Enlightend City States

Long ago, shortly after the blood war had ravaged the world, a lone veteran wondered away to start a place of quiet meditation. With him he took the various students that had gathered to learn the monastic secrets given to him by the pure elves. Soon others like him, came searching for a quite place to live. Seven in total each with their own style and beliefs. After a while farmers and other settlers began showing up, looking to the wisdom of these monastaries, but unwilling to conform to the monastic life they lead, these communities grew and became their own kingdoms. At some point the rulers of each of these minor kingdoms came together to discuss the common good. This tradition has lasted to this day the independant Shogunates sending representatives to discuss what will become of the lands in the world theater.
