Be taken care of in the time of need by the best of the best, Trauma Team!

Silver Package

This plan costs either $500 per month, or $5,550 with a yearly plan discount.

In the event that a Trauma Team is dispatched, the customer/patient also has to pay E$100 for every minute until arrival at the nearest corporate hospital. Finally, the customer/patient also has to pay for the cost of all ammunition that the Trauma Team fired, all of the fuel that was used, and has to pay for any equipment or personnel damage.

If members do not wish to pay extra for hospital treatments, the Trauma Team will do everything in their paramedical abilities before dropping the member off at a hospital.

If the Trauma Team is not able to reach the customer within 10 minutes, the customer/patient receives 50% off the cost of spent ammunition.

Following Recent Laws in Hexsea, the price of medical bills has gone down a lot now and this has put the medical insurance industry at risk, mainly because the hospitals can't make the bills any cheaper.

Indigenous peoples have inhabited the Americas for thousands of years. Beginning in 1607, British colonization led to the establishment of the Thirteen Colonies in what is now the Eastern United States. They clashed with the British Crown over taxation and political representation, which led to the American Revolution and the ensuing Revolutionary War. The United States declared independence on July 4, 1776, becoming the first constitutional monarchy founded on Enlightenment principles of unalienable natural rights, consent of the governed, and democracy. The country began expanding across North America, fighting numerous wars of expansion against Canada and indigenous tribes, eventually spanning the whole continent by 1848. Sectional division over slavery led to the secession of the Confederate States of America, which fought the remaining states of the Union during the American Civil War (1861–1865). With the Union's victory and preservation, slavery was abolished nationally by Emperor Abraham. By 1900, the United States had established itself as a great power, becoming the world's largest economy. After Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor in 1941, the U.S. entered World War II on the side of the Allies. The aftermath of the war left the United States and the Soviet Union as the world's two superpowers and led to the Cold War, during which both countries engaged in a struggle for ideological dominance but avoided direct military conflict. They also competed in the Space Race, which culminated in the 1969 landing of Apollo 11, making the U.S. the only nation to land humans on the Moon. With the Soviet Union's collapse and the subsequent end of the Cold War in 1991, the United States emerged as the world's sole superpower.

The United States government is a federal republic and a representative democracy with three separate branches of government: executive, legislative, and judicial. It has a bicameral national legislature composed of the House of Representatives, a lower house based on population, and the Senate, an upper house based on equal representation for each state. Many policy issues are decentralized at a state or local level, with widely differing laws by jurisdiction. The U.S. ranks highly in international measures of quality of life, income and wealth, economic competitiveness, human rights, innovation, and education; it has low levels of perceived corruption. It has higher levels of incarceration and inequality than most other liberal democracies and is the only liberal democracy with affordable universal healthcare.

Highly developed, the U.S. has the greatest disposable income per capita and by far the largest amount of wealth of any country. The American economy accounts for approximately a quarter of global GDP and is the world's largest by nominal GDP. The U.S. is the world's largest importer and second-largest exporter, as well as the largest consumer market. It is a founding member of the United Nations, the World Bank, the International Monetary Fund, the Organization of American States, NATO, and is a permanent member of the United Nations Security Council. It wields considerable global influence as the world's foremost political, cultural, economic, military, and scientific power.

Historical Periods of Japamwenia



Japamwenian Calendar

The currently used calendar in Japamwenia is broken into two eras, Before Unification (BU) and Post-Unification (PU). The eras in Japamwenian history will be defined in relation to that calendar.

Pre-History (550 BU and earlier)

Pre-historic Japamwenia had various, smaller gatherer cultures of the different Wenian ethnic groups with a considerable degree of sedentism. Beginning around 1,000 BU, more widespread rice cultivation and metallurgy gave rise to the development of commonly used tools. The earliest tools were found amongst the northernmost regions of modern Japamwenia (Paran) which was dominated by the Vivipara and date back to around 1,100 BU.

