The Land of Dragons
The Land of Dragons is an imperial kingdom, based on ancient China, featured in Kingdom Hearts II and based on Disney's thirty-sixth animated feature, Mulan. The Land of Dragons has an oriental atmosphere, characterized by harmony with nature. Nomura chose it for its unique atmosphere, and had already wanted to use it for while.[10] After a border skirmish heralds the impending invasion by the Huns, the country rapidly prepares for war, conscripting young men from every family. Unfortunately, the dark heart of the leader of the Huns, Shan-Yu, has allowed him to take control of the Heartless and lead them in his invasion.[52] There is an encampment that serves as the center of military activity in the area. A nearby checkpoint leads to both the Imperial City and a mountain village. The summit of the snow-capped mountain is the entryway for invading armies.
