Tiger Province

Tiger Province is one of the northern provinces of Nikan. It is one of the larger provinces.

History
The current Tiger Warlord is a three-year-old child, and his steward is a politician with no military experience. During the Third Poppy War, Jun Loran assumes command over the Tiger Province's forces on his behalf. The Tiger Province was heavily involved, as Khurdalain served as the chosen battle front by the Empress Su Daji.

Geography
It lies to the east of Nikan, largely separated from the Eastern coastline by the Snake Province. It's bordered by the Rat Province to the north and the Dragon Province to the south. It faces the Nariin Sea to the east, across which lies the island of the Federation of Mugen.

Three rivers weave through the province, with their mouths at the Nariin Sea: Sharhap River, the Eastern Murui, and Golyn River. All three rivers end near the port city Khurdalain, the Sharhap and Eastern Murui merging at the mouths.

Khurdalain
Khurdalain is Nikan's most important port city and a thriving centre of international trade. It sits to the northeastern border of the Tiger Province. It is the only city in the Empire which regularly trades with foreigners. The Hesperian and Bolonian embassies are both located in Khudarlain.

In the Third Poppy War, Khurdalain had prime military importance. The Empress chose Khurdalain as the ideal location to establish the initial front against the Federation of Mugen. Traditionally, Khurdalain is a port city so it had little in the way of defence structure. The buildings within the city has mixed architecture from a variety of countries, owing to the different foreigners who have settled there prior to the rule of the Dragon Emperor.

Most of the people in Khurdalain make their livelihoods from fishing and factory work.
