[@Legion02] Your faction sounds pretty neat. I notice you're bordering me to my west, so we should probably work out a few things.

The four named regions are Justinian realms, conquered recently (like in the past ~30 years) and ruled over by my guys, the Khamag Yaksha: a confederation of nomadic tribes of horsemen who share common ancestry. Since your guys seem to have a beef with Justinians, this seems relevant.

My story has it that a few hundred years ago (some time after Daigon's fall), the Justinian march states launched an eastward crusade, spearheaded by fanatical knight orders, with the goal to bring the light of Justinian to the human tribes of the region. In the aftermath, the Kingdom of Artova and the three duchies were established, and with missionaries, settlers, and funding from the west the region was slowly developed and Justinianized. However, the further east you go, the more the people's faith seems watered down, mixed with the old beliefs of the tribes that once lived there.

Perhaps the creation of a Justinian state failed in your area, but succeeded further east? An enclave of Justinianism in a savage land. My original thought was that the lands to my west were Justinians, who quite frankly seem more profitable for us to raid than you guys. On the other hand, us having a buffer zone of barbarians would make it easier for us to hold on to our conquests.

Whatever you do, I think the crusades should probably be an event that left a mark in your history, since the crusaders would have to march through your place.
