill he reached manhood when they finally saw his seemingly god-given talent in combat. He rose quickly becoming Yamato Yuki, Tabitha's father, trusted warlord, a fact that remains to infuriate Girghe Yuki to this day. Stepping in to help raise and protect Tabitha when her father passed of old age, at the command of the dying Khan.

Although he beleives her to be the most beautiful women within the Clan he refuses to show his feelings for her knowing that with although the Gods may have granted him amazing skill in combat, they cursed him with his poor health. He dislikes Girghe Yuki because he beleives him to be cruel and ruthless. Shen has a wiry build with long black hair that flows to the about his shoulder blades. His eyes are an uncommon grey.

Third Character:

Girghe Yuki (Age 48) - Girghe Yuki is the younger brother of Yamato Yuki and the Uncle of Tabitha Yuki. Swift to meet out justice to criminals, he's a cruel and unforgiving man. People within the village of Sarmius, where he moved to after the village was conquered by him and his brother, see an increased production of goods. Not because he's a brillant administrator, far from it for he's average at best, but because they fear his Iron Fist rule of the village. His hatred for Shen Xingke is well known throughout the clan. He goes so far as to use his conections to generally make Shen's life harder for gaining his brothers trust and replacing him as the Warlord of the Sarmandal Clan. That's just the tip of the iceberg, he also dislikes the fact that his brother asked Shen to raise and protect Tabitha instead of him, his own flesh and blood.

Brief Kingdom History: The Sarmandal Clan is a clan of various tribes that have been absorbed by them throught their years of exsitence. The most recent clan being from the small village of Sarmius. Being conquered and absorbed within the clan more a little over 30 years they have yet to be fully accepted within the clan. Because of this they are generally not accepted into the clan's Noble Warrior units like others who have family in it but must earn their place regardless if they already have family serving in the unit. Gernerally they serve with the Sarmandal Skirmishers/Beserkers for a number of years before they earn the trust and respect that the vast majority of others automatically get. The people of the Sarmandal Clan resemble that of Koreans and Japanese people. Most of the Japanese like people came from the Sarmius Village when it was conquered.

Unlike most nations the Sarmandal Clan utilizes everyone in warfare, even women up to an extent. Women within the Sarmandal Clan have their right breast cauterized at birth, so that it's growth is arrested; all the strength is then diverted to the women's right arm and shoulder. The Clan practices this because it is required that every female kill at least two of her enemies before she is allowed to marry. Some women go on to become your normal mother of the time but others continue to take part in being both a warrior and a mother. Since the Conquering of Sarmius the Sarmandal Clan has been content with it's current borders; since Tabitha Yuki has reached the age of twenty and still has not claimed her second kill, many of the elder clanspeople are urging that conflict is needed so the younger females of the Sarmandal Clan can meet the clans requirements so they can begin to marry and the Clan can grow even stronger.

Luckily for the Sarmandal Clan has no fear from the southern neighbors, The Grand Survaek Empire, for Girghe Yuki and the Crown Princess of Greater Byrnia Ishui Seldu-Khaitis were betrothed. She would become his second wife and such a marriage would provide a benificial alliance for the both of them. The place and date of the wedding has yet to be announced, but details would be forthcoming.

Kingdom Traits:

Storytelling Tradition- Your people are known for their amazing poets, skalds, and play-writes. They know how to make you achievements sound greater and defeats noble.
All positive Renown is increased 20%. All negative Renown is decreased 20%.

Nomadic (Barbaric only)- Your people are constantly on the move and most of their structures are mostly of canvas, skins and wood and can be packed up in a few hours. Because of this the concept of fixed defenses holds no sway.
Settlements cost half the normal cost to upgrade but you may not build Protection constructs above palisades.

Kingdom Starting Location:

Should be plotted on the map; above the Grand Survaek Empire is where I'm at.

Kingdom Cities:

Vanthia (Town/Capitol) - The town of Vanthia is the capitol of the Sarmandal Clans. Like most of the barbarian towns it started off a a series of small warring villages vying for their own claims along the river. Eventually they became united, the small villages growing together along both sides of the banks, merging into the bustling town it is now. If one were to view the town from the sky it'd look like a rough circle with the river running through the it like and 'S'. The towns buildings are for the most part simple huts, very few buildings are built with stone, only those of great importance such as the Khan's home, the sacrificial table, and similar buildings. Vanthia is home to just over 100,000 of the Sarmandal Clan's population, they rely greatly on the fish flowing with the river and the game that the surrounding land provides.

Sarmius (Village) - A village that was taken in conquest roughly thirty years ago by Yamato and Girghe Yuki the small settlement has now grown in size. A coastal village, it provides the Sarmandal Clan with acess to the sea. Along the rocky coast you find more stone buildings though the roofs are still lightweight material. Most of the village is close to the shore, near their boats so the village actuall stretches some distance along the coast. The Village of Sarmius has nearly doubled in size since the Sarmandal Clan absorbed them and is home to some 50,000 people now.
