<p>Kiyone: /* Politics */</p> <hr /> <div>[[Image:Buya.jpg|thumb|150px|right|Map of Buya (circa Yuri 24)]]<br /> <br /> &lt;b&gt;The Empire of&lt;/b&gt; [[Buya]] (pronounced Boo-Ya; also called ''Puyeo'' or ''Fuyu''), a kingdom of [[NexusTK]], is the largest kingdom in terms of population. The city of [[Buya]] also has the largest population of the three main cities, [[Buya]], [[Kugnae]], and [[Nagnang]]. [[Buya]] can be selected as a starting location for new characters.<br /> <br /> [[Buya]] is perhaps the most populated city because everything is very easy to access there. Most buildings of importance are right next to or very near one of the gates of [[Buya]]. [[Buya]] also has many spots that are used for social gatherings, perhaps another reason why it is so popular. <br /> <br /> The capital of ''Buya'' City (also called ''Nong'an''), lies on the border of the territory. The northern gate leads to the [[Buyan gathering]], which houses horses which facilitate rapid travel across the lands of [[NexusTK]]. The western gate leads to the [[Vale]], a somewhat frightening [[player-kill]] area through which the [[Mythic Nexus]] is reached. The eastern gate leads to the [[Islets]], a dangerous but beautiful land that borders [[Koguryo]] and the [[Ogre]] city of [[Hamgyong Nam-do]]. The southern gate leads to the north-west section of the [[Wilderness]] between [[Buya]] and [[Kugnae]].<br /> <br /> == History ==<br /> The Buyian territory is an autonomous outpost of the [[Han]] empire, gifted to the brilliant Regent-General [[Senshi|Aino Senshi]], a Buyian native. The Capital of Buya is Buya City; however, &quot;Buya&quot; is often used to refer to either the territory or the Capital.<br /> <br /> Buya was built up prior to the [[Great Shift]] as a magnificent, opulate palace town. The streets were paved, the Palace rested in the center of a magnificent lake, and ornate statues filled the land, but the population was small and few people spent much time in Buya. Emperor Senshi had suffered tremendous heartbreak and homesickness at being apart from his beloved Ling Chun Yung (Lasahn's mother), and so too did his mood affect the townspeople. Rarely were the streets filled with song; most Buyian Citizens kept residence in Koguryo, which was a livelier town with more amenities.<br /> <br /> Around Y19 or so, Buya was attacked, alongside Koguryo, by Sagu and his minions. This upheaval led to the appointment of a temporary Leader of State, Prince [[Beanbag]], who would handle affairs in Buya similar to the arrangement made between King [[Yuri]] and his son [[Mhul]] in [[Koguryo]]. Beanbag served diligently for several years as the search for an eventual successor to Senshi occured within the Imperial Court.<br /> <br /> During the [[Great Shift]] of Y23, the system of dams and levees containing the palace lake burst, flooding the capital with mud and burying the city's magnificent walls, statues, and paved roads. However, Buya gained significant territory in this geographical upheaval, including the [[Arctic Land]], [[Arctic Village]], [[Northern Pass]], [[Sanhae Village]], [[Islets]], and [[Mt. Du]]. Citizens of Koguryo were suddenly interested in Buya's more condensed streets, smaller size, density, and urban lifestyle. The [[Shaman]] and [[Muse]] circles, displaced by the Great Shift, reopened in Buya. The [[Heavens]], [[Phoenix]] and [[Lost Kingdom]] clans also relocated from Koguryo.<br /> <br /> However, the icing on the cake of modern Buya truly began when General [[Lasahn]] Ling Chun Senshi of Han led an expedition of Han Imperial Scouts on a mission that sent them through the capital. Senshi's joyousness at the reunion with the daughter he never knew he had began a boom in Buyian culture and population. Lasahn was appointed to rule in her father's stead and thus tipped to eventually succeed the throne. Population and cultural growth in Buya continued.<br /> <br /> Between Y24 and Y27, animosity grew between Buya and its neighbor Koguryo, fueled by jealousy from Kogurians at Buya's newfound dominance. The anti-Buyian movement was fuelled largely by Primogen [[Genji]] of [[Sun Moon]] and would eventually lead to the separation of Kogurian and Buyian tribunals. Anti-Buyian vandalism and rallies by Sun Moon members was a common occurance. In Y27, Buya's government was enraged by the appearance of Prince Mhul at the end of a Buyian Tribunal, where he insulted Lasahn. The two powers went to war, but the ensuing bloodbath was interrupted by the appearance of [[KaMing]], the Sonhi troops, and the Zibong, who had been impersonating Mhul to bring the nations to war.<br /> <br /> Reunited in the face of a common enemy, Buya and Koguryo realized they had been tricked and as a result called an immediate armistice, soonafter signing a [[Treaty of Alliance]]. While no victory in battle was accomplished, Buya soon emerged the dominant region in population, culture, and economy.<br /> <br /> Time passed, and many more events befell the Nexus, and by extension, the people of Buya, but the capital city itself was not again directly imperiled until the Spring of Y41, when, in a daring, unprovoked raid, the [[Sonhi]] stormed and captured Buya City, holding the Imperial Court and Princess [[Lasahn]] hostage. Buya's huge population was forced into exile, but the refugees were welcomed with open arms by Prince Mhul and the people of Koguryo. The Clans and Subpaths which had called Buya home set up temporary shelters within Koguryo as the allies pondered their next move. Finally, an underground network of tunnels deep into Buya City and the Palace complex was discovered, and citizens were able to aid the captive guards and Princess. Information from spies reached Kugnae that the Sonhi had begun an excavation of the Buya Library. However, [[Blight]], who had initially declared himself an enemy of Buya, saw the Sonhi as a graver threat and decided to aid Buya's military and exiled citizens in retaking the city by blowing massive holes through the city walls. The Sonhi were surprised by such bravado and, caught off guard, fled, leading to the liberation of the city. This event had long-standing repercussions for the kingdom; information unearthed in the raid deep within the [[Buya Library]] eventually led to the discovery of the [[Armor of the Winds]], and Blight's aid to Buya in her hour of need was the cornerstone in the foundation of the future [[Tri-Kingdom Treaty]].<br /> <br /> Buya had escaped the conflict undamaged, and its citizens returned to their homes to continue life as usual. However, this peace would not last long. In Y46, Buya and Koguryo were invaded by hordes of powerful Wind Gods, which overtook places which in the past had been safehavens, such as Subpath Circles. Buya City and Kugnae were virtually destroyed by the ensuing onslaught of powerful attacks and heavy winds, which ceased only when Princess [[Lasahn]] slew the final Wind God on the steps of the Buya Palace. In the wake of this disaster, both kingdoms established a joint fund and undertook a tremendous rebuilding effort, which rebuilt both Kugnae and Buya in unparalleled splendor.<br /> <br /> Since its redevelopment, Buya City has been a thriving cosmopolitan metropolis which continues to grow. The Kingdom of Buya has also seen tremendous growth in the towns of [[Kimchon]], [[Naju]], and [[Tok-do]].<br /> <br /> == Politics ==<br /> &lt;b&gt;EMPEROR&lt;/b&gt;: Emperor &lt;b&gt;Aino [[Senshi]]&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;b&gt;HEAD OF STATE&lt;/b&gt;: Princess &lt;b&gt;[[Lasahn]] Ling Chun Senshi&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;b&gt;PRIME MINISTER&lt;/b&gt;: Minister &lt;b&gt;Sebelle Beotkkot&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;b&gt;HEAD OF MILITARY&lt;/b&gt;: General &lt;b&gt;AceoStar&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;b&gt;REGENT OF SANHAE&lt;/b&gt;: &lt;i&gt;Position Vacant&lt;/i&gt;<br /> <br /> While Emperor [[Senshi]] is the ruler of Buya, most of the policymaking is left to his daughter, Princess [[Lasahn]]. A number of administrative duties are divided amongst ministers of the Imperial Court, [[Buya Ministry]], and the [[Buyian Imperial Army]]. The BIA concerns itself with defense of all Buyian territory, while the Ministry handles administration, beautification, infrastructure, and cultural projects in Buya's territory.<br /> <br /> Sanhae is governed by a Regent appointed by the Princess, but the position is largely ceremonial as the Mayor of Sanhae is granted autonomy in most affairs. Although Sanhae lies at the strategically important Northern Pass, it is well-guarded by both the BIA and the [[Do]], and thus the vacancy of this post is not an issue of wide concern.<br /> <br /> The three subpaths which reside within Buya -- the [[Muse]], [[Shaman]], and [[Do]] subpaths -- are given free apolitical autonomy by the Imperial Government, although they are on good terms. Clans are required to swear loyalty to Buya and must keep their halls and, if applicable, militias within Buya City under close scrutiny of the Buyian government. Those clans that have militias offer them as important auxillary to the Buyian Imperial Army during times of crisis.<br /> <br /> Buya is party to a Treaty of Alliance with Koguryo and a Nonaggression Pact with Nagnang, both of which were superceded by the [[Tri-Kingdom Treaty]]. Buya also possesses an [[Buya Emergency Charter|Emergency Charter]] with provisions for invasions or attacks on the capital city, although it is in need of reform. In Yuri 78, Buya's government signed a pact with its clans giving them a larger role in the defense of the city and formalizing the alliance of the clans who had formed after the original Treaty of Buya had been signed (with only Heavens and Phoenix existing at the time). This event, while largely viewed as a formality, allowed Buya's military resources to be better distributed in the outlying territories.<br /> <br /> == Population ==<br /> Buya is the most populous kingdom in the Nexus. Citizens of Buya (both the city and country) are referred to as Buyians.<br /> <br /> The populace of Buya is diverse and well-rounded, with the majority of inhabitants of Buya City residing within its many Clans and taverns. The Clans of Buya include [[Heavens]], [[Phoenix]], [[Lost Kingdom]], [[Dharma]], and [[Elendhirin]]. A smaller number of people also live within Buya City in the [[Shaman]], [[Do]], and [[Muse]] Circles, which also house a large number of non-citizens who reside in Buya. Members of the [[Buyian Imperial Army]], the Imperial Court, and the Royal Family take residence in the [[Buya Palace]] at the center of town.<br /> <br /> The largest Buyian towns outside of Buya City are the suburban communiteis of [[Kimchon]], [[Naju]], and [[Tok-do]]. The mining village of [[Sanhae]] and the Arctic village also house small populations; Sanhae is the closest town for many residing in the nearby [[Do]] Circle.<br /> <br /> Sometime in the 70s, the [[Shaman]] Circle moved from Downtown Buya to a more remote, undisclosed location, leaving the [[Muse]] Guild as the only subpath inhabiting the Capital.<br /> <br /> == Culture ==<br /> The Buya Palace is home to a central Library and Theater, which are important civic buildings. The Palace itself contains much public space, including a [[Secret Garden]]. For sporting events, Buya City is home to the [[Bloodlust]] arena as well as the [[Fox hunt]] stables. Buya City is also home to the [[Muse|Muse Guild of Buya]], which contribute greatly to the cultural flavor of the capital.<br /> <br /> Outside of Buya City, but within Buyian territory, lie several more tremendous venues. The [[Islets]] are home to both a magnificent outdoor public amphitheatre and the adjacent [[Garden of the Muses]], which features a theatre with balcony seating and dinner sets (as well as specially brewed Tea); it is also home to the Muses' library and classroom, where they host Muse College classes. Further south in the Islets lie the spirit gardens of the [[Shaman|Shamans]], where rituals are performed and knowledge is stored. Local entertainment is also prevalent in [[Kimchon]], [[Naju]], and [[Tok-do]].<br /> <br /> Sanhae and the Arctic Village are also home to smaller cultural venues, including the [[Sanhae Hall]], [[Kamchatka Ballroom]], and training grounds of the [[Do]], whose neutral circle also lies within the territory.<br /> <br /> == Creatures ==<br /> * [[Blue rooster]]<br /> * [[Cat]]<br /> * [[Deer]]<br /> * [[Doe]]<br /> * [[Fox]]<br /> * [[Horse]]<br /> * [[Mouse]]<br /> * [[Rabbit]]<br /> * [[Rat]]<br /> * [[Snake]]<br /> * [[Squirrel]]<br /> * [[Wolf]]<br /> <br /> == Hunting areas ==<br /> <br /> Most of the caves in [[Buya]] are similar to those in [[Kugnae]].

