The Acolytes of Akai are a devoted sect of hengeyokai druids who believe in the profound connection between nature and spirituality. The group is led by Madame Sakura, who escaped from the slave trade as a child and was rescued by rogue woodland spirits in the Tani Mountains. From that moment on, Madame Sakura grew deeply fond of the Sakura Spirit Woods and its spirits. She believes that the forest is home to the true embodiment of Akai, the great woodland spirit, and that its essence is the ultimate arbiter of truth and morality.
Madame Sakura's Acolytes of Akai are a tightly-knit group of druids who dedicate themselves to protecting the Akai forest and its inhabitants. The group includes Madame Lee, a wise and revered elder who specializes in herbal medicine, Akio, a fierce warrior and defender of the forest, and Madame Yuu, a skilled healer and empath who uses her abilities to communicate with the woodland spirits.
The Acolytes of Akai are known for their fierce devotion to their cause, often going to great lengths to protect the forest and its inhabitants. They can be found throughout the Y’azi Empire, spreading their teachings and recruiting new members. The group operates in secret, often using their knowledge of nature to remain undetected by their enemies.
Despite their secretive nature, the Acolytes of Akai are known for their compassion and selflessness. They offer aid to anyone in need and use their powers to heal and protect those who cannot protect themselves. Their ultimate goal is to spread the teachings of Akai and promote the balance between nature and civilization.
