Yukigakure
The Shrouded Forest of Eternal Snow
Yukigakure, the Hidden Snow, is a forest locked in perpetual winter, where silence hangs heavy and each snowflake seems alive with memory. Towering frost-laden pines and birches mark the land, and hidden deep within lie the ruins of a forgotten kingdom — temples half-buried in ice, statues bowed beneath snow, corridors lit by flickering will-o’-the-wisps. The Yurei wander these paths, guardians of secrets lost to time, their presence both chilling and enchanting. Travelers speak of illusions that twist the senses, of hearing loved ones’ voices calling from the frozen fog. Few dare enter Yukigakure, for those who linger too long risk becoming Yurei themselves, claimed by sorrow and the forest’s enchantment. Yet, for shamans, priests, and seekers, Yukigakure is sacred — a place where the veil between worlds is thinnest, and where truth may be whispered by spirits to those brave enough to listen.
