County of Angels



The County of Angels, also known in conversation as Angeles, is a mountainous county on a western continent. The county is ruled by a chieftan, the western equivalent of a Daimyō, and The Angeleno, the western equivalent of a Kage. Angeles contains Claremont Village, a ninja village hidden in the foothills of the continent's tallest mountain. Residents of the County of Angels believe that their high elevation and tolerance of harsh weather brings them closer to angels than residents of any other county, and therefore Angeles also houses Temple Street, the spiritual center of the western continent. Claremont Village is the home of The Claremont Colleges, the continent's most prestigious academy. Therefore one of Angeles' greatest exports is education, and most engineers and doctors on the western continent originated from Angeles.
