It is a rural village that is under the rule of Jin and Mei as it's Lord and Head Priestess. It is also a place of tragedy with a very painful past due to the forest that resides beside the village itself.

## Location and General Information

Reiki Village is located at the base of a mountain far from Diamond City, as it takes a train ride from Diamond City's station to reach the village itself. It is a rural village under rule of Lord Jin and Head Priestess Mei. It is one of the primary villages in the mountains, serving as a "capital" for any small villages within it's area proximity. Behind Reiki Village's Sacred Temple lies the gate to Akumori, a haunted and cursed forest that hold the spirits of the tormented and sacrificed as well as insane murders who forever wander it's forest grounds till their dying breath known as Wanderers. Aside from the Sacred Temple that acts as a home to Jin, Mei, Young Cricket, Young Butterfly and Master Mantis, the village is generally lively with it's villagers going on their daily lives whether it's farming, hunting, smithing weapons, or living life to the fullest. Nearby Reiki Village's Sacred Temple lies a path to a small lake area with a waterfall where Mei goes to purify and meditate under. Any who enter Akumori must go to the waterfall to purify their souls as it is a rule that Mei put for the villagers when she began her reign in the village. Reiki Village is also known for their mountain apples due to how much the ground that the village is set on is able to grow sweet apples over the seasons. The village also has a cemetery that has laid to rest all soldiers and the previous Lord of Reiki that have fought and died in the Village Wars between Tsukihana and Hinode Villages to keep the peace.

During a certain time of the year, Mei hosts the Shadow Festival in the village in honoring the spirits of the deceased that have succumbed to the sacrifices in Akumori. While another time of the year honors the deaths of those who have died in the Village Wars including Mei's father Min who was the previous Lord of Reiki.
