Dreamer's Forest

Dreamer's of Forest was a tainted stronghold of kansen, which homed the Tower of Kelet, below which lied an abomination against nature. Mahō-tsukai wanted to enter the forest, to bargain with the corrupted spirits. The Unicorn Clan maintained a double-sided barrier around the forest, and every night, Unicorn priests walked along the deep trench dug around the forest's boundaries, chanting sacred words and waving Ōnusa wands to purify the ground. Along their path stood pairs of komainu statues, lion dogs who faced in opposite directions. As the priests approached, the statues emitted a low growl, then returned to silence upon recognizing their allies. Some komainu had been shattered, the spirit within lost. These weak points were fortified with lesser talismans that required replacement each time they were triggered by an intruder.
