Danran Priest

The Danran Priest was the name adopted by an elderly tengu, the keeper of a palace shrine on a small rocky outcropping on the cliff beneath Kyūden Doji. the shrine was consecrated to the kami of the cliff. The Danran Priest was the chief of the small group of tengu who lived in the nearby forests. He was thoroughly dedicated to the shrine's upkeep and the well-being of the mountain kami. He was an expert fencer who wielded a tsurugi, and he had only ever taken tengu as students to date, refusing even the most nobly born humans who have sought him out.
