The Sunlit Empire

Summary
The Sunlit Empire is one of the primary civilizations in A Tale of Lost Swords. They are one of the most advanced "countries" in the story, having raised their entire city into the sky through an intricate series of magical and technological systems. Their name comes from their city's eternal easterly movement as fast as the sun can move across the sky, floating high above the clouds, always shone upon by the light of the sun.

They are peaceful and against warfare, content to simply float through the skies and traverse the world. They have no means of warfare or weapons.

Or so they claim. In truth, they are simply fearful of damages to their flight systems that a war could potentially cause, and so they avoid direct conflict. But in secret, they train agents like Sen in arts of subterfuge, politics, assassination and more, all to bring down any target that threatens them.
