The Xiyao are a race from the far eastern parts of Aio. They are a magical race, based on balance and tradition. They class their magic into Yin and Yang, positive and negative elements. Every Xiyao unit is capable of using one or the other, and is linked through balance to another unit. For every Yin unit created, a linked Yang unit is created. The pair shares HP and afflicted conditions. They can be physically seperated as far as needed, but any damage done to one will be done to the other. Similarly, any bonuses given to one will be given to the other. The Xiyao are also home to fierce creatures made from a strong folding material known as Kami. The Xiyao do not have a Master Unit, but have four Guardian (North, South, East and West) units to make up for it. Each of these is approximately 1/3 as powerful as a Master Unit.
Recently, the Emperor has been feeling like he was losing the loyalty of his people. They were calling him weak and unfit to rule. Rumours of an overthrow were frightening him. He decided that it was time to conquer the Western region of Aio, where his advisors have told him that great civilisations lie in a war torn land. If the Emporer can manage to conquer these civilisations, he will control all of Aio and gain the respect of all people. The wiseman Zhai Kilin has advised against it, but has said that he will side with the Emperor nevertheless. General Yi Suy has been ordered to mobilise the Xiyao forces to move westwards. Jin and the rebels have moved ahead in order to warn the people of the West.
