Kingdom of Ka

Overview
The Kingdom of Ka is based around an arena combat system, in which the entire society is organized into arenas and league-type groupings of arenas. Rule is secured by victory in combat.

The various levels of government are mostly independent. Higher level governments do not usually interfere with internal matters of the lower levels.

War and Fighting is intrinsic in the culture. They are unified as one people, and their wars are in a sort of friendly and ritualistic way. They do have wars over disagreements, but these are usually small events, between the personal armies of political office-holders. Their religion demands several ritualistic wars at various intervals.

As a result of countless millennia of high death rates, most sentient species on Ka have high reproductive rates, short gestation periods, short infancy periods, and some have started giving birth in litters. Species on Ka are mostly medium to large.
