The Jade Way is an Arcanos unique to the wraiths of the Dark Kingdom of Jade.

Overview

No one is “politically correct” in death. European souls are a struggle between Psyche and Shadow, African souls balance among four aspects of their incarnation, and Japanese souls are a melding of the hun and p’o.

The hun is the incarnation of intellect and spirit, the driving force of life and death; the p’o is movement and physicality, the ebb and flow through the waters of existence. In death, these split (and equate to the Psyche and Shadow, respectively). Learning the Ways of the hun and p’o, as well as affecting those aspects in others, are the paths of power open to the Asian wraiths. These doors are closed to all others foreign to the Empire.

But much the same as the ties to home and family grow dim away from the birth land of Japan, the Ways dissipate into mist the longer the Japanese soul remains outside of its ancestral territory. The hun and p’o, over time, identify with the European Psyche and Shadow, and lose all that distinction entails and all the powers that go with it. There is more than one reason to hunger for home.

Known Jade Way Arcanoi are:

• Way of the Scholar - Manipulates the huns of other wraiths, in essence controlling their minds and actions.
• Way of the Farmer - Controls kuei, or wild spirits with no hun.
• Way of the Merchant - Allows wraiths to use the sacrifices sent by their living relatives.
• Way of the Soul - Allows mastery their own p'o, but not those of others.
