Shaojin

Valley of the Damned

Kudao was a much more diverse and populated land before the horrors of Yamamura. People perished, homes were devoured and kingdoms crumbled to flames. The Shaojin Kingdom was one of those to fall victim to Yamamura. The valley was a respected ally to the Shilon empire, founded as an attempt from Shilon to expand its empire beyond the walls. It is well known that Shaojin took a toll from the war, but it is unknown what hammered the last nail in their coffin.

History

Shaojin was decimated after the battle of Yamamura while clinging on to hope, its people starved, and their lord was driven to insanity. Refusing to let his kingdom die, the young lord stumbled upon a small creature living inside a bell within a temple in Shaojin. The creature was charming and promised to grant him a wish of any kind, all he had to do was ring the bell. The young lord was persuaded, he wished for his kingdom to remain forever powerful, and rung the bell. It is unknown what happened afterward, or what happened d to everyone after the Shaojin kingdom fell to ruins, what is left is an abandoned shell of what the kingdom used to be. It is told that a demon lurks the uncanny quietness of the land that was once Shaojin, the valley that was left to die slowly, and forgotten.

Shaojin today is the most barren region of all, even more so than Surochi; a wasteland purposely forsaken. Similar to Surochi, Shaojin is a territory strongly advised not to stumble upon. Shilon has sent many troops to investigate and rescue possible survivors. There was only one who survived the trek, and that was Han Yu Shen, who ended up crawling out in absolute terror from what looks like to be an empty, quiet, valley.