<p>Kiyone: /* Politics */</p> <hr /> <div>[[Image:Buya.jpg|thumb|150px|right|Map of Buya (circa Yuri 24)]]<br /> <br /> &lt;b&gt;The Empire of&lt;/b&gt; [[Buya]] (pronounced Boo-Ya; also called ''Puyeo'' or ''Fuyu''), a kingdom of [[NexusTK]], is the largest kingdom in terms of population. The city of [[Buya]] also has the largest population of the three main cities, [[Buya]], [[Kugnae]], and [[Nagnang]]. [[Buya]] can be selected as a starting location for new characters.<br /> <br /> [[Buya]] is perhaps the most populated city because everything is very easy to access there. Most buildings of importance are right next to or very near one of the gates of [[Buya]]. [[Buya]] also has many spots that are used for social gatherings, perhaps another reason why it is so popular. <br /> <br /> The capital of ''Buya'' City (also called ''Nong'an''), lies on the border of the territory. The northern gate leads to the [[Buyan gathering]], which houses horses which facilitate rapid travel across the lands of [[NexusTK]]. The western gate leads to the [[Vale]], a somewhat frightening [[player-kill]] area through which the [[Mythic Nexus]] is reached. The eastern gate leads to the [[Islets]], a dangerous but beautiful land that borders [[Koguryo]] and the [[Ogre]] city of [[Hamgyong Nam-do]]. The southern gate leads to the north-west section of the [[Wilderness]] between [[Buya]] and [[Kugnae]].<br /> <br /> == History ==<br /> The Buyian territory is an autonomous outpost of the [[Han]] empire, gifted to the brilliant Regent-General [[Senshi|Aino Senshi]], a Buyian native. The Capital of Buya is Buya City; however, &quot;Buya&quot; is often used to refer to either the territory or the Capital.<br /> <br /> Buya was built up prior to the [[Great Shift]] as a magnificent, opulate palace town. The streets were paved, the Palace rested in the center of a magnificent lake, and ornate statues filled the land, but the population was small and few people spent much time in Buya. Emperor Senshi had suffered tremendous heartbreak and homesickness at being apart from his beloved Ling Chun Yung (Lasahn's mother), and so too did his mood affect the townspeople. Rarely were the streets filled with song; most Buyian Citizens kept residence in Koguryo, which was a livelier town with more amenities.<br /> <br /> Around Y19 or so, Buya was attacked, alongside Koguryo, by Sagu and his minions. This upheaval led to the appointment of a temporary Leader of State, Prince [[Beanbag]], who would handle affairs in Buya similar to the arrangement made between King [[Yuri]] and his son [[Mhul]] in [[Koguryo]]. Beanbag served diligently for several years as the search for an eventual successor to Senshi occured within the Imperial Court.<br /> <br /> During the [[Great Shift]] of Y23, the system of dams and levees containing the palace lake burst, flooding the capital with mud and burying the city's magnificent walls, statues, and paved roads. However, Buya gained significant territory in this geographical upheaval, including the [[Arctic Land]], [[Arctic Village]], [[Northern Pass]], [[Sanhae Village]], [[Islets]], and [[Mt. Du]]. Citizens of Koguryo were suddenly interested in Buya's more condensed streets, smaller size, density, and urban lifestyle. The [[Shaman]] and [[Muse]] circles, displaced by the Great Shift, reopened in Buya. The [[Heavens]], [[Phoenix]] and [[Lost Kingdom]] clans also relocated from Koguryo.<br /> <br /> However, the icing on the cake of modern Buya truly began when General [[Lasahn]] Ling Chun Senshi of Han led an expedition of Han Imperial Scouts on a mission that sent them through the capital. Senshi's joyousness at the reunion with the daughter he never knew he had began a boom in Buyian culture and population. Lasahn was appointed to rule in her father's stead and thus tipped to eventually succeed the throne. Population and cultural growth in Buya continued.<br /> <br /> Between Y24 and Y27, animosity grew between Buya and its neighbor Koguryo, fueled by jealousy from Kogurians at Buya's newfound dominance. The anti-Buyian movement was fuelled largely by Primogen [[Genji]] of [[Sun Moon]] and would eventually lead to the separation of Kogurian and Buyian tribunals. Anti-Buyian vandalism and rallies by Sun Moon members was a common occurance. In Y27, Buya's government was enraged by the appearance of Prince Mhul at the end of a Buyian Tribunal, where he insulted Lasahn. The two powers went to war, but the ensuing bloodbath was interrupted by the appearance of [[KaMing]], the Sonhi troops, and the Zibong, who had been impersonating Mhul to bring the nations to war.<br /> <br /> Reunited in the face of a common enemy, Buya and Koguryo realized they had been tricked and as a result called an immediate armistice, soonafter signing a [[Treaty of Alliance]]. While no victory in battle was accomplished, Buya soon emerged the dominant region in population, culture, and economy.<br /> <br /> Time passed, and many more events befell the Nexus, and by extension, the people of Buya, but the capital city itself was not again directly imperiled until the Spring of Y41, when, in a daring, unprovoked raid, the [[Sonhi]] stormed and captured Buya City, holding the Imperial Court and Princess [[Lasahn]] hostage. Buya's huge population was forced into exile, but the refugees were welcomed with open arms by Prince Mhul and the people of Koguryo. The Clans and Subpaths which had called Buya home set up temporary shelters within Koguryo as the allies pondered their next move. Finally, an underground network of tunnels deep into Buya City and the Palace complex was discovered, and citizens were able to aid the captive guards and Princess. Information from spies reached Kugnae that the Sonhi had begun an excavation of the Buya Library. However, [[Blight]], who had initially declared himself an enemy of Buya, saw the Sonhi as a graver threat and decided to aid Buya's military and exiled citizens in retaking the city by blowing massive holes through the city walls. The Sonhi were surprised by such bravado and, caught off guard, fled, leading to the liberation of the city. This event had long-standing repercussions for the kingdom; information unearthed in the raid deep within the [[Buya Library]] eventually led to the discovery of the [[Armor of the Winds]], and Blight's aid to Buya in her hour of need was the cornerstone in the foundation of the future [[Tri-Kingdom Treaty]].<br /> <br /> Buya had escaped the conflict undamaged, and its citizens returned to their homes to continue life as usual. However, this peace would not last long. In Y46, Buya and Koguryo were invaded by hordes of powerful Wind Gods, which overtook places which in the past had been safehavens, such as Subpath Circles. Buya City and Kugnae were virtually destroyed by the ensuing onslaught of powerful attacks and heavy winds, which ceased only when Princess [[Lasahn]] slew the final Wind God on the steps of the Buya Palace. In the wake of this disaster, both kingdoms established a joint fund and undertook a tremendous rebuilding effort, which rebuilt both Kugnae and Buya in unparalleled splendor.<br /> <br /> Since its redevelopment, Buya City has been a thriving cosmopolitan metropolis which continues to grow. The Kingdom of Buya has also seen tremendous growth in the towns of [[Kimchon]], [[Naju]], and [[Tok-do]].<br /> <br /> == Politics ==<br /> &lt;b&gt;EMPEROR&lt;/b&gt;: Emperor &lt;b&gt;Aino [[Senshi]]&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;b&gt;HEAD OF STATE&lt;/b&gt;: Princess &lt;b&gt;[[Lasahn]] Ling Chun Senshi&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;b&gt;PRIME MINISTER&lt;/b&gt;: Minister &lt;b&gt;Sebelle&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;b&gt;HEAD OF MILITARY&lt;/b&gt;: General &lt;b&gt;AceoStar&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;b&gt;REGENT OF SANHAE&lt;/b&gt;: &lt;i&gt;Position Vacant&lt;/i&gt;<br /> <br /> While Emperor [[Senshi]] is the ruler of Buya, most of the policymaking is left to his daughter, Princess [[Lasahn]]. A number of administrative duties are divided amongst ministers of the Imperial Court, [[Buya Ministry]], and the [[Buyian Imperial Army]]. The BIA concerns itself with defense of all Buyian territory, while the Ministry handles administration, beautification, infrastructure, and cultural projects in Buya's territory.<br /> <br /> Sanhae is governed by a Regent appointed by the Princess, but the position is largely ceremonial as the Mayor of Sanhae is granted autonomy in most affairs. Although Sanhae lies at the strategically important Northern Pass, it is well-guarded by both the BIA and the [[Do]], and thus the vacancy of this post is not an issue of wide concern.<br /> <br /> The three subpaths which reside within Buya -- the [[Muse]], [[Shaman]], and [[Do]] subpaths -- are given free apolitical autonomy by the Imperial Government, although they are on good terms. Clans are required to swear loyalty to Buya and must keep their halls and, if applicable, militias within Buya City under close scrutiny of the Buyian government. Those clans that have militias offer them as important auxillary to the Buyian Imperial Army during times of crisis.<br /> <br /> Buya is party to a Alliance of Treaty with Koguryo and a Nonaggression Pact with Nagnang. Buya also possesses an [[Buya Emergency Charter|Emergency Charter]] with provisions for invasions or attacks on the capital city. In Yuri 78, Buya's government signed a pact with its clans giving them a larger role in the defense of the city and formalizing the alliance of the clans who had formed after the original Treaty of Buya had been signed (with only Heavens and Phoenix existing at the time). This event, while largely viewed as a formality, allowed Buya's military resources to be better distributed in the outlying territories.<br /> <br /> == Population ==<br /> Buya is the most populous kingdom in the Nexus. Citizens of Buya (both the city and country) are referred to as Buyians.<br /> <br /> The populace of Buya is diverse and well-rounded, with the majority of inhabitants of Buya City residing within its many Clans and taverns. The Clans of Buya include [[Heavens]], [[Phoenix]], [[Lost Kingdom]], [[Dharma]], and [[Elendhirin]]. A smaller number of people also live within Buya City in the [[Shaman]], [[Do]], and [[Muse]] Circles, which also house a large number of non-citizens who reside in Buya. Members of the [[Buyian Imperial Army]], the Imperial Court, and the Royal Family take residence in the [[Buya Palace]] at the center of town.<br /> <br /> The largest Buyian towns outside of Buya City are the suburban communiteis of [[Kimchon]], [[Naju]], and [[Tok-do]]. The mining village of [[Sanhae]] and the Arctic village also house small populations; Sanhae is the closest town for many residing in the nearby [[Do]] Circle.<br /> <br /> Sometime in the 70s, the [[Shaman]] Circle moved from Downtown Buya to a more remote, undisclosed location, leaving the [[Muse]] Guild as the only subpath inhabiting the Capital.<br /> <br /> == Culture ==<br /> The Buya Palace is home to a central Library and Theater, which are important civic buildings. The Palace itself contains much public space, including a [[Secret Garden]]. For sporting events, Buya City is home to the [[Bloodlust]] arena as well as the [[Fox hunt]] stables. Buya City is also home to the [[Muse|Muse Guild of Buya]], which contribute greatly to the cultural flavor of the capital.<br /> <br /> Outside of Buya City, but within Buyian territory, lie several more tremendous venues. The [[Islets]] are home to both a magnificent outdoor public amphitheatre and the adjacent [[Garden of the Muses]], which features a theatre with balcony seating and dinner sets (as well as specially brewed Tea); it is also home to the Muses' library and classroom, where they host Muse College classes. Further south in the Islets lie the spirit gardens of the [[Shaman|Shamans]], where rituals are performed and knowledge is stored. Local entertainment is also prevalent in [[Kimchon]], [[Naju]], and [[Tok-do]].<br /> <br /> Sanhae and the Arctic Village are also home to smaller cultural venues, including the [[Sanhae Hall]], [[Kamchatka Ballroom]], and training grounds of the [[Do]], whose neutral circle also lies within the territory.<br /> <br /> == Creatures ==<br /> * [[Blue rooster]]<br /> * [[Cat]]<br /> * [[Deer]]<br /> * [[Doe]]<br /> * [[Fox]]<br /> * [[Horse]]<br /> * [[Mouse]]<br /> * [[Rabbit]]<br /> * [[Rat]]<br /> * [[Snake]]<br /> * [[Squirrel]]<br /> * [[Wolf]]<br /> <br /> == Hunting areas ==<br /> <br /> Most of the caves in [[Buya]] are similar to those in [[Kugnae]].

<p>Kiyone: /* Locations */</p> <hr /> <div>The &lt;b&gt;Muse Guild of Buya&lt;/b&gt; is one of the three player-run [[Poet]] [[Subpaths]] in the Nexus. The Muses are artists, entertainers, musicians, creators, historians, and teachers.<br /> <br /> == Members ==<br /> The current memebers of the Muse subpath can be found [http://users.nexustk.com/webreport/Muse.htm here]. The current elder of the Muses is [http://users.nexustk.com/?name=Aelis Aelis].<br /> <br /> == Elders ==<br /> * Founding Elder: [[GuardianIV]] (Yuri 19-25)<br /> * Laburnum (Yuri 25-31)<br /> * [[Kiyone]] (Yuri 31-55)<br /> * Lokira (Yuri 55-58)<br /> * SkaDemon (Yuri 58-67)<br /> * [http://users.nexustk.com/?name=Aelis Aelis] (Yuri 67- )<br /> <br /> == Roleplay ==<br /> Muses are the creative class of the Nexus; they excel in arts and sciences and specialize in just about anything intellectual or creative. Muses can be artists, educators, dancers, musicians, historians, poets, writers, thespians, scientists, and so on. While the most obvious facets of Muse are the actors and musicians who entertain the community, many others are more soft-spoken, choosing to paint solitarily, pen novels, or sort through dusty archives. Most Muses are, however, community-oriented to some extent, even offering theatrical dyes as a service to the community.<br /> <br /> Muse walkers are expected to write a journal each Year of Yuri's reign to share with their fellow Muses. The subjects of these journals are relatively unrestricted so as to encourage more creativity within the path.<br /> <br /> Religious beliefs and rites of the Muses are unrestricted, but members of the Guild worship the [[Nine Muses|Nine Muse sisters]] of Western lore, each of whom presides over a specific art. They are:<br /> <br /> * Calliope - Muse of Epic Poetry<br /> * Clio - Muse of History<br /> * Euterpe - Muse of Music<br /> * Urania - Muse of Astronomy<br /> * Erato - Muse of Erotic Poetry<br /> * Polyhymnia - Muse of Sacred Poetry<br /> * Terpischore - Muse of Dance<br /> * Thalia - Muse of Comedy<br /> * Melpomene - Muse of Tragedy<br /> <br /> == History ==<br /> The Muse Guild of Buya was founded in Yuri 19 by Elder Guardian IV. The Buyian Muse Guild is an offshoot of the [[Central Muse Guild]] in the city of [[Parnassus]], far to the west. Muse Guilds exist across the world and offer services such as free lodging and use of stage facilities to traveling Muses.

Guardian was removed and recalled to his native [[Ilbon]], where he was eventually promoted to chair the League of Eastern Muse Guilds. Laburnum was installed as Elder, and quickly expanded the path, ascending guides and adding new walkers; the first ascended Guide of the Muse Guild was Kiyone, followed almost immediately by Lokira.

During her 25-year reign she oversaw vast expansion of the path, countless threats to the Muses (including a Shaman feud and a tangle with the cursed book [[Stones]]), a vast increase in Muse outreach to the community (including the hosting of the [[Revel to Riches]]) and the design and construction of the [[Garden of the Muses]]. In Yuri 55, however, after the Nine Muse Sisters appeared in and around Buya, a high-ranking official from the [[Central Muse Guild]] named [[Thales]] (Hand of Melpomene) audited the Buyian Guild. While many presumed he was there to sack the Elder, he was in fact recruiting her for the position of Helicon, the Leader of the Central Guild in the far-western city of [[Parnassus]]. Kiyone left for Parnassus and appointed Lokira as elder.<br /> <br /> Lokira, having grown discontented with the vast degree of cheating and potential for corruption faced by the Revel, divorced the Muse Guild from the event. Hostess [[Revelle d'Literit]] was recalled to Parnassus, where she eventually became the Hand of Calliope.

The Buyian Muse Guild is an offshoot of the [[Central Muse Guild]] in the city of [[Parnassus]], far to the west. Muse Guilds exist across the world and offer services such as free lodging and use of stage facilities to traveling Muses. Each Muse Guild, including the Buyian Guild, is internally governed by the Central Guild, although Elders are granted a good degree of independence in how they shape and direct their Guilds. The Central Guild is governed by a Helicon, who chairs the Council of Nine, where each representative serves as the Hand of a specific Muse sister.<br /> <br /> Guardian IV welcomed the original members of the path to the Muses after the Subpaths were created and energized through the [[Shattering]] of the Onyx. The path grew slowly but Guardian's vision was persistent. In Yuri 25, however, a visiting Muse turned out to secretly be an evaluator for the Central Guild, which did not feel its new Buyian branch was growing quickly enough. Guardian was removed and recalled to his native [[Ilbon]], where he was eventually promoted to chair the League of Eastern Muse Guilds. Laburnum was installed as Elder, and quickly expanded the path, ascending guides and adding new walkers; the first ascended Guide of the Muse Guild was Kiyone, followed almost immediately by Lokira. During the period of Laburnum's reign, the Guild worked to define its role in the community; a weekly storytelling Gathering was initiated by Guide Rando and community outreach, for which the Muses are now legendary, truly began.<br /> <br /> At Laburnum's departure for work in the West, in Yuri 31, Kiyone was elected Elder. During her 25-year reign she oversaw vast expansion of the path, countless threats to the Muses (including a Shaman feud and a tangle with the cursed book [[Stones]]), a vast increase in Muse outreach to the community (including the hosting of the [[Revel to Riches]]) and the design and construction of the [[Garden of the Muses]]. In Yuri 55, however, after the Nine Muse Sisters appeared in and around Buya, a high-ranking official from the [[Central Muse Guild]] named [[Thales]] (Hand of Melpomene) audited the Buyian Guild. While many presumed he was there to sack the Elder, he was in fact recruiting her for the position of Helicon, the Leader of the Central Guild in the far-western city of [[Parnassus]]. Kiyone left for Parnassus and appointed Lokira as elder.<br /> <br /> Lokira, having grown discontented with the vast degree of cheating and potential for corruption faced by the Revel, divorced the Muse Guild from the event. Hostess [[Revelle d'Literit]] was recalled to Parnassus, where she eventually became the Hand of Calliope. After a brief but effective tenure which oversaw the launch of the [[Nine Muses Quest]] and the end of the Muse-run Revel, Lokira retired in favor of a more quiet, restful job: Head Librarian of Parnassus.<br /> <br /> SkaDemon governed the Muses through tough times, including uncertainty about the future of the Nexus itself, before stepping down and yielding to Aelis. Aelis has served as elder ever since, instituting reforms and building upon her vision -- as well as those of past Elders -- for the path's future.<br /> <br /> == Locations ==<br /> The Muse Circle is held in a courtyard hidden between the woods south of the Palace in [[Buya]] City, close to the tavern amenities and Cultural Center. The circle design is intended to evoke the feel of a city courtyard. At night, specially placed lanterns illuminate the Circle.

