Lore
The corruption hanging over the capital
Malice is a poisonous supernatural corruption that hangs over Kyoto in clouds and fog. It twists landmarks, blocks streets, and traps the people who remain.
Strange plants produce the toxic mist. Cutting them down clears parts of Kyoto and lets residents return, while Oni Strength breaks the harder barriers between districts.
