Note: This is a prequel to "Land of the Poor Lord"
72 years before the events of "Land of the Poor Lord", the demon lord of the Wilds, Arku'u of A'antara, seeks to modernize his sparsely populated nation which still is in a rather medieval stage of development. He has heard much of the wonders of the other six nations from merchants and seen them first hand in the allied nation of Vandruus. Arku'u has decided to send a committee of his people to learn of the modern world and eventually learn some of the crafts in Vandruus. Additionally in the agreement with Vandruus, the plan seems to be mutually beneficial as Vandruus seeks to strengthen it's military by learning from the techniques of the demons of the Wilds.
Setting: The demon nation of Vandruus. Technology is about late 40s early 50s mostly, however primitive mobile phones exist. The countryside is made up of green mountains and fields of rice paddies. The capital city is Kyoro, a large metropolis with a large palace at it's center. It also features an old town sections with shopping passages from when the city was just a bunch of villages and towns. Vandruus is a little like Japan when it comes to landscape, culture and architecture. Kyoro, the capital is very well interconnected with rail lines and metro lines and you can rarely walk ten minutes before coming across another rail station.

The lords palace: It is a massive palace that has be the seat of Vandruus domain lords. The current demon lord of Vandruus, Lord Kuyo of Kyoro, resides here. It consists of one main building surrounded by gardens and multiple smaller buildings.

Quick explanation of the wilds: The Wilds is a massive nation to the south of Vandruus, making up about half of the land mass of the realm, but has less than 1% of it's population. The official numbers are around 35,000 citizens in the wilds, with it's largest official settlement and capital being A'antara at just five dozen people. The Wilds is known for it's more than just powerful warriors and hardened way of life. Most of it is forested and most of the creatures found there are multiple times larger than in other nations. The Wilds has been known to be the original home of the devils, a species that once dominated the demons and are similar to them in many ways. But the rulers of the wilds usually make sure that the dragons don't attack other nations. The nations culture can be similar to Mongolian, Tungustic, Uralic, old Korean or old Japanese culture depending on the region.
Playable species:
Demons: Human in appearance, just with short horns and can have abnormal eye or hair colors. Compared to humans the are strong. Demons outside of the wilds live in a sort of caste system depending on horn length. Lords have the longest horns being up to 12 inches (30 cm) long. Warrior/noble caste demons usually have horns up to about 6 inches (15 cm) in length. Lower demons only have horns up to 4 inches long. Lower demons can also be subject to serfdom in six of the seven nations. The wilds has outlawed any form of slavery or indentured servitude.
Devils: Native to the Wilds but nowadays in the minority there, devils used to be the rulers of the realm and have been known to eat demons. Outside of the wilds, devils are thought to be extinct and the current devils are usually called wild demons by demons who think devils to be extinct. Devils make up about a fifth of the population in the wilds and have vowed to only eat demons if one challenges them and falls in a duel or if a demon is guilty of a great injustice. Devils are physically taller and more robust than demons. The females can still be small though. Devils horns tend to curve more and can grow pretty long. If horns curve right, devils can wear them up to 30 inches long or 75 cm. If they get any longer or are too straight, they will shorten their horns because long straight horns are inconvenient. Devils are physically stronger than demons, but it still takes training. A well trained demon can still beat a lazy devil. But a well train devil can slay dragons.
Rules:
No godmoding.
Please don't write one liners. This doesnt mean two lines on a phone is okay. On my screen for example a line is about 60 to 70 words.
If you don't post within five days of the last poster in the posting order (if there is one), your turn will be skipped.
If you go missing for more than ten days without a reason or letting anybody know, you will be excluded from the roleplay.
Additional notes: This is not "hell" or "the underworld". It is a separate dimension/realm inhabited by demons. It is more comparable to the alternate realms of Japanese folklore. Any portals to the human realm were closed thousands of years ago.
