History
Hoshido has been around for thousands of years and has a history shrouded in glory and tragedy. This realm was born from the Sun Dragon, a divine beast of great power that decided to shed its earthly form and merge with the spiritual realm. From his remains, Hoshido was formed: its mountains from the dragon's spine, its rivers from its blood, and its people from the divine breath that breathed the land. Thus each Hoshido contains a fragment of the power of the Sun Dragon, an unbroken link of generations.
Hoshido was first ruled by the revered Queen Icon, a direct descendant of the Sun Dragon. During his reign, the kingdom flourished in peace and prosperity. But peace was shattered when the Nohr, an ambitious Western nation, launched a surprise attack. This was the beginning of the disastrous conflict that came to be known as the Hoshido-Nohr War. Despite initial setbacks, Hoshido repulsed the attackers and emerged victorious, cementing his status as a formidable power.
Throughout history, Hoshido has been ruled by benevolent monarchs who carry on the legacy of Queen Ikon. They constantly emphasize harmony and seek diplomatic solutions to conflicts. Hoshido is also known for its artistic and technological advancements throughout the ages, greatly influenced by its spiritual roots and endowed with the divine essence of the Sun Dragon itself.
Hoshido's story is truly compelling, a victory in the face of adversity. It is a kingdom tried by fire and growing stronger, uniting their devotion to the Sun Dragon and embracing their destiny as defenders of their homeland. This is a testament to their unwavering spirit, strong faith and standing against any hostile force that dares to disrupt their harmonious existence. Despite the shadows of conflict, the people of Hoshido constantly strive for a bright future, a symbol of their unbreakable spirit inherited from their heavenly ancestor, the Sun Dragon.
