Settings
Sealed Shrine
A forgotten temple deep within Iron Valley's caves, where luminescent moss paints everything in ghost-green and the goddess Akari's spirit whispers through water that has not moved in centuries.
Iron Valley Dojo
A training hall carved into living rock, where rejected blades line the walls like tombstones and dust motes dance in slanted light that never quite reaches the corners.
Purification Battlefield
A scorched plain at Iron Valley's edge where Kurogane's army waits in perfect stillness, their armor reflecting blood-red sunset as if the sky itself remembers the slaughter to come.
