description:

the samguk sagi is the historical record of the 3 kingdoms of korea. sam(三): three; guk(國): nation; sa(史): history; gi(記): record;

in the rp, this will be used as a collection of canon details

when a king decrees that it is time for a child of theirs to find a spouse, the palace will hold a competition where families of nobles will send in a daughter or son to win the chance of becoming a royal’s spouse. depending on your character’s background and age, users are welcome to have their character gone through this process.

palace maids are considered the king’s women and forbidden from having a romantic relationship. the only exception is if the king takes interest and makes them their latest concubine. this rule still stands on the island, but the king isn’t on the island so o_o what he doesn’t know won’t hurt him

all characters can read or write historically women of lower classes specifically (some upper class women too) were not given proper education. however, for the purpose of roleplay, all character have the ability to read and/or write they just might not be highly educated depending on their status. users also have the option to make their character illiterate if they wish.

the state religion is buddhism for all three kingdoms, but shamanism and confucianism still plays a heavy influence. being superstitious is normal and common. users can implement this detail into their character if they choose to do so.

gisaengs were hired to entertain both men and women of the upperclass. historically, gisaengs were women entertaining upperclassmen, but not in the rp.
