Lore

Ishinomori Shrine is an ancient mountain shrine established during the late Heian period at the base of a spiritually receptive mountain. Rather than existing as a militant or combat-oriented shaman site, the shrine was founded to preserve long-term spiritual harmony through ritual continuity, human–spirit mediation, and careful stewardship of the land.

For most of its recorded history, Ishinomori Shrine remained removed from major shaman conflicts, including the Shaman Fight. This prolonged era of uninterrupted practice and isolation is known as the Long Quiet, during which the shrine’s spiritual systems operated steadily without external interference.

Tamamo no Mae is a powerful nine-tailed fox spirit whose fate became permanently tied to Ishinomori Shrine after she was spared destruction through deliberate deception. Believed by the wider world to have been sealed at Sesshō-seki, Tamamo instead found sanctuary at the shrine, where she chose to act as its hidden guardian, preserving its stability across centuries and protecting the Ishinomori lineage from unseen threats.

Planet Chromara is the homeworld of the Chromarans, a humanoid reptilian alien race known for their biological shapeshifting abilities and adaptive coloration. The planet is characterized by its warm climate, dense jungles, and chromatically reactive ecosystems. Chromara is considered strategically valuable despite possessing limited extractable natural resources.

Throughout galactic history, Planet Chromara has avoided direct conquest through political neutrality, intelligence alliances, and its population’s ability to evade and misdirect hostile forces.

The Chromarans are a humanoid reptilian alien race from the warm, jungle-covered planet Chromara. They are distinguished by their biological shapeshifting abilities, rainbow-like chromatic markings, and large elf-like ears. Rather than relying on brute strength, Chromarans survive through adaptability, espionage, and political alliances.

Physically agile but not exceptionally powerful, Chromarans possess low-output, highly controlled ki and excel at ki suppression and infiltration. Their society is ruled by a hereditary monarchy that values intelligence and strategic foresight over raw combat ability.

Historically, Chromara maintained a mutual alliance with King Cold’s empire, providing intelligence and infiltration services in exchange for autonomy and protection. As a result, the Chromarans are regarded as elusive and untrustworthy by much of the galaxy, but have remained largely unconquered through careful adaptation and deception.