Kiyone left for Parnassus and appointed Lokira as elder.<br /> <br /> Lokira, having grown discontented with the vast degree of cheating and potential for corruption faced by the Revel, divorced the Muse Guild from the event. Hostess [[Revelle d'Literit]] was recalled to Parnassus, where she eventually became the Hand of Calliope. After a brief but effective tenure which oversaw the launch of the [[Nine Muses Quest]] and the end of the Muse-run Revel, Lokira retired in favor of a more quiet, restful job: Head Librarian of Parnassus.<br /> <br /> SkaDemon governed the Muses through tough times, including uncertainty about the future of the Nexus itself, before stepping down and yielding to Aelis. Aelis has served as elder ever since, instituting reforms and building upon her vision -- as well as those of past Elders -- for the path's future.<br /> <br /> == Locations ==<br /> The Muse Circle is located in the woods south of the Palace in [[Buya]] City, close to the tavern amenities and Cultural Center. The circle design is intended to evoke the feel of a city courtyard. At night, specially placed lanterns illuminate the Circle.<br /> <br /> The [[Garden of the Muses]] is home to a spectacular theatre with lighting, backstage and stage-setting amenities, dining accomodations, and a balcony. There is also a library and classroom there known as the &lt;b&gt;Sanctum of Song&lt;/b&gt;, where Muse College is held.. The Muse Garden is the only place in the Nexus where patrons can purchase Tea.<br /> <br /> == Events ==<br /> <br /> Regular Muse events include Dinner Theatre, Cabaret, Muse Gathering and Muse College.

<p>Kiyone: added details of the shamans &amp; treaty</p> <hr /> <div>[[Image:Buya.jpg|thumb|150px|right|Map of Buya (circa Yuri 24)]]<br /> <br /> &lt;b&gt;The Empire of&lt;/b&gt; [[Buya]] (pronounced Boo-Ya; also called ''Puyeo'' or ''Fuyu''), a kingdom of [[NexusTK]], is the largest kingdom in terms of population. The city of [[Buya]] also has the largest population of the three main cities, [[Buya]], [[Kugnae]], and [[Nagnang]]. [[Buya]] can be selected as a starting location for new characters.<br /> <br /> [[Buya]] is perhaps the most populated city because everything is very easy to access there. Most buildings of importance are right next to or very near one of the gates of [[Buya]]. [[Buya]] also has many spots that are used for social gatherings, perhaps another reason why it is so popular. <br /> <br /> The capital of ''Buya'' City (also called ''Nong'an''), lies on the border of the territory. The northern gate leads to the [[Buyan gathering]], which houses horses which facilitate rapid travel across the lands of [[NexusTK]]. The western gate leads to the [[Vale]], a somewhat frightening [[player-kill]] area through which the [[Mythic Nexus]] is reached. The eastern gate leads to the [[Islets]], a dangerous but beautiful land that borders [[Koguryo]] and the [[Ogre]] city of [[Hamgyong Nam-do]]. The southern gate leads to the north-west section of the [[Wilderness]] between [[Buya]] and [[Kugnae]].<br /> <br /> == History ==<br /> The Buyian territory is an autonomous outpost of the [[Han]] empire, gifted to the brilliant Regent-General [[Aino Senshi]], a Buyian native. The Capital of Buya is Buya City; however, &quot;Buya&quot; is often used to refer to either the territory or the Capital.<br /> <br /> Buya was built up prior to the [[Great Shift]] as a magnificent, opulate palace town. The streets were paved, the Palace rested in the center of a magnificent lake, and ornate statues filled the land, but the population was small and few people spent much time in Buya. Emperor Senshi had suffered tremendous heartbreak and homesickness at being apart from his beloved Ling Chun Yung (Lasahn's mother), and so too did his mood affect the townspeople. Rarely were the streets filled with song; most Buyian Citizens kept residence in Koguryo, which was a livelier town with more amenities.<br /> <br /> Around Y19 or so, Buya was attacked, alongside Koguryo, by Sagu and his minions. This upheaval led to the appointment of a temporary Leader of State, Prince [[Beanbag]], who would handle affairs in Buya similar to the arrangement made between King [[Yuri]] and his son [[Mhul]] in [[Koguryo]]. Beanbag served diligently for several years as the search for an eventual successor to Senshi occured within the Imperial Court.<br /> <br /> During the [[Great Shift]] of Y23, the system of dams and levees containing the palace lake burst, flooding the capital with mud and burying the city's magnificent walls, statues, and paved roads. However, Buya gained significant territory in this geographical upheaval, including the [[Arctic Land]], [[Arctic Village]], [[Northern Pass]], [[Sanhae Village]], [[Islets]], and [[Mt. Du]]. Citizens of Koguryo were suddenly interested in Buya's more condensed streets, smaller size, density, and urban lifestyle. The [[Shaman]] and [[Muse]] circles, displaced by the Great Shift, reopened in Buya. The [[Heavens]], [[Phoenix]] and [[LostKingdom]] clans also relocated from Koguryo.<br /> <br /> However, the icing on the cake of modern Buya truly began when General [[Lasahn]] Ling Chun Senshi of Han led an expedition of Han Imperial Scouts on a mission that sent them through the capital. Senshi's joyousness at the reunion with the daughter he never knew he had began a boom in Buyian culture and population. Lasahn was appointed to rule in her father's stead and thus tipped to eventually succeed the throne. Population and cultural growth in Buya continued.<br /> <br /> Between Y24 and Y27, animosity grew between Buya and its neighbor Koguryo, fueled by jealousy from Kogurians at Buya's newfound dominance. The anti-Buyian movement was fuelled largely by Primogen [[Genji]] of the [[Sun Moon Sect]] and would eventually lead to the seperation of Kogurian and Buyian tribunals. Anti-Buyian vandalism and rallies by Sun Moon members was a common occurance. In Y27, Buya's government was enraged by the appearance of Prince Mhul at the end of a Buyian Tribunal, where he insulted Lasahn. The two powers went to war, but the ensuing bloodbath was interrupted by the appearance of [[KaMing]], the Sonhi troops, and the Zibong, who had been impersonating Mhul to bring the nations to war.<br /> <br /> Reunited in the face of a common enemy, Buya and Koguryo realized they had been tricked and as a result called an immediate armistice, soonafter signing a [[Treaty of Alliance]]. While no victory in battle was accomplished, Buya soon emerged the dominant region in population, culture, and economy.<br /> <br /> Time passed, and many more events befell the Nexus, and by extension, the people of Buya, but the city itself was not again directly imperiled until the Spring of Y41, when, in a daring, unprovoked raid, the [[Sonhi]] stormed and captured Buya City, holding the Imperial Court and Princess [[Lasahn]] hostage. Buya's huge population was forced into exile, but the refugees were welcomed with open arms by Prince Mhul and the people of Koguryo. The Clans and Subpaths which had called Buya home set up temporary shelters within Koguryo as the allies pondered their next move. Finally, an underground network of tunnels deep into Buya City and the Palace complex was discovered, and citizens were able to aid the captive guards and Princess. Information from spies reached Kugnae that the Sonhi had begun an excavation of the Buya Library. However, once they found what they were looking for, the Sonhi mysteriously vacated, and the allies quickly retook the city. The information unearthed deep within the [[Buya Library]] eventually led to the discovery of the [[Armor of the Winds]].<br /> <br /> Buya had escaped the conflict undamaged, and its citizens returned to their homes to continue life as usual. However, this peace would not last long. In Y46, Buya and Koguryo were invaded by hordes of powerful Wind Gods, which overtook places which in the past had been safehavens, such as Subpath Circles. Buya City and Kugnae were virtually destroyed by the ensuing onslaught of powerful attacks and heavy winds, which ceased only when Princess [[Lasahn]] slew the final Wind God on the steps of the Buya Palace. In the wake of this disaster, both kingdoms established a joint fund and undertook a tremendous rebuilding effort, which rebuilt both Kugnae and Buya in unparalleled splendor.<br /> <br /> Since its redevelopment, Buya City has been a thriving cosmopolitan metropolis which continues to grow. The Kingdom of Buya has also seen tremendous growth in the towns of [[Kimchon]], [[Naju]], and [[Tok-do]].<br /> <br /> == Politics ==<br /> &lt;b&gt;EMPEROR&lt;/b&gt;: Emperor &lt;b&gt;Aino [[Senshi]]&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;b&gt;HEAD OF STATE&lt;/b&gt;: Princess &lt;b&gt;[[Lasahn]] Ling Chun Senshi&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;b&gt;PRIME MINISTER&lt;/b&gt;: Minister &lt;b&gt;Guerrund&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;b&gt;HEAD OF MILITARY&lt;/b&gt;: General &lt;b&gt;AceoStar&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;b&gt;REGENT OF SANHAE&lt;/b&gt;: &lt;i&gt;Position Vacant&lt;/i&gt;<br /> <br /> While Emperor Senshi is the ruler of Buya, most of the policymaking is left to his daughter, Princess [[Lasahn]]. A number of administrative duties are divided amongst ministers of the Imperial Court and the [[Buyian Imperial Army]]. The BIA concerns itself with defense and administration of all Buyian territory.<br /> <br /> Sanhae is governed by a Regent appointed by the Princess, but the position is largely ceremonial as the Mayor of Sanhae is granted autonomy in most affairs. Although Sanhae lies at the strategically important Northern Pass, it is well-guarded by both the BIA and the [[Do]], and thus the vacancy of this post is not an issue of wide concern.<br /> <br /> The three subpaths which reside within Buya -- the [[Muse]], [[Shaman]], and [[Do]] subpaths -- are given free apolitical autonomy by the Imperial Government, although they are on good terms. Clans are required to swear loyalty to Buya and must keep their halls and, if applicable, militias within Buya City under close scrutiny of the Buyian government. Those clans that have militias offer them as important auxillary to the Buyian Imperial Army during times of crisis.<br /> <br /> Buya is party to a Alliance of Treaty with Koguryo and a Nonaggression Pact with Nagnang. Buya also possesses an [[Buya Emergency Charter|Emergency Charter]] with provisions for invasions or attacks on the capital city. In Yuri 78, Buya's government signed a pact with its clans giving them a larger role in the defense of the city and formalizing the alliance of the clans who had formed after the original Treaty of Buya had been signed (with only Heavens and Phoenix existing at the time). This event, while largely viewed as a formality, allowed Buya's military resources to be better distributed in the outlying territories.<br /> <br /> == Population ==<br /> Buya is the most populous kingdom in the Nexus. Citizens of Buya (both the city and country) are referred to as Buyians.<br /> <br /> The populace of Buya is diverse and well-rounded, with the majority of inhabitants of Buya City (the most populous single city in the Nexus) residing within its many Clans and taverns. The Clans of Buya include [[Heavens]], [[Phoenix]], [[Lost Kingdom]], [[Dharma]], and [[Elendhirin]]. A smaller number of people also live within Buya City in the [[Shaman]] and [[Muse]] Circles, which also house a large number of non-citizens who reside in Buya. Members of the [[Buyian Imperial Army]], the Imperial Court, and the Royal Family take residence in the [[Buya Palace]] at the center of town.<br /> <br /> The largest Buyian towns outside of Buya City are the suburban communiteis of [[Kimchon]], [[Naju]], and [[Tok-do]]. The mining village of Sanhae and the Arctic village also house small populations; Sanhae is the closest town for many residing in the nearby [[Do]] Circle.<br /> <br /> Sometime in the 70s, the [[Shaman]] Circle moved from Downtown Buya to a more remote, undisclosed location, leaving the [[Muse]] Guild as the only subpath inhabiting the Capital.<br /> <br /> == Culture ==<br /> The Buya Palace is home to a central Library and Theater, which are important civic buildings. The Palace itself contains much public space, including a [[Secret Garden]]. For sporting events, Buya City is home to the [[Bloodlust]] arena as well as the [[Fox hunt]] stables. Buya City is also home to the [[Muse|Muse Guild of Buya]], which contribute greatly to the cultural flavor of the capital.<br /> <br /> Outside of Buya City, but within Buyian territory, lie several more tremendous venues. The [[Islets]] are home to both a magnificent outdoor public amphitheatre and the adjacent [[Garden of the Muses]], which features a theatre with balcony seating and dinner sets (as well as specially brewed Tea); it is also home to the Muses' library and classroom, where they host Muse College classes. Further south in the Islets lie the spirit gardens of the [[Shaman|Shamans]], where rituals are performed and knowledge is stored. Local entertainment is also prevalent in [[Kimchon]], [[Naju]], and [[Tok-do]].<br /> <br /> Sanhae and the Arctic Village are also home to smaller cultural venues, including the [[Sanhae Hall]], [[Kamchatka Ballroom]], and training grounds of the [[Do]], whose neutral circle also lies within the territory.<br /> <br /> == Creatures ==<br /> * [[Blue rooster]]<br /> * [[Cat]]<br /> * [[Deer]]<br /> * [[Doe]]<br /> * [[Fox]]<br /> * [[Horse]]<br /> * [[Mouse]]<br /> * [[Rabbit]]<br /> * [[Rat]]<br /> * [[Snake]]<br /> * [[Squirrel]]<br /> * [[Wolf]]<br /> <br /> == Hunting areas ==<br /> <br /> Most of the caves in [[Buya]] are similar to those in [[Kugnae]].