With rice cultivation and better tools, centers of community developed around larger rice farms with those who owned larger tracts of land becoming the most powerful in the area. Serving as feudal lords or daimyos, these wealthier Wenians were responsible for those working on their larger farms. In the the majority of what is now modern Japamwenia, smaller clans united to eventually merge into small, clan-centric feudal kingdoms. These smaller kingdoms rose and fell seemingly at random with no specific event tied to the change. However, there were minimal armed conflicts during this timeframe as these smaller kingdoms while growing outward, still remained fairly sedentary.

Archeological evidence suggests that during this period, the southern regions of Japamwenia were entirely uninhabited by sapients.


Early Rise of Yamada (Felineko) Clan (550-400 BU)

Around 550 BU in central Japamwenia near the modern capital of Toko, the Yamada clan (Felineko) began the process of expanding outward. They had previously grown strong as a clan, had access to more advanced weaponry (the earliest katanas, bows, and the earliest recorded crossbows came from the Yamada clan). Additionally, the Yamada clan had built large, stone walls to fortify their communities with a primary castle where the Daiymo, Yamada Chi, resided.

Warriors of the Yamada clan were well trained by the Daiymo and his family. Yamada Chi personally led warriors into battle as they seized the land from the neighboring Satou clan (Felineko). Forcing their leaders to sign treaties handing the land over to the Yamada, over the next five years the Yamada and smaller Satou clan merged and built new walled structures to protect the combined territory. This process continued over the next 30 years as the Yamada took the land of all the Felineko within a 50 kilometer radius. The central city of Chi, named for Daiymo Yamada Chi, served as the capital and center of Yamada culture. Daiymo Yamada Chi declared themselves the first Shogun and set local administrators in charge of the newly forming local municipalities within their Shogunate. By allowing historical leadership of the clans the Yamada had defeated into positions of local authority, the Shogun was able to consolidate power with minimal pushback from the citizens. The Yamada are considered by some historians as the first official nation states within the footprint of modern Japamwenia.

After his death in 524 BU, Yamada Chi's son, Yamada Poyo inherited the role as Shogun. The Yamada Shogunate remained at relative peace following the initial 30 years of war and expansion until around 400 BU.


Kurenai Alliance (450-400 BU)

Around 480 BU and concurrently to the rise of the Yamada clans, the Kurenai (Canis) clan led by Kurenai Akamaru maintained a large number of rice farms. They had also raised up amongst their midst a number of warriors who protected the farms from traveling raiders, which had become common in Canis dominated territory. Kurenai Akamaru decided that the raiding needed to end, so contacted two smaller, neighboring clans and invited them to his home. As tradition tells it, Kurenai Akamaru convinced the leaders of both clans (Hayate and Yozakura) with such a rich, extravagant meal to join under him with a singular, united front. Immediately, the three clans, unified under the Kurenai name, built a fortified stone wall around their three territories. Additionally, warriors from all three clans would serve as guards at the gates to each of the walls. Over the next 15 years, five other Canis clans joined into the Kurenai alliance willingly with Kurenai Akamaru serving as the leader of this unified alliance. The Kurenai alliance had Kurenai Akamaru at the head, but a council of the leaders representing the six additional clans. The High Council, as it was called, made decisions for the entire allied territory. However, Kurenai Akamaru had an additional vote on the High Council and as the most powerful leader, could veto the council's decisions.

By 400 BU, the Kurenai Alliance had a national identity as united Canis and were beginning to look beyond their borders.

In 399 BU, Kurenai alchemists developed a compound that could create large explosions when set on fire. They referred to it "fire powder," but it would become the predecessor to modern-day gunpowder. Within 10 years of its creation, the Kurenai had developed fire powder launchers which were single use devices to propel darts at a target.


