Feng Dynasty

 * Lore: In 1634 BC, there was a time where China was divided up into nine provinces by ancient explorers. One was a mythical place called "Qing" (Shandong) by its inhabitants. In the Qing province, lived a somewhat large tribe of people called the 'Hsi', meaning "West Wind" in their language. They were named this due to the fact they were the western most major tribe associated with the peninsula. In the Qing Province, the mostly isolated tribes stuck amongst themselves in the peninsula, they had developed a title within the last hundred years called the "Four Winds" (a title the Hsi held proud of), marking the four most major tribes (who built the major cities) in their associated regions to represent the four directions. The other three was the Tung, the Pei, and the Nan, all representing the East, North, and South regions respectively. A young man named "Feng Qiang" (Qiang Feng in the western structure, since surnames come first in the east) worked as a owner of a large business within the city of Hsiqing (notice the play on 'Seeking'). He was raised by his father, a blacksmith, who invented a new type of sword with a recently discovered type of metal (by the tribe) called "Iron" (mysteriously imported from the west) that later became a wide producer within the tribe of the city. Feng Qiang was a fairly handsome young man who recently reached his early-20s (born 1660 BC) and had taken over the business after his father died in 1639bc. In early 1638bc, a young princess, who recently turned 17, of the tribe explored around the city and discovered him. After being curious, she interacted with him and almost immediately fell in love a bit after. She begged her father to marry him, but her father relented, saything that she needs to be "bethrothed" to the young man of the Pei tribe to unite their tribes. When his daughter argued, the father gave up and said that "if he slay the dragon that terrorized the West Winds, he will be able to rule". When the young princess returned and confessed to Feng Qiang, he reluctantly accepted her love, but was told he should slay the Dragon of the West Winds. Feng felt stunned, the Dragon of the West Winds was a local legend within the region, made to terrorize little children in the city that the Dragon will attack if anyone had not done their part too many times. Feng gathered a team of mercenaries and friends (including his "lover" against her father's orders) of 6 people to help search and defeat this dragon. It was unknown if he actually found and/or defeat this dragon, but he returned to the city in late 1637 bc with a bloody horn he claimed to come from the dragon. He was married to the princess eventually by the dawn of 1635 when the princess' father died and became the King of the Hsi. However, he had gotten lazy and by 1634, another Dragon, as records claim, had attacked the city in "revenge" (although it may not be the case). The dragon had ravaged the Western lands and burned many of the minor tribes surrounding the Hsi. After defeating the dragon, the minor tribes begged Feng to incorporate them into his realm to be rebuilt. He finally accepted and founded the Feng Dynasty we know of by 1600.
