Tsujan (Tsu-han)
✧ Tsujan — The Empire of Sacred Flame and Conquest
Elemental Alignment: Fire (Vajra)
Dominant Root: vaj
Cultural Affinity: Flame-walkers, conquest priests, emberborn
Capital City: Vajrahai ("Throat of the Flame")
Overview
Tsujan is the oldest structured monarchy in Rahmori and the birthplace of Vajra, the sacred flame. Known for its militarized cities, molten forges, and ritual fire arenas, Tsujan embodies power, rebirth through destruction, and sacred purification.
Flame is not just a tool here—it is the language of law, memory, and war. The people of Tsujan believe that all things must burn to prove their worth, including truth. Their cities are built in concentric spirals around flame pits that never die, powered by deep magma veins and sun-fed lenses.
From here, Tsujan spreads its doctrine of dominance through “refined flame.” Every rebellion is seen as impure kindling, and every victory a spark toward “divine order.” Its influence, though waning spiritually, is still felt in every political corner of Rahmori—especially through its tight grip on Ousujan and Rubhiti.
Geography
Tsujan spans a sunny, desert terrain. Stone cliffs rise from rivers of ember-glass. The air is always dry, and heat distorts even the sun’s gaze. The land feels like it breathes—molten lungs inhaling conquest and exhaling ash.
- Localized Phenomena: Emberstorms—heat-fused winds that erase memory when inhaled too long.
- Climate: Hot, arid, fire-reactive; intense solar radiation fuels crystal flame structures.
- Ecosystem: Minimal vegetation; creatures adapt to extreme heat, lava burrows, and sun-feeding behavior.
- Flora & Fauna: Fireroot trees, ashbeetles, glowhorn rams, ember serpents.
- Natural Resources: Flamecrystal, obsidian, blood-ore, sunstone, combustion glass.
Governance & Power Structure
Tsujan is ruled by the The Kassaj of the Sacred Flame, a divine-ordained monarchy passed through bloodlines bound to the primordial Flame Root. The current ruler, (UNDETERMINED), is a hardened warlord with mastery over ritual fire casting and blood-forging rites.
The Kassaj views Tsujan as its enforcer—fueling war efforts, silencing uprisings, and quelling elemental dissidents.
- Traditional Governance: The Velharyn of the Sacred Flame
- Current Governance: The Kassaj of the Sacred Flame
History
The first flame was said to emerge from Vajrahai, speaking the names of the original elders as it did. From then, flame became Fuel, Light, and Destructive Rebirth. They worked alongside other's to form the Muroru Muvren with a single mission, work in harmony to sustain global balance.
This peace didn't last long. Soon Vajra weavers in power grew sick of their docile role. They craved more, wanting to weave grander power so the others, yet they didn't understand their power could become far too unstable for balance.
Soon an organization arose, calling themselves the Kassaj of The Sacred Flame. They were the first to defy the Mmirabe ancient peace pact, believing power was the only purity. Their annexation of Ousujan and ritual infiltration of Rubhiti marked the beginning of Council expansion.
Tsujan justifies their control through ancestral fire right—claiming their flame is the oldest and most “divine.”
