The city of Shen'de is the Capitol of the Shen'de Territory, and the Capitol of the greater Valorostian Empire. Shen'de is home to the Imperial Palace where the Emperor resides, as well as temporary residence for the many Generals in his Court, and a home for his wives, and his servants. The Lower City of Shen'de has a good amount of Civilian Merchants seeking to profit off of the high traffic in and out of the City, and soldiers from across the Empire often visit the Capitol to receive the Emperor's blessings. The City of Shen'de serves as a common forum and gathering point for members of the Inner and Outer territories both, as well as foreigners and visitors.
The Inner Territories are the heart of Valorostia, having deep roots in the Empire and unified as one over 500 years ago. They consist of Hanleng to the North, Huoshan-Xue to the East, Zhaoze to the South, and Ganhan to the West. Up until Emperor Avar's reign, the inner territories were plagued by a beast known as the Ice Qiongqi which slaughtered hundreds of Valorostians and collected their spirits. When Emperor Avar defeated the Qiongqi, he gained control of these spirits and set them at peace. The people of the Inner Territories are spiritually linked to their Emperor because of this, and can communicate with the Emperor through their souls.
The Outer Territories are the furthest reaches of the Empire, and under looser cultural control. They consist of Cassida to the North, Yukifu to the East, Nhiete to the South, and Alkuth to the West. Alkuth and Yukifu have been conquered by the Empire for a considerable amount of time, but Nhiete and Cassida are recent conquests and politically unstable. Though the Outer Territories are often poorer, they are free from the direct link to the Emperor that the Inner Territory citizens possess.