<p>Kiyone: /* Family */</p> <hr /> <div>&lt;b&gt;Princess Lasahn Ling Chun Senshi&lt;/b&gt; is the Head of State of [[Buya]]. She performs all functions of leader in place of her father, Emperor Senshi. She is a gifted warrior as fluid in court ceremony and protocol as she is gifted with a sword.<br /> <br /> Lasahn's weapon of choice is an Electra. She was raised in the Court of Han, where she learned her strangely emphatic way of talking. (Example: &quot;Your transgressions shall !not! be tolerated!&quot;)<br /> <br /> == Family ==<br /> &lt;b&gt;Father&lt;/b&gt;: Emperor &lt;b&gt;Aino [[Senshi]]&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;b&gt;Mother&lt;/b&gt;: &lt;b&gt;Yun Ling Chun&lt;/b&gt; (Deceased)&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> Lasahn's mother was a third cousin of the Emperor of [[Han]]. It is not known whether Lasahn has any half-siblings in Han.<br /> <br /> == History ==<br /> <br /> === Parentage ===<br /> Aino Senshi, an acclaimed General and tactician, was a native son of Buya before he left to serve the Han Emperor. His bravado and strategic brilliance in service of the Han led the Emperor to personally offer the hand of one of his most beautiful cousins in the Imperial Court: Yun Ling Chun. The two fell in love and were married in summer, but the political situation in Buya had grown dim; the King was ill and his advisors were making power plays. The Han Emperor dispatched Aino and his legion to Buya to maintain order; as time lingered on, he did not return. Yun Ling, presuming that Aino had been killed in battle or simply abandoned her, became bitter and fled to the countryside, where she gave birth to his child. She would later learn that the King of Buya, who had no heirs, had, on his deathbed, willed that Aino Senshi succeed him; however, she refused to join Senshi at the Buyian Court, feeling he had betrayed her by leaving in the first place. Having lost his beloved, Senshi governed effectively but sank into a deep, depressive pain of the heart.<br /> <br /> === Childhood ===<br /> Lasahn Ling Chun was raised in the court of the Han Emperor, who supported her and her mother, who had become distant and bitter. From an early age Lasahn displayed an interest in swordplay, often skipping dancing classes to train in fencing with the boys. Not content with merely studying the ways of tea ceremony and poetry, Lasahn trained with master Qi Lao of the Imperial Court, learning sword technique and martial arts; she quickly excelled.

<p>Kiyone: elaborated</p> <hr /> <div>A requirement a subpath must meet to avoid disbandment.<br /> <br /> Subpath Quotas have historically always pertained to membership numbers. The Quota given by [[Eldridge]] in the 40s was the most substantial, causing extreme aggravation for all of the subpaths and the destruction of the [[Shadow]] path.</div>

<p>Kiyone: created article</p> <hr /> <div>The [[Shadow]] subpath was one of the original 12 [[Subpaths]] of Nexus. It was created with the others during [[The Shattering]], and was founded by Daggett. The Shadows were a path of mystery, a cross between ninja and mystic. They were dark, but not malevolent.<br /> <br /> ==Roleplay Issues==<br /> <br /> What exactly the Shadows were is difficult to describe; the Shadow Path had extreme difficulty balancing their roleplay, as it was unknown what Shadows were supposed to do; they were hesitant to conflict with the roleplay of the [[Spy]] path. During its run, many complained that a nature-based path for the Rogues was missing and that a [[Ranger]] path would prove more successful and popular. However, the [[Shadow]] lingered on, despite constantly falling short of growth and activity expectations.<br /> <br /> ==Destruction==<br /> <br /> During the 40s a [[Subpath Quota]] was instituted by God [[Eldridge]], motivated by the very real threat of disbanding the subpaths should numbers not increase. This hit the Shadows particularly hard as they had always been one of the smallest and least stable paths. As the Quota progressed, the Shadows consistently lagged behind the most, but did grow significantly.<br /> <br /> Elder [[Citian]] was given some sort of ultimatum by Eldridge, likely a threat of his removal as Elder. Soonafter, he called a path meeting. As Shadows appeared for the meeting, Citian declared the Shadows disbanded and dismissed the entire path, including his Guides.<br /> <br /> ==Aftermath==<br /> <br /> Many in the community thought Citian a hero for his deeds, and his message of protest resonated well with members of the other subpaths, who had grown weary of trying to increase numbers. Several guides and walkers of other subpaths (particularly those who were friends of Citian) even quit their respective paths in a move of solidarity. However, this phenomenon was not widespread, and most Elders and Guides were disgusted at the potential destruction of the subpaths' collective hard work.<br /> <br /> The Elder Haven was in a panic the night the Shadows disbanded. Many Elders could sympathize with being pushed to the breaking point, but could not tolerate Citian's jeapordizing their paths. Some felt that Citian was merely wishing to cement his own legend. Eldridge called an emergency Elder meeting the night the Shadows were disbanded.<br /> <br /> Many in the community, especially the Shadow Guides and Walkers who had worked hard to save the path, thought that Eldridge would simply restore the member list and choose a new Guide to replace Citian. However, Citian played right into Eldridge's hands, and the Shadows were not revived. The disbandment of the path proved the perfect opportunity to form the [[Ranger]] path, which, it was widely believed, would have more appeal and differ more from the [[Spy|Spies]].<br /> <br /> Within a day [[Angelica]] was drafted by the Elders to head the newly-formed [[Ranger]] path. Within a week the path was up and running; soon it had grown to one of the largest paths in Nexus. The Shadows would not be coming back.<br /> <br /> ==Lessons Learned==<br /> <br /> Citian is a contentious name in Nexus history. It is widely held that Citian's actions, while bold, were not heroic, as he destroyed the Shadow path and jeapordized the future of all the Subpaths. However, there are still those who speak of him with reverence, mostly for the legendary destruction he created. In summary, he is viewed either as an underdog who challenged the Gods and lost, or an attention-seeking brooder who wanted to leave his mark--and didn't care if he destroyed the Subpaths in the process. It is not known if the Gods implemented any safety features to prevent an elder from dismissing his entire path after this event.<br /> <br /> As the Shadow were a path that struggled with roleplay identity and numbers, it is unsurprising that they were not allowed to re-form. Questions remain on how the Gods would respond if a more active or important path, such as the [[Diviners]] or [[Muses]], were to suffer an elder breakdown and disbandment. Many speculate that had Eldridge not wanted the Shadows disbanded in the first place, he would have simply re-formed the path, as it was &lt;i&gt;more&lt;/i&gt; work for him to design an entire new path, complete with circle, spells, and roleplay. The changing of hands from [[Nexon]] to [[Kru]] and the subsequent reduction of emphasis on the Quota also raises new questions about what kind of response might occur.<br /> <br /> The event also presents an interesting study in sociopolitical structures; it is no coincidence that the weakest path suffered the most strain as a result of being expected to keep up with the other paths. The path also suffered considerably as it had the least to offer the community of any of the subpaths, and a smaller membership base to boot; power-struggles and coups were also frequent. All of these factors were certainly contributors to an event that might be better described as the culmination of a gradual and general collapse.</div>

<p>Kiyone: /* Population */</p> <hr /> <div>[[Image:Buya.jpg|thumb|150px|right|Map of Buya (circa Yuri 24)]]<br /> <br /> &lt;b&gt;The Empire of&lt;/b&gt; [[Buya]] (pronounced Boo-Ya), a kingdom of [[NexusTK]], is the largest kingdom in terms of population. The city of [[Buya]] is also has the largest population of the three main cities, [[Buya]], [[Kugnae]], and [[Nagnang]]. [[Buya]] can be selected as a starting location for new characters.<br /> <br /> [[Buya]] is perhaps the most populated city because everything is very easy to access there. Most buildings of importance are right next to or very near one of the gates of [[Buya]]. [[Buya]] also has many spots that are used for social gatherings, perhaps another reason why it is so popular. <br /> <br /> Buya City, the capital, lies on the border of the territory. The northern gate leads to the [[Buyan gathering]], which houses horses which facilitate rapid travel across the lands of [[NexusTK]]. The western gate leads to the [[Vale]], a somewhat frightening [[player-kill]] area through which the [[Mythic Nexus]] is reached. The eastern gate leads to the [[Islets]], a dangerous but beautiful land that borders [[Koguryo]] and the [[Ogre]] city of [[Hamgyong Nam-do]]. The southern gate leads to the north-west section of the [[Wilderness]] between [[Buya]] and [[Kugnae]].<br /> <br /> == History ==<br /> The Buyian territory is an autonomous outpost of the [[Han]] empire, gifted to the brilliant Regent-General [[Aino Senshi]], a Buyian native. The Capital of Buya is Buya City; however, &quot;Buya&quot; is often used to refer to either the territory or the Capital.<br /> <br /> Buya was built up prior to the [[Great Shift]] as a magnificent, opulate palace town. The streets were paved, the Palace rested in the center of a magnificent lake, and ornate statues filled the land, but the population was small and few people spent much time in Buya. King Senshi had suffered tremendous heartbreak and homesickness at being apart from his beloved (Lasahn's mother), and so too did his mood affect the townspeople. Rarely were the streets filled with song; most Buyian Citizens kept residence in Koguryo, which was a livelier town with more amenities.<br /> <br /> Around Y19 or so, Buya was attacked, alongside Koguryo, by Sagu and his minions, during [[The Shattering]]. This upheaval led to the appointment of a temporary Leader of State, Prince [[Beanbag]], who would handle affairs in Buya similar to the arrangement made between King [[Yuri]] and his son [[Mhul]] in [[Koguryo]]. Beanbag served diligently for several years as the search for an eventual successor to Senshi occured within the Imperial Court.<br /> <br /> During the [[Great Shift]] of Y23, the system of dams and levees containing the palace lake burst, flooding the capital with mud and burying the city's magnificent walls, statues, and paved roads. However, Buya gained significant territory in this geographical upheaval, including the [[Arctic Land]], [[Arctic Village]], [[Northern Pass]], [[Sanhae Village]], [[Islets]], and [[Mt. Du]]. Citizens of Koguryo were suddenly interested in Buya's more condensed streets, smaller size, density, and urban lifestyle. The [[Shaman]] and [[Muse]] circles, displaced by the Great Shift, reopened in Buya. The [[Heavens]] and [[Phoenix]] clans also relocated from Koguryo.<br /> <br /> However, the icing on the cake of modern Buya truly began when General [[Lasahn]] Ling Chun of Han led an expedition of Han Imperial Scouts on a mission that sent them through the capital. Senshi's joyousness at the reunion with the daughter he never knew he had began a boom in Buyian culture and population. Lasahn was appointed to rule in her father's stead and thus tipped to eventually succeed the throne. Population and cultural growth in Buya continued.<br /> <br /> Between Y24 and Y27, animosity grew between Buya and its neighbor Koguryo, fueled by jealousy from Kogurians at Buya's newfound dominance. The anti-Buyian movement was fuelled largely by Primogen [[Genji]] of the [[Sun Moon Sect]] and would eventually lead to the seperation of Kogurian and Buyian tribunals. Anti-Buyian vandalism and rallies by Sun Moon members was a common occurance. In Y27, Buya's government was enraged by the appearance of Prince Mhul at the end of a Buyian Tribunal, where he insulted Lasahn. The two powers went to war, but the ensuing bloodbath was interrupted by the appearance of [[KaMing]], the Sonhi troops, and the Zibong, who had been impersonating Mhul to bring the nations to war.<br /> <br /> Reunited in the face of a common enemy, Buya and Koguryo realized they had been tricked and as a result called an immediate armistice, soonafter signing a [[Treaty of Alliance]]. While no victory in battle was accomplished, Buya soon emerged the dominant region in population, culture, and economy.<br /> <br /> Time passed, and many more events befell the Nexus, and by extension, the people of Buya, but the city itself was not again directly imperiled until the Spring of Y41, when, in a daring, unprovoked raid, the [[Sonhi]] stormed and captured Buya City, holding the Imperial Court and Princess [[Lasahn]] hostage. Buya's huge population was forced into exile, but the refugees were welcomed with open arms by Prince Mhul and the people of Koguryo. The Clans and Subpaths which had called Buya home set up temporary shelters within Koguryo as the allies pondered their next move. Finally, an underground network of tunnels deep into Buya City and the Palace complex was discovered, and citizens were able to aid the captive guards and Princess. Information from spies reached Kugnae that the Sonhi had begun an excavation of the Buya Library. However, once they found what they were looking for, the Sonhi mysteriously vacated, and the allies quickly retook the city. The information unearthed deep within the [[Buya Library]] eventually led to the discovery of the [[Armor of the Winds]].<br /> <br /> Buya had escaped the conflict undamaged, and its citizens returned to their homes to continue life as usual. However, this peace would not last long. In Y46, Buya and Koguryo were invaded by hordes of powerful Wind Gods, which overtook places which in the past had been safehavens, such as Subpath Circles. Buya City and Kugnae were virtually destroyed by the ensuing onslaught of powerful attacks and heavy winds, which ceased only when Princess [[Lasahn]] slew the final Wind God on the steps of the Buya Palace. In the wake of this disaster, both kingdoms established a joint fund and undertook a tremendous rebuilding effort, which rebuilt both Kugnae and Buya in unparalleled splendor.<br /> <br /> Since its redevelopment, Buya City has been a thriving cosmopolitan metropolis which continues to grow. The Kingdom of Buya has also seen tremendous growth in the towns of [[Kimchon]], [[Naju]], and [[Tok-do]].<br /> <br /> == Politics ==<br /> &lt;b&gt;EMPEROR&lt;/b&gt;: Emperor &lt;b&gt;Aino [[Senshi]]&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;b&gt;HEAD OF STATE&lt;/b&gt;: Princess &lt;b&gt;[[Lasahn]] Ling Chun Senshi&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;b&gt;HEAD OF MILITARY&lt;/b&gt;: General &lt;b&gt;AceoStar&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;b&gt;REGENT OF SANHAE&lt;/b&gt;: &lt;i&gt;Position Vacant&lt;/i&gt;<br /> <br /> While Emperor Senshi is the ruler of Buya, most of the policymaking is left to his daughter, Princess [[Lasahn]]. A number of administrative duties are divided amongst ministers of the Imperial Court and the [[Buyian Imperial Army]]. The BIA concerns itself with defense and administration of all Buyian territory.<br /> <br /> Sanhae is governed by a Regent appointed by the Princess, but the position is largely ceremonial as the Mayor of Sanhae is granted autonomy in most affairs. Although Sanhae lies at the strategically important Northern Pass, it is well-guarded by both the BIA and the [[Do]], and thus the vacancy of this post is not an issue of wide concern.<br /> <br /> The three subpaths which reside within Buya -- the [[Muse]], [[Shaman]], and [[Do]] subpaths -- are given free apolitical autonomy by the Imperial Government, although they are on good terms. Clans are required to swear loyalty to Buya and must keep their halls and, if applicable, militias within Buya City under close scrutiny of the Buyian government. Those clans that have militias offer them as important auxillary to the Buyian Imperial Army during times of crisis.<br /> <br /> Buya is party to a Alliance of Treaty with Koguryo and a Nonaggression Pact with Nagnang. Buya also possesses an [[Buya Emergency Charter|Emergency Charter]] with provisions for invasions or attacks on the capital city.<br /> <br /> == Population ==<br /> Buya is the most populous kingdom in the Nexus. Citizens of Buya (both the city and country) are referred to as Buyians.<br /> <br /> The populace of Buya is diverse and well-rounded, with the majority of inhabitants of Buya City (the most populous single city in the Nexus) residing within its many Clans and taverns. The Clans of Buya include [[Heavens]], [[Phoenix]], [[Lost Kingdom]], [[Dharma]], and [[Elendhirin]]. A smaller number of people also live within Buya City in the [[Shaman]] and [[Muse]] Circles, which also house a large number of non-citizens who reside in Buya. Members of the [[Buyian Imperial Army]], the Imperial Court, and the Royal Family take residence in the [[Buya Palace]] at the center of town.<br /> <br /> The largest Buyian towns outside of Buya City are the suburban communiteis of [[Kimchon]], [[Naju]], and [[Tok-do]]. The mining village of Sanhae and the Arctic village also house small populations; Sanhae is the closest town for many residing in the nearby [[Do]] Circle.<br /> <br /> == Culture ==<br /> The Buya Palace is home to a central Library and Theater, which are important civic buildings. The Palace itself contains much public space, including a [[Secret Garden]]. For sporting events, Buya City is home to the [[Bloodlust]] arena as well as the [[Fox Hunt]] Stables. Buya City is also home to the [[Shaman]] path and the [[Muse|Muse Guild of Buya]], which contribute greatly to the multicultural flavor of the capital.<br /> <br /> Outside of Buya City, but within Buyian territory, lie several more tremendous venues.