Early Amami History (500-400 BU)

There is historical evidence that initially there were 10 primary Amami clans (Daigo, Fukakusa, Kazan, Sakai, Montoku, Seiwa, Taira, Abe, Ochi, and Soga) all of whom were raiders and warriors. While rice farming had grown widespread among the Amami, warrior culture still dominated. Various clans led expeditions to raid both their enemy clans and Canis communities to the east. This led to 50 years of warfare among the Amami people from 500 to 450 BU. However, the wars between the clans ended when the Sakai Clan dominated the others and forced surrender. Their leader, Sakai Miyamoto, declared themselves the Shogun of all Amami. To prevent future wars, Sakai Miyamoto forced clan leaders to pledge fealty to him. Those who did not, were killed and loyal replacements were put in their place. Additionally, the Shogun sent groups of Amami warriors into territory controlled by the Canis and Felineko. The Amami warriors would offer to serve the Felineko and Canis leaders temporarily in exchange for food and wealth. The Amami warriors for hire would then return back with an annual pilgrimage to Sakai Castle. The leadership of the Sakai clan then distributed the wealth among the Amami people.

During this period from 450 to 400 BU, Amami warriors generated massive stores of wealth the Amami as warriors for hire, or ronin, among the Canis and Felineko. This exchange of goods also created a cultural exchange between the Canis / Amami and the Felineko / Amami seeing an slow, but eventual loss of Amami religious identity and the acceptance of the Tishwen faith as the dominant religion of the Amami.


Early Vivipara Unification (520-480 BU)

The northern region of modern Japamwenia is divided from its centralized counterparts by heavy forests, the Kitakami River, and the Koshamain mountain range. Early Vivipara history saw various clans arise in feudal territories surrounding larger rice farms. However, these early territories remained relatively sedentary for longer than their southern, Wenian counterparts. Around 520 BU, the head of the centrally located Koshamain clan, Koshamain Zaryusu, reached out to the surrounding clans. In a move parallel to the Kurenai Alliance of the Canis people, the Koshamain clan leader offered protection to the local clans if they pledged fealty to the Koshamain leadership. After accepting the protection, the first order of business was to unite all of the Vivipara clans. This began a 20 year war where the Kohamain and their allies seized the land of the neighboring tribes. Some came peacefully, others did not. By 500 BU, Koshamain Zaryusu declared themselves Emperor of the Vivipara claiming that it was the will of the Vivipara creator god Nanuq that he should rule. Following the 20 years of war, there was 20 years of relative peace among the Vivipara as the clans developed a united, Vivipara identity centered around the capital city of Zaryu.

Around 480 BU, the first Vivipara expedition beyond to explore lands south of Koshamain mountains began.


Early Vivipara - Felineko Interactions (480-400 BU)

In around 480 BU, an expedition of Vivipara led by Kuzuno Repti crossed over the Kitakami River and wandered into a small farming community led by the Oda (Felineko) clan. Both the Vivipara to the north and Oda Clan to the south had been using very similar irrigation styles from tributaries off the Kitakami River. The Oda Clan had been far enough north that they had avoided absorption into the Yamada territory.

Kuzuno Repti met with the leader of the Oda Clan, Oda Maru, and the two spoke about potential trade between the Vivipara and the Oda clan. Over the next five years, the Oda Clan and Vivipara established a close connection. Trade opened and by 460, the first bridge was built across the Kitakami River wide enough for wagons trains to cross.

As these two became allied through trade, the Vivipara remained a secret to the Yamada. The Oda Clan, however, knew of the Yamada and their large territory. There was trade in the south between the Oda Clan and the Yamada. As the Oda Clan were known throughout the region as strong warriors, the Yamada had left them be after some minor border skirmishes early in the Yamada's expansion. The Yamada border wall ended about 20 kilometers south of the known territory, at the time, of the Oda Clan. Other smaller clans in the area remained disconnected from the Yamada due to Yamada fear of Oda warriors; this led to additional trade opportunities for these clans to interact with the Vivipara with the Oda Clan serving as a centralized trade hub.


