Editing Yung Shai (section)

==History==
Yung Shai was once two kingdoms: Kuzutoro in the west, and Shailiang in the east. While both kingdoms had similar cultures, they were bitter enemies for much of their long history. The two alternated between periods of open warfare and of tenuous peace; both periods could last anywhere from a few years to nearly a century.

It was Shiangliang that ultimately emerged the victor when, after series of decisive and particularly brutal victories, the Shogun of Kuzutoro finally surrendered in [[Calendar#Year 2349|2349]]. The Mandarin of Shiangliang accepted the Shogun's surrender, and allowed him to live out the rest of his days in luxury within the palace at Shai-Tenghar. As a final show of power, however, the Mandarin ordered the destruction of the Kuzutoran capital of Hashizawa. Shailiang's most powerful wu-jen summoned a legion of evil spirits, reducing the once-great city to a haunted ruin.

The Mandarin renamed the kingdom Yung Shai and quickly demonstrated that he did did not wish the Kuzu treated as less than the Shai; indeed, it was his desire that all would live together as a united people. What has emerged over the generations since has been a culture comprised of elements both Kuzu and Shai in origin, and Yung Shai has known relative peace since the Unification.
