Fa has grown strong since its refounding. Thus, for two generations, Fa has been expecting the hit. Lin would either force them into unflattering arrangements to weaken them, or they may even demand military tribute start being sent... It was just three years ago that the inevitable arrived. But things went... worse, or better, than expected - depending on perspective. the Lin court made an outrageous demand. They demanded that the military of Fa swear allegiance to the Lin emperor. This was blatantly ridiculous, even for the dramas of interstate court!
For whatever reason this had been done, war is now brewing. However, despite its inferior numbers and land area, the current Fa emperor - fourth of his line - has not despaired, as he believes the Lin is unprepared for the mercenaries he has hired from across the Fen Guxi (lit. Road of The West), and had overlooked Fa's increasing trade with the land-bridge they border, and thus have de facto control over.
Due to this trade, Fa has become wealthy, enough to enhance its military capacities. Furthermore, they have been blessed in the latest generation with the so-called Divine General Zhao Jiugong, a common-born man with absolute loyalty to the Fa emperor and an incredible mind for war and diplomacy both. He is also a powerful noble, who personally runs the Fortress City of Mazan.

As of 336 DW, as a result of the debacle at the Interstate Council, war has been declared between Lin and Fa. Little information is known, but the Divine General of Fa, Zhao Jiugong, has secretly sent his daughter - and only heir - away to the west. He hopes to protect her from direct combat, believing she is not as absolutely as prepared as she could be.

Also as of 336 DW, the population of Fa is estimated to be 80 000.