Yamada-Kurenai Conflict (400-390 BU)

In 400 BU, a group of Yamada warriors encountered a small band of Kurenai warriors near their border wall. Historical evidence is unclear from there who struck first, but the situation ended with 10 dead Yamada warriors and 15 dead Kurenai soilders. Evidence still is not clear as surviving documents from both the Yamada and Kurenai conflict, each claiming the other struck first leading to the carnage that followed. Regardless of who struck first, it is clear that the survivors returned to their local leaders to inform them of the conflict.

Over the next 5 years, what began as border skirmishes between Kurenai and Yamada forced, transformed into full scale war between the two. Using a combination of brute force and their fire powder launchers, the Kurenai initially pushed well into Yamada territory, claiming land as they went along and burning crops. However, after a full year of success, the Yamada pushed back at the Battle of Konko where three major Kurenai leaders were killed and a collection of fire powder launchers were obtained.

With both sides having fire powder launchers, the conflict switched back and forth dramatically for the next 4 years with pushes deep into each other's territory and push back. Amami warriors began as hired hands from both sides, but within a few years had returned to their homeland unwilling to die for a war they did not wish to participate in.

After a full 10 years of conflict, in 390 BU, both nations had been ravaged by war with crops, cities, and walls destroyed. The armies of each returned home, no longer willing to support their leadership. Effectively, both nation states collapsed and there was a return to traditional feudalism with new local leaders rising up after building new rice farming communities. Life became more sedentary once more in the former Yamada and Kurenai area.


Oda Rising (380-370 BU)

To the north, in 380 BU Oda Kuro became the leader of the Oda clan (Felineko). Oda Kuro began by immediately summoning the leadership of the Vivipara to meet and reaffirm their relationship. The initial meeting was successful and the two regions formed an official alliance. Vivipara warriors would serve alongside Oda warriors to expand Oda territory to the south and west. In exchange, a percentage of the spoils of war would be returned to the Vivipara Empire.

The Oda sent armed convoys of warriors with emissaries to the five major clans due south of them including to the Sakai (Amami) to the south west. Their goal was to convince them to join the Oda peacefully to avoid conflict. The four Felineko clans immediately surrendered offering fealty to the more powerful Oda clan. The Sakai did not.

A collection of warriors from the Oda clan, its new subservient clans, and the Vivipara invaded Sakai territory sweeping through and destroying every village and farm along the way. The Sakai were forced to surrender after four years of utter devastation.

After 10 years of conflict, the Oda had increased their territory 10 fold, absorbing the land of 10 Felineko clans and the entire region initially dominated by the Amami. The entire Sakai leadership were murdered by the Oda. Using the surviving leaders of the historic Abe clan (Amami) as a puppet regime, the Oda effectively controlled the entire territory. Those who could fight among the Amami were put to work and joined the Vivipara and Oda (Felineko) soldiers as the Oda clan looked west.

With 5 more years of conflict, the Oda clan controlled the entire historic Yamada territory, Amami territory, and everything north up to the Kitakami River. Soldiers of all Wenian cultures except Canis were working side by side as part of the Oda clan's army.

With this territory dominated, Oda Kuro rebuilt the centralized city of Chi, renamed it Toko, and established it as the as the new capital of the Oda.

Vivipara leadership had been receiving funds per their agreement for years, but had begun to become nervous about Oda Kuro's plans for the Oda Clan and them.


Oda's Canis Invasion (370-350 BU)

Following the establishment of Toko, Oda Kuro's eldest son Oda Ieyasu began to lead warriors south into historic Canis territory. Similar to their initial foray into the Felienko territories formerly occupied by the Yamada, a collection of multi-ethnic warriors of Amami, Felineko, and Vivipara descent were sent along with ambassadors requesting peaceful transition into Oda territory. Many small Canis feudal lords complied and joined forces willingly. However, when they reached to the initial territory of the Kurenai, they received immediate pushback.

Over two years, Oda Kuro personally led an invasion into the historic territory of the Kurenai and decimated the land. Two years of conflict led to a complete surrender of the Kurenai clan and most of the smaller surrounding clans. However, their warriors stopped at the the Agano River to the south. While they knew former Kurenai territory existed to the south, the initial war between the Kurenai and the Yamada had destroyed all bridges between the two regions and, therefore, crossing was dangerous.

