Empire of Etsuman
The Empire of Etsuman is the area of the Isle of Etsuman that is technically ruled by the Emperor of Etsuman, a figurehead monarch. All citizens swear fealty to the Emperor, but in reality, it is the Grand General of Etsuman who wields the power.
As such, the Empire essentially functions as a monarchy, with the Emperor ruling over the land. The Emperor is chosen by lineage, with the mantle passing to the oldest child (regardless of gender).
However, since the real power is wielded by the Grand General, the role is greatly coveted. Throughout most of Etsuman’s history, Clanmasters have fought for control of various regions, in attempts to become the Grand General.
The role of a Clanmaster is typically hereditary though in (very) rare occasions other methods of choosing a new Clanmaster are employed. Otherwise, it is not uncommon for a Clanmaster to be deposed by being defeated in battle.
The emblem of Etsuman is a black bird on a yellow background.
