Kami no Kuni

History
Kami no Kuni, or God's Forest, was believed to be a gift from the gods to Yan'lu. During when the nations were clans fighting for territory, the rose from the ground after a meteor struck the land. The fighting momentary stopped as the Yan'lunese people took this as a message from the gods telling to end their conflict. Little is known about god's forest as a barrier is placed around it preventing any intruder from entering. All that is known is that God's Forest is home to the strange race of spiritual creatures known as the Yokai.

Kaminoki
Kami no Kuni, or God's Tree, is at the center of the Kami no Kuni. The colossal tree can be seen miles and miles away from the forest due to it's incredible size. What is known about the Kaminoki is that it holds great arcane power that the resident yokai guard. Many of Yokai believe that the gods gave them life through the tree since their race formed when the tree emerged from the ground. However many of the residents eventually leave the tree and the forests to venture Yan'lu and usually cause mischief. Most of Yan'lu's Yokai take ugly appearances to scare away those who would venture too close or to simply have fun. Others will disguise themselves as humans and enter Yan'luese civilization.

Nine Tailed Kitsune
Kaminoki and the Yokai are under rule of a powerful and beautiful Yokai spirit known only as the Kitsune. She is a mystery to all but what is known as is that she has one daughter named Kawasaki Kiyomi who is the bastard daughter of the Emperor Kawasaki Shinato, emperor of Taiyokuni. No one knows the powers of the Kitsune but in recent years, Taiyokuni has expanded borders using counter tactics, as if he knew his enemies battle plans beforehand.
