This coincides with the Six Cardinals rules I previously created providing a indept world history for one of my challenges. This and the rules are heavily inspired by Tenchi Muyo!: War on Genimar where the world is primarily a mixture of a Martiarchal and Religious society led by a central church or in this case a Temple.
