Heaven's Nest

A small mining forbiddance in the Outer ring of Wave Crest, the town is home to the Bones to Ash group. The forbiddance was originally established in 6227 by Dà Laoban and a group of cursedefiers after rubies were found in the area. Due to the way the mountains are almost always in view, cradling the sky, they dubbed the new forbiddance "Heaven's Nest." Laoban elected to stay in the forbiddance as the first psychopomp and senior stonekeeper before passing it off to the first qualified person.

Heaven Nest's most important exports are mined gems and minerals used to maintain forbiddane spells. One of its largest factions is the Mining guild (headed by Amarillo) as a result. Outside of mining the forbiddance is also known for farming llamas and alpacas, who mostly reside in the mountains surrounding the forbiddance. Heaven's Nest is also notable for having a surprisingly diverse population for an outer forbiddance, due large in part to accepting waves of refugees over time. The newest was absorbed in 6443 and comprised of a large settlement from Gull's Rest.

### Notable Events

Heaven's Nest is founded in 6227, with Da Laoban serving as its first psychopomp an stonekeeper.

6413 Adelaide Underhill is born in Heaven's Nest to her parents.

6423 a group of cursedefiers goes to investigate reports of a half-ruined mansion on an island down river of the forbiddance. Days later only one survivor returns, who is too traumatized to report on what happened. He dies shortly after and the area is declared off limits.

6428 Following the death of their wife, Lenore, the war hero Seraph Delareina accepts a position as the forbiddance's new psychopomp. They arrive shortly after with their daughter, Montoya Cuervo.

6441 Shenyu Baosheng and his daughter Yuji arrive as refugees from Beshaba's Test.

6443

(early spring) Heaven's Nest welcomes a wave of new refugees from Gull's Rest: Including Tadgh Whelan and Stevi. Arriving shortly before them is the druid Koshi, who was separated from her group.

The Bones to Ash group is formed

Heaven's Nest is beset by a contingent of Dire and Ice wolves, despite some heavy injuries no casualties are suffered.

Heaven's Nest is invaded by an undead army, headed by Miguel Desafiante. A series of desperate battles ensues as the town attempts to evacuate. The forbiddance's psychopomp is revealed to be an angel before they fall from grace and the townsfolk go to war against the army. With the last minute appearance of the caravanners (who survived traveling over night), the forbiddance is able to repel the invaders. Town survives despite casualties.

Shalun clan

Like most Mark of the Shadow elves, the Shalun clan operates outside of the traditional politics of cities and forbiddances, instead focusing all their efforts on reclaiming and distributing artifacts regardless of territorial affiliation. Currently, the children and caretakers of the clan have set up near Hardy Harvest. Despite having to deal with xenophobia from the town, the elves have still allied with the BtA group in order to discover what has been causing violent attacks in the area. During the events of Hardy Harvest, the Shalun clan proved to be invaluable partners. Following the defeat of The Wicked Wort, they have reaffirmed an alliance with Hardy Harvest as well as the dryad Shanareen.

As a reward for their help, the Shalun clan granted each member of Bta a shadow mark: Koshi on her chest, Shenyu on his shoulder, Del on her back, and Montoya on the nape of her neck.

Yuji was 6 when this happened and watched her mother be swept away by the current, never to be seen again. It’s been 2 years since Qiuyin’s death.

After the death of his wife Qiuyin, Shenyu was left to raise their six-year-old daughter, Yuji alone in the forbiddance. Kind-hearted, protective, and melancholic, Shenyu balances raising his hell-raiser daughter and powering the protective barrier of Heaven's Nest. In the small amount of free time he gets, he gardens, paints, and studies scrolls on ancient magic to improve his power. Recently, Shenyu revealed to the group that Yuji was promised to a devil based on an old pact from Qiuyin's side of the family.

Sun in Sagittarius, Moon in Virgo, Capricorn Rising

Like so many others in this dangerous world, Adelaide Underhill dreamed of little more than the chance at a happy life. Her father was a miner, working to dig up the gemstones that powered the magical ward keeping their town safe. Her mother is the headmistress of the town’s only school, which she and Del manage together out of the family’s house. As a child Del had a rebellious streak, made worse by encouragement from aunt Lorna, but after Lorna left town without any explanation and Del’s father lost his leg in a mining accident, Del realized it was time to stop playing games and take responsibility for the people around her. Now she lives her life carefully and diligently, never taking a step forward without thinking it over again and again (and again).

