“Celebrate in the light, for you have been afforded its grace.”
A message from Lore Master Mei
Dear player, I welcome you to the world of Zhen’jia, where magic and science intertwine, where the gods walk the earth alongside you. This world has a terrible and accursed past, its lands war-torn and broken with the weight of what once was. And yet, today, none of that is not your concern— for you are the lucky few who may witness the critters who go unseen, the ones who sing in the dark.
You will be playing an Ember: a caretaker of the place they call the Crimson Isle. Tonight the four moons above align with the setting sun, and the Sen’kai, mystical creatures of the earth, roam the grounds again for the first time in many years. They have sent you into the depths of the Heiwana Forest, a place thrumming with power and mystery, to witness the creatures’ celebration first-hand. Will you uncover the knowledge they believe is buried in these hallowed grounds

“Some say that the Heiwana Forest holds power. Power beyond understanding, sensed only through instinct, shadows in the corner of your eye. Some whisper that there are secrets that lay within those hallowed lands, beneath the red-hued trees, buried deep in the dirt.
Few have ever truly discussed the creatures that refuse to be seen, the lights in the night that avoid mortalkind. Fewer have actually witnessed them– those beings that enchant and enamour, that fuel one’s spirituality– for they are tricksy ones, these lovers of the leaves, the pure, the children of soul.”

They say the truth is as follows: once every seventy-seven years, when the night stands fair and the four moons are in syzygy with the setting sun, when the leaves grow still and the creatures neglect their nocturnal duties, that is when the Sen’kai make merry, grow wild, and allow themselves the delight, the indulgence, to return to what they once were.
