Khonzhou 01.jpg

Khonzhou is intended to be a multicultural asian city that borrows heavily from Mongolia and Northern China. Further fantasy elements have been gleemed from The Dothraki, The Last Airbender, and the Empire Series by Raymond Feist.

(Asian - mongolian, snow, high temples, white tigers (Asian tea house in the gardens), northern china, steppe, Jin dynasty blended with mongols became the dominant city state, a multi cultural asian city state. Kochi, Sami and Massai.)

Khonzhou lies in the northeastern corner of the Essealas continent. The city is an architectural marvel, which like most of the northern cities, covers most of the mountainside. Below the city is a bustling sea port and lower villages. The steppes lie between the dark pine forests of Halberg and the murky woods of Fendahl.

The Jurchen follow a spiritual path known as the five ways or the five paths. This path blends their Hunnic pantheon with a more recent philosophy. The synthesis is an elegant and complex practice which tie the five elements to medicine, philosophy, divination and daily life. The five elements are earth, fire, wood, water and metal.

Toghtoga is the red god of war and the underworld. He is associated with metal. Samga is the goddes of fire associated with the sun, change, and chaos. Ebegei is the earth mother who brings the harvests and is known as the sleeper without dreams. Batukhan is the god wood and the protector of the sky. Dagasi is the moon goddess who rules over water, soft changes, healing an unity.

All five gods are worshiped equally but also based on the concept of generating and reducing; one might for example pray to the earth god to keep war from forming, pray to the metal god for success in war, and the god of water to end war.
