The many tribes of the mountain have been chased and persecuted for as long as the stories tell. Hounded into the mountains and left to scratch a meagre existence from the barren earth. This has made them a strong, resilient and resourceful people. Little is known about how or why the Tengu reached out to the tribes but the alliance has proved valuable to both sides. All the people of hill tribes are able warriors as they must be to survive in the harsh cold, when the need arises these people of snow and ice are fearsome combatants.

For centuries the Temple and the people of the Ro-Kan have lived in symbiotic harmony and for centuries the secrets of the Kami and the mountain have passed between these two allies. Misao, like all village elders has for decades made the decisions for his village and acted as apothecary using the secrets passed down from elder to elder. When his special mix of herbs, found on the mountain, are burned in his censers it clears those of aliments, clears the mind or soul. The peasants in his village follow his every word without question and although physically weak his strength lies in the wise words he draws upon to inspire those around him to great feats of combat prowess in the defence of their lands and peers.

Where the Suzume are the most common, the Kurama are a rarity at the hatching. They are the largest, proudest and strongest warriors amongst the Tengu.