<p>Kiyone: </p> <hr /> <div>[[Image:Buya.jpg|thumb|150px|right|Map of Buya (circa Yuri 24)]]<br /> <br /> &lt;b&gt;The Empire of&lt;/b&gt; [[Buya]] (pronounced Boo-Ya), a kingdom of [[NexusTK]], is the largest kingdom in terms of population. The city of [[Buya]] is also has the largest population of the three main cities, [[Buya]], [[Kugnae]], and [[Nagnang]]. [[Buya]] can be selected as a starting location for new characters.<br /> <br /> [[Buya]] is perhaps the most populated city because everything is very easy to access there. Most buildings of importance are right next to or very near one of the gates of [[Buya]]. [[Buya]] also has many spots that are used for social gatherings, perhaps another reason why it is so popular. <br /> <br /> Buya City, the capital, lies on the border of the territory. The northern gate leads to the [[Buyan gathering]], which houses horses which facilitate rapid travel across the lands of [[NexusTK]]. The western gate leads to the [[Vale]], a somewhat frightening [[player-kill]] area through which the [[Mythic Nexus]] is reached. The eastern gate leads to the [[Islets]], a dangerous but beautiful land that borders [[Koguryo]] and the [[Ogre]] city of [[Hamgyong Nam-do]]. The southern gate leads to the north-west section of the [[Wilderness]] between [[Buya]] and [[Kugnae]].<br /> <br /> == History ==<br /> The Buyian territory is an autonomous outpost of the [[Han]] empire, gifted to the brilliant Regent-General [[Aino Senshi]], a Buyian native. The Capital of Buya is Buya City; however, &quot;Buya&quot; is often used to refer to either the territory or the Capital.<br /> <br /> Buya was built up prior to the [[Great Shift]] as a magnificent, opulate palace town. The streets were paved, the Palace rested in the center of a magnificent lake, and ornate statues filled the land, but the population was small and few people spent much time in Buya. King Senshi had suffered tremendous heartbreak and homesickness at being apart from his beloved (Lasahn's mother), and so too did his mood affect the townspeople. Rarely were the streets filled with song; most Buyian Citizens kept residence in Koguryo, which was a livelier town with more amenities.<br /> <br /> Around Y19 or so, Buya was attacked, alongside Koguryo, by Sagu and his minions, during [[The Shattering]]. This upheaval led to the appointment of a temporary Leader of State, Prince [[Beanbag]], who would handle affairs in Buya similar to the arrangement made between King [[Yuri]] and his son [[Mhul]] in [[Koguryo]]. Beanbag served diligently for several years as the search for an eventual successor to Senshi occured within the Imperial Court.<br /> <br /> During the [[Great Shift]] of Y23, the system of dams and levees containing the palace lake burst, flooding the capital with mud and burying the city's magnificent walls, statues, and paved roads. However, Buya gained significant territory in this geographical upheaval, including the [[Arctic Land]], [[Arctic Village]], [[Northern Pass]], [[Sanhae Village]], [[Islets]], and [[Mt. Du]]. Citizens of Koguryo were suddenly interested in Buya's more condensed streets, smaller size, density, and urban lifestyle. The [[Shaman]] and [[Muse]] circles, displaced by the Great Shift, reopened in Buya. The [[Heavens]] and [[Phoenix]] clans also relocated from Koguryo.<br /> <br /> However, the icing on the cake of modern Buya truly began when General [[Lasahn]] Ling Chun of Han led an expedition of Han Imperial Scouts on a mission that sent them through the capital. Senshi's joyousness at the reunion with the daughter he never knew he had began a boom in Buyian culture and population. Lasahn was appointed to rule in her father's stead and thus tipped to eventually succeed the throne. Population and cultural growth in Buya continued.<br /> <br /> Between Y24 and Y27, animosity grew between Buya and its neighbor Koguryo, fueled by jealousy from Kogurians at Buya's newfound dominance. The anti-Buyian movement was fuelled largely by Primogen [[Genji]] of the [[Sun Moon Sect]] and would eventually lead to the seperation of Kogurian and Buyian tribunals. Anti-Buyian vandalism and rallies by Sun Moon members was a common occurance. In Y27, Buya's government was enraged by the appearance of Prince Mhul at the end of a Buyian Tribunal, where he insulted Lasahn. The two powers went to war, but the ensuing bloodbath was interrupted by the appearance of [[KaMing]], the Sonhi troops, and the Zibong, who had been impersonating Mhul to bring the nations to war.<br /> <br /> Reunited in the face of a common enemy, Buya and Koguryo realized they had been tricked and as a result called an immediate armistice, soonafter signing a [[Treaty of Alliance]]. While no victory in battle was accomplished, Buya soon emerged the dominant region in population, culture, and economy.<br /> <br /> Time passed, and many more events befell the Nexus, and by extension, the people of Buya, but the city itself was not again directly imperiled until the Spring of Y41, when, in a daring, unprovoked raid, the [[Sonhi]] stormed and captured Buya City, holding the Imperial Court and Princess [[Lasahn]] hostage. Buya's huge population was forced into exile, but the refugees were welcomed with open arms by Prince Mhul and the people of Koguryo. The Clans and Subpaths which had called Buya home set up temporary shelters within Koguryo as the allies pondered their next move. Finally, an underground network of tunnels deep into Buya City and the Palace complex was discovered, and citizens were able to aid the captive guards and Princess. Information from spies reached Kugnae that the Sonhi had begun an excavation of the Buya Library. However, once they found what they were looking for, the Sonhi mysteriously vacated, and the allies quickly retook the city. The information unearthed deep within the [[Buya Library]] eventually led to the discovery of the [[Armor of the Winds]].<br /> <br /> Buya had escaped the conflict undamaged, and its citizens returned to their homes to continue life as usual. However, this peace would not last long. In Y46, Buya and Koguryo were invaded by hordes of powerful Wind Gods, which overtook places which in the past had been safehavens, such as Subpath Circles. Buya City and Kugnae were virtually destroyed by the ensuing onslaught of powerful attacks and heavy winds, which ceased only when Princess [[Lasahn]] slew the final Wind God on the steps of the Buya Palace. In the wake of this disaster, both kingdoms established a joint fund and undertook a tremendous rebuilding effort, which rebuilt both Kugnae and Buya in unparalleled splendor.<br /> <br /> Since its redevelopment, Buya City has been a thriving cosmopolitan metropolis which continues to grow. The Kingdom of Buya has also seen tremendous growth in the towns of [[Kimchon]], [[Naju]], and [[Tok-do]].<br /> <br /> == Politics ==<br /> &lt;b&gt;EMPEROR&lt;/b&gt;: Emperor &lt;b&gt;Aino [[Senshi]]&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;b&gt;HEAD OF STATE&lt;/b&gt;: Princess &lt;b&gt;[[Lasahn]] Ling Chun Senshi&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;b&gt;HEAD OF MILITARY&lt;/b&gt;: General &lt;b&gt;AceoStar&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;b&gt;REGENT OF SANHAE&lt;/b&gt;: &lt;i&gt;Position Vacant&lt;/i&gt;<br /> <br /> While Emperor Senshi is the ruler of Buya, most of the policymaking is left to his daughter, Princess [[Lasahn]]. A number of administrative duties are divided amongst ministers of the Imperial Court and the [[Buyian Imperial Army]]. The BIA concerns itself with defense and administration of all Buyian territory.<br /> <br /> Sanhae is governed by a Regent appointed by the Princess, but the position is largely ceremonial as the Mayor of Sanhae is granted autonomy in most affairs. Although Sanhae lies at the strategically important Northern Pass, it is well-guarded by both the BIA and the [[Do]], and thus the vacancy of this post is not an issue of wide concern.<br /> <br /> The three subpaths which reside within Buya -- the [[Muse]], [[Shaman]], and [[Do]] subpaths -- are given free apolitical autonomy by the Imperial Government, although they are on good terms. Clans are required to swear loyalty to Buya and must keep their halls and, if applicable, militias within Buya City under close scrutiny of the Buyian government. Those clans that have militias offer them as important auxillary to the Buyian Imperial Army during times of crisis.<br /> <br /> Buya is party to a Alliance of Treaty with Koguryo and a Nonaggression Pact with Nagnang. Buya also possesses an [[Buya Emergency Charter|Emergency Charter]] with provisions for invasions or attacks on the capital city.<br /> <br /> == Population ==<br /> Buya is the most populous kingdom in the Nexus. Citizens Buya (both the city and country) are referred to as Buyians.<br /> <br /> The populace of Buya is diverse and well-rounded, with the majority of inhabitants of Buya City (the most populous single city in the Nexus) residing within its many Clans and taverns. The Clans of Buya include [[Heavens]], [[Phoenix]], [[Lost Kingdom]], [[Dharma]], and [[Elendhirin]]. A smaller number of people also live within Buya City in the [[Shaman]] and [[Muse]] Circles, which also house a large number of non-citizens who reside in Buya. Members of the [[Buyian Imperial Army]], the Imperial Court, and the Royal Family take residence in the [[Buya Palace]] at the center of town.<br /> <br /> The largest Buyian towns outside of Buya City are the suburban communiteis of [[Kimchon]], [[Naju]], and [[Tok-do]]. The mining village of Sanhae and the Arctic village also house small populations; Sanhae is the closest town for many residing in the nearby [[Do]] Circle.<br /> <br /> == Culture ==<br /> The Buya Palace is home to a central Library and Theater, which are important civic buildings. The Palace itself contains much public space, including a [[Secret Garden]]. For sporting events, Buya City is home to the [[Bloodlust]] arena as well as the [[Fox Hunt]] Stables. Buya City is also home to the [[Shaman]] path and the [[Muse|Muse Guild of Buya]], which contribute greatly to the multicultural flavor of the capital.<br /> <br /> Outside of Buya City, but within Buyian territory, lie several more tremendous venues. The [[Islets]] are home to both a magnificent outdoor public amphitheatre and the adjacent [[Garden of the Muses]], which features a theatre with balcony seating and dinner sets (as well as specially brewed Tea); it is also home to the Muses' library and classroom, where they host Muse College classes. Further south in the Islets lie the spirit gardens of the [[Shaman|Shamans]], where rituals are performed and knowledge is stored. Local entertainment is also prevalent in [[Kimchon]], [[Naju]], and [[Tok-do]].<br /> <br /> Sanhae and the Arctic Village are also home to smaller cultural venues, including the [[Sanhae Hall]], [[Kamchatka Ballroom]], and training grounds of the [[Do]], whose neutral circle also lies within the territory.<br /> <br /> == Creatures ==<br /> * [[Blue rooster]]<br /> * [[Cat]]<br /> * [[Deer]]<br /> * [[Doe]]<br /> * [[Fox]]<br /> * [[Horse]]<br /> * [[Mouse]]<br /> * [[Rabbit]]<br /> * [[Rat]]<br /> * [[Snake]]<br /> * [[Squirrel]]<br /> * [[Wolf]]<br /> <br /> == Hunting areas ==<br /> <br /> Most of the caves in [[Buya]] are similar to those in [[Kugnae]].