However, whether by fate or bad luck, Del’s carefully laid plans have recently been derailed in a way she could have never expected. After two young children snuck off into the unprotected wilderness while in her care, Del was forced to leave town for the first time in her life. She and the rest of the search party soon discovered that the children had been lured away by a fiend named Duanalla - a servant of Lolth who had fallen out of favor with her mistress. Duanalla sought a ring that Del had inherited from her aunt, and as its magic prevented her from taking it herself she instead offered a deal: in exchange for the lives of the children and her friends Del would be expected to be Duanalla’s eyes and hands in her quest to return to Lolth’s side - whatever that entailed. Within a single day Del went from being a simple schoolteacher to a magic-wielding but her ultimate goal had not changed: to survive and protect her loved ones by any means necessary.

She was caught stealing watermelon's from Yu Xiaocao's fields.

After the locust swarm swept through Dongshan Village the emperor Zhu Junfan ordered Zhu Junyang to take over the disaster relief. When the Magistrate came to Dongshan Village to give the villagers rice she pointed out that Yu Caifeng married out of Dongshan Village so that her family wouldn't receive any rice. After they were able to prove they moved their home registration to Dongshan Village her reputation was ruined even more.

During the Wokou (Japanese pirate) invasion she went missing.
Yuan Xueyan

She is the Granddaughter of Yuan Sinian and considered one of the three beauties of the Capital City. She is first introduced at a Flower War (competition) Party. She met Yu Xiaocao when a daughter of an official tried to mock her because of her family's peasant origins. She spoke up for Xiaocao by saying "If we’re speaking about qualifications, in this entire room full of people, other than the royal princess having her own title, only Miss Yu is personally titled as a sixth-level official. Although sixth-level officials don’t amount to much in court, many of the people here have fathers and brothers who aren’t high-ranked either. She is the person most qualified to sit at the head table here."

After interacting with each other throughout the party she, He Wanning, and Yu Xiaocao became friends. Sometime later she was invited by Yu Xiaocao to be twenty percent owner of Blossoming Beauties because she liked to make her own cosmetics and the quality of them was exceptional.
Yu Ge

He is the only son of Yu Dashan and Li Guihua who is overweight and a bully to his younger cousin. He is the reason that Li Guihua beat Yu Xiaocao to death because he lied and said she stole a steamed bun that he dropped on the ground.

Hearing that Yu Xiaocao made lots of money selling her braised food he attempted to rob her but was thwarted by the [[Divine Stone]] who made him see a vision of Ox-Head and Horse-face threatening to take him to the 18 levels of hell. After enduring that experience he was like a changed person and no longer bullied people.

Later after seeing Yu Hai's family making money doing honest work he decided to try getting a job at the docks. After a few months of work he was no longer overweight and was considered a valuable employee by Brother Six.

When he decided on a wife he used Liu Muyun as reference for his future wife because she is kind and capable. One of the fellow dock workers wife had passed away and his eldest daughter took over the farming and taking care of her four siblings. It was obvious the girl was hardworking and was able to manage the household even as preteen so he decided to marry her.

Yu Xiaocao went to Yuan Sinian and asked him about this, he told her that you cannot enter Rongxuan Academy with money and reported it to the Yamen. During the court case it was found out that he hid one hundred of the taels to keep for himself.

Once the court case was over his reputation was ruined in Tangu Town and he had no chance to enter Rongxuan Academy but was also kicked out of the current Academy he attended. He travelled to the Prefectural City in hopes his bad reputation wouldn't follow him there.

Due to the locust swarm and the inflation he was forced to leave the Prefectural City and came back to Dongshan Village. On the second morning of his return he went to Yu Hai's family to pay respects to Yu Liqiu. When Zhu Junyang come over he tried to introduce himself but was rebuked with "You Bo?

While inspecting the construction at the Tangu Docks he ran into Yu Xiaocao again and was impressed with her culinary skills and personality. When he was done eating he offered to adopt her because through the many battles he had throughout his life he can no longer have children.

