Old Shu

"Before Khans, there was peace. There was Shu; Simpler times."

History
Old Shu, or the Shu Empire, or Shu Dynasty, was an old state that had ruled over all of the known western world, communicating and trading with the Prolesian Empire before the Collapse. Often referred to as the Shu Period of Kherjian history, the Shu were expert keepers of knowledge; noting the rise and fall of Prolesia, however unexpectedly, do not write the demise of their own nation. Kherjians who refer to Old Shu, or just the Shu, are not only referring to the state but referring to a state of mind.

The Shu Period is marked with nigh eternal peace throughout the entirety of its existence, however during the Collapse the Shu Empire faced total destruction. The replacement of the Khaganate, the Kherjian identity is flipped from peaceful to warlike. Often are the Kherjians raiding their former partners than trading peacefully.

The Old Shu Dynasty has been relegated to distant family members of Liu, whom of which is only two current members; Liu Taizong, and Liu Yu, the child of Liu Taizong.
