Empire of the Clouds

An empire spreading from the city of Shuto. Known as the Empire of the Clouds because most lands under the empire's domain seem to be consistently overcast, hazy or foggy. Emperor Kijin Tono has gained impressive power over the last 25 years by conquering lands starting from the island of Shima, his original domain and spreading his empire West and South into the lands of Nouchi.

Tono's empire has tight control of weapons and metal working throughout the imperial lands.
