Haru (monk)

Haru was a monk of the Brotherhood of Shinsei in the 12th century.

Forge
Haru was a wandering monk who received a vision compelling him to journey deep into the mountains, where he would find a heavenly gift at the foot of a waterfall. A sea-colored disc laid on the bank of the small lake the stream made. Haru meditated for days until he received a second vision, which shown himself as a smith, and the disc was the anvil. The monk set about crafting a crude forge on the spot.

Water Hammer City
Mirumoto samurai offered their assistance at the behest of the Dragon Clan Champion. The settlement rapidly grew and Haru accepted his first students. All those who trained there built forges of their own around the original. A large shrine at Water Hammer City's center was built to honor the heavens.