Yingtao

She is one of four maids that Yu Xiaocao selected when she first came to the Fang Residence when she first entered the Capital City.

After Yu Xiaocao finished her business at the Imperial Plantations she left her personal maidservants in the Capital City. After hearing from Fang Zizhen that Yu Xiaocao planned to open a braised food shop in the Jinwei Prefectural City she and Yangliu rushed there.

When she found out that Xiaocao had employed another girl around her age to run the register at the Pickled Vegetable shop in Jinwei she tried to undermine the girl. When Xiaocao found out she approached her and asked her why was she acting that way to which she replied that she felt like she was being replaced.

Once Yu Xiaocao heard this she reminded **Yingtao** that she was a personal maidservant who would follow her wherever she went while the other girl was solely in charge of a shop that was owned by her entire family. Once she heard [[Yu Xiaocao|Xiaocao's] reasoning she was deeply embarrassed towards the other girl and immediately apologized.

When Xiaocao returned to Dongshan Village she was met with Yu Liqiu being bedridden. After healing him the family notified her that her Paternal Grand-Uncle Yu Lichun was bedridden with the same illness. After healing him Yu Jiang's wife told Xiaocao about her daughter who was suffering from a severe cough and asked if she could do anything about it.

Even though the treatment of the child was supposed to be a secret word spread among the villages around Tangu Town even reaching the ears of Doctor Sun and Tongren Medicine Hall (premier medicine hall in story). Doctor Sun rushed to Dongshan Village and asked Yu Xiaocao to produce medicine at a pace that made her lose weight and burnout.

When it became too much for Yu Xiaocao to handle she gave **Yingtao** the recipes for the medicines. It took several days for her to memorize them but after she did she burned the paper they were written on and vowed that she and Yu Xiaocao would be the only two people to ever know the prescriptions.

As the Pharmaceutical workshop needed to expand once again she went from Dongshan Village to the Capital City to ask Yu Xiaocao to open a second branch in the Capital City.

After obtaining some recipes from Yu Xiaocao and seeing how successful they were he offered her a position of shareholder in his new condiment factory. (She only provides recipes while he does all the work).

Once the Zhenxiu Restaurant in Tangu Town and Condiment Factory were successful he moved his plans to the Capital City. Once established there he held a seafood auction that caught the attention of Zhu Huaiyong and Zhu Junfan. He was then ordered by Zhu Junfan to deliver braised food sauce and dried seafood every month.

## **History**

The Zhou family had three sons but the second son was killed by bandits while he was traveling. The Patriarch of the family thought this was unfair to his second son's legacy so he married a woman from a declining merchant family and had her and his first son birth a successor of the second son. Once Zhou Zixu was born his mother stepped away from the public and became the widow of the second son.

## **Trivia**

* After he became busy he was afraid that his Mother would get lonely so asked Yu Xiaocao if he could borrow Tiny (her pet roe deer) because she could refuse Tiny ran into the forest until he left. Now every time he goes to the Yu Family home the roe deer would either pee on his feet or rub grass on his new clothes.

Yeehaw

Born to two storied warriors of The Raven Queen, it surprised absolutely no one when a young Montoya declared she too would grow up to fight for Lady Death. A child of the undead apocalypse, Montoya looked at the broken world she inherited and vowed to fix it as best she could. Losing Lenore at 5, Montoya devoted her childhood to becoming strong enough to protect others, and relished in any opportunity to permanently kill the undead. Kind, loving, and well-meaning if rowdy, Montoya finally achieved her lifelong dream at 20. Despite Seraph’s objections, she'd successfully completed her training to become a curse-defier.

