Midora

The Green Heart

The Midora Woodlands, also known as the Midora Kingdoms or the Green Heart of Kudao, is a series of prefectures within the Shilon Empire. Located in an environment varying from dense jungles to towering canyon-lands, to the open rice fields. The lush green valleys of Midora are considered to be home to numerous farmsteads, trade routes, and wildlife.

Throughout history, the Midora woodlands have been the subject of territorial disputes between the Shilon Empire and Monkhu raiders from the mountains. As a result, it has been a challenging region to live in due to bandit raids, sightings of yaoguai, and a lack of aid from the Shilon Empire.

History

Midora's history has always lived inconsistently and rashly due to its vulnerability and lack of divine presence. Therefore the country's origins can be traced to a group of indigenous tribes thousands of years ago who spread out in the valleys when they were forced out of Shilon's walls due to their low position as peasants. Known for their deep connection to the spirits, as well as their efficient agriculture techniques. Midora developed a distinct culture centered around its agriculture and devotion to the sacred land.

Midora has been a territory that has been claimed and reclaimed by many countries over the years, a large mass of it was being ransacked by the Monkhu hordes for a brief period until they were subdued by the White Horns. The territory has been in the hands of the Shilon Empire ever since. Despite its conflicts, the forest has always been an environmental haven for all wildlife and farmers. While the territory is owned by higher nations, the tropics hold no kingdom nor high and powerful nation or military force, just small villages and farms spread across the rainforest. Providing for a post-Yamamura world.

Culture

Throughout its history, Midora has struggled but managed to navigate the geopolitical landscape formed by both the Shilon Empire and the mountain hordes. Elder monks and admirals have consistently employed a strategy of neutrality diplomacy, leveraging their country's rich natural resources and biodiversity as a means of maintaining autonomy. This approach has allowed Midora to avoid cultural genocide attempts and avoid being drawn into regional conflicts with their parent region, the Shilon Empire. In recent decades, Midora has gained international recognition for its sustainable forestry practices and is home to most of the world's farmsteads after the events of Yamamura, becoming a model for agricultural governance in the region. The country's commitment to preserving its forests while balancing economic development has earned it the nickname "The Green Heart of Kudao".
