The Ancient dynasty

What was once the Taketa Dynasty has fallen, destroyed now by the monolith's destruction. Pockets of civilization fend for themselves, holding onto ancient culture and ways of doing battle. No unified government exists and only the foolhardy attempt to wrangle in command. Here the ancient dead rise up, a dead culture striking out against the world that ruined them. Some believe an ancient, powerful empress rules these dead, but none have ever explored the ruined city of Jian to prove it.