<p>Kiyone: /* Politics */ King-&gt;Emperor</p> <hr /> <div>[[Image:Buya.jpg|thumb|150px|right|Map of Buya (circa Yuri 24)]]<br /> <br /> [[Buya]] (pronounced Boo-Ya), a kingdom of [[NexusTK]], is the largest kingdom in terms of population. The city of [[Buya]] is also has the largest population of the three main cities, [[Buya]], [[Kugnae]], and [[Nagnang]]. [[Buya]] can be selected as a starting location for new characters.<br /> <br /> [[Buya]] is perhaps the most populated city because everything is very easy to access there. Most buildings of importance are right next to or very near one of the gates of [[Buya]]. [[Buya]] also has many spots that are used for social gatherings, perhaps another reason why it is so popular. <br /> <br /> Buya City, the capital, lies on the border of the territory. The northern gate leads to the [[Buyan gathering]], which houses horses which facilitate rapid travel across the lands of [[NexusTK]]. The western gate leads to the [[Vale]], a somewhat frightening [[player-kill]] area through which the [[Mythic Nexus]] is reached. The eastern gate leads to the [[Islets]], a dangerous but beautiful land that borders [[Koguryo]] and the [[Ogre]] city of [[Hamgyong Nam-do]]. The southern gate leads to the north-west section of the [[Wilderness]] between [[Buya]] and [[Kugnae]].<br /> <br /> == History ==<br /> The Buyian territory is an autonomous outpost of the [[Han]] empire, gifted to the brilliant Regent-General [[Aino Senshi]], a Buyian native. The Capital of Buya is Buya City; however, &quot;Buya&quot; is often used to refer to either the territory or the Capital.<br /> <br /> Buya was built up prior to the [[Great Shift]] as a magnificent, opulate palace town. The streets were paved, the Palace rested in the center of a magnificent lake, and ornate statues filled the land, but the population was small and few people spent much time in Buya. King Senshi had suffered tremendous heartbreak and homesickness at being apart from his beloved (Lasahn's mother), and so too did his mood affect the townspeople. Rarely were the streets filled with song; most Buyian Citizens kept residence in Koguryo, which was a livelier town with more amenities.<br /> <br /> Around Y19 or so, Buya was attacked, alongside Koguryo, by Sagu and his minions, during [[The Shattering]]. This upheaval led to the appointment of a temporary Leader of State, Prince [[Beanbag]], who would handle affairs in Buya similar to the arrangement made between King [[Yuri]] and his son [[Mhul]] in [[Koguryo]]. Beanbag served diligently for several years as the search for an eventual successor to Senshi occured within the Imperial Court.<br /> <br /> During the [[Great Shift]] of Y23, the system of dams and levees containing the palace lake burst, flooding the capital with mud and burying the city's magnificent walls, statues, and paved roads. However, Buya gained significant territory in this geographical upheaval, including the [[Arctic Land]], [[Arctic Village]], [[Northern Pass]], [[Sanhae Village]], [[Islets]], and [[Mt. Du]]. Citizens of Koguryo were suddenly interested in Buya's more condensed streets, smaller size, density, and urban lifestyle. The [[Shaman]] and [[Muse]] circles, displaced by the Great Shift, reopened in Buya. The [[Heavens]] and [[Phoenix]] clans also relocated from Koguryo.<br /> <br /> However, the icing on the cake of modern Buya truly began when General [[Lasahn]] Ling Chun of Han led an expedition of Han Imperial Scouts on a mission that sent them through the capital. Senshi's joyousness at the reunion with the daughter he never knew he had began a boom in Buyian culture and population. Lasahn was appointed to rule in her father's stead and thus tipped to eventually succeed the throne. Population and cultural growth in Buya continued.<br /> <br /> Between Y24 and Y27, animosity grew between Buya and its neighbor Koguryo, fueled by jealousy from Kogurians at Buya's newfound dominance. The anti-Buyian movement was fuelled largely by Primogen [[Genji]] of the [[Sun Moon Sect]] and would eventually lead to the seperation of Kogurian and Buyian tribunals. Anti-Buyian vandalism and rallies by Sun Moon members was a common occurance. In Y27, Buya's government was enraged by the appearance of Prince Mhul at the end of a Buyian Tribunal, where he insulted Lasahn. The two powers went to war, but the ensuing bloodbath was interrupted by the appearance of [[KaMing]], the Sonhi troops, and the Zibong, who had been impersonating Mhul to bring the nations to war.<br /> <br /> Reunited in the face of a common enemy, Buya and Koguryo realized they had been tricked and as a result called an immediate armistice, soonafter signing a [[Treaty of Alliance]]. While no victory in battle was accomplished, Buya soon emerged the dominant region in population, culture, and economy.<br /> <br /> Time passed, and many more events befell the Nexus, and by extension, the people of Buya, but the city itself was not again directly imperiled until the Spring of Y41, when, in a daring, unprovoked raid, the [[Sonhi]] stormed and captured Buya City, holding the Imperial Court and Princess [[Lasahn]] hostage. Buya's huge population was forced into exile, but the refugees were welcomed with open arms by Prince Mhul and the people of Koguryo. The Clans and Subpaths which had called Buya home set up temporary shelters within Koguryo as the allies pondered their next move. Finally, an underground network of tunnels deep into Buya City and the Palace complex was discovered, and citizens were able to aid the captive guards and Princess. Information from spies reached Kugnae that the Sonhi had begun an excavation of the Buya Library. However, once they found what they were looking for, the Sonhi mysteriously vacated, and the allies quickly retook the city. The information unearthed deep within the [[Buya Library]] eventually led to the discovery of the [[Armor of the Winds]].<br /> <br /> Buya had escaped the conflict undamaged, and its citizens returned to their homes to continue life as usual. However, this peace would not last long. In Y46, Buya and Koguryo were invaded by hordes of powerful Wind Gods, which overtook places which in the past had been safehavens, such as Subpath Circles. Buya City and Kugnae were virtually destroyed by the ensuing onslaught of powerful attacks and heavy winds, which ceased only when Princess [[Lasahn]] slew the final Wind God on the steps of the Buya Palace. In the wake of this disaster, both kingdoms established a joint fund and undertook a tremendous rebuilding effort, which rebuilt both Kugnae and Buya in unparalleled splendor.<br /> <br /> Since its redevelopment, Buya City has been a thriving cosmopolitan metropolis which continues to grow.

The Muses are artists, entertainers, musicians, creators, historians, and teachers.<br /> <br /> == Members ==<br /> The current memebers of the Muse subpath can be found [http://users.nexustk.com/webreport/Muse.htm here]. The current elder of the Muses is [http://users.nexustk.com/?name=Aelis Aelis].<br /> <br /> == Elders ==<br /> * Founding Elder: [[GuardianIV]] (Yuri 19-25)<br /> * Laburnum (Yuri 25-31)<br /> * [[Kiyone]] (Yuri 31-55)<br /> * Lokira (Yuri 55-58)<br /> * SkaDemon (Yuri 58-67)<br /> * [http://users.nexustk.com/?name=Aelis Aelis] (Yuri 67- )<br /> <br /> == Roleplay ==<br /> Muses are the creative class of the Nexus; they excel in arts and sciences and specialize in just about anything intellectual or creative. Muses can be artists, educators, dancers, musicians, historians, poets, writers, thespians, scientists, and so on. While the most obvious facets of Muse are the actors and musicians who entertain the community, many others are more soft-spoken, choosing to paint solitarily, pen novels, or sort through dusty archives. Most Muses are, however, community-oriented to some extent, even offering theatrical dyes as a service to the community.<br /> <br /> Muse walkers are expected to write a journal each Year of Yuri's reign to share with their fellow Muses. The subjects of these journals are relatively unrestricted so as to encourage more creativity within the path.<br /> <br /> Religious beliefs and rites of the Muses are unrestricted, but members of the Guild worship the [[Nine Muses|Nine Muse sisters]] of Western lore, each of whom presides over a specific art. They are:<br /> <br /> * Calliope - Muse of Epic Poetry<br /> * Clio - Muse of History<br /> * Euterpe - Muse of Music<br /> * Urania - Muse of Astronomy<br /> * Erato - Muse of Erotic Poetry<br /> * Polyhymnia - Muse of Sacred Poetry<br /> * Terpischore - Muse of Dance<br /> * Thalia - Muse of Comedy<br /> * Melpomene - Muse of Tragedy<br /> <br /> == History ==<br /> The Muse Guild of Buya was founded in Yuri 19 by Elder Guardian IV. The Buyian Muse Guild is an offshoot of the [[Central Muse Guild]] in the city of [[Parnassus]], far to the west. Muse Guilds exist across the world and offer services such as free lodging and use of stage facilities to traveling Muses. Each Muse Guild, including the Buyian Guild, is internally governed by the Central Guild, although Elders are granted a good degree of independence in how they shape and direct their Guilds. The Central Guild is governed by a Helicon, who chairs the Council of Nine, where each representative serves as the Hand of a specific Muse sister.<br /> <br /> Guardian IV welcomed the original members of the path to the Muses after the Subpaths were created and energized through the [[Shattering]] of the Onyx. The path grew slowly but Guardian's vision was persistent. In Yuri 25, however, a visiting Muse turned out to secretly be an evaluator for the Central Guild, which did not feel its new Buyian branch was growing quickly enough. Guardian was removed and recalled to his native [[Ilbon]], where he was eventually promoted to chair the League of Eastern Muse Guilds. Laburnum was installed as Elder, and quickly expanded the path, ascending guides and adding new walkers; the first ascended Guide of the Muse Guild was Kiyone, followed almost immediately by Lokira. During the period of Laburnum's reign, the Guild worked to define its role in the community; a weekly storytelling Gathering was initiated by Guide Rando and community outreach, for which the Muses are now legendary, truly began.<br /> <br /> At Laburnum's departure for work in the West, in Yuri 31, Kiyone was elected Elder. During her 25-year reign she oversaw vast expansion of the path, countless threats to the Muses (including a Shaman feud, tangle with the cursed book [[Stones]]), a vast increase in Muse outreach to the community (including the hosting of the [[Revel to Riches]]) and the design and construction of the [[Garden of the Muses]]. In Yuri 55, however, after the Nine Muse Sisters appeared in and around Buya, a high-ranking official from the [[Central Muse Guild]] named [[Thales]] (Hand of Melpomene) audited the Buyian Guild. While many presumed he was there to sack the Elder, he was in fact recruiting her for the position of Helicon of the Central Guild. Kiyone left for Parnassus and appointed Lokira as elder.<br /> <br /> Lokira, having grown discontented with the vast degree of cheating and potential for corruption faced by the Revel, divorced the Muse Guild from the event. Hostess [[Revelle d'Literit]] was recalled to Parnassus, where she eventually became the Hand of Calliope. After a brief but effective tenure which oversaw the launch of the [[Nine Muses Quest]] and the end of the Muse-run Revel, Lokira retired in favor of a more quiet, restful job: Head Librarian of Parnassus.<br /> <br /> SkaDemon governed the Muses through tough times, including uncertainty about the future of the Nexus itself, before stepping down and yielding to Aelis. Aelis has served as elder ever since, instituting reforms and building upon her vision -- as well as those of past Elders -- for the path's future.<br /> <br /> == Garden of the Muses ==<br /> The [[Garden of the Muses]] is home to a spectacular theatre with backstage and stage-setting amenities, dining accomodations, and a balcony. There is also a library and classroom there known as &lt;b&gt;Sanctum of Song&lt;/b&gt;. The Muse Garden is the only place in the Nexus where patrons can purchase Tea.<br /> <br /> Regular Muse events include Dinner Theatre, Cabaret, and Muse College. The Garden is also home to special Muse events and rituals, and was the site of the Revel to Riches and Muse Gathering for many years.<br /> <br /> == Path Names ==<br /> * Muse (99)<br /> * Artisan (Il san)<br /> * Virtuoso (Ee san)<br /> * Prodigy (Sam san)<br /> <br /> == Brands ==<br /> * &lt;i&gt;Graced by the Muse&lt;/i&gt; - Recognition of those who display exceptional creative and intellectual talent.<br /> * &lt;i&gt;Discordant Note&lt;/i&gt; - A brand of scorn for enemies of the Guild.<br /> * &lt;i&gt;Earned the blessing of (Muse)&lt;/i&gt; - Component of the [[Nine Muses Quest]].

<p>Kiyone: removed name tag</p> <hr /> <div>Poets are the support characters of NexusTK. Not only can they heal people better than any other class in the game, but they can also cast buffing spells that enhance the armors of other characters. In addition, they can weaken the armors of enemy critters. Poets are always needed on a hunt, and even give a slight experience bonus when hunting with them. Not only are Poets able to heal incredibly well, but at level 99, they are granted the ability to raise the dead. So, if you're fighting that dragon boss who suddenly decides to hellfire you to death, a Poet can bring you back. Not, that is, without the consequences of normal death. As a Poet, it is very difficult to actually damage anything yourself. So, it is best to hunt in groups as much as possible.<br /> <br /> <br /> ==Subpaths==<br /> [[Druid]]<br /> <br /> [[Muse]]<br /> <br /> [[Monk]]</div>

Muse Guilds exist across the world and offer services such as free lodging and use of stage facilities to traveling Muses. Each Muse Guild, including the Buyian Guild, is internally governed by the Central Guild, although Elders are granted a good degree of independence in how they shape and direct their Guilds.

The path grew slowly but Guardian's vision was persistent. In Yuri 25, however, a visiting Muse turned out to secretly be an evaluator for the Central Guild, which did not feel its new Buyian branch was growing quickly enough. Guardian was removed and recalled to his native [[Ilbon]], where he was eventually promoted to chair the League of Eastern Muse Guilds. Laburnum was installed as Elder, and quickly expanded the path, ascending guides and adding new walkers; the first ascended Guide of the Muse Guild was Kiyone, followed almost immediately by Lokira.

During her 25-year reign she oversaw vast expansion of the path, countless threats to the Muses (including a Shaman feud, tangle with the cursed book [[Stones]]), a vast increase in Muse outreach to the community (including the hosting of the [[Revel to Riches]]) and the design and construction of the [[Garden of the Muses]]. In Yuri 55, however, after the Nine Muse Sisters appeared in and around Buya, a high-ranking official from the [[Central Muse Guild]] named [[Thales]] (Hand of Melpomene) audited the Buyian Guild. While many presumed he was there to sack the Elder, he was in fact recruiting her for the position of Helicon of the Central Guild.

