History

Byakko

In Ashoro, this temple guards all who walk upon the earth. Pilgrims have long sought its blessings before journeying through the north's harsh terrain. I have witnessed countless travelers whose steps, blessed here, carried them safely across vast distances. The temple's name speaks truth—it aids every footfall, enabling passage through the most difficult terrain. The people of Ashoro hold this temple in deepest trust.
