Campaigns

There's only one here now, so that should probably be just "Campaign," but who really cares, huh?

Bend the Leaves of Jonquil Low

In the small village of Jonquil, disaster as struck. Ten Thousand Thunders, the local god of storms and weather, has fallen mysteriously silent, despite the prayers and offerings of the villagers; now, a drought threatens the land, and no one can think how to stop it.

All is not lost, however. The young village priestess, Glance Pleases the Child, has received a vision while praying, and now stands outside the village boundaries, carefully watching any travelers that pass by, a dousing stone dangling from her fingers.

Characters

  • Glance Pleases the Child : A young priestess and tender of the shrine to Ten Thousand Thunders. Her name is actually a title of honor, given to all women of her family that come to serve the god. Glance, like all the priestesses of her line, has minor prophetic powers; Ten Thousand Thunders awakens the Essence and bestows gifts on his caretakers. Her dousing stone, a teardrop-shaped piece of black jade, is her most prized possession.


Notes

Some of the phrases used for chapter titles, as well as inspiration for various other things, were taken from traditional haiku found here. Some of the authors used were, in no particular order: Basho Matsuo, Etsujin, Murakami Kijo, and Shiki Masaoka.
