Shogunate of Hosham

Encased between mountain ranges and the ocean, the nation of Hosham has always been somewhat isolated from the rest of the world.

This is not least due to its inhabitants, the Rafi, who rarely choose to spread their knowledge of engineering to other nations and races, and the Hasharni, who's heritage and tradition meant they often disregarded new technology and innovation.

Therefore, while in the south the Rafi developed technology equaled only by that present in Arment, the northern Hasharni would only enlist their help for the building of temples and palaces, which they gladly accepted for promises of payment in gold.

In more recent times many of the Rafi have migrated to Garigland to further develop technology, however many architects stayed behind, now making up a smaller minority of the population, and often travelling the coastlines looking for more work which the pirates of Garigland would never be employed to do.
