Nimizu

Ruled by Queen Tacita Nymphodora. Nimizu is a sparsely populated kingdom, dominated by uninhabitable cliffs and thinly pinched by the waters of the ocean and Soramizu, the sky lake. The old traditions thrive here, the scattered monasteries dedicated to the arts, philosophy, combat, and sport that are found all across the mountains are especially prominent, often serving as the centerpieces to the small towns that serve as the closest thing Nimizu has to urban centers. Queen Nymphodora is Nimizu's icon, a proven warrior, charismatic, young, good-natured, gregarious, a master of athletics, and humble enough to admit her lack of talent for books and philosophy with a laugh; she is the total opposite of her sister. Nimizu is currently in a rather dangerous place, engaged in a war with the Shimaya Shogunate and near war with Nangai. Nimizu has thus far been polite but unresponsive to Veselin's attempts at diplomacy due to occupation with their war, demanding he either show his commitment by fielding his few forces to their aid or expect nothing of them. Euthalia is the capital of Nimizu, a fortress city atop a great mountain.
