Description: From the sun sprang forth numberless rays, and those rays of light cascaded down to the earth to form the things we percieve--rocks, trees, and animals. Finally, his rays bred the greatest of all--men. But men never truly die, and their soul lives on, but they must be treated with the utmost of respect in order to truly enjoy the afterlife. Thus, all the highest kings arranged for their love ones to bury them with all their worldly goods intact, and to build ever more sumptuous and grand tombs. For to walk the afterlife with nothing else to comfort you would be a terrible thing. Thus, this nation began only as a small tribe following a peculiar cult in the mountains, but it grew, for each king was determined to assimilate more and more wealth to build ever more grand tombs. Normal citizens can only afford modest tombs, and the peasants, nothing at all. Some simply labor on the king's great tombs, then hope to be buried alongside him as his servants in the afterlife. Others, resigned to their fate as insignificant, work on the terraced farms that stretch high up into the snowy mountain peaks. And a few privelidged ones serve in the high palace of the Sky Gods, upon the mightiest mountain in the world. The nation may wither and die, but their mausoleums will dwell on forever, with traps for the unwary thief, and their descendants tending to the tombs and praying for the souls outside. For to anger the "dead" Sky Gods would be a terrible thing indeed. The Sky Gods with a lust for plunder and conquest made a union through a royal marriage between Taruq and the Sky Gods. They for several turns devastated the border nations until they empire split and crumble. Now they are up to their usual business.

With a thirst for plunder and conquest that could not be quenched, the Sky Gods arranged a royal marriage to the royalty of Taruq. The united nation then for several turns devastated the border nations of the cradle, until their empire split and crumble. Now, they have resumed expansion, and continued building more and more tombs, as the nation reaches new heights.