<p>Kiyone: /* Population */</p> <hr /> <div>[[Image:Buya.jpg|thumb|150px|right|Map of Buya (circa Yuri 24)]]<br /> <br /> [[Buya]] (pronounced Boo-Ya), a kingdom of [[NexusTK]], is the largest kingdom in terms of population. The city of [[Buya]] is also has the largest population of the three main cities, [[Buya]], [[Kugnae]], and [[Nagnang]]. [[Buya]] can be selected as a starting location for new characters.<br /> <br /> [[Buya]] is perhaps the most populated city because everything is very easy to access there. Most buildings of importance are right next to or very near one of the gates of [[Buya]]. [[Buya]] also has many spots that are used for social gatherings, perhaps another reason why it is so popular. <br /> <br /> Buya City, the capital, lies on the border of the territory. The northern gate leads to the [[Buyan gathering]], which houses horses which facilitate rapid travel across the lands of [[NexusTK]]. The western gate leads to the [[Vale]], a somewhat frightening [[player-kill]] area through which the [[Mythic Nexus]] is reached. The eastern gate leads to the [[Islets]], a dangerous but beautiful land that borders [[Koguryo]] and the [[Ogre]] city of [[Hamgyong Nam-do]]. The southern gate leads to the north-west section of the [[Wilderness]] between [[Buya]] and [[Kugnae]].<br /> <br /> == History ==<br /> The Buyian territory is an autonomous outpost of the [[Han]] empire, gifted to the brilliant Regent-General [[Aino Senshi]], a Buyian native. The Capital of Buya is Buya City; however, &quot;Buya&quot; is often used to refer to either the territory or the Capital.<br /> <br /> Buya was built up prior to the [[Great Shift]] as a magnificent, opulate palace town. The streets were paved, the Palace rested in the center of a magnificent lake, and ornate statues filled the land, but the population was small and few people spent much time in Buya. King Senshi had suffered tremendous heartbreak and homesickness at being apart from his beloved (Lasahn's mother), and so too did his mood affect the townspeople. Rarely were the streets filled with song; most Buyian Citizens kept residence in Koguryo, which was a livelier town with more amenities.<br /> <br /> Around Y19 or so, Buya was attacked, alongside Koguryo, by Sagu and his minions, during [[The Shattering]]. This upheaval led to the appointment of a temporary Leader of State, Prince [[Beanbag]], who would handle affairs in Buya similar to the arrangement made between King [[Yuri]] and his son [[Mhul]] in [[Koguryo]]. Beanbag served diligently for several years as the search for an eventual successor to Senshi occured within the Imperial Court.<br /> <br /> During the [[Great Shift]] of Y23, the system of dams and levees containing the palace lake burst, flooding the capital with mud and burying the city's magnificent walls, statues, and paved roads. However, Buya gained significant territory in this geographical upheaval, including the [[Arctic Land]], [[Arctic Village]], [[Northern Pass]], [[Sanhae Village]], [[Islets]], and [[Mt. Du]]. Citizens of Koguryo were suddenly interested in Buya's more condensed streets, smaller size, density, and urban lifestyle. The [[Shaman]] and [[Muse]] circles, displaced by the Great Shift, reopened in Buya. The [[Heavens]] and [[Phoenix]] clans also relocated from Koguryo.<br /> <br /> However, the icing on the cake of modern Buya truly began when General [[Lasahn]] Ling Chun of Han led an expedition of Han Imperial Scouts on a mission that sent them through the capital. Senshi's joyousness at the reunion with the daughter he never knew he had began a boom in Buyian culture and population. Lasahn was appointed to rule in her father's stead and thus tipped to eventually succeed the throne. Population and cultural growth in Buya continued.<br /> <br /> Between Y24 and Y27, animosity grew between Buya and its neighbor Koguryo, fueled by jealousy from Kogurians at Buya's newfound dominance. The anti-Buyian movement was fuelled largely by Primogen [[Genji]] of the [[Sun Moon Sect]] and would eventually lead to the seperation of Kogurian and Buyian tribunals. Anti-Buyian vandalism and rallies by Sun Moon members was a common occurance. In Y27, Buya's government was enraged by the appearance of Prince Mhul at the end of a Buyian Tribunal, where he insulted Lasahn. The two powers went to war, but the ensuing bloodbath was interrupted by the appearance of [[KaMing]], the Sonhi troops, and the Zibong, who had been impersonating Mhul to bring the nations to war.<br /> <br /> Reunited in the face of a common enemy, Buya and Koguryo realized they had been tricked and as a result called an immediate armistice, soonafter signing a [[Treaty of Alliance]]. While no victory in battle was accomplished, Buya soon emerged the dominant region in population, culture, and economy.<br /> <br /> Time passed, and many more events befell the Nexus, and by extension, the people of Buya, but the city itself was not again directly imperiled until the Spring of Y41, when, in a daring, unprovoked raid, the [[Sonhi]] stormed and captured Buya City, holding the Imperial Court and Princess [[Lasahn]] hostage. Buya's huge population was forced into exile, but the refugees were welcomed with open arms by Prince Mhul and the people of Koguryo. The Clans and Subpaths which had called Buya home set up temporary shelters within Koguryo as the allies pondered their next move. Finally, an underground network of tunnels deep into Buya City and the Palace complex was discovered, and citizens were able to aid the captive guards and Princess. Information from spies reached Kugnae that the Sonhi had begun an excavation of the Buya Library. However, once they found what they were looking for, the Sonhi mysteriously vacated, and the allies quickly retook the city. The information unearthed deep within the [[Buya Library]] eventually led to the discovery of the [[Armor of the Winds]].<br /> <br /> Buya had escaped the conflict undamaged, and its citizens returned to their homes to continue life as usual. However, this peace would not last long. In Y46, Buya and Koguryo were invaded by hordes of powerful Wind Gods, which overtook places which in the past had been safehavens, such as Subpath Circles. Buya City and Kugnae were virtually destroyed by the ensuing onslaught of powerful attacks and heavy winds, which ceased only when Princess [[Lasahn]] slew the final Wind God on the steps of the Buya Palace. In the wake of this disaster, both kingdoms established a joint fund and undertook a tremendous rebuilding effort, which rebuilt both Kugnae and Buya in unparalleled splendor.<br /> <br /> Since its redevelopment, Buya City has been a thriving cosmopolitan metropolis which continues to grow. The Kingdom of Buya has also seen tremendous growth in the towns of [[Kimchon]], [[Naju]], and [[Tok-do]].<br /> <br /> == Politics ==<br /> &lt;b&gt;KING&lt;/b&gt;: King &lt;b&gt;Aino [[Senshi]]&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;b&gt;HEAD OF STATE&lt;/b&gt;: Princess &lt;b&gt;[[Lasahn]] Ling Chun Senshi&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;b&gt;HEAD OF MILITARY&lt;/b&gt;: General &lt;b&gt;AceoStar&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;b&gt;REGENT OF SANHAE&lt;/b&gt;: &lt;i&gt;Position Vacant&lt;/i&gt;<br /> <br /> While King Senshi is the ruler of Buya, most of the policymaking is left to his daughter, Princess [[Lasahn]]. A number of administrative duties are divided amongst ministers of the Imperial Court and the [[Buyian Imperial Army]]. The BIA concerns itself with defense and administration of all Buyian territory.<br /> <br /> Sanhae is governed by a Regent appointed by the Princess, but the position is largely ceremonial as the Mayor of Sanhae is granted autonomy in most affairs. Although Sanhae lies at the strategically important Northern Pass, it is well-guarded by both the BIA and the [[Do]], and thus the vacancy of this post is not an issue of wide concern.<br /> <br /> The three subpaths which reside within Buya -- the [[Muse]], [[Shaman]], and [[Do]] subpaths -- are given free apolitical autonomy by the Imperial Government, although they are on good terms. Clans are required to swear loyalty to Buya and must keep their halls and, if applicable, militias within Buya City under close scrutiny of the Buyian government. Those clans that have militias offer them as important auxillary to the Buyian Imperial Army during times of crisis.<br /> <br /> Buya is party to a Alliance of Treaty with Koguryo and a Nonaggression Pact with Nagnang. Buya also possesses an [[Buya Emergency Charter|Emergency Charter]] with provisions for invasions or attacks on the capital city.<br /> <br /> == Population ==<br /> Buya is the most populous kingdom in the Nexus. Citizens Buya (both the city and country) are referred to as Buyians.<br /> <br /> The populace of Buya is diverse and well-rounded, with the majority of inhabitants of Buya City (the most populous single city in the Nexus) residing within its many Clans and taverns. The Clans of Buya include [[Heavens]], [[Phoenix]], [[Lost Kingdom]], [[Dharma]], and [[Elendhirin]]. A smaller number of people also live within Buya City in the [[Shaman]] and [[Muse]] Circles, which also house a large number of non-citizens who reside in Buya. Members of the [[Buyian Imperial Army]], the Imperial Court, and the Royal Family take residence in the [[Buya Palace]] at the center of town.<br /> <br /> The largest Buyian towns outside of Buya City are the suburban communiteis of [[Kimchon]], [[Naju]], and [[Tok-do]]. The mining village of Sanhae and the Arctic village also house small populations; Sanhae is the closest town for many residing in the nearby [[Do]] Circle.<br /> <br /> == Culture ==<br /> The Buya Palace is home to a central Library and Theater, which are important civic buildings. The Palace itself contains much public space, including a [[Secret Garden]]. For sporting events, Buya City is home to the [[Bloodlust]] arena as well as the [[Fox Hunt]] Stables. Buya City is also home to the [[Shaman]] path and the [[Muse|Muse Guild of Buya]], which contribute greatly to the multicultural flavor of the capital.<br /> <br /> Outside of Buya City, but within Buyian territory, lie several more tremendous venues. The [[Islets]] are home to both a magnificent outdoor public amphitheatre and the adjacent [[Garden of the Muses]], which features a theatre with balcony seating and dinner sets (as well as specially brewed Tea); it is also home to the Muses' library and classroom, where they host Muse College classes. Further south in the Islets lie the spirit gardens of the [[Shaman|Shamans]], where rituals are performed and knowledge is stored. Local entertainment is also prevalent in [[Kimchon]], [[Naju]], and [[Tok-do]].<br /> <br /> Sanhae and the Arctic Village are also home to smaller cultural venues, including the [[Sanhae Hall]], [[Kamchatka Ballroom]], and training grounds of the [[Do]], whose neutral circle also lies within the territory.<br /> <br /> == Creatures ==<br /> * [[Blue rooster]]<br /> * [[Cat]]<br /> * [[Deer]]<br /> * [[Doe]]<br /> * [[Fox]]<br /> * [[Horse]]<br /> * [[Mouse]]<br /> * [[Rabbit]]<br /> * [[Rat]]<br /> * [[Snake]]<br /> * [[Squirrel]]<br /> * [[Wolf]]<br /> <br /> == Hunting areas ==<br /> <br /> Most of the caves in [[Buya]] are similar to those in [[Kugnae]]. The notable exception is [[Sute's cave]], which exists in [[Buya]] only.<br /> <br /> {|<br /> |-style=&quot;background:silver&quot;<br /> | Area || Location || Prerequisites<br /> |-<br /> | [[Buya rat cave | Rat cave]] || 0015 0077 || Level 3<br /> |-<br /> | [[Buya rabbit cave | Rabbit cave]] || 0111 0125 || Level 9<br /> |-<br /> | [[Buya fox cave | Fox cave]] || 0124 0143 || Level 20<br /> |-<br /> | [[Sute's cave]] || 0103 0022 || Level 28, [[Sute dye]]<br /> |-<br /> | [[Buya haunted house | Haunted house]] || 0009 0065 || Level 36<br /> |}</div>

If an enemy troop consisting of many soldiers breaches the palace grounds, all patrols are to immediately fall back to and seal the Palace.<br /> **# &lt;b&gt;Breach of Palace&lt;/b&gt;: If said intruder is not halted and breaches security at the Palace courtyard, security is to increase at the sealed upper floor. If an enemy troop successfully breaches the Palace, all defense must focus on the Command Post at the Tribunal Hall.<br /> ** &lt;b&gt;B. Situation of Total Invasion&lt;/b&gt;: If the palace is successfully breached by any enemy troop or, in certain cases, a special operative or specifically dangerous threat, a Situation of Total Invasion will exist. In a Situation of Total Invasion, the Princess or General may give the order to evacuate at any time. The Princess must remain secured in one of several emergency chambers until it is safe for her to evacuate.<br /> ** &lt;b&gt;C. Evacuation&lt;/b&gt;: If the order of Evacuation is given, all troops must immediately aid in the effort to evacuate the Princess and commanding officers from Buya. Evacuation of the Palace may be done by way of the escape tunnels beneath Buya.<br /> **# &lt;b&gt;Command Posts&lt;/b&gt;: When the Princess, General, and commanding officers have successfully evacuated, command of the Buyian army will be established at Sanhae. If the situation in Sanhae is also dangerous, asylum may be requested within an ally of Buya.<br /> **# &lt;b&gt;Regency&lt;/b&gt;: All rules of evacuation apply to the Regency of Sanhae and Sanhaen militia in the event that Sanhae, but not the capitol of Buya, comes under attack.<br /> <br /> <br /> May these guidelines never be neccesary.<br /> <br /> ~Princess Lasahn~&lt;br&gt;<br /> ~Head of State of Buya~&lt;/i&gt;</div>

It is not known whether Lasahn has any half-siblings in Han.<br /> <br /> == History ==<br /> <br /> === Parentage ===<br /> Aino Senshi, an acclaimed General and tactician, was a native son of Buya before he left to serve the Han Emperor. His bravado and strategic brilliance in service of the Han led the Emperor to personally offer the hand of one of his most beautiful cousins in the Imperial Court: Yun Ling Chun. The two fell in love and were married in summer, but the political situation in Buya had grown dim; the King was ill and his advisors were making power plays. The Han Emperor dispatched Aino and his legion to Buya to maintain order; as time lingered on, he did not return. Yun Ling, presuming that Aino had been killed in battle or simply abandoned her, became bitter and fled to the countryside, where she gave birth to his child. She would later learn that the King of Buya, who had no heirs, had, on his deathbed, willed that Aino Senshi succeed him; however, she refused to join Senshi at the Buyian Court, feeling he had betrayed her by leaving in the first place. Having lost his beloved, Senshi governed effectively but sank into a deep, depressive pain of the heart.<br /> <br /> === Childhood ===<br /> Lasahn Ling Chun was raised in the court of the Han Emperor, who supported her and her mother, who had become distant and bitter. From an early age Lasahn displayed an interest in swordplay, often skipping dancing classes to train in fencing with the boys. Not content with merely studying the ways of tea ceremony and poetry, Lasahn trained with master Qi Lao of the Imperial Court, learning sword technique and martial arts; she quickly excelled. It was in this training that she met her fiancee, Xiou Ling Shen, a boy several years older than her.<br /> <br /> When Lasahn was in adolescence, the passion between her and Xiou Ling grew, and they became engaged. He had quickly risen through the ranks of the Imperial Army, but their summer love was cut short by news of a series of raids from [[BlueStone]]'s pirates on the Southern Han coast. Xiou Ling's regiment was dispatched to the next city expected to be hit by the pirates; he was to be commander on his first mission. Xiou Ling Shen did not return. The pirates invited the Commander to a parlay on which peaceful negotiations were to be made; they then ambushed him and murdered him in a most dishonorable way. The news devastated Lasahn, who to this day has a deep-seated hatred of pirates.<br /> <br /> === Adulthood ===<br /> Having lost her first love and fiancee, and barely on speaking terms with her embittered mother, Lasahn poured herself into her work, quickly becoming one of the most talented and recognized young members of the Han Tigress Army. Although her mother had concealed the details from her, Lasahn's teacher Qi Lau knew of her father's deeds in protecting the people of Han and Buya, and revealed to her the identity of her father. After a successful campaign in defending Han from the marauding [[Sonhi]] under [[KaKhan]], Lasahn was promoted to General in the Han Tigress Army and gifted the Star Tigress Armor by the Han Emperor himself.<br /> <br /> Lasahn's fate changed with a new assignment. A series of water sources on the Buya-Han border had been poisoned, resulting in local illnesses and deaths, and the Emperor dispatched Lasahn's legion to investigate. They found an abandoned Sonhi camp at which they rested, and during the night were attacked by Zibong. After a vicious overnight battle, the Zibong were driven back and the wells purified, but Lasahn's regiment had been reduced to a mere expeditionary force. Seeing an opportunity as well as a necessity, Lasahn sent her emissary [[Laza]] ahead to request assistance and lodging for her troops, and headed to Buya... to meet her father.<br /> <br /> Aino Senshi, still painful at the memory of his beloved Yun Ling, initially treated Lasahn with kind but deliberate distance, but he warmed up to her quickly. When [[KaMing]] requested asylum in Buya from the Zibong, Senshi appointed Lasahn Head of State of Buya in order to deal with the situation; opinions were sharply divided on whether the Sonhi were in need of aid or were plotting an invasion once they were allowed in the Kingdom. Lasahn quickly earned a reputation as a stateswoman and diplomat by allowing [[KaMing]] to build a [[Sonhi Encampment]] in a desolate part of the Buyian territories, thus granting asylum without jeapordizing the safety of the citizens of Buya.<br /> <br /> Upon her permanent appointment as Head of State of Buya and Heiress to the Throne, Lasahn adopted the last name &lt;i&gt;Senshi&lt;/i&gt; after her father, becoming &lt;b&gt;Lasahn Ling Chun Senshi&lt;/b&gt;. This is frequently shortened, especially by Lasahn herself, as &lt;b&gt;Lasahn Senshi&lt;/b&gt;.<br /> <br /> Lasahn only occasionally returns to her homeland of Han; the most memorable visit home was in Yuri 29, when her mother, Yun Ling Chun, passed away. Upon her return she penned a thought-provoking memoir about her mother and her personal grief and distributed it to her people, so they might know that she too was one of them.</div>