Her acceptance as a paladin by her goddess was practically assured, and Montoya was ready to spend the rest of her life safeguarding the living and serving her queen. Until one day the unthinkable happened- Montoya's mother Seraph, an angel in disguise, fell from grace, expelled by none other than The Raven Queen. And to make matters worse? The man who had caused this had gotten away, free to kill and hurt others without consequence. ‎‏‏‎ ‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‎‏‏‎ ‏‏‎

‎‏ Her world shattered, life in ashes, and her mother something unrecognizable, Montoya turned on her goddess, breaking off any relation to her as the spark that made the old Montoya withered and died. Fortunately, the heavens heard her cries, and Sargonnas called out to her. The god of revenge and rebirth, Sargonnas saw Montoya not as someone broken but wronged. He made her a vow, that from the ashes of her old life something new would grow, and gave her a gun, an artifact through which he could lend her his divine power. Go forth, he said, and kill the man who did this to you. Go forth, he promised, and you can find a way to bring your mother back. Gun in hand and fire in her heart, the new Montoya rose with a singular purpose: to put the man who'd done this in the ground and save her mother.
Yu Caidie

She is the only Daughter of Yu Liqiu and Madam Zhang. Unlike her Mother and Li Guihua she tries to help Xiaocao and her family, including sneaking her some boiled eggs and trying to help with housework (which Madam Zhang will not let her do).

The day before her marriage Yu Hai gifted her with jewelry and cloth that almost doubled the worth of her dowry. When her Husband came they treated her with respect because of his relationships with Fang Zizhen and Zhou Zixu.

After giving birth to Yu Fan she wasn't given proper time to rest so she is prone to illness.

After the locust swarm made its way through Dongshan Village the family visited her maternal family gifting them a full car of grains to ensure they would be able to make it through the winter. When they were about to leave her father gifted her 30 catties of green wheat because he remembered that she loved to eat green wheat porridge as a child.

In the first spring that Yu Xiaocao had transmigrated over he saved Zhao Bufan from a bear attack but was himself gravely injured. While he was recovering from the attack Madam Zhang and Li Guihua tried to sell off Xiaocao and Xiaolian to the Zhou Family as servants. When he overheard the commotion he demanded to be split from the Yu Family.

Once his family started growing vegetables and fruits he would often cover the use of Divine Stone for Yu Xiaocao even though he didn't actually know what he was hiding. (Making fertilizer as an excuse for why their plants grew so fast)

Two days before a locust swarm was going to reach Dongshan Village the Divine Stone warned Yu Xiaocao when she told her father he went to the Village Chief and told him he met an old man on the mountain who warned him about the incoming swarm. With this warning many of the villagers were able to save their crops before it happened.

Due to the locust swarm a pack of starving wolves descended the west mountain and besieged their home. With the help of Zhu Junyang and his guards they were able to successfully most of the wolves except for seven or eight of them which included the alpha of the pack. Before the wolves could fully retreat he and some members of the guards went to kill them. When the alpha realized he was going to most likely die he attacked him but was intercepted by Big Grey.

When the Wokou (Japanese Pirates) attacked Tangu Docks and Dongshan Village he and some of Jiang Meijuan's guards stayed back while the villagers fled to the cave Zhao Han had showed Yu Xiaocao.

After his father was bitten by a bear, he didn’t get treated for his severe injury and died! Older Brother was accused of stealing. After he was beaten to death by the shopkeeper, the murderer got away unpunished. His mother worked hard to support the family with her sickly body, and finally spat out blood and died in the winter when he was eight.

For his sake, Eldest Sister sold herself to be a maidservant. Afterwards, she was ‘promoted’ to be the master’s concubine by the mistress. After she got pregnant and gave birth to a child, they killed the mother and kept the child. She died at a young age.

As for him, since the age of twelve, he had been doing manual labor at the docks, barely earning enough for a living. But, when the two factions on the docks were fighting for territory, he was injured by mistake and broke his legs. Without any money for treatment, he ended up being disabled for life and could only beg for a living. On a cold winter day, he froze to death on the streets. That year, he had just turned twenty years old…

When he woke up from the nightmare, he couldn’t stop himself from crying, for fear that his current happy life was just a mirage. He feared that it was just an illusion he had before he froze to death. That morning, for the first time in his life, he, the headmaster’s favorite pupil, skipped class and fled to his family’s farmstead. He knew that, during the busy farming season, his father and second sister would stay at the plantation to supervise the autumn harvest and autumn planting.

From afar, he saw the thin and delicate yet very energetic figure of his second sister. Under the radiant morning sun, his second sister was full of energy as she directed the tenant farmers to take all the grain to the granary. Her ruddy and lively face, as well as her sweet and bright smile, warmed up his frightened and cold heart.

