~Yaoguai~
On the edge of China near the East China Sea, in the city of Hangzhou, there is a district called, “Yaoguai.” The locals who live there call it, “the demon’s playground.” Late at night when the sun peeks from under the mountains, other unearthly beings begin to emerge.

History
It began in 2070 BC, the Xia Dynasty where the origins of first dynasty and the oldest of scrolls were believed to have started from. There were two tribes; Xia and Nine Li. Constantly fighting with each other for the sake of conquering the land. The ruler of the Xia tribe; Yu the great, a man who was known to have been able to prevent the land from flooding by digging canals, redirecting the water, as well as removing a mountain. He was known after this great feat to have gained the title as well as the basis of the ethics, “hard work pays off.” Chiyou ruled over the other tribe, he was known to be a tyrannical sort of brute. He was a powerful man however had an undesirable trait; greediness. Eventually he was caught during one of the battles between the Yan empire, and was executed.
However deep hidden within all this chaos, were the mythical creatures of China; Yaoguai. Various spirits of strange appearance that were rarely seen by the humans who live here. They witnessed the rise and fall of each dynasty, the fall of both tribes, the rise of the dynasties that followed.
Now the year is 1368, the Ming dynasty has started. away from all the conflicts of war, the creatures of whispered tales have begun to appear.
