History
The Yumato Imperium, a nation steeped in history and tradition, traces its origins to the descovery of the New World of Kanahulu when it emerged as a distinct entity on the world stage. Influenced by the indigenous cultures of the region and neighboring powers, the Yumato Imperium established itself as a formidable presence.

The Capital of the Dominion, Ninjago was established as the first city of the Yumato Imperium, a testament to the early vision of the Emperor and the Imperial Council. Its strategic location, nestled between lush landscapes and serene waters, made it an ideal hub for trade and governance. The city quickly grew in importance, serving as a center of culture, politics, and commerce. The first year of the Yumato Imperium's foundation was marked by a multitude of challenges that tested the resolve and resilience of the nation's early inhabitants. These difficulties arose from various factors.

Building a new nation from scratch was a daunting task. The settlers had to construct the basic infrastructure, including homes, roads, and essential utilities. This required an immense amount of effort and resources. The early settlers faced scarcity of vital resources, such as food, ores, and building materials. Securing these necessities was a daily struggle, as the land had to be cultivated and the environment adapted to sustain the a rapidly growing population.

The Yumato Imperium was made by several tribes with their own diverse culture. Integrating these different traditions, languages, and customs into a cohesive society was a significant challenge, often leading to misunderstandings and conflicts. The nation was still in its formative stages, and the establishment of a functional government was a complex task. Determining the roles of leaders, defining the legal framework, and ensuring the consent of the governed was a demanding process.

The Yumato Imperium's location placed it in proximity to other power centers and potential adversaries. Dealing with external threats and ensuring the nation's security was a constant concern in these early years. Developing a self-sustaining economy took time. The Yumato Imperium needed to establish trade relationships, promote industry, and stimulate economic growth, all while overcoming the economic challenges of a fledgling nation. None the less, The Yumato Imperium managed to move on to become an influencial and dominant power in their region.

In the deep history of the Yumato Imperium, the deity Kirasilu, known as the "Crimson God of Battle," occupies a unique and revered place. This god's influence has left an indelible mark on the nation's culture and past, especially in times of conflict.

It all started when one day, in the prosperous and bustling city of Ninjago, a player by the name of Fake4 was building a new Military HQ for the Empire, when suddenly, lightning started to pour next to him. This was a sign from Kirasilu in order to get his attention towards a big hole in wich he placed 3 mysterious artifacts. A legendary sword crafted from the teeth of Kirasilu that symbolizes strength, bravery, and power. A shield represents defense, protection, and a safeguard against harm. It symbolizes the idea of being a protector or a guardian. And a golden apple, brought from the heavens symbolizes knowledge, temptation, and fruitfulness. Shortly after, Kirasilu started pouring lava in the hole, filling it up. Once done, Kirasilu summoned lighting once again telling the brave soldier "With the sword, shield and god apple, I grant you the courage to face your foes, I am the guardian of warriors, the keeper of valor. In bloodshed, find your purpose. May your battles be just, your shield unbreakable, and your sword ever sharp." Kirasilu was believed to have arisen in the crucible of ancient battles, emerging as the embodiment of martial prowess and the unrelenting nature of warfare. The Yumato Imperium's early years were marked by territorial struggles and disputes, and Kirasilu's name became synonymous with the courage and strength needed for victory.

Worship of Kirasilu began during these tumultuous times, with devotees seeking the deity's blessings for triumph in battle, protection on the battlefield, and the unwavering determination to overcome adversaries.

Temples and shrines dedicated to the Crimson God of Battle proliferated, and elaborate rituals were conducted to pay homage to Kirasilu. One important ritual was sacrificing in the same lava pool the heads of the slayn enemies in battles. This rewarded the warriors with various gifts such as fertility, luck or economic prosperity.

While Kirasilu was associated with the bloodshed and brutality of war, it also symbolized the nation's commitment to protecting its people, preserving honor on the battlefield, and upholding the values of valor and discipline.
