Geography:
Akatukitei occupies a small, isolated island, approximately 121 acres in size, with rugged terrain and limited resources. The landscape is dominated by dark, volcanic rocks, and twisted, black trees that seem to writhe towards the sky. The island’s harsh environment has been shaped by the frequent occurrence of blood moons, which are said to imbue the land with a malevolent energy.
Capital City:
The capital, Kurotori-jō, is a fortress city built into the island’s rocky terrain. Its walls are constructed from black stone, adorned with crimson accents, and topped with razor-sharp iron spikes. The city’s architecture is a blend of Japanese and Russian influences, with curved roofs and onion-shaped domes, but with a sinister, foreboding twist.
Buildings and Structures:
- The Imperial Palace: A grand, imposing structure at the city’s center, with black marble walls and a crimson-tiled roof. Its entrance is flanked by massive, iron statues of the founding brothers.
- The Red Moon Temple: A dark, mysterious shrine dedicated to the worship of the blood moon. Its walls are adorned with crimson lanterns, and its priests wear black robes with red sashes.
- The Black Market: A labyrinthine bazaar where all manner of dark goods are traded, from rare poisons to forbidden knowledge.
Military:
The Akatukitei military is a feared force, with soldiers clad in black armor and crimson accents. They wield curved swords and spears, and are trained in the art of stealth and deception. The elite forces are known as the “Jigoku sen” and are handpicked by the Shogun himself.
Symbolism:
The Empire’s emblem is the red moon, symbolizing the bloodshed and sacrifice that forged the nation. The crest features a stylized, crimson moon surrounded by black, curved horns, representing the founding brothers’ conflict and the nation’s unyielding spirit.
