Description
Sokenzan is inhabited by akki, yamabushi shamans, as well as bandits and ronin (masterless samurai) ruled by the bandit king, Godo. At its heart are the Tendo Peaks, where the Yuki-onna roam freely.
Shinka, the Bloodsoaked Keep, is also located within the range. There Hidetsugu and his o-bakemono practised the summoning of oni.
The guardian dragon of the Sokenzan is Ryusei.
Locations
Godo controls a territory of the mountains on towards the south. His territory shares northern borders with Akki controlled territory,[2] and with Towabara. His border with Towabara is broken up by a number of natural rock formations.[3]
- Ganzan Pass. A treacherous pass through the Sokenzan Range; means “rock-cut”.
- Shinka Keep. An ogre-mage hermitage.
- Tendo Peaks. The impossibly steep, spire-like mountains in the heart of the Sokenzan Range.
- Sokenzanshi, a hardy, self-reliant city built right into the sides of the mountains.[6]
