Forest of
Spirits
By Richard Pett
Living Legendry
In many of the nations and regions
that collectively make up the land
of Tian Xia, histories stretch back to
points so ancient that the distinction
between fact and myth blurs. From
the legendary past rise monuments
depicting fantastic heroes and strange
beings, personages none now living can
prove ever truly existed—yet who are
believed in all the same. In some places,
these figures are merely legends and
fairy tales told to children. In others,
evidence of wondrous deeds remains.
And in still others, these ancient beings
yet watch over their people, guarding
those with the faith to see past the veils
of time.
Deserving of Honor
Not all the creatures spoken of in the
tales of Minkai are as ferocious as the
dreaded oni or as protective as the
mysterious kami. Some exist merely
to exist, taking delight in life and all
the pleasures the world has to offer
while simultaneously accepting it as
it is. Among these are the raccoonlike
tanuki, jolly and clever creatures
equally as likely to wander the world in
search of new experiences as they are to
make someplace their home and enjoy
its comforts. Yet many stories warn
listeners to honor even such whimsical
creatures, as their powers make them
more than mortals, and those who
rouse their ire suffer terrible fates.
