Metin2 - Empires
Shinsoo Empire
The Shinsoo Empire lies in the South of the continent. The main activity of its people is trade.
Created by Yoon-Yoing after the disintegration of the old empire, trade in the eastern region became a profitable business. Shinsoo's conflicts with the western empire endangered the trade route. When they discovered the danger caused by the Metin Stones, the mercenaries took up arms. Their goal is to defend against the western attacks, reopen the trade route and reunite the old empires into a single Empire of their own.
Chunjo Empire
The Chunjo Empire lies in the West of the continent. It is a theocratic empire ruled by its spiritual leaders.
Founded by Yoon-Young, one of the cousins of the former emperor. His wife's vast magical powers helped him discover the danger of the Metin Stones in time. On countless occasions he recommended taking safety measures against the Metin Stones but was not heeded. So he led his army in a rebellion against the old empire. After the disintegration of the old empire, Chunjo is still engaged in open battle with the Empires of the East and South.
Their goal is to take control of the entire continent and defeat the growing power of the Metin Stones.
Jinno Empire
The Jinno Empire is located in the East of the continent. This empire was founded on military power and its people are aggressive and warlike.
The leader of the Jinno Empire is Ee-Ryoong, son of the former emperor. He believes he can reunite the old empires using his army.
Fears about the involvement or adverse effects of the Metin Stones were officially ignored, but Ee-Ryoong secretly tries to find a way to use the deadly power of the Metin Stones for military purposes.
