The Gray Clouds Temple are a camp or faction of Tengu that train mortal hunters.
Overview[]
There is a small faction of Tengu that sometimes abducts humans and trains them in the arts of hunting shen - in most cases, bakemono, Kuei-jin or Namebreakers. This camp, known obliquely as the Gray Clpuds Temple, instructs their charges in all manner of bladesmanship, martial arts, shen lore (although carefully omitting any hengeyokai weaknesses) and sometimes even hedge magick. Thus armed, the new "goblin slayer" enters the shadowy side of the World of Darkness with open eyes and a fighting chance. None can say whether the Temple's ways are a cruel game or a noble calling - but the results are often interesting.
