The protectorate of the Ukigumo. Deep within the insurmountable bastion of the Takaikabe Mountains the stoic warriors of the Ukigumo watch the world. They are above the petty squabbles of their fellow clans, both literally and metaphorically.
The Ukigumo live in symbiosis with their falcons, building aeries that are more sacred than any temple. These aeries, combined with their arsenal of war balloons, allow them to watch over the furthest reaches of the island. The Takaikabe Mountains are riddled with Ukigumo holdfasts, many linked by zipline-like machinations that allow the clan to navigate the mountains with an eerily silent speed.
