The Murim Realm

Running from the Lotus Blossom Gate in the north, the Shadow’s Vein Road is a more mysterious and less traveled path compared to its southern counterpart. This road leads to the eerie Shadow Lotus Forest, where danger and secrets abound. Lined with dark, ancient trees and shadowy nooks, the road is often used by those with a purpose: wandering martial artists seeking hidden knowledge, spies, or individuals dealing in secretive business. It's quieter, with fewer merchants, and the air feels heavier, as though the forest’s mysteries seep into the city itself.