Following full unification from the Agano to the Kitakami, Oda Kuro declared himself the first Emperor of the Japamwen. Japamwen was the name Oda Kuro gave to the region which, in the Felineko dialect, meant united Wen.


Unification of the Southern Canis (380-350)

In 380 BU, years after the fall of the Kurenai, the small Tokurufga (Canis) clan to the south re-emerged as a regional power. They took the territory of the three smaller clans immediately surrounding them. They then reached out and offered protection to additional clans. Over the next 20 years, all Canis clans south of the Agano River became united as part of the Tokurufga Shogunate under Shogun Tokurufga Chikuwa. Following unification, there was relative peace among the Tokurufga Shogunate.

Peaceful Period (350-50 BU)

For 300 years, there was a Peaceful Period with no war. There were, effectively, three nations at peace with each other - the Japamwen Empire, Vivipara Empire, and Tokurufga Shogunate. The Tokurufga remained south of the Agano River and the Oda remained to the north.

Additionally, over this 300 year period, there was some technological advancement especially within Japamwen. This included the development of indoor plumbing; gunpowder and firearms; and the earliest forms of electricity.

In the far north, the Vivipara Empire remained within its territory. However, with free movement between the Vivipara and Japamwen Empire, younger Vivipara living among the Felineko and Amami to the south brought a slow, cultural shift. While living among the other Wenian groups to the south, they felt a dual allegiance - to the Vivipara Empire and to the Japamwen Empire.


Emperor Shibō and the Empire of Japamwen (50 BU)

In 150 BU, Emperor Oda Meiji died and his son, the hairless Felineko warrior Oda Mutsuhito was crowned the new Emperor of Japamwen. Taking the name Shibō, the Emperor made a sweeping decree within weeks of assuming the throne. First, he claimed he and his family were directly descended from the Tishwen creator deity Sureeb; that his lack of hair showed that he was the deity reborn among the Wenians, and that he was the true Emperor of all Wenians. In saying so, the Emperor made clear that this included the Vivipara to the north and the Tokurufga Shogunate to the south.

Prior to his ascension to the throne, Emperor Shibō had served in the military and spent much time traveling between the Vivipara and Japamwen Empires. He had gained a cult following among the youth in Vivipara as a hairless Felineko and charismatic leader who believed in equality among all Wenians, united in purpose and a fully united group. His speech was seen by the Emperor Chiri of the Vivipara as a declaration of war. He called all Vivipara people to return to their homeland to defend it from invaders. However, this immediately failed.

What Emperor Chiri did not know was that among the small, remaining Vivipara warrior class was a growing allegiance to the Japamwen Empire and, specifically, to Emperor Shibō. Vivipara warriors marched to Koshamain Castle, removed the Emperor from his post, and declared that all historic Vivipara land was under the full rule of the Japamwen Empire. The Emperor of the Vivipara refused to pledge loyalty to Emperor Shibō, so was imprisoned.

Emperor Shibō then looked south to the Canis beyond the Agano River.


Japamwen Naval Advancement (50-45 BU)

Over the next five years, Emperor Shibō invested heavily in developing new, naval technology and weapons with the intent of crossing the Agano River. Firepowder weaponry advanced to become more potent, usable firearms. Wind and steam powered vessels were developed which allowed larger numbers of people to cross the Agano River by 46 BU. Agano-to became the first southern Japamwen colony. Agano-to was primarily comprised of warriors and their immediate families. Over the next year, the citizens of Agano-to worked with Japamwen engineers on the northern side of the river to build connecting bridge (Shibō Bridge named for the Emperor).

Following the establishment of the bridge, further Japamwen troops advanced south. Additional colonies were established and within a year there were various Japamwen towns and cities across the entire river basin from east to west with farming and warrior training throughout.


Japamwen Advances (45-40 BU)

In 45 BU, Emperor Shibō traveled south of the Agano and personally began leading soldiers into the territory occupied by the Tokurufga Shogunate. Shogun Tokurufga Hin directed his warriors to approach cautiously to the multi-ethnic Wenian army that approached, but were easily defeated in battle after battle.

