Q'ten Lo

Q'ten Lo is an isolationist country to the east. Compared to the rest of the world, Q'ten Lo is very Japanese in asthetic.

History
Q'ten Lo possess weapons shroud in pale flames called the "Weapons of Judgment" that can nullify the Holy Weapons skills, abilities, special effects, and accesories. The Weapons of Judgment don't, however, ignore the Holy Weapons stats. They also possess another weapon called the "Sakura Stones of Destiny" whose effects are unknown, but can be assumed to be very powerful. Their armor is very powerful, as they can easily resist attacks from upgrades Vassal and Holy Heroes but it only resists the heroes, as Alta very easily smashed through their armor.

Summary
Raphtalia's father is actually a member of the Heavenly Emperor bloodline and was inline for the throne, but abandoned the throne and eloped with Raphtalia's mother and moved to Melromarc's Saeatto territory. Sadeena, who was a Miko priest for the Water Dragon, followed them to keep them save from Q'ten Lo's shadows. Said shadows watched as the wave that hit Lurorona village, slaughtering the people and Raphtalia's parents and did nothing when she and the other survivers were captured by the slave bandits/knights. They kept further watch, ready to kill Raphtalia if she got to close to Naofumi for their liking, as her marrying and giving birth to the Shield Hero's child would very easily let her gain control of Q'ten Lo. The shadows never made a move until Raphtalia got her Miko outfit back from Glass's world. Despite being there to hear Naofumi basically say the Miko dress had nothing to do with Q'ten Lo and its customs, the shadows hidden in the village at the time took it as a sign Raphtalia declared the throne hers and tried to kill her and thus the others in the village.

Government
It also seems that their current government is very corrupt and inept, and many of the people dislike the current regime. Their ineptittude is easy to see, as they tried to kill and declare war against the Shield, Sword and Bow Heroes, the people who defeated the Spirit Tortoise, and the otherworlder who controlled the beast and stole the it's power. An action that could lead the nations of Melromarc, Siltvelt, Shildfrieden, the countries that the Spirit Tortoise raveged, the many other countries that believe in the Heroes and also the powerful nation in the world Faubley, land of Heroes, into declaring war against them.

Religion
The people do not believe in the Holy Heroes, as there legends don't exist in the country. They instead only believe in the bloodline of the Heavenly Emperor. Miko outfits are the clothes worn by the Heavenly Emperess.The people call the Holy Weapons "Spirit Implements".

Military
The country possess a secret force similar to Melromarc's Shadows (ninjas), who are very talented in their hiding abilites. They are very "honorbound" like old Imperial Japan, and commit suicide rather than surrender, screaming "Glory to the Heavenly Emperor" as they explode.
