t'was a somber morning at the High King's Palace. Gyeongbokgung it's better known as. the sun was halfway at the height of a man's head.
stood tall and brooding over a map of his domain at the wall in his chamber,adorned on it's frame by the Orient Vastland dragon's embroidery.
Upon seeing more closely, the dragon have ten talons,gripping a shield bearing 13 sigil of various color and pictured in it various kinds of animals. Frog,whitebird,wolf,swan,cat,fish,owl,hare,penguin,bat and a butterfly.
The High King,long silver-grey haired due to old age,his face is stern with faint hint of scars scattered everywhere,particularly in his right eye and right side of his face,these faint scar merging with wrinkle.
tall and broad shouldered,once muscled like a maiden's fantasy,his physique is waning due to old age,but he still stood tall unhindered.
gently stroking his long grown beard that extend down to his chest, overseeing His Realm that he conquered. whom also the land that His sons and daughters rule,since his conquest,his coronation and the old king hope, until the end of time.

first,the newly crowned Emperor's envoy usually asked for continuation of safe passage for Vastlander merchant in his trade routes,by land and sea. to be allowed to sell their wares in the Royal Cities of Suwon,Seoul and Daegu.
