History
Establishment
Historically following the Naciwas conquest of the Proto Salmurians and the rise of the modern Qibirad in order to create powerful and loyal regional lords, form early standing armies, as well as grant some minor cultural autonomy to the Proto Salmurian groups Idulula and Salmus established the Gujan System which would also form the basis of the 4 banners and in some form would last to the modern day. All of the Gujanas function relatively similarly with powerful merchant and martial families acting as a faux nobility as well as a Gujan Council dealing with political and civil matters within the Gujan's territory. Traditionally the succession of a Gujan's leadership was done to the eldest child this was never set in stone and would typically go to the most economically or martially talented individual or the one favored by the Ciwas. The military arm of the Gujan system, the four banners would historically been done by birth, people born in various regions with a family name of that region would be automatically mandated to join their Gujan's banner as a warrior or soldier. The martial aspect of the coastal Gujans would help the Salmurians fend off multiple invasions and raids throughout history and remained relatively unchanged until the 17th century.
