The Western Territories
A relatively recent addition to the Empire as it was conquered by Sun Shao under the reign of the current Empress' grandfather, it lies beyond Thousand Lakes as the western border of the Empire. The territory is comprised of a truly hellish jungle environment where cities are constantly under siege from a strong barbarian presence and the jungle itself. By all accounts nothing can live outside the walled enclaves unless it is a barbarian. The western lords are still loyal to the Empire, but there are indications this may be breaking down as they go native.The Sun Clan

Savage Seas
A province of islands and storm wracked seas to the far north of the Empire, it is the seat of the Xuan and their massive Xuan Wu. Patrolled by a large fleet of ships built using wood from the Emerald Seas and other places in the Empire, it fights off many sea spirits and barbarians living in the waters. During the Reign of Emperor Li, the Living Isle-Sublime Ancestor of the Savage Seas-gave fought off the barbarians' champion, the Father of Depths. Tsunamis, earthquakes and storms tore through harbors and shores. The destruction spread inland but the Living Isle was victorious.- Tropes
