Lore

Under Kiria

Prior to the Silence, the region now known as Lan Kir was part of the Commandery of Zaikiria in vassalage to the  Vermilion Dynasty of Kiria. Lan Kir's location on the periphery of the Vermilion Realm meant that it was one of the few places that saw regular combat between Kirin and Zebra. What should have been a sleepy frontier, therefore, instead became an important as well as prestigious military outpost despite lacking economic or political value. Owing to the incessant skirmishes erupting along the conflict-prone border, the Banners dispatched to defend Lan Kir's borders were viewed as among the most capable in Kiria, and the Banners of the Zaikirian Commandery rotated regularly through the region in order to benefit from the abundance of fighting and valuable combat experience to be had.

Collapse & Summer Storm's Mutiny

At the onset of the Silence, the Commandery of Zaikiria became a refuge for Kirin refusing to subject themselves to a slow death by primitive retrogression. As a multitude of petty regional secessionists took advantage of Vermilion's dysfunction to rise up in open rebellion against the Commandery, the Banners of Zaikiria, themselves riven by fratricidal infighting over the imposition of the Silence, failed to restore order, and the entire region exploded into violence. In the end, the Zaikirian Banners, marooned at their postings and isolated from Vermilion, were defeated by the wave of local insurgencies in the wake of Kiria's collapse. Of their shattered remnants, some managed to retreat to the forests of the Zaikirian frontier, where the once-proud Banners of Zaikiria attempted to regroup for a counterattack into Zaikiria. Yet no aid was forthcoming from Kiria, where the Silence had already taken hold of the Realm. The last orders from Vermilion, dispatched via dragonfire candle, censured the failure of the Zaikirian Banners to maintain control over the Commandery, and ordered them return to Kiria and submit to the Silence.

The message caused great dismay among the soldiers, many of whom had fought for years to keep the frontiers of Kiria safe. Vermilion's brusque dismissal of their service caused much bitterness and anger among the ranks — a tide of rage and fury which saw the remnants of the Banners fall apart in a wave of desertions, banditry, and nirik transformations. The crisis culminated with a proclamation by Imperial Commissioner Summer Storm — formerly the Governor of Blossom — that the Zaikirian Banners, mutinous, would no longer obey the dictates of Vermilion. The achievements of the Twenty Banners were nothing to be cast aside so lightly, and instead, he vowed to let their strength and fury be given its due reward. If Kiria would not help them restore order, then they would do so themselves. This proclamation would uplift morale amongst the ranks, and restore a semblance of order and discipline, setting the stage for the founding of the State of Lan Kir with Summer Storm as its first General of State.

Under Long Dusk

For twenty years, Lan Kir and its native kirin were ruled under a de-facto military occupation by the Twenty Banners, but in the end, starvation, attrition, and the solidification of independent successor states in  Sen Kinh and  Khamrin meant that the restoration of the Zaikirian Commandery became nigh-on-impossible. After the death of Summer Storm in a raid against a  Zeblu farmstead, with the Lan Kir Banners facing yet another crisis of leadership, Long Dusk — the daughter of Summer Storm — rallied the remaining Bannerkirin against the looming fate of a slow and humiliating demise in exile, and succeeded her father as Lan Kir's second General of State. Under her guidance, Lan Kir underwent a reformation from a territory under military occupation to something approaching a semi-modern nation-state, ruled over by a stratocratic government premised upon the structures of the Banner System. A rough and militaristic democracy emerged within the Banners, where decisions on matters of significance were determined by a system of voting in which the number of votes castable by an individual Bannerkirin increased with the seniority of their military rank. Over the years, the functions of the military dictatorship were progressively delegated to bureaucratic institutions, and Lan Kir's natives were incorporated into the Banners as auxiliaries and soldiers — the latter category being eligible for full induction into the Banner System. With a secure route to Bannerkirin status in place, a slow but steady demographic shift took place over the course of Long Dusk's reign, where the descendants of the original Bannerkirin and the natives of Lan Kir slowly became one — a people united in their service to a heavily militarized state unlike any seen in Kirin history.

Present Day

A hundred years after the Silence and the establishment of the State of Lan Kir, the state stands before a precipice, with rumours of the end of the Silence in Kiria rumbling throughout Zaikiria. Lan Kir also faces a demographic crisis, brought about by a population boom in the past decades. With arable farmland scarce in the densely-forested region and without the technology, industry, or trade to make up for an increasing deficit in food, the State is forced to rely on raids against neighbouring countries to provide for the ever growing number of newborn Bannerkirin to feed. A growing number of commanders in the Banners are beginning to express pro-Kirian sympathies, with some wanting to reunite with the old homeland, whilst others call for the reconquest of Zaikiria in the name of Matriarch Superior Rain Shine, the spiritual leader of all kirin. Long Dusk has grown old and infirm, and whoever succeeds her as General of State will determine the future of Lan Kir in this turbulent new millennium.
