Sen Akai

The smallest of the Baronies also has the bloodiest history. The humans of Sen Akai, similarly to those of Kerad, have spent the last few decades making up for being the aggressors in an era of incessant and exhausting war. After the Baronies were first established, the ambitious leaders of Sen Akai looked beyond its green pastures and ornate architecture, intent on adding land to their confined borders. Time and time again, the early martial arts masters grouped together at the limit of the Chain's threshold and set out, using raids as a diversionary tactic while other forces flanked towns and settlements in nearby Baronies. Time and time again, they were repelled, taking as many losses as they dealt.

After nearly a century of fighting, an internal power struggle resulted in the assassination of the power hungry leaders and Sen Akai began the long journey of peace and healing. The new regime had one goal - the little land they had would be made beautiful beyond compare. The few people they had would become the best versions of themselves.

Today, Sen Akai has indeed come close to the goals it set in its quest for redemption. The land is greatly cared for, the pastures are symmetrical to avoid wasting even the slightest amount of space. The culture of Sen Akai has transformed into one of self-reflection, clearing the mind, purity of the soul and hardening of the physical form. Its buildings are made exclusively from wood, with curved, tiled roofs and sliding doors, all supported by posts and lintels. Its people are raised from birth to embrace martial arts, for its ability to focus the mind and enable self-reliance. Nearly every natural born citizen of Sen Akai is at minimum an amateur fighter. A majority can instantly form an effective militia. This fighting force, however, hasn't seen actual war since the Barony's direction changed. They are guided by the teachings of monk, who encourage serenity, self-confidence and the value of life.