Yu Family (Split)

He is the Patriarch of the Yu Family. He mostly ignored the way Madam Zhang treated Yu Hai's family until they were separated. After the separation he would berate her if she tried to go to their family to take advantage of anything.

When Madam Zhang tried to extort money from Yu Xiaocao the Divine Stone made her have a nightmare where she confessed to killing his first wife. After Yu Hai, Yu Hang, and Yu Xiaocao left he followed them and saw the ghost of his first wife. He tried to apologize to her but she said "Yu Liqiu, our marital affection had already been completely wiped out when you decided to remain silent about Madam Zhang's actions toward our children. I don't care about your repentance or atonement. The best way to atone for your wrongdoings is to stop causing so much trouble for Hai'er's family in the future."

One day while he and Yu Dashan were out fishing Dashan fell into the water so he jumped in and saved him. When they returned he started coughing which later turned into a fever. The cheap Madam Zhang didn't want to spend money on a cold so the fever progressed for more than half a month. When Madam Zhang saw the he coughed up blood she thought he had tuberculosis and abandoned him in the house Yu Hai's family lived in to let him die.

When Yu Xiaocao found him she immediately went to work cleaning him and feeding him medicine. Once he was able to get out of bed he called for the Village Elder and divorced Madam Zhang fearing that if he didn't divorce her now she would kill him in his sleep one day.

He was sent to live with Yu Hai but had given up hope on living because the Doctor said he would never fully recuperate. Under the pressure of Yu Xiaocao Yu Hai and Yu Caifeng talked to him reminding him that the Doctors also said that Yu Hai would never be able to walk again after the bear attack. Once he was reminded hope wasn't lost he recovered quickly. About half a month later he could be seen strolling around the family's corn fields with his hands clasped behind his back.

Although she wasn’t satisfied with this marriage at first, she was moved by the man’s sincerity and lived with him wholeheartedly. After depending on each other for fifteen years, it had already become a habit for her to rely on him and trust in him. Now, she seriously couldn’t imagine how she would continue living without him…

## **History**

Ever since his youngest son turned five to six, his personality changed a lot and he became irritable and angry. His youngest son even injured people frequently. He had a headache on his hands and punished him severely a few times. Thus, his youngest son started to hate him. Usually, his youngest son would avoid him whenever they crossed paths. If Zhu Junyang couldn’t avoid him, then he would just ignore him. Thus, Zhu Junyang normally only talked to his lady mother and eldest brother at the dining table and ignored Prince Jing’s existence. The sun must have risen from the west today since Zhu Junyang voluntarily spoke to his father.
Zhuang Xiaomo

He was first introduced when Yu Xiaocao learned to dive in the ocean. She was playing with a dolphin and forgot to ascend (Divine Stone made a pocket air bubble) and made Yu Xiaolian panic that she drowned.

Ever since the Wokou pirate disaster, he had moved to Dongshan Village. As the years went by, he slowly grew up and became more certain that he wanted to marry the hardworking Xiaolian. However, as he saw the Yu Family’s fortunes go up and up, he started to feel a bit of pressure.

Yu Hai and Liu Muyun treated him like their own son and often sent him food. In fact, most of his clothes and shoes were personall made by Liu Muyun, but he knew in his heart that using his sincere character alone was not enough to marry Yu Xiaolian. He also needed to make sure that his situation was better to ensure that her life would be smooth and steady in the future.

Consequently, when Xiaoaco came back last year to establish the greenhouse grown vegetables business and mentioned the booming vegetable and fruit stalls in the capital, Zhuang Xiaomo had an idea. He decided to also start a stall that only sold the expensive greenhouse grown vegetables and fruits in Tanggu.

He didn’t have a lot of money on hand and had originally planned on renting a stall in the regular food market for this. As he started on his plans, Yu Hai found out and enthusiastically supported his idea. However, Yu Hai advised him against renting a stall at the regular market. After listening to Yu Hai's reasoning, Zhuang Xiaomo was enlightened. The vast majority of people who went to shop at the regular marketplace were the commoners, but whom among them could afford the expensive out-of-season fruits and vegetables?

