The only accepted Species in the Realm of a thousand hands are the Hou Sun, noblest of all the beastmen, as they call themselves. The Hou Sun are monkeymen, a bit shorter than your average human, covered in fur on most of body and possessing a prehensile tail. Where most of the other races have feet or hooves the Hou Sun have hands, perfect for navigating their tree and mountaintop fortresses. 
Hou Sun live together in huge families in which the individuals only duty is to the community and the prestige of his family.[/hider]

[b]Faction Religion/Ideology:[/b] 
[i]"When the land was still young and empty the sky and the earth fell in love. The gazed upon each other every day, knowing they can never touch. But one day the earth stretched out, creating the mountains of hands. The highest of them, the Tiantang or heavenly hand, dared to touch the midsummer sky. And for the first time, the earth and the sky could finally touch each other. 
When the sky and the earth loved each other, their love created a child. Hou, the first monkey, noblest and wisest of all the races. All Hou Sun are his descendens."[/i]

The Hou Sun have a strong tradition of ancestor worship, with the Hou, or the first monkey, having a nearly godlike position and small shrines all over the kingdom of hands. The revered ancestors are also seen as role models for the living and important figures in Sun Banfa.
Sun Banfa is the way of the heavenly. A very abstract concept, almost every Hou Sun will give a different definition. Followers of the way strive to achieve perfection in their own lives no matter what their profession may be. A warrior should strive to be the best fighter, while a carpenter should built the best furniture. The Hou Sun believe that there is equal glory in all places and professions. A downside from this is that the Hou Sun do not tolerate failure. 
Since the Hou Sun believe the Sun Banfa to be the supreme way to live, the might also try to influence the world to serve it. A small number of Hou Sun try themselves as missionaries and a slightly bigger number as diplomats and assassins, bribing, influencing or simply murdering people who seem to stand in the path of Sun Banfa.

[b]Faction Description:[/b] 
The Heavenly Kingdom of a Thousand Hands, or how most outsiders call it, The Kingdom of Hands, is a reclusive enclave of the Hou Sun. Not trading or interacting much with what the call [i]"The primitive races"[/i], the Hou Sun could all be ignored but most other realms. However the shoul not be. The The Heavenly Kingdom of a Thousand Hands is a realm in which every resident strives for perfection. Their warriors, even though small in number are incredibly deadly with bow and spear, and every army that dares to attack them in their homeland of trees and mountains has already lost. 
The Heavenly Kingdom of a Thousand Hands is ruled by the Sun Gouwan, The Heavenly King and the Sun Shou, The Ten Heavenly Hands. While the King is the supreme authority the ten heavenly hands are five powerful mages and elders of important families.
