Tianshi

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, such as the dominant House Tange, 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.
