Ivory Kingdoms

The Ivory Kingdoms consist of a collection of smaller principalities (with the rulers bearing the title of Raja) united under the rule of the Maharaja. Inspiration for this region has been drawn from the historical culture and mythology of India.

The Ivory Kingdoms have been identified as being located to the southwest beyond the Shadowlands. The Naga once inhabited this region but fled north after the First Burning of the World. Tales of a 'Cult of the Destroyer' continue to draw refugees from that race into the extreme south.

In rokugan, stories of the Ivory Kingdoms include reports of assassins who leave burning footprints and ruthless warriors known as Kshatriya who wield strangely curved swords.

The Crane and Mantis currently foster trade with the Ivory Kingdoms and they have been granted an ambassador in the Emperor's court.
