The region under the Protectorate of Clan Yurami is one of the largest and oldest in the Nagan Empire. The Yurami clan have protected the regions relentlessly for centuries and the people of the region are very loyal and fond of the clan as a whole. They watch over many farmlands and several wilderness areas while protecting a handful of important ports for the Empire. Many across the Empire travel to see the Forest of the Five, a holy place for many and a mysterious place where pleny of strange events have taken place. Most that enter does not come back the same, it is said people get their fortune told or visions of great events in their lives. One enters the forest at their own risk.
The Hush Forest outside of Hishin
is avoided by many as it is rumoured to be haunted. Famous for being
eerily quiet, the winds are quiet and no animal sounds. Those that do
cross the forest will tell that they always felt watched while in the
forest. Even the Samurai avoid enterering the forest in belief it might
anger whatever is lurking among the trees. Others think it is a resting
place for the gods hence why it is so quiet and to distub the silence is
surely cause for eternal bad luck.
