Ghosts haunt Aylathiya; from beyond the grave they interfere with its happenings. Bent on dragging it into the past, into the days in which these ghosts could be considered living. These ghosts have the most power in the Stargraviate of Tianshi, keeping their traditions, culture, and language on life support as the universe changes around them. Tianshi is a proud country, humbled as the rest of Eos industrialized but never stopping to admit it.

Despite boasts of "ancient aristocratic heritage," large conglomerates wear the ceremonial robes passed down through generations. Some can trace their roots back over five thousand years, while others hardly existed even last century. Not only does this create a viscous hierarchy within the country, but Tianshi enforces its ideas of nobility outside of its borders. Despite its small size, the very idea of "noble blood" seems to be how closely one is related to House Tange. Tianshi's influence in the Greater Martial Consilium, the international congress, ensures even far larger nations are inherently low rank.

The Duchy of Tenshi was the political center of Martial Space until Jezebel's War when power shifted drastically toward Enyo. As tensions increased between the old nobility and the new center of power, the duchy split from the rest of Martial Space in 9804. A wave of liberal reforms swept across the nations and its far-flung colonies, creating over a dozen independence movements as non-central nobles attempted to cling onto power. The Wisteria League, Tianshi's dominant political party, formed to foster compromise between capitalists and traditional nobles. In the process, the Wisteria League has become a "meta-government" of sorts, deciding the winners and losers of the reforms. In the century and a half since the Wisteria League has taken over, Tianshi has maintained its international standing and punches well above its weight in fields such as technology and finance, but its low population and reliance on colonial labor crippled its once enviable industrial sector.
