Songshu Mountain and surrounding areas

Yun Hong

A small, simple chinese village located at the base of Songshu Mountains. It is known for its rice wines and handmade calabash flutes. Its (not very impressive) population is made out of 60% mobians and 40% humans, where 90% of these mobians are rodents. Westernization caused by foreigners ensure that this village is not swallowed by the passage of time in exchange for some of its older traditions. Every Chinese New Year, the residents of Song Shu will come down to celebrate and perform stunts and tricks for the villagers.

As it is the closest village to the Song Shu Mountains, the members of the sect comes down frequently for groceries or other miscellaneous matters. It also have inns for foreigners who cannot stand Song Shu Fu's lack of a central heating system.

Song Shu Mountain

A mountain range named after the race of the first mobians to settle here centuries ago; squirrels. Since then, the mountains are known as the birthplace of the tail-whip style of mobian martial arts. Unfortunately people realised that kungfu can never beat western guns, and the fact that you need an exceptionally long tail to learn this style, so this particular art is quickly declining in popularity amongst locals.

Allegedly, the founder of this sect disliked fancy names so they simply named the fifteen mountains in the range Mountain #1, Mountain #2.... 

Song Shu Fu

Sandy's ancestral home somewhere in the middle of the mountains. As of now only his grandfather and ten other members of the sect live here. One of Sandy's older seniors is expected to take over after his grandfather pass away. Villagers who for some reason do not trust western medicine will trek all the way up the five hundred stone steps to get traditional chinese treatment from it's members. Recently, foreigners come here more frequently in hopes of learning some sweet moves only to leave in a month or so after they learn that there is no running hot water, the electricity goes out as constantly as death, only Sandy and his grandfather's rooms have internet, and the sole form of heating in the entire place during the bitter winter is your willpower.

Traditionally, the leader is also involved in the matters of Yun Hong.

Bing Hu

A small lake in the middle of the mountains which supplies fresh water for the mountain dwellers. Just like the mountains, a certain ancestor lovingly named it after the first thing they felt as soon as they dipped their toe into the pool: ice cold. Some slightly more sarcastic villagers have taken to calling this lake a 'hot spring', much to tourists' disappointment. Mysteriously, the lake always remained just a few degrees above freezing regardless of the season. Braver (or perhaps stupid) souls have also reported hearing "some kind of voice" within its waters upon attempting to swim in this near frozen lake.
