History

Prehistoric Yanbad

Historians and scholars refer to Prehistoric Yanbad as the era of The Five Sovereigns and Ten Emperors. Much isn’t known of this time period since there is a lack of primary sources written during the time period. Scholars throughout the subsequent dynasties had written about this time period and referenced them in their own documents. As a result all of the written accounts related to this era are questionable at best. Most of the knowledge from this time period was discovered via archaeological digs and studies of material culture. The leading consensus is that Prehistoric Yanbadis buried their dead with supplies for the afterlife. Items such as food, weapons, clothing, and pottery have been discovered in many ancient tombs.

Background on Different Dynastic Eras

One might assume that throughout the Imperial Era the various dynasties all rose and fell through violent means. While there are instances of a dynasty violently overthrowing another there are also examples of dynasties taking control through more peaceful means such as one family dying out.

Geography

Administrative divisions

Literature

One of the biggest book series in Yanbad is the Ballad of the Rivers which is a high fantasy series that was inspired by the Wars of the Rivers that were fought between Tay and Hong families. The books have spawned multiple spin-offs, video games, and even an award winning show! The television adaption of the series is named after the first book, A Frolic of Rivers.

A Frolic of Rivers - The first book in the main series shocked fantasy fans with the unexpected execution of the Li family patriarch Li Hed, by Zhang Jo. The execution ignited the conflict between the Zhang and Li families, thus dragging all of the powerful families of Yessos into a dynastic conflict for the Rama Throne.

Disharmony of Ramas - The second book continues the conflict between the Li and Zhang but expands the characters involved beyond the two major families. With multiple claimants as the “True Rama” war erupts throughout the kingdom, all while an ancient claimant to the throne gathers strength in the east, Tasa Dane.

Monsoon of Glaives - The third and final book details the climactic battle between the Li and Zhang. One of the main characters Li Jen who is thought to be an illegitimate bastard of Li Hed is revealed to be the actual heir to the Rama Throne since he is the eldest living male heir of the Tasa family.
