Social Relations
In this age of fragile peace, scarred by the recent Great Chi War, the very fabric of the hidden ninja society feels taut, stretched thin between hope and despair. The world operates under the pervasive influence of Chi – the invisible energy that dictates not just power in combat, but also social standing, daily survival, and the opportunities afforded to any soul within the vast continent. Beneath the veneer of heroic ninja duty and ancient traditions lies a current of darkness: corrupt leaders manipulate the system for personal gain, simmering factionalism threatens to reignite open conflict, and deep societal fissures divide those blessed with Chi from those left without. Navigating this complex web of alliances, hierarchies, and resentments is a constant struggle, where personal connections, demonstrated strength, and village loyalty determine one’s path through a world teetering on the edge.
