THE KUGANE
NIGHT MARKET

Night markets exist all over this sphere but the ones of the East are especially large and complex. A mirror flip of the material world, these markets host the denizens of the spiritual world. Youkai, spirits, demons, ghosts, blessed mortals, or simply a keen-sensed individual can peddle and visit the night market where one of a kind wares can be found.However, be wary of the peddlers that roam about...not all have your best interests in mind.

This is a supernatural event! Once a month, Suiren Shrine staff escort vendors into the Night (also called Ghost) Market. Spirits, youkai, and other beings are present in the area.
The Market Master is Kuroyama no Hisoka, a tengu who is greatly in support of mortal/supernatural collaboration.
The Market exists in a pocket of reality and can only be entered by those with great spiritual talent, supernatural blood, great knowledge of the East, or through an escort.
