History
The Himin Kingdom first started out with 2 birds struggling to survive together. One was sick and the scent of illness attracted a lot of unwanted attention. One day a snow leopard had found them and the healthy bird struggled to fight off the big cat until a strange individual appeared and killed the creature almost in one swoop. The individual told the 2 of what happened across the ocean and told them to do the same; because if more birds work together then they'll live longer and prosper. The 2 agreed and set up an area where birds from anywhere can come and seek refuge from the dangers of the mountains.
The only records of this mysterious individual was the strange eyes that seemed to emulate the moon and stars glow.
