A vast, rich country. Tropical and balmy, this island nation sits comfortably off the coast of the main continent.

The East is a strict matriarchy, and is lead by The Empress. She is the most recent in the lineage of her family to take the throne, as the eldest daughter of her generation. All her sisters were killed when she ascended, and the rest of the royal family is built of her brothers, their wives and their children. Apart from her harem, built of members of noble houses, her partner is known as the Prince Consort, and is always the son of one of her Mother's brothers. He is the only one allowed to sire her children, all members of her harem are made infertile.
