Kushi and Altun

Kushi is a young orphan raised by the monks of Lhan. Her parents left her with the monks as they tried to scale Mt. Sumeru, but never returned.

From a young age, it was clear that Kushi had a way with animals. While foraging with the monks one day, a Roc swooped down and grabbed Kushi. The monks feared she would be eaten, but the Roc gently lowered her to the ground at her command, and they’ve been friends ever since. She named the Roc Altun, and thinks of him as her brother.

With Altun at her side, she trains every day and patrols the skies over Lhan. As her way of paying the monks back for all they’ve done for her, Kushi hopes to join The Protectors, a group of warriors tasked with guarding Lhan and the sacred mountain, Mt. Sumeru.