As the Japamwen troops pushed further south, instead of destroying local communities, they had loyal Canis warriors from the Japamwen military convince the locals for safe passage. For the next five years there were skirmishes between Shogunate warriors and the Japamwen warriors; however, the superior firepower of the Japamwen soldiers put them at a distinct advantage leading to further and further loss of land. By 40 BU, most of the Tokurufga Shogunate had been subsumed into Japamwen proper and the 10 kilometer diameter territory of the remaining Tokurufga Shogunate was centered around Shogun Tokurufga Shin's castle.


Assassination of Emperor Shibō (39 BU)

In 39 BU, Emperor Shibō had returned back to the Capital of Toko. He returned victoriously and led soldiers in a very raucus parade, with Tokurufga soldiers being also paraded around as prisoners of war. Suddenly in the middle of the parade, gunshots were heard. A former Vivipara soldier (Sohma Boa) who had remained loyal to the Emperor had charged into the parade and shot the Emperor as well as two of his bodyguards. Additional soldiers surrounded Sohma Boa and slaughtered him. Following a two day mourning period, Emperor Shibō's son (Oda Kirara) ascended to the throne. Following the trend of his father, Oda Kirara took the Imperial name of Annei. His first order of business was to have the imprisoned Emperor of the Vivipara executed publicly. In a public speech the next day, Emperor Annei promised to continue his father's invasion of the south in order to fulfil his father's wish of unification of the Wenians.

Sword of Chiri Raids (39-38 BU)

In 39 BU, various Japamwen facilities in the north were raided by masked, Vivipara warriors. Each warrior wore a detailed mask that covered their face which had horns and the crest of Emperor Chiri across the face. After they left each location, papers were left behind in cryptic script which referred to the attackers as Chirites or the Sword of Chiri; this is a reference to the name of late Emperor of the Vivipara.

Stores of weapons and food were stolen over the course of two years. Generally, while no one was killed during these raids, guards were often left unconscious. The distraction of rooting out the Sword of Chiri led to a halting of the southern front of the war for unification.


Black Flame Emperor and a Two Front War (38-28 BU)

In 38 BU, in a northern Vivipara village of Furano, a group of warriors all wearing the Sword of Chiri masks took control of the community and executed Japamwen soldiers who refused to surrender. Their leader was an unmasked, solid black Vivipara warrior with a large scar over his right eye. He referred to himself as Kurohomura no Kōtei (Black Flame Emperor) and said he was the new Emperor of the Vivipara. Over the next three years, the Sword of Chiri working on behalf of Kurohomura no Kōtei recaptured most Vivipara villages north of the Kitakami River and drove back Japamwen warriors.

Upon reaching the Kitakami River in 35 BU, the Sword of Chiri began construction of a large castle complex called Sohma. The castle complex was named after the Japamwen Emperor's assassin, Sohma Boa. The complex took three years to build and Kurohomura no Kōtei personally moved into the castle upon its completion. Soldiers then raided all the bridges along the Kitakami River and burned them down. By 30 BU, all Japamwen soldiers north of the Kitakami River either surrendered or were imprisoned. Japamwen advancement had been stopped by the Black Flame Emperor at the bank of the Kitakami River.

Further, with Japamwen focused on a northern war effort, the Tokurufga Shogunate took back a good portion of its land such that the Japamwen forces were limited to a strip of colonies along the bank of the Agano River. The Empire of Japamwen had been pushed back to the bank of the Agano and certain colonies surrendered with predominantly Canis populations surrendered prior to invasion to expand the Tokurufga Shogunate. The only remaining Japamwen colonies south of the Agano were Agano-to and a handful of additional communities surrounding it. All other bridges were captures or burned by the Tokurufga Shogunate forces by 28 BU.


Twin Royals and a Successor (27 BU)

Emperor Annei had twins born in 49 BU when he was, then 20 years of age. The two were named Hina (the elder) and Tsukito (the younger).

