History and Relations

Masakana only separated from the Oolu Empire around 900AL, which was incited by the Vastin Kingdom, who promised to support Masakana if they declared independence. This is a similar occurrence to when Oolu incited Yaele to separate from Vastin. Major ethnic groups here are primarily Oolu and Nor. They mostly export grain.

Military and Art

The Masakane lack the numbers of the surrounding kingdoms so they opt for elite heavy cavalry to be the face of their forces, trampling their foes and displaying might with their powerful steeds and armoured riders. Common architectural features include octagonal domes and colonnades, and common artforms include military parades and festivals of food and drink.
