Iakutians 57% Iakutians are a race of red to blue-skinned humanoids having tentacle beards, bone spurs in their body, eye colors varying from pure dark to yellow and blue and a snake-like skin that is very resilient their race is also known for being emotional and even very aggressive a possible side effect of their cold environment mixed with Manarite albeit it is unknown since their race is said to even predate the discovery of Manarite. Vi’ar 20% is considered a subspecies of the Iakutians their origins are unknown spousing their same tone of skin and somewhat of the same looks differences being having four arms only 3 fingers even in feet and having an overall lower intelligence and generally are used as shock troopers and workers since they are very comforted about things. Humans 17% [do you need me to explain the apes who walk on 2 legs?] 6% others [neighboring ~~player~~ races that are within the empire] Governance & Politics The Ikatutian Empire is a hierarchical aristocratic and even theocratic led by the Aur’blut caste the empire divided between 4 major castes forged during the empire's birth; the emperor holds complete authority over the empire by divine right of the faith of the flaming sun. The empire is organized into two major branches, the imperial and the aristocratic branch, the throne and Imperial branch is generally the one where decisions are mostly made were executive, judiciary and partially the legislative, generally led by the Emperor or Empress and house Byax’tri the succession of emperors is generally a rule of absolute cognatic primogeniture with a exception in case a emperor or empress puts on the will a rule of appointment the first child can be skipped in favor of the one appointed by the ruler such rule generally creates problems but in general it's more calm thanks to the constitution of 624 of the Imperial age or the XIX directive setting many rules of succession to avoid disputes or civil wars. The second branch is the aristocratic led by the senate of nobles and clergy established in 112 of the Imperial age the senate holds half of the legislative power generally competing against the crown for power the senate generally creates a internal governmental dispute due to the senate competing with its established familial and patrimonial houses against the Empires system and even appointed governors for provinces generally led by the 4 dynasties of nobles and one of clergy that are famous for controlling the senate the second group are the church of the eternal sun allied with the crown but also the nobility the clergy keeps itself as a third power one that is quickly waning due to the increasing secularism of the state something that keeps the churches worried about the situation presented growing increasingly fanatical. Culture & Society The Iakutians Empire are a stratified society where four castes exist the first are the Aur’blut or purple blood in common tongue something that while can be called a joke its a biological event people with purple blood in the higher standards of society aren't uncommon to see and also blue blood is also not uncommon generally being composed of priests and the aristocracy of the empire who claim their role is to rule and govern then there is the Hiva’yat translated into commoners generally are the ones who work and keep the state ruining the industry, merchants and many many other functions generally being the 1st largest in the pyramid the Yio’zae are the military caste of the empire composed almost entirely of Vi’ar being the 3rd biggest ahead of the Pur’blut they are the military wing of the state while obviously bloated they also serve as cheep manpower for massive construction the lats one are the Zir’bo or Slaves but translated over as serfs are a cast of enslaved peoples that serve only to care for the fields and to work in mines and even factories being the second largest population of the chart. Culturally speaking the empire is famous for having great expressions of art due to Iakutians being famous for being heavily emotional beings the biggest outlet for then is in the zone of arts ~~when war is not present~~ and generally seeking crafting as a second passion one thing that is very celebrated is the festive of the flowers when the summer reaches its height and nature is at its height the people into celebration in the name of the birth of the sun. Architecturally speaking the Empire has a different form of architecture preferring pyramids for administrative areas and in religious areas with buildings generally being stylish and very pretty to the eye in painting but it also is split into a north and south divide southern architecture is more made to not retain heat while north is made more to retain heat due to cold winters and generally utilizes more wood compared to southern ones that utilize more stone and rock for buildings. The faith of the flaming sun is the primary culture of the nation a ritualistic and spiritualistic religion focused on the well being of nature and the spirits but also the existence of the god of the sun one of its most famous traditions is the festival of the birth of the sun but also one thing that is famous for is the ritualistic sacrifice of animals to the sun and the spirits. Technology The empire is famous for being tinkers, engineers and architects but not good mathematicians generally using creative minds to create good improvised fortresses made out of wood or stone in quick time but also creating artillery for sieges and battles when needed. Magic Overly speaking magic for the Empire is generally assigned to the Aur’blut caste but sometimes it also has practitioners of lower castes magic is generally associated with enchanting where items and weapons are given runes that allow weapons to be more sharp resilient or fire bullets that explode generally more associated with smiths of the lower castes who use blood to make this powers appear. The second type is what is called Alchemy generally practiced by higher castes alchemy is a mysterious field of study where magic is used to create elements transmute elements alter life and even change people some believe that it was the secrets of this field of magic that resulted in the Vi’ar alchemy is generally famous for being used more in battle as mages use reactions to create near impossible events come to life. Military Overview: Mass assault is the empire's main military doctrine, generally focused on overwhelming the enemy in firepower and numbers while its standing army lies in nearly 800k active personnel across its borders.
