[X] Use it where you need too, but try to keep things practical and gently guide pride toward the Empire overall (+1 Community XP, ???)
balanced approach sounds better to me

Screw the empire, it's never done anything good.

Ironically enough, the thing the emerald seas has going as an identity is the very thing Shengua brings to it: civil war and rebellion.

Put another way, Emerald Sea is the only province to have overthrown it's rulers for their failures. And it has done so multiple times.

So I kinda like encouraging that.

Uh, Ling Qi was raised out of poverty by an Imperial institution that looks for talented mortals, and she is currently a member of an Imperial sponsored institution that helps defend the ES from Cloud Nomads, which came about due to imperial intervention during Ogodei's invasion. Ling Qi is a noble due to imperial writ granted by the Throne. Ling Qi's life has been directly benefited by imperial decisions and policies.

I fear for this choice. Looking at the worst case scenarios, it is a choice between civil war, and continuing/encouraging the imperial's "civil" war.

"The Dreaming Moon, that is Grandmother, and me, we're about excellence in self, one artist sharing their vision among many, inspiring a hundred hundred copies that change the original works presentation and themes in little ways until eventually something great is born again. And it always is, folks will complain about trends but that's just the cycle art works on," Sixiang said with a shrug. "But, those great works are what Grandmother likes best yeah? It's the opposite with the dawn. I could be rude about it, but its not like they disdain quality mind, just… Dawn cares more about the inspired than the inspiration."

The relics of Weilu rule lay scattered across lands and time, some clutched to jealously, many lost, a few carefully hidden from public eye, others thrown to the pyre, and some sum forgotten in plain sight. They had many works small and large, but their grandest and most unified step taken was their first, with the only comparable echo being the Mason's War, and perhaps the conquest by the Sage Emperor. The legacy of the Weilu is in many ways something they never intended to create, even moreso for the province as we understand it, itself.

We will crack open the vaults of time and help ourselves to the wealth of the Weilu's accidental treasures, and we will fashion legacies of our own that inspire. Our great works will stir hungers in those who could not recognize their own deprivation. Once we reveal the chill of isolation nipping at every heel to the masses, the drive for the warmth of a unified identity will be a beacon leading into the future. And gracing our temples shall be the badge of our accomplishment.

Cute. Horns.

ES could do with some more unity, something they've clearly struggled with over their time in the empire. Also hopefully a measure against any provincial inferiority they've been fed from the Peaks nobility.
