History: The T'ang were once one of the most feared of all Northern peoples, Made up of Humans and anthropomorphic wolves and tigers, they were deadly horsemen who lived in the northern Coasts, raiding smaller tribes of nomads and city-states. Named after their war-god, T'angu, they were feared for their war-like ways and their main forces, Horse Archers. The other Nomads also feared the long spears that The T'ang used for stopping Calvary Charges.
Many Orcs and Gobblns were forced to join the T'ang out of fear of the deadly nomadic warriors. later, The Kalian Confederacy, a alliance of seven Dwarfen City States, fell to The T'ang, with the Dwarfs forced to join The T'ang.
Just as The slaves were rebeling in The High Elven Empire, a T'ang Khan-Shogun became feared in the Western parts of the land: Dankyu Canthex, a Dwarf warrior, his rule marked a Reign of Terror and Blood. His Armies soon Crossed The Mountians and came on a land the The Northwest, known as The Land of The Nine Rivers, This land was to be taken by the T'ang Invaders. Burning Cities, Fields, Houses, Temples, even Elves. The T'ang Captured The Land, but not without a loss of life and the death of Canthex. His Apopted Son, The Wolf-man known as Dankyu Ganzyu, took over, and started The Empire. Taking much of the North West, their Nation is now looking at the Islands of The Far West and The eastern kingdoms as idea places for conquest.
Society:
The T'ang are a Society of Warriors. even through they have started Rice Farming, they are still more like their Nomadic Ancestors. In fact, Horse-raiseing is what the T'ang do best.
After Their take over, the T'ang started being for Civilized, and Cultured. Building their own Cities, here, Poet-Warriors came, Their Poems are the best in the empire, as they talk of battles, gods, heroes and love.
Art is on the rise as Statues, paintings and other works of art have appeared more in the T'ang Cities. Zen Gardens are the largest art in the empire, as well as The Temples and Palaces in the cities.
Government:
While Their is a God-Emperor, He is no ruler, but a Priest of T'angu. The Real ruler is The Khan-Shogun or Crown Prince. The Dankyu Dynasty has ruled the empire for over 100 years now and have total control. City Goverments are run by Barons and Counts.
Military:
The Main Part of The Army are known as Samurai, who are Mounted Archers and deadly Swordsmen. They are on the fountlines of battle, along with The deadly Dwarfen Knights, who charge against enemy knights.
But It is The Horse Archers, who can fire Arrows against enemy troops that are even more deadly. They can ride around enemy units, trapping them and firing arrows into the trapped warriors.
Dwarfen Axe-Men attack enemies on horseback by hitting The Legs. Gobbln and Dwarf Archers can slow down The enemy with ease.
Camels are used to carry supplies or as war beasts to scare horses, But for scarring enemy troops, The Large Bandankyumon (a Giant Elephant-like Animal) can spread terror. Sword Blades are put into The Tusks of the beast to make them deadly, while 30 Archers are on a tower to fire down on enemy warriors. Heavy Armored War Rhinos can cause Chaos in enemy ranks
Spearmen are the horse-killers of The T'ang, as they are in Phalanx Formation and can stand still, with their 20 foot long spears for killing enemy Horses.
Other Infantry, such as Swordsmen, Axemen and others are mainly Used in flanking attacks of other infantry. Peasents are drafted to carry Supplies and as light infantry, they can take the armor and weapons of dead enemies as their own.
In Tactics of Siege, Towers and Ladders are used, along with Traction Trebuchets and Giant Crossbows. But The Dwarfs have one tactic.....Digging under the walls of a Castle or City, planting Gun-Power Bombs then lighting them and letting them blow up.
OOC: Gun-Power can be used by Dwarfs right?
