In the annals of Nagan lore, there exists a specter whose presence strikes fear into the hearts of those who hear his name whispered in the shadows: Ushino, the enigmatic auditor of death. Clad in a tattered black cloak that billows around the skeletal remnants of his form, he looms over a massive tome, his bony fingers tracing the lines of fate etched upon its ancient pages.
Throughout the countryside of the Nagan Empire, tales of Ushino abound, passed down through generations in hushed tones and chilling verses. He is known as the scribe of Liao, the god of death in the land of Lunora, tasked with the solemn duty of recording the deeds of mortals for judgment in the afterlife. But Ushino is no mere servant of divine will; he is a rogue spirit, free to roam the mortal realm as he pleases, his motives shrouded in mystery. Some say he is driven by a thirst for justice, seeking out evildoers to condemn with his damning quill. Others whisper of his fascination with heroism, eagerly recording the noble deeds of champions destined for greatness.
Yet, it is the tome of Ushino that inspires both awe and dread among mortals. Legends speak of those who claim to have obtained their own page from its bound depths, using it as a shield against the looming judgment of Liao. Whether these tales hold any truth or are merely flights of fancy, none can say for certain. Similarly, the Quill of Ushino is said to possess a power beyond mortal comprehension, capable of bestowing blessings or curses upon those whose names it inscribes. Whether wielded by Ushino himself or fallen into mortal hands, its influence is rumored to be both profound and perilous.
In distant lands, such as the far reaches of the Khein Dynasty, the name of Ushino is met with swift condemnation, deemed heretical by those who seek to suppress the whispers of the supernatural. Yet, despite their efforts to deny his existence, the legend of Ushino persists, his presence woven into the very fabric of mortal consciousness, a reminder of the ever-looming specter of death.
