The Lyucu

The Lyucu are a hardy, nomadic, and warlike people from the continent of Ukyu-Gondé. Their society is built around military prowess and a deep connection to their flying, fire-breathing war beasts, the garinafins. Their invasion of Dara presents an existential threat to the Dandelion Dynasty.

Details

The Lyucu culture was forged by the harsh, unforgiving landscape of their homeland. Their society values strength, discipline, and conquest, with a social structure based on martial skill. Their entire way of life and military doctrine is founded on their mastery of the garinafins.[TWOS-48]Their long-planned invasion of Dara began decades earlier, when Pékyu Tenryo deceived and enslaved Emperor Mapidéré's lost expedition, using their knowledge to build an invasion fleet.[TWOS-49]During their occupation of parts of Dara, the Lyucu were split between two factions: the hardliners, led by the fanatical Cutanrovo Aga, who sought to erase all Dara culture; and the accommodationists, led by Goztan Ryoto, who advocated for a more pragmatic approach. This internal conflict, combined with a crippling addiction to a substance secretly supplied by Empress Jia, led to their eventual collapse from within.[TVT-25][SB-37][SB-39]