<p>Kiyone: /* Politics */</p> <hr /> <div>[[Image:Buya.jpg|thumb|150px|right|Map of Buya (circa Yuri 24)]]<br /> <br /> [[Buya]] (pronounced Boo-Ya), a kingdom of [[NexusTK]], is the largest kingdom in terms of population. The city of [[Buya]] is also has the largest population of the three main cities, [[Buya]], [[Kugnae]], and [[Nagnang]]. [[Buya]] can be selected as a starting location for new characters.<br /> <br /> [[Buya]] is perhaps the most populated city because everything is very easy to access there. Most buildings of importance are right next to or very near one of the gates of [[Buya]]. [[Buya]] also has many spots that are used for social gatherings, perhaps another reason why it is so popular. <br /> <br /> Buya City, the capital, lies on the border of the territory. The northern gate leads to the [[Buyan gathering]], which houses horses which facilitate rapid travel across the lands of [[NexusTK]]. The western gate leads to the [[Vale]], a somewhat frightening [[player-kill]] area through which the [[Mythic Nexus]] is reached. The eastern gate leads to the [[Islets]], a dangerous but beautiful land that borders [[Koguryo]] and the [[Ogre]] city of [[Hamgyong Nam-do]]. The southern gate leads to the north-west section of the [[Wilderness]] between [[Buya]] and [[Kugnae]].<br /> <br /> == History ==<br /> The Buyian territory is an autonomous outpost of the [[Han]] empire, gifted to the brilliant Regent-General [[Aino Senshi]], a Buyian native. The Capital of Buya is Buya City; however, &quot;Buya&quot; is often used to refer to either the territory or the Capital.<br /> <br /> Buya was built up prior to the [[Great Shift]] as a magnificent, opulate palace town. The streets were paved, the Palace rested in the center of a magnificent lake, and ornate statues filled the land, but the population was small and few people spent much time in Buya. King Senshi had suffered tremendous heartbreak and homesickness at being apart from his beloved (Lasahn's mother), and so too did his mood affect the townspeople. Rarely were the streets filled with song; most Buyian Citizens kept residence in Koguryo, which was a livelier town with more amenities.<br /> <br /> Around Y19 or so, Buya was attacked, alongside Koguryo, by Sagu and his minions, during [[The Shattering]]. This upheaval led to the appointment of a temporary Leader of State, Prince [[Beanbag]], who would handle affairs in Buya similar to the arrangement made between King [[Yuri]] and his son [[Mhul]] in [[Koguryo]]. Beanbag served diligently for several years as the search for an eventual successor to Senshi occured within the Imperial Court.<br /> <br /> During the [[Great Shift]] of Y23, the system of dams and levees containing the palace lake burst, flooding the capital with mud and burying the city's magnificent walls, statues, and paved roads. However, Buya gained significant territory in this geographical upheaval, including the [[Arctic Land]], [[Arctic Village]], [[Northern Pass]], [[Sanhae Village]], [[Islets]], and [[Mt. Du]]. Citizens of Koguryo were suddenly interested in Buya's more condensed streets, smaller size, density, and urban lifestyle. The [[Shaman]] and [[Muse]] circles, displaced by the Great Shift, reopened in Buya. The [[Heavens]] and [[Phoenix]] clans also relocated from Koguryo.<br /> <br /> However, the icing on the cake of modern Buya truly began when General [[Lasahn]] Ling Chun of Han led an expedition of Han Imperial Scouts on a mission that sent them through the capital. Senshi's joyousness at the reunion with the daughter he never knew he had began a boom in Buyian culture and population. Lasahn was appointed to rule in her father's stead and thus tipped to eventually succeed the throne. Population and cultural growth in Buya continued.<br /> <br /> Between Y24 and Y27, animosity grew between Buya and its neighbor Koguryo, fueled by jealousy from Kogurians at Buya's newfound dominance. The anti-Buyian movement was fuelled largely by Primogen [[Genji]] of the [[Sun Moon Sect]] and would eventually lead to the seperation of Kogurian and Buyian tribunals. Anti-Buyian vandalism and rallies by Sun Moon members was a common occurance. In Y27, Buya's government was enraged by the appearance of Prince Mhul at the end of a Buyian Tribunal, where he insulted Lasahn. The two powers went to war, but the ensuing bloodbath was interrupted by the appearance of [[KaMing]], the Sonhi troops, and the Zibong, who had been impersonating Mhul to bring the nations to war.<br /> <br /> Reunited in the face of a common enemy, Buya and Koguryo realized they had been tricked and as a result called an immediate armistice, soonafter signing a [[Treaty of Alliance]]. While no victory in battle was accomplished, Buya soon emerged the dominant region in population, culture, and economy.<br /> <br /> Time passed, and many more events befell the Nexus, and by extension, the people of Buya, but the city itself was not again directly imperiled until the Spring of Y41, when, in a daring, unprovoked raid, the [[Sonhi]] stormed and captured Buya City, holding the Imperial Court and Princess [[Lasahn]] hostage. Buya's huge population was forced into exile, but the refugees were welcomed with open arms by Prince Mhul and the people of Koguryo. The Clans and Subpaths which had called Buya home set up temporary shelters within Koguryo as the allies pondered their next move. Finally, an underground network of tunnels deep into Buya City and the Palace complex was discovered, and citizens were able to aid the captive guards and Princess. Information from spies reached Kugnae that the Sonhi had begun an excavation of the Buya Library. However, once they found what they were looking for, the Sonhi mysteriously vacated, and the allies quickly retook the city. The information unearthed deep within the [[Buya Library]] eventually led to the discovery of the [[Armor of the Winds]].<br /> <br /> Buya had escaped the conflict undamaged, and its citizens returned to their homes to continue life as usual. However, this peace would not last long. In Y46, Buya and Koguryo were invaded by hordes of powerful Wind Gods, which overtook places which in the past had been safehavens, such as Subpath Circles. Buya City and Kugnae were virtually destroyed by the ensuing onslaught of powerful attacks and heavy winds, which ceased only when Princess [[Lasahn]] slew the final Wind God on the steps of the Buya Palace. In the wake of this disaster, both kingdoms established a joint fund and undertook a tremendous rebuilding effort, which rebuilt both Kugnae and Buya in unparalleled splendor.<br /> <br /> Since its redevelopment, Buya City has been a thriving cosmopolitan metropolis which continues to grow. The Kingdom of Buya has also seen tremendous growth in the towns of [[Kimchon]], [[Naju]], and [[Tok-do]].<br /> <br /> == Politics ==<br /> &lt;b&gt;KING&lt;/b&gt;: King &lt;b&gt;Aino [[Senshi]]&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;b&gt;HEAD OF STATE&lt;/b&gt;: Princess &lt;b&gt;[[Lasahn]] Ling Chun Senshi&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;b&gt;HEAD OF MILITARY&lt;/b&gt;: General &lt;b&gt;AceoStar&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;b&gt;REGENT OF SANHAE&lt;/b&gt;: &lt;i&gt;Position Vacant&lt;/i&gt;<br /> <br /> While King Senshi is the ruler of Buya, most of the policymaking is left to his daughter, Princess [[Lasahn]]. A number of administrative duties are divided amongst ministers of the Imperial Court and the [[Buyian Imperial Army]]. The BIA concerns itself with defense and administration of all Buyian territory.<br /> <br /> Sanhae is governed by a Regent appointed by the Princess, but the position is largely ceremonial as the Mayor of Sanhae is granted autonomy in most affairs. Although Sanhae lies at the strategically important Northern Pass, it is well-guarded by both the BIA and the [[Do]], and thus the vacancy of this post is not an issue of wide concern.<br /> <br /> The three subpaths which reside within Buya -- the [[Muse]], [[Shaman]], and [[Do]] subpaths -- are given free apolitical autonomy by the Imperial Government, although they are on good terms. Clans are required to swear loyalty to Buya and must keep their halls and, if applicable, militias within Buya City under close scrutiny of the Buyian government. Those clans that have militias offer them as important auxillary to the Buyian Imperial Army during times of crisis.<br /> <br /> Buya is party to a Alliance of Treaty with Koguryo and a Nonaggression Pact with Nagnang. Buya also possesses an [[Buya Emergency Charter|Emergency Charter]] with provisions for invasions or attacks on the capital city.<br /> <br /> == Population ==<br /> Buya is the most populous kingdom in the Nexus. Citizens of Buya are referred to as Buyians.<br /> <br /> The populace of Buya is diverse and well-rounded, with the majority of inhabitants of Buya City (the most populous single city in the Nexus) residing within its many Clans and taverns. The Clans of Buya include [[Heavens]], [[Phoenix]], [[Lost Kingdom]], [[Dharma]], and [[Elendhirin]]. A smaller number of people also live within Buya City in the [[Shaman]] and [[Muse]] Circles, which also house a large number of non-citizens who reside in Buya. Members of the [[Buyian Imperial Army]], the Imperial Court, and the Royal Family take residence in the [[Buya Palace]] at the center of town.<br /> <br /> The largest Buyian towns outside of Buya City are the suburban communiteis of [[Kimchon]], [[Naju]], and [[Tok-do]].

<p>Kiyone: /* Adulthood */</p> <hr /> <div>Princess Lasahn Ling Chun Senshi is the Head of State of Buya. She performs all functions of leader in place of her father, King Senshi. She is a gifted warrior as fluid in court ceremony and protocol as she is gifted with a sword.<br /> <br /> Lasahn's weapon of choice is an Electra. She was raised in the Court of Han, where she learned her strangely emphatic way of talking. (Example: &quot;Your transgressions shall !not! be tolerated!&quot;)<br /> <br /> == Family ==<br /> &lt;b&gt;Father&lt;/b&gt;: King &lt;b&gt;Aino [[Senshi]]&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br&gt;<br /> &lt;b&gt;Mother&lt;/b&gt;: &lt;b&gt;Yun Ling Chun&lt;/b&gt; (Deceased)&lt;br&gt;<br /> <br /> Lasahn's mother was a third cousin of the Emperor of [[Han]]. It is not known whether Lasahn has any half-siblings in Han.<br /> <br /> == History ==<br /> <br /> === Parentage ===<br /> Aino Senshi, an acclaimed General and tactician, was a native son of Buya before he left to serve the Han Emperor. His bravado and strategic brilliance in service of the Han led the Emperor to personally offer the hand of one of his most beautiful cousins in the Imperial Court: Yun Ling Chun. The two fell in love and were married in summer, but the political situation in Buya had grown dim; the King was ill and his advisors were making power plays. The Han Emperor dispatched Aino and his legion to Buya to maintain order; as time lingered on, he did not return. Yun Ling, presuming that Aino had been killed in battle or simply abandoned her, became bitter and fled to the countryside, where she gave birth to his child. She would later learn that the King of Buya, who had no heirs, had, on his deathbed, willed that Aino Senshi succeed him; however, she refused to join Senshi at the Buyian Court, feeling he had betrayed her by leaving in the first place. Having lost his beloved, Senshi governed effectively but sank into a deep, depressive pain of the heart.<br /> <br /> === Childhood ===<br /> Lasahn Ling Chun was raised in the court of the Han Emperor, who supported her and her mother, who had become distant and bitter. From an early age Lasahn displayed an interest in swordplay, often skipping dancing classes to train in fencing with the boys. Not content with merely studying the ways of tea ceremony and poetry, Lasahn trained with master Qi Lao of the Imperial Court, learning sword technique and martial arts; she quickly excelled. It was in this training that she met her fiancee, Xiou Ling Shen, a boy several years older than her.<br /> <br /> When Lasahn was in adolescence, the passion between her and Xiou Ling grew, and they became engaged. He had quickly risen through the ranks of the Imperial Army, but their summer love was cut short by news of a series of raids from [[BlueStone]]'s pirates on the Southern Han coast. Xiou Ling's regiment was dispatched to the next city expected to be hit by the pirates; he was to be commander on his first mission. Xiou Ling Shen did not return. The pirates invited the Commander to a parlay on which peaceful negotiations were to be made; they then ambushed him and murdered him in a most dishonorable way. The news devastated Lasahn, who to this day has a deep-seated hatred of pirates.<br /> <br /> === Adulthood ===<br /> Having lost her first love and fiancee, and barely on speaking terms with her embittered mother, Lasahn poured herself into her work, quickly becoming one of the most talented and recognized young members of the Han Tigress Army. Although her mother had concealed the details from her, Lasahn's teacher Qi Lau knew of her father's deeds in protecting the people of Han and Buya, and revealed to her the identity of her father. After a successful campaign in defending Han from the marauding [[Sonhi]] under [[KaKhan]], Lasahn was promoted to General in the Han Tigress Army and gifted the Star Tigress Armor by the Han Emperor himself.<br /> <br /> Lasahn's fate changed with a new assignment. A series of water sources on the Buya-Han border had been poisoned, resulting in local illnesses and deaths, and the Emperor dispatched Lasahn's legion to investigate. They found an abandoned Sonhi camp at which they rested, and during the night were attacked by Zibong. After a vicious overnight battle, the Zibong were driven back and the wells purified, but Lasahn's regiment had been reduced to a mere expeditionary force. Seeing an opportunity as well as a necessity, Lasahn sent her emissary [[Laza]] ahead to request assistance and lodging for her troops, and headed to Buya... to meet her father.<br /> <br /> Aino Senshi, still painful at the memory of his beloved Yun Ling, initially treated Lasahn with kind but deliberate distance, but he warmed up to her quickly. When [[KaMing]] requested asylum in Buya from the Zibong, Senshi appointed Lasahn Head of State of Buya in order to deal with the situation; opinions were sharply divided on whether the Sonhi were in need of aid or were plotting an invasion once they were allowed in the Kingdom. Lasahn quickly earned a reputation as a stateswoman and diplomat by allowing [[KaMing]] to build a [[Sonhi Encampment]] in a desolate part of the Buyian territories, thus granting asylum without jeapordizing the safety of the citizens of Buya.<br /> <br /> Upon her permanent appointment as Head of State of Buya and Heiress to the Throne, Lasahn adopted the last name &lt;i&gt;Senshi&lt;/i&gt; after her father, becoming &lt;b&gt;Lasahn Ling Chun Senshi&lt;/b&gt;. This is frequently shortened, especially by Lasahn herself, as &lt;b&gt;Lasahn Senshi&lt;/b&gt;.<br /> <br /> Lasahn only occasionally returns to her homeland of Han; the most memorable visit home was in Yuri 29, when her mother, Yun Ling Chun, passed away. Upon her return she penned a thought-provoking memoir about her mother and her personal grief and distributed it to her people, so they might know that she too was one of them.</div>
