Daichi Province

The Daichi Penninsula is the Northwestern most territory on the world map. It is named after the tribes who settled the large forest that covers most of the western coast.

The province itself consists of two primary sections: Daichi Forest and Haruka Plain, the grassland and tundra expanse to the east.

The only land-based provincial boundary is the Alpac Mountain range, which divides the Daichi and Almas provinces.

Acedia
The largest city of the province is not its capital, but rather the spiritual center of the territory. Acedia (also called Acedia Grove) is settled deep in the heart of Daichi Forest.



Other Settlements and Cities
In addition to Acedia, the province hosts three other notable locations: Outside of the above locations, the majority of unincorporated residents of Daichi province settle in nomadic hamlets around the Haruka region.
 * Harfjord, the Provincial Capital - Located on the Southern cliffs
 * Garrafira, a port city and trade capital - this city is a hub of travel and tourism. The cliffs of the area make it the only safe port access, and the tourism market is bolstered by the proximity to some complex ruins from ancient history.
 * Alpac, a sparse town located near a mountain pass sharing the same name. Settled mostly by soldiers and trade officials, this town was born from the need to regulate travel through the Alpac mountain range. Unpredictable weather patterns spinning off of the Almas glaciers can make travel through the pass unsafe. Trade shipments are often delayed in this area for days at a time, creating a somewhat profitable economy for travellers.

Politics
Daichi province is ruled by a militaristic empire. The current emperor is Commandant Aiko Goro.

The province is generally neutral with respect to relgiosity, and has an amicable relationship with the Covenant of the Shining Path. The covenant bishop in the area, Naomi Rin, is often found at public events.

Thanks to the difficulty to maintaining farmland in the Haruka region, the high density of shrines and aid centers built by the Covenant have become a web of worship houses and settlements for a variety of faiths and splinter groups. The military is in a constant state of display in the plains townships, ensuring that the population never rises to a rebellious state.