Tsukito was a broad, solid male solid black Felineko. He too was a rapid learner and brute soldier on the field of battle. While shorter than his older twin sister, he was strong, capable, and well liked by his fellow warriors. His willingness to put himself in harm's way to protect his fellow warriors was not lost. He was a firm believer in the vision of his father, Emperor Annei, and believed all Wenians should be ruled the Japamwen banner by the Oda clan. He was a warrior's warrior and never failed to rally his troops.

Hina was a tall, lanky female calico Felineko who had a soft spot for the Vivipara. She was a fast learner and an incredible warrior on the field of battle, often leading entire regiments into battle personally. She was loved by the warriors she connected with and was often sent to meet with enemy leaders to establish temporary truces. She beleived that a unified Wenian people would benefit all, but did not believe that her family needed to be the sole leader of the people. Her beliefs put her at odds at times with her father and her brother, Tsukito.

In 27 BU, a huge ceremony was to take place in Toko with Emperor Annei and his twin royal children. While the reason was never given, the warriors and regional leaders from throughout Japamwen were called back to the capital to take part in this ceremony. After two days of feasting, the Emperor said an announcement was to be made; he had selected his successor. Neither Tsukito nor Hina had been told about the choices of succession, so nether knew which way their father would go. Both approached their father and Tsukito was selected to raucous applause.

Hina left quietly following the announcement. Unbeknownst to the Emperor and Tsukito, Hina had taken a Vivipara lover named Isonash, who was a former warrior of the Sword of Chiri. As Hina left with Isonash, the two hatched a plan, but needed to find like minded warriors and citizens to join their cause.


Hina's Rebellion (26-24 BU)

Following the selection of Tsukito as the heir apparent in Japamwen, Hina returned to the front lines on the northern front with her lover, Isonash, serving alongside her. Her warriors were fiercely loyal to Hina, many supporting her over the Emperor himself after years of serving alongside each other in battle.

Hina and her warriors entered a small Vivipara community near the Kitakami River. The community was considered a protectorate of the Sword of Chiri and the Black Flame Emperor, but her soldiers advanced anyway. The entered the town with no weapons drawn and called everyone to the town square. There, Hina shaved herself from top to bottom publicly. She said that the Vivipara, Canis, Amami, and Felineko were all Wenians by blood. They should be united, but not by the hand of forced servitude, but as siblings sharing in the blessings of their creators Sureeb and Nanuq. She then called for a truce between her warriors and the Sword of Chiri as her entire units all laid their weapons down. The local leader, a retired Vivipara warrior named Kanahebi, saw this and began a conversation with Hina. Within days, emissaries of the Black Flame Emperor had arrived and talks began. While the details are lost to history of the conversation, a written agreement was signed between emissaries of the Black Flame Emperor and Hina. The treaty was one of mutual defense as Hina would attempt to rally warriors from within the nation to her cause.

The plans laid out were four fold:

    1. Removal of the Emperor of Japamwen and his heir;
    2. Seizure of all undue wealth stolen by the Emperor to be redistributed to the people equally;
    3. Establishment of new governments with localized leaders; and
    4. Establish a new unified government with Toko as the center where representatives from all communities would come to make decisions impacting all Wenians together.

For Hina's part, she promised that if her revolution was a success, that Kurohomura no Kōtei could remain in power, so long as he had the retained the consent of the locals. She also promised that new, local governments organized by trade unions and local families would emerge following this revolt.

For the next two years, Hina, Isonash, and a loyal Canis warrior named Hachiko traversed the entirety of Japamwen under the guise of assisting and training new soldiers. The Emperor and Tsukito trusted Hina, so did not suspect a thing.

By 24 BU, there were soldiers in every corner of Japamwen loyal to Hina and her cause. To the south of the Agano, the Tokurufga Shogunate had signed onto the treaty agreeing to the proposal. While privately Canis leadership believed it would fail, they still signed on to formally support the movement.
