Hi! I guess i’ll take this opportunity to fangirl over Kogon.

Kogon is the oldest government surpassing the height of the Giants who were defeated by Alerïa. Unlike the Giants, the Kogon continued to prosper and to this day, have remained unconquered.

Geography

Kogon is located between three seas: the Navoi Sea, the Kogon Sea and the Astrapian Sea. The Astrapian Mountains block Kogon from the rest of the region and has been a protective factor since no one has ever been able to cross the Mountains. a few Alerïan kings/queens have tried to conquer Kogon at the seas, but the sea serpents/dragons harbor there protecting the land. There is an opening by the Kogon Sea but the desert makes it difficult for those who seek to cross into Kogon.

Religion

The Kogon believe that water is the source of life. And that through her humans emerged. She is the Mother, who nourishes and provides sustenance. Hence, when a child is born, he is placed in the water for a few seconds and is baptized. When a person dies, the body is casted away into the ocean to return to the Mother. At the Summer Solstice, the Kogon celebrate their New Year and make offerings to the Mother. They throw their offerings into the sea for her to collect and save for their afterlife.

The Kogon believe the world will end in water. That the ice will melt and land will drown. During that time, The Kogon Warriors and Emperors who are frozen at the Cave of Takai will rise again and become the army of the Mother. The warriors will ride the Sea Dragons and protect the Mother. And the bodies of the Kogonenese that were buried in the water will be awakened by the Mother to serve her.

Politics

The Emperor (male or female) rules the land. He/she has a court of advisors including a guard. It is the duty of the court to offer counsel. When an emperor dies, the crown is passed onto the his/her first born son. Unless their is a claim made by another. In this case, the ‘usurper’ can fight for the throne. fighting means one must die and whoever lives takes the throne.

Kogon is strict about who it lets in and who it lets out. They have isolated themselves and their resources to protect from outside influence and threats.

Kogon Warriors are a class of warriors that defend the emperor and their home at all cost often sacrificing their own life. They are fierce, resilient and untamed.

Culture

Kogon culture is highly influenced by its religion. Mothers are the most respected in society and are seen as the wisest. Kogonese eat a lot of seafood, rice and noodles. The land is rich and excellent for harvesting and domesticating. Many of the poor are farmers. Green tea is a staple in every household and is often served to guests. Volcanic eruptions are considered a punishment sent by the Mother. Most children dream of becoming Kogon Warriors to defend the Mother, to wield a sword and to ride a sea dragon of their own. Kogon celebrations are a great joy. They usually include lanterns, fireworks, drums and dragon costumes.

Fashion

Men and women wear the Hanfu. Women wear it in light shades such as pastel pinks, baby blue or mint/pistachio. Wealthy usually carry an umbrella. The poor wear straw hats. The women usually leave their hair down but married women keep their hair in an updo. The men keep their hair long, sleek and matties men tie it back into a bun. kogon Warriors wear steel armor and carry a katana with a sea dragon insignia. The color scheme is Oxford blue, white and silver which are the colors of the Kogon flag and the Imperial Palace.
