Djil spent nearly every moment of his reign wracked with frustration, and his realm disintegrated after his death. Many demanded greater autonomy and others attempted to conquer the throne. The last Kamal Emperor, Djil Dir-Kamal, was a weak ruler who constantly faced insurrections and plots from his vassals. Many Kamal see it as recognition of their ferocity, and it only fuels their desire to invade their Tang Mo neighbors time and again. This otherworldly tenacity, alongside the inhospitable nature of their homeland, earned the Kamal the nickname of “Snow Demons ” a badge that they collectively wear with pride.
Yet the Kamal forces have never truly been vanquished, and their rulers are always planning future incursions. Few have ever been able to make territorial gains, as brave Tang Mo militia fiercely defend every inch of their islands, and strong local navies ensure that no Kamal fleet can stick around for long. Usually, only small bands of raiders and adventurers go on the offensive, hunting for treasure and slaves, but every so often, a strong, ambitious king or queen musters the warriors to launch a full-blown invasion. These campaigns most frequently occur in the warm summer months when food stores are high and the weather accommodates military mobilization. To this end, Kamal launch military expeditions whenever they can, especially against the peaceful Tang Mo. The Four Winds religion asserts that the boundless wealth of the lands to the north could be theirs they must simply take it.
Most Kamal practice the faith of the Four Winds, a religion defined not by worship or belief, but by action. Only a strong, hardy people could thrive here, but the Kamal are exactly that.
