A potter of Chedoru named Jo He Ting created a set of eight magical bowls for the imperial court. Anyone who ate from the bowls was bestowed with clear thought for an hour after using them. Emperor Wai Chu Doang was killed by poison while using the bowls. After the death of Wai Lo Yan, one of T'u Lung's most long-lived emperors, the only heir was his daughter Wai Yeh Ying. Tradition meant that she should have been made emperor but the nobles of T'u Lung instead made her regent until Wai Lo Yan's nephew came of age. After 242 years of conflicts and incursions with Shou Lung, diplomatic overtures were made and major invasions ceased. Despite this, Shou Lung continued to send small forces into T'u Lung on a regular basis, justifying these intrusions as hunting fleeing criminals.
T'u Lung was split into six provinces, each ruled by a hereditary governor. The Emperor of T'u Lung was the overall leader but his power was diminished by the numerous wealthy noble families that controlled the various offices across the country. In order to gain support for his rebellion against the north, Emperor Shin Gisen had given power to the wealthy noble families. However, after T'u Lung was established as its own nation, it became near-impossible for the Emperor to regain this power.
Several centuries later, the noble families still held a lot of power to the extent that the Emperor couldn't enforce his edicts without consent from the majority of nobles. The majority of humans and Dwarves of T'u Lung share racial characteristics like epicanthic folds, brown eyes, and fine, straight black hair.T'u Lung people were also known to be slightly taller with thinner cheekbones than the humans in neighboring lands.
The most common language spoken in T'u Lung was Common but other languages also exited such as Kao te Shou. Local accents and dialects of Kao te Shou were numerous and varied greatly across the country. T'u Lung did also have its own unique language, also named T'u Lung, but this was probably not commonly used.

Shou
After the Emperor Shou Lung died before naming an heir, civil war broke out between the north and the south. The northern factions backed Shin Lu, while the southern lords of T'u Lung backed Shin Gisen. Two years later, Shin Gisen was made Emperor of T'u Lung and the nation was officially founded. Emperor Shin Rokan tried to remove power from the barons and increase taxes. He was soon assassinated by Wai Long Hwa, who proclaimed himself Emperor. Some of the powerful noble families made alliances and seceded from the Emperor and the period of the "Three Kingdoms" began.A potter of Chedoru named Jo He Ting created a set of eight magical bowls for the imperial court.
