68th Journey
[Assignment: Geography of the Twelve Kingdoms for Enki | Copy delivered to Keiki]
MAP
For En Taiho
This is the world we live created by Tentei, the supreme God of Heavens. According to legend, a long time ago, Tentei turned everything into ranka except for five gods and twelve humans. Then, He gave a branch with three different seeds to each of the twelve humans who remained in the world; each branch had a snake wrapped around them. The snake lifted the sky, and the seeds fell and turned into the land, country, and throne. The branch became a brush. This was how the world was created and the twelve kingdoms emerged.
- Kingdom: There are twelve kingdoms in the world: En, Kei, Kou, Han, Hou, Ren, Kyou, Sai, Ryuu, Sou, Shun and Tai. Each kingdom is ruled by an emperor or king chosen by their Kirin who followed Tentei's wishes.
- Sea: framing the kingdoms there are five seas: The Black Sea, the Red Sea, the White Sea, the Blue Sea, and the Sea of Emptiness that connects Hourai with the Twelve Kingdoms. At the center of the world, there is also the Yellow Sea, but this a "sea" in name alone for is a landmass, not a body of water where the sages of Mount Hou and other important beings carry out their duties.
- Province: Within the kingdoms, there are nine provinces in each of them with a varied of prefectures they could have.
- District: Every district has four prefectures that are governed by the viceroys.
- Prefecture: Every prefecture is divided in five counties.
- City: There exists two kinds of cities in this world. One is a jurisdictions created for administrative purposes only. These "cities" contain the county and prefecture seats of every district. The other type of cities are walled communities.
- Township: Jurisdictions created for administrative purposes only.
- Town: Towns are walled communities smaller than the cities that overseen by Elders.
- Hamlet: Unwalled farming settlements that are used during spring and summer before the dwellers moved into the towns or cities during winter.

Well... "Trinity Hall" didn't resemble my school at all; they far less strict and nobody got on my case because I'm redhead. It must be the extra pressure they put on the Japanese education system and traditions, but it made me think over the past. I don't know if I really miss high school, it sure brought up "fond" memories about how easy life used to be when your only worries were about study, shallow socializing and graduating to get into a good College and move on with your life. Those were the easy years, but that was a lifestyle many of us have chosen to leave behind because it's not what we must do anymore even if a little corner of our heart will belong to those days.
Huh. But here I am, still studying although for different purposes.
Rakushun? Man, you were really nervous last night. I, uhh, thanks for coming with me I found you an archery teacher. See City reminds us we shouldn't slack off from our lessons. Let's go and buy you a bow for you to start next week. If that's fine with Kate-sensei.
Enki? Keiki? Did you get my manuscript?
