The Kin-Sol

The Kin-Sol are a small tribe from the north of Hogni Island famous for their incredible ability as warrior monks. Until the Neo-Camvonian occupation, the Kin-Sol had their own small state. Accordinng to their tradition, it existed before the Imperium, and its ancient, formalized, traditions support that theory. The Kin-Sol are organized into five tribes, residing in one of five villages of the capital city, Cheres. Each of the five tribes elects an Elder, who goes to Cheres to take part in a ruling council. In addition, each of the five tribes must send 1/10th of their infants to Cheres to train to form an elite warrior-monk army. These monks train from birth to be both fully in tune with the natural world (They worship nature as one all-encompassing being) and channeling this energy to become an elite fighting force. The monks are feared all over the world, but never do anything but protect their homeland, and never hire out as mercenaries. The Kin-Sol number around 200,000, of which 98,000 are in Cheres and the rest are in the villages. There is almost no class distiction, save that the monks are venerated above anyone else, including the Elders.
