Hidden Village

The Hidden Village resides in Thousand Valley, as the remnants of a civilization that was once destroyed. The village has multiple houses that dedicate themselves to different fields. They focus on survival, dedicating themselves to defence by training in schools and moving their village regularly.

History
The residents of the Hidden Village are remnants of the Kingdom of Kuzen, a former member of the Alliance of Kings, along with Arabakia, Nananka and Ishmal. When the kingdom came under attack by orcs and the undead, no assistance was offered by other human kingdoms, resulting in Kuzen's destruction and survivors fleeing to form the village.

The people of Kuzen, and later the Hidden Village, tamed and used nyaas for every need, even going as far as to train them to eat orcish meat only. Jessie Smith noted that the use of nyaas for assassination wasn't unheard of.

Culture
Long hair is seen as a requirement by women of the Hidden Village, once girls hit a certain age they start to grow it out showing themselves to be a part of the village. When someone leaves or is exiled it is customary to cut their hair to shoulder length.

The village put great importance on safety and duty. By nature, the residents of the village are isolationists, refusing to trust outsiders after the fall of the kingdom of Kuzen.

The village relocate every year, sometimes more than once in the same year, but they do accept some strangers, like Soma who is recognized as a samurai by the four samurai houses
