A place of willow trees with medicinal recipes carved as pictograms, where swimming races are held through rivers infested with tiger fish. Where people sustain themselves on giant salamander soup and Siltgrain. A world of water and strife, where a single life is less than worthless. A world so vast that the Dwang Polyarchy’s invasion was simply swallowed demographically, despite winning every battle.

Where giant geese are mounted in the Western Reaches, and children watch the quake ponds to spot incoming earthquakes. Want more Infinite Ashes?
