And should Discuss alliances with the Yamamoto clan Criminal Acts Perpetrated None Lore to Establish Mabaroshi-mura is a hidden wolfkin village located beyond the mist forest along the mountainside of Nan Pass in the Republic of Kuridan. The settlement is perpetually cold, mist-laden, and often snow-covered, featuring traditional Edo-period architecture with tiered construction—some buildings raised on stilts over steep slopes, others anchored into mountain ridges. Large stone wolf statues stand throughout the village as ancient markers and spiritual guardians. For generations, the Kurogami clan has protected both Mabaroshi-mura and Nan Pass Village, serving as wardens of the pass. For the past fifty years, the clan has been led by Tsukiko, an elderly wolfkin and the mate of the previous chief, gifted with postcognition. Now preparing to relinquish leadership, Tsukiko enforces strict traditions, requiring worthiness rather than bloodline alone. All warriors of Mabaroshi-mura must undergo a Trial within the mist forest, where they confront their inner “beast.” Those who succeed gain the ability to shapeshift into larger, more primal forms, a manifestation of the self they faced during the Trial. Nation of origin associated with the lore. Along with that, inside the misty forest seems to be a strange white tree, that is responsible for maintaining the trial of the Kurogami clan.

There is a strange connection to one of the very few ley lines that run along the edge of the Republic. https://www.roleplayerguild.com/posts/5644298 [/img]https://i.imgur.com/ciQJxeh.png[/img] PICTURES/References for the lore Partial Participants Seven Rounds MaverickSix: Lenara: 1 Full-Time Participants Seven Rounds TheTimePiece: Yukan: 3 Posts (did not enter until half way through the RP.
