Yamato

The Moonlit Grove is a sacred gathering place deep within the village, where the Okami commune with nature and the spirits. This serene, enchanted forest clearing is bathed in a soft, ethereal glow from the full moon that always seems to hang above it, no matter the time of month. Massive ancient trees form a protective canopy, and a natural spring at the center of the grove provides crystal-clear water, said to have healing and spiritual properties. The grove is used for ceremonies, rituals, and training in the arts of hunting and survival. Okami elders pass down wisdom, while young Okami warriors often begin their journey here, receiving blessings from their ancestors. The atmosphere is calm yet alive with the presence of spirits, and the sounds of wolves howling in the distance echo through the air.

A moonlit clearing surrounded by towering ancient trees, with a sparkling natural spring at its center, softly illuminated by an ever-present full moon, under a blanket of twinkling stars.
