The Union
King Fhu, 459-489 was born in New Muddi Huts in the year of 427 After Departure
As a young prince he found interest in the Hind religion, something that was not well seen in the west.
He also wrote books of the native religions.
And finally a book that melted the two believes together.
This new wisdom, In the court of King Fhu was refered to as Kingfhutism. The Court of the Tamijo Family called this new believe Confucianism.
The beautiful daughter off King Fhu, was to marry a native barbarian leader, but then war broke out with other native tribes. And king Fhu decided to try and make peace with the Easter Jontafs by marriage between his daughter and the prince of the Tamijo Family. Great happiness was amongst the Jontan people who were now united again. And from now on
Both religions was accepted in every city of the Jontas.
And the wedding was held in the greatest temple the Jontas had ever build, housing the monks of both religions.

The Kentkillers
In the centuries after the Union a new class came to more and more power in the Jonta Nation
The focus was upon the aspects of warfare. So the kings came to lean on the military leader, known as the Kentkillers.
The Kentkillers was originally responsible of training the farmers and workers in the knowledge of warfare. But as time went by the army became more and more depending upon professionals.
And the upkeep of the Army rapidly grew. Hereby the Kentkillers became interested in the
governing of the Jontas, to make more and more gold coming into the army.
The Kentkillers became rich. And the political power shifted away from the Rich Landowners of the Jonta court. The Kentkillers were the unofficial leaders of the contry. And this was not a bad thing, because they knew that to expand the empire. Gold had to be spend on Bowmen & Catapults and new weapons had to be invented. In the period from approximately 500-1000 After Departure, the empire grew by conquest.
