Kingdom of Hu

The Kingdom of Hu is one of the two kingdoms: it is represented by the Tiger.

Geography

Hu is comprised of an archipelago lying to the south of Long. Felidia, the large island in eastern Hu, is the homeland of the ruling Pantera clan. Other large islands include Ursidia (a fat island to the south west of Felidia) and Canidia (north of Ursidia).

The Duchies in Western Hu, such as Cetacia-Sirenia, are comprised of a number of smaller islands.

For many the kingdom is divided into Eastern Hu, Western Hu, Chiroptera to the south, and the uninteresting "sail through provinces" of central Hu.

History

Hu is the "younger" of the two kingdoms with high culture first developing during the Naja Dynasty era. At that time many aspects of Long culture such as art, fashion, architecture and language were adopted by the Hu nobility.

Modern Hu has led the way in technological innovation such as the invention of the printing press, advances in military technology and modern irrigation. The Sirenian and Cetacian peoples of western Hu are also responsible for most advances in seafaring such as the large modern cargo ships and the small fast "skipper vessels" powered by triangular sales.
