"Xin is an old land. One of strange peoples and strange customs. It is said the emperors have ruled since time and memorial. They have a strange language, laws, and writing. Even through they say the nobles are elves they are far from their old forms. They have become not just greedy but blood thirsty. They would openly wage war with the peoples of the west if given the chance."

- Shin Yandu of the Yao clan.

The Land of Xin is split into hundreds of clans. Some are large and powerful like the Yan clan and some are weak and powerless like the Shin. Now you must be asking how does the emperor keep all these warlords in check? It's simpil he takes a important daughter from each clan to be one of his wives and each must bear him a child. Of course he will have favorites and they will be groomed for rule and eventually one of them will become the next emperor but, not after killing his dis loyal siblings.

The Xin people live in a world of classes. The weak serve the strong and the strong... well they fight among-est them selves to gain more power. The 'elves' of this land have been ruling since the beginning of Xin but over time there blood has begun to tarnish they are hardly elvish save for a few clans that keep the blood lines untainted.

The xin people are also miss trusting of outsiders and have been living in isolation for thousands of years. Very few of these barbarians have been allowed inside Xin and even fewer are able to witness the majesty that is the emperor of Xin.
