Yibang

Overview

The Yibang empire has been ruled over by a lineage of dynasties for countless centuries and is noted as one of the oldest standing dynasties. The people of Yibang are hardy and resourceful, either working in fields or taking up trade in the massive, sprawling cities. The Imperial city is truly a sight to behold, with one of if not the tallest building in any kingdom. Built during the Yaling dynasty, this massive stronghold, adorned with jade statues, was said to allow the emperor to see all corners of Yibang.

Major Trades

Being so resource rich, Yibang has developed one of the largest transcontinental trading companies, dealing in spaces, silk, and rice.
