Danshapu (IPA: /danʃapu/, Native language: Danshapu, IPA: /danʃapu/), officially the Country of Danshapu, is a country located in the Draconic Islands just at the tip of Northeastern Nagu. Its closest neighbors are Astalva and Syoranka. The archipelago has for centuries been home to the Danshahi people, a community of island dwellers known for their unique religion based around the worship of the elements of Nature. The country is also known as a loyal ally and friend of Qonklaks, who functioned as an adoptive parent to Danshapu following the end of centuries of isolationism.

Etymology

The name comes from the verb "danshaja" meaning "to serve". The people believed themselves to be servants of the elements, and thus called themselves "Danshahi" or "servants". The -hi suffix, meaning "people", was replaced with the -pu suffix, meaning "land" to form the name of the country, literally meaning "Land of the servants".

History

Prehistory

Very little is known of the ancient Danshahi. Modern historians speculate that humans came to the islands from Soltenna, during a period of great cold. The first settlements would have been on the East coast of Anopu Island, yet as they expanded west, the largest settlements came to be the ones surrounding Mount Cesoku, especially Runqepu.

It is not known when the Danshahi began worshiping the elements, yet it is undeniable that even back then this peculiar religion was already practiced to some extent. In fact, many historians believe that the growth of Runqepu may have occurred due to its proximity to Mount Cesoku, a place of great religious importance, where religious rituals often took place. There is no doubt, however, that the worship of all elements took place everywhere on the island, with religious divides only taking place much later.

Ancient history

The Danshahi were, at this point, one united tribe, with one culture and one religion. The Danshahi tribe had their main settlement on Runqepu, and had began spreading throughout the rest of the island. As they did, certain communities began focusing their culture and beliefs on a particular element, their faith changing their customs and traditions (and vice-versa).

This caused a major issue when the Shamans, preachers of the faith, decided to elect the elements of Rock and Earth as the primary focus of the faith, the patron elements of the Danshahi people. These elements had in fact become the main focus of worship on Runqepu and as such, the Shamans residing in the capital believed this to be a reality for all the Danshahi.

This decision caused great outrage throughout the island and and tensions began to rise, reaching their peak around the 62nd century, when the Shamans decided to enforce their decision, and convinced the leader of the tribe to pass a law forbidding the worship of any other element. This triggered the First Elemental war, one of the bloodiest of all Danshapu civil wars.

First Elemental War

Main Article: First Elemental War

The first elemental war, which took place in the 62nd century, forever changed the culture and inner politics of Danshapu. During the war, the people of each region began organizing into clans, together with others who believed in the same element. The goal of the war was to either for one clan to unite the Danshahi under the the worship of one element, or to guarantee the rights of a clan to worship a different one.

The war lasted for several years, during which some clans were almost annihilated, and the general population of Danshapu plummeted. One of newly formed clans were the Su Clan, a clan of people who worshiped nature, animals and plants. This clan gave great value to life, and as such, didn't want to win the war, only to preserve their beliefs, while avoiding as much bloodshed as possible. They organized an impressive defense, supported by their recent settlement on a second island (Sunuxipu).

Following their victory, the Su clan reformed the society of Danshapu, dividing it permanently into clans, allowing each of them to dedicate themselves to a particular element. They then assigned land to these clans, guaranteeing there would be no conflict between people of different beliefs. From this decision resulted the initial 8 clans:

Land assigned to each clan at the end of the First Elemental War.
Note: Not all parts of the 2 largest islands were inhabited, but the treaty still attributed them to one clan)

The Su clan became the ruling clan, the chief of which would also fill the position of Taytho of Danshapu, ruling over all of the clans from a neutral city which would be founded on the newly discovered island of Juzpu. This city became known as Tayozepu, meaning "High Chief's Seat". The faith, the shamans who previously caused the war, became the Hi clan, and were given the tiny island of Xijitepu. The small Ge clan wasn't given any land at first, and instead lived in the capital, functioning as the royal guard and royal army of Danshapu.

This was the beginning of the Su Dynasty, the first dynasty to rule Danshapu. Following the coronation of the first High Chief, Oletho I Midsu, the country entered a period of exploration, inspired by the recent discovery of more islands by the Su clan. This lead to small settlements being built on almost all islands of the archipelago. However, full scale colonization had to be delayed due to the low population of the country following the bloody and violent war. With many clans on the brink of extinction, some islands (particularly the Ajitepu Islands), were even ignored, being claimed by some clans, but settled by none.

Government

In the past the nation was ruled by the High Chief and his "Right Hand". Some High Chiefs also kept councils which included important people such as the commander of the royal army or the master of finances. The chiefs of each clan were considered vassals of the High Chief during these times. However, following the 4th elemental war, all High Chiefs kept a council composed of 16 representatives, one from each of the clans, called "The Chief's Hand" and this council governed the country, effectively reducing the power of the High Chief. However, he still kept some powers, like the power to start wars, dissolve the council, replace members on it and to choose the leader of the council, the new post of Prime Minister. Following the 5th elemental war, which opened the country from isolation, the High Chief further lost the power to replace or choose members of the council. The council itself was replaced with the "Funtayge" (The High Chief's Hand), a parliament where the number of representatives is based on the population size of the clan they represent. The clan with the smallest number of representatives is currently the Yi clan, and the largest number belongs to the Me clan. Even though the clans technically no longer exist, the areas previously owned by them still have a very strong identity of belonging to said clans, and the representatives vouch for the interests of those provinces.

Each province is divided into voting zones, each with approximately the same population (using the Yi province as a standard for the amount of people in each zone). Elections are then held locally, and the candidate with the highest number of votes becomes the representative of said voting zone in parliament. The High Chief still possesses the power to choose a member of parliament to be the Prime Minister. Despite this, a member of the party with the highest number of votes is usually chosen.

The Funtayge is currently populated by an overwhelming majority of members of the Progressive Modernist Party. The current Prime Minister, Uetho Vali, is a member of this party.
