Deep in the mountains, an ancient pact exists.

Not between people.

But—

between people and the forest.

Mountains have spirits, forests have souls.

Few are willing to respond to humans.

Even fewer can sign the pact.

Those who sign are called—

Mountain Guardians.

They gain the power of the mountains and forests:

to sense the breath of nature

to ward off wild beasts

to control vines

to accelerate plant growth

to sense mineral veins

and even to use the mountain's power to suppress enemies.

But the pact is two-way.