In the end, Yu Hai gave him some ‘business capital’ and he rented two stores in the western rich area of Tangu Town to open Tanggu’s first specialty vegetable and fruit stores. Naturally, this money was a loan and he gradually paid it back through the money he had earned.

A month before the birthday of Zhu Junfan's Imperial Mother's birthday Zhu Junyang was tasked with finding eight superior pearls to make a coronet. To be able to collect the pearls in such a short time Zhu Junyang created a pearl diving competition that he decided to join in on. During one of his dives his hand became trapped by a giant oyster. After he fainted Yu Xiaocao coaxed the oyster to open it's mouth and sent him back up to surface, when he woke up he saw that there was a pearl the size of a pigeons egg in one hand and a purple pearl in the other. When his boatmates told him that Yu Xiaocao saved him he knew it had something to do with her and sighed because he only joined the competition so the Yu Family would regard him in a better light yet he was saved by a member of the family.

## **History**

Zhuang Xiaomo lived in Nanyuan Village, and was raised by his paternal grandfather. When he was nine, his grandfather passed away and he became an orphan. Fortunately, he was a skilled swimmer, and could support himself by gathering seafood at the beach and fishing.

While Liu Muyun is cowardly and incompetent. Moreover, none of the children in the family were presentable.

After Yu Bo had been embarrassed and forced to move to the Prefectural City she went and stayed with her maternal family but after the locust swarm and following famine she was forced to go back to Dongshan Village.

He is the only son of Zhu Junfan and the Crown Prince of the Ming Dynasty. He is first introduced when his father exploited Zhu Junyang for some watermelons that Yu Xiaocao grew.

While visiting his maternal family he contracted a form of pediatric dysentery when he ate some dirty food. Su Ran was ordered to bring an Imperial Physician that stayed at the Prince Jing recidence. When he saw that Xia Chuxue and Yu Xiaocao were visiting he brought the girl along with him because she had cured Meng Feijia and helped Fang Zizhen have a child.

The Imperial Physicians thought he had been poisoned and mocked Yu Xiaocao for saying he had a form of dysentery but after the medicine they gave made him more sick Zhu Junfan went with Yu Xiacao's idea. Once he was able to get out of bed he followed Xiaocao around like a little tail and was happier to see her than Zhu Junfan or Meng Feijia which caused pangs of jealousy from them.

A few years later while the Royal Family and other high ranking officials participated in a hunting competition he was left with Yu Xiaocao because Zhu Junfan knew that she would not put her self in any danger and even if the two somehow approached something dangerous there is no way that Little Black or Little White would let them get hurt.

While the two were hunting small game like pheasants and roe deer the elder brother of one of Zhu Junfan's Concubines hid nearby with a starving tiger. The elder brother was told him that he would be a royal uncle so he thought that his sisters baby would be a boy. Yu Xiaocao saw the tiger slowly approaching behind him and told the boy to stand still, she then threw rocks and yelled at the tiger to get his attention. When the tiger finally went after her she yelled for Little White and Little Black and the Divine Stone made a shield using his powers to block the tigers attacks until they could arrive.

Once they arrived back in the Capital City Yu Xiaocao was conferred the title of 'Royal Princess' for saving him a second time and the Concubine's family's assets were seized and the whole family was sentenced to be executed. Under the grief of what her brother had done the Concubine hung herselfing, killing her and her unborn child.

She first daughter of Yu Hai and Liu Muyun and elder sister of Yu Xiaocao, though no one actually remembers which daughter was born first she has been treated as the elder sister because of how sick the original Yu Xiaocao was.

Once Lin Xiaowan transmigrated over and became healthier and more independent **Xiaolian** was still very protective of her. Once Yu Xiaocao started to make money she actively participated in them often confusing people who didn't know they were twins.

After Yu Xiaocao started her Ventures she often helped her sister, once she opened up multiple Pharmaceutical workshops she managed the one in Dongshan Village while Yingtao managed the one in the Capital City.

During her coming of age ceremony Meng Feijia was the guest of honor and presented her and Yu Xiaocao their hairpins. She was given the courtesy name of 'Weihe'. Her courtesy name came from ‘Fine Rain on a Lotus Pond’, as a misty rain falling upon lotus flowers was an enchanting sight.
