- | The Yamataians are derived from a mixed Japanese and English culture, which is apparent in many aspects of their society. Their society itself is very wealthy, and poverty is nigh unheard of. However, they still tend to draw spite from many species due to their long and bloody history of conquering smaller nations. Their GM is [[user:Wes]]. | + | |
