Rising

The end of an empire is rarely for one reason. There is a culmination of bad decision imposed onto one another.

And then when the final blow is struck, the empire would crumble. And the suppression, exploitation and discrimination of the tribal people of Yan is one of the reason.

It would not be the reason why the empire would crumble. But it would be the catalyst to catastrophe.

When the empire of Yan is strong, they could suppress these tribes and make life hell and their death torturous.

This kind of measure forces the tribal people to adapt.

It forces them to bow their heads.

But this bow is no sincere and they have no sense of belonging in this empire that kills them. When they are strong, the Yan could rest on their laurels and suppress it.

But when they are weak, you must be ready for the rude awakening that is about to come.
