This is Kotokai, a village inspired by the medieval Japanese era. Using extremely decorative elements like straw roofs, traditional sliding doors, and wood log accents, this village perfectly captures the essence of Japanese architecture in only a few houses.

Lore:

Kotokai is a small Hiwotsukerese villages situated in Northern Watol. Originally theorised to be the site of a large native Watolian Sun Temple, only a small set of ruins remain as an indicator of the area's previous inhabitants.

Since its construction, Kotokai has faced various threats from within Watol's thick rainforests, ranging from terrifying man-eating creatures and the nefarious Black Sun Plague to Watolian tribes who wage a war of barbarism and raids against the Hiwotsukerese.

Often finding itself isolated, this small village has evolved into an elite training ground for some of the best swordsmen in all of Hiwotsukeru, and perhaps even the world, owing their skills to a lifetime of training and defending their homes. It is because of these warriors, known as Chotokai or Angko-Chotokai, that Kotokai has managed to survive in such a hostile and isolated environment.

In times of war, the Chotokai often find themselves on the frontlines of ferocious battles or in the defence of The Empire of Hiwotsukeru's Imperial Family.
