Fiction:Holy Adinndra Empire

The Adinndra Empire, also known as the High Empire of Inkhan, is a human nation located on the border of the Sea of Sand and the Polar Lands, near the, with which it has a cordial, yet cold, relationship. Adinndra is far from the most powerful human nation, though they have considerable power in the lands to the northwest of the Empire of Man. Often considered a melting pot of cultures, the people of the Adinndra Empire vary from the cultured artisans that are the Khẽxa to the barbaric and nomadic Ẽñwu, all united by conquest and ruled under the yoke of the Ruban, a supposedly divine monarch of both Khẽxa and Ẽñwu descent. The main religion in Adinndra is the cult of Inkhan of the Two Halves, and the Ruban is considered the divine descendant of Inkhan.

While covering a sizeable amount of land in the Polar Lands and the Sea of Sand, less than half of this land is inhabitable, with settled civilization centered in the Moon Bastions, small yet sprawling and prosperous cities of stone and wood, each with a grand temple at the center of each. Each of these Bastions are ruled by minor Priests and Wenxin, while 9 - 15 Bastions are ruled collectively by Moon Priests and Rae, and all of these have a place on the General Assembly, though they all bow to the Ruban of Aatsi Thanka. Outside of the Bastions live the numerous tribes and nomads such as the Ẽñwu and Nãxu, collectively known as the Khai, tribes of nomads and hunter-gatherers that roam the lands for survival, and are a useful workforce and military force for the Empire. As such, it is the cooperation between the Khai and the Bastion-dwellers that makes the Adinndra Empire, and those who question its might shall be with woe.
