But they soon found themselves migrating to the south. Deep into the dark and icy waters of the Antarctic continent. It is here that they began to slowly settle and found a small empire in the ice and snow of the south. They hunted and fished for their food. They lived a hard, scrabble existence, but they survived and slowly grew. Their technology was amplified by passing trade ships that would come each year bringing news of other lands, and new ideas and technology. Soon, iron and steel forges began to appear and society had progressed to domesticate animals, thereby eliminating the need to hunt exclusively for meat. More and more time was being devoted to the Bushido, or the Way. The Bushido began to encompass every aspect of J'ardai life, and every citizen was expected to wake every morning and to pursue whatever the occupation was, to perfection. The art of war was brough from the north, from the lands of their former homeland where martial arts were first introduced. They learned what they could from travelling Japanese. Like them, they were deeply interested in the spiritual applications of the Way, in conjunction with a warrior's lifestyle. Slowly, the Bushido grew into more than a way of life, but a style of society and government.
