Chirom

This is part of a series of customary designs I did in Ceramics class.

The assignment was to make vases out of clay, and so I did this.

What are these exactly?

Well, truth be told, these are fantasy cultures that I created myself out of my constant study in mythology and fantasy. They are based on the history of Europe and Asia before the hype of the Early Modern Period.

Might make good for the campaign, you know. Now these pictures I'm displaying are not fantastic kingdoms, but fantastic EMPIRES. I divided each one of these into 3 realms, each realm consisting of a fraction of Medieval, Asian, and Ancient European cultures, each realm being governed by a high king, while the Emperor rules his own capital city that composes of three references obviously.

Three realms are as follows:

Emperor: Vatican, Roma, and Forbidden City
Liabri: Spain, France, and England, Western Roman Empire, and Liao Dynasty
Sonrom: Italy, Central Roman Empire, and Song Dynasty
Teuxia: Germany, Sarmatian, and Xia Dynasty

Religions: Catholicism, Chinese Folk Religion, Roman Pantheon

This one's interesting. Despite being the dominant part of the campaign map, I hadn't seen one decent popular franchise that references any of this empire's source material.

EDIT: After looking into the Three Kingdoms, which apparently sit between Sega and Koei, I decided to edit the description of this empire.

Turns out that the Emperor would have his own specialized infantry unit, the Roman Legionaires, backed by specialized knights headed by each of the Emperor's High Kings. He also sits at a throne in a specialized palace that has been declared a holy city in of itself, combining the Forbidden City, the Vatican, and Ancient Rome.

Cruwei supports the Legionaires with the Knights Templar, because Cruwu is essentially the Crusaders and the Western Christian states, or the Western Roman Empire. It is also the Wu Dynasty because I figured the Wei Dynasty holds a land very similar to that of the Hispanic Peninsula, and the Wei Dynasty is located just west of Japan, geography wise, even though we're seeing a huge historical gap between the Three Kingdoms and Shogun. However, this is a Historical Fantasy setting I'm dealing with, and I'm combining eras here. That being said, I noticed that the High King of Cruwei would have to be an excellent strategist because I noticed that his military would have to be excellent conquerors, especially when having to send either Lu Bu after a Samurai or King Arthur against Aladdin or Ramesis. Cruwei is the dominant faction that has access to the New World.

Huwu combines the Italian part of Europe with the Wu Dynasty, both the heart of the Roman Empire and the Italian States, as well as the Wu Dynasty because where as Wei is closer to Japan and Korea, Wu is closer to Southeast Asia, to Siam. To support the Roman Legionaries, Huwu's High King hosts the Knights Hospitalier. They also support the cultural heritage of the Chirom Empire, as they are the heart of it.

Teushu lives in the mountains, apparently close to Gremon. Their realm is against the empire that is so like Chirom, even philosophically, that they couldn't decide if they were to agree with Chirom and help them fight Injep or to just have a "civil war" with them. Look at where the Shu Kingdom is located. It is not too far from India and would be in the pathway of a much future plague of both China and Europe: the Mongol Empire. Teushu's High King supports the Teutonic Order of Knights.
