>>48352529Good morning, /vwtbg/!
https://rentry.org/Harawata-OukokuI am forming the history of /unou/, the surrounding region and much more!!!
Here is the first part for those that are interested but don't want to open the document. I included what the terms refer to in the opening:
***
>Terms that will be useful>>Shitennō refers to the Heavenly Kings. (This is the actual term)>>Tengoku Jidai (Heaven Period) refers to when the Heavenly Kings were the dominant force in the genre. >>Tsukinode refers to Nijisanji. (Literally meaning Land of the Rising Moon)>>Sentenjō refers to what is /indie/ (Roughly translates in this case to many gods)The lands that make up the Harawata Oukoku have a long history that has seen them ruled over at some points by the Shitennō (四天王) during the Tengoku Jidai (天国時代), the Tsukinode Teikoku (塚本帝国), and the Sentenjō Teikoku (千天上帝国).
>Early YearsDuring the legendary Tengoku Jidai, the island of Saineshima (then known as Shimogashima (下賀島)) was an important stronghold of the Kiyo dynasty (輝夜). Likewise, the Nekokajun-hantō (then known as the Kii-hantō (紀伊半島)) was also under Kiyo rule during this period as an agricultural hub, something it remains to this day.
After the decline, fragmentation and ultimate fall of the Shitennō: the Saineshima soon found itself under the control of the Tsukinode after a period of struggle known as the Kasoku no Sensō (Tr. «Wars of Acceleration» (加速の戦争)) given its strategic importance. It fell under the rule of the upstart Suzuhara clan in 942 (-1492 BVTE), officially becoming known as the Saine Domain (さいね藩), with the island’s name changing to its present form as a result. Also, during this time, the Sentenjō took control of the Kii-hantō from the declining Kiyo and integrated it into their new realm.
For the purposes of the overall history, we must disconnect the stories of Saineshima and Nekokajun-hantō, as their fates weren't connected till a later date.

I have a follow up point of lore discussion to present in next post, but I would like to know what you think of this so far.
