Chapter One - 1.1 Kingdom of Ryco-chai and Ikotron ~ The Beginning

My name is Stella and I worked in the Kingdom of Ryco-chai. The Kingdom of Ryco-chai is the western child branch of our mother kingdom, Rycho-japchai, which resides in the far eastern continent of Asia. Our western kingdom is separated by a mystic ocean called the Pacifica. Ryco-chai recently conquered another great kingdom, called the kingdom of Ikotron.

The kingdom of Rycochai stands for peace, good peasant living and quality craftsmanship. Ikotron’s kingdom on the other hand has thrived for years relying on young blood, the strong and ambitious. Ikontron thirst for power and has a reputation for ruthlessness.

Our mother kingdom, Ryco-japchai is composed of dozens of subsidiary kingdoms that spans across all the continents. Our western kingdom has conquered Ikontron in the previous year, the year 1010. Over the past decades Ryco-japchai has fought and won many wars. The Salvin war, the Linary war and captured many small tribes throughout the Land of the North.

The recent merger of the two kingdoms into one resulted in clashed culture, values and violent outburst. It’s killing our western land. There are trails of casualties in the hundreds and thousands. Recently, the towns of Edmonds where farmers and scribes reside were left without homes. Even worse, the war broke out when the great recession emerged and it came in waves, like the waves of the plaques spreading far and wide.

The amalgamation strategies developed by the emperor of Ryco-japchai was ingenious. Imagine this, when you merge two civilizations, separated by ranks. Both form a hierarchal triangle with the king of the two clan at the top. One hierarchy of the original breed (the reds), and the other of a new breed (the blacks), and of equal ranks, who is to say one red knight is equal or better than a black knight? No one knows and if one is to determine by medals attained or by years of service, this would take decades to navigate down the rank of two civilizations. Emperor Ryco-japchai decided that in order to restore stability and peace, he will promote the ranks of the black knights from Ikotron above the red knights on every level at the kingdom of Rycho-chai. This will subdue the fear of massive recession, which is inevitable. In addition to that, the Black knights will have to prove their superiority to the reds in order to retain their priviledged positions.
