whose palace contains 100 rooms.
Food and Drink
When preparing meals, Koreans prepare a hearty
assortment of appetizers called banchan/반찬.
These include combinations of miniature side dishes
including kimchi, marinated sprouts, fried zucchini,
fried tofu, black beans marinated in soy sauce and
sesame oil, and other kinds of vegetables. From personal
experience, neither of my parents start the day without
a hot bowl of soup and banchan which they enjoy with
rice. Hearty non-soup dishes may include bibimbap/
비빔밥 (a mix of rice, chili paste, meat, veggies, and
fried egg), kimbap/김밥 (rice and seaweed rolls usually
with vegetables and meat), jeon/전 (vegetable fritters),
and ssangchu ssam/상추쌈 (rice and meat wrapped in
lettuce).
Desserts exist too such as barley crackers, yakgwa
(honey cookies), sweet rice cakes, shaved ice, or
simply a plate of fruit. Drinks include fruit, flower,
corn, grounded grains, barley tea, and shikye/식혜,
a sweet rice beverage of honey and pine nuts. Most
alcoholic drinks are types of rice wines like soju/
소주 and makgeolli/막걸리, but exceptions exist like
baekseju/백세주 (herbs and ginseng wine) and maesil-
ju/매실주 (plum wine). You might have noticed that
rice and other grains are critical in a Korean diet: not
just as a side dish, but in much of our cooking. In the
15th century, Koreans ate double to triple the amount
of rice that the Chinese and Japanese did. Food is an
important part of Korean life.
Architecture
In ancient times, the construction of an ideal Korean
home always incorporates the natural environment
surrounding it. Geomancy was an important factor:
the shapes of mountains, hills, rivers, and plains
carried a flow of energy that determined mood and
fortune. In this magical setting where indeed the land
carries powerful spiritual energy, these considerations
must be taken doubly seriously. Homes were built with

country’s class system. The four classes in Dangukese
society are:
Yangban
The country’s ruling class, occupied by the literati
and highest order of civil servants. They are the landed
and unlanded elites, who after passing the civil service
exams, are gifted prestige and certain privileges; such
as being exempt from taxes. Many can also afford to
cheat on said exams. Though the position, office, and
privilege they occupy are hereditary, every failure of the
family’s third generation to pass the exams results in
relinquishing their titles. Well-educated mages, bards,
scholars, and philosophers occupy this social strata.
Jungin
Highly skilled workers, the middle class. Engineers,
jurists, scientists, accountants, and artists occupy this
social strata. Their privileges are observed for their
close proximity to the Yangban who employ them in
governmental and non-governmental positions. Like
the Yangban, they are exempt from taxes. Many in
this class can afford to pay tuition for their children to
someday become Yangban.
Sangmin
Commoners who make the backbone of Danguk
society. Their caste consists of poor workers such as
farmers, fishers, laborers, merchants, and craftsmen.
The majority of people in Danguk fall under this class.
As such, they bear the highest burden of the country’s
taxes.

Jangseung (Rare)
To a beleaguered traveler, the sight of an exaggerated face carved into a stone or wooden rod is a blessing. These
clusters of guardian poles, also known as jangseung, are both guides and protectors. Along roads, they stand as markers
of distance between long stretches of land, their roots radiating divine energy into the earth to stem corruption and
provide respite to those nearby. Placed in the furthest four corners of a settlement, jangseung serve as gatekeepers and
drive away evil spirits, disease, and ill fortune. In return, villagers keep jangseung clean and revere them in yearly
rituals filled with ample prayers and copious offerings of wine and food.

Choon’giyeosuh (충기여서)
The Choon’giyeosuh, no larger than the blowball of a dandelion, exudes from its body a psychedelic pollen
that alters the minds of creatures that breathe it. They’re not native to the Material Plane, but they appear there to
propagate by spreading its pollen. If a creature either breathes or strikes a Choon’giyeosuh, it releases its gas that
can drive people into hysteria. During their mating seasons, they gather in swarms and allow the wind to carry
them across the land. Though individually weak, an entire swarm can drive settlements of people into madness

Geuseunsae (그슨새)
In Danguk, when a murderer is put to death, the deceased murderer’s soul clings to life and becomes a
Geuseunsae. They’re unliving shadows in the shape of birds that wear straw umbrellas to hide from the sun or rain.
This allows them to wander during the day without exposing themselves to sunlight. The Geuseunsae continues its
vile deeds in life by catching people unaware by stretching its shadowy limbs out longer than its size. It strangles
its victims and escapes into the dark. When serial killings go unsolved in Dangukese communities, people suspect
the Geuseunsae’s involvement.

Jangjamari (장자마리)
Travelers might be fortunate during summer to happen upon Jangjamari heralding the speedy growth of young
plant life. Representing the natural process of blooming, they appear typically in wetlands, forested areas with lakes,
and in some saltwater bodies of water. The sonic reverberations of their komun’go spurs instinctive responses in
people into dancing and celebration. Some young bards seek them out to teach them the ways of music, only to be
pushed to the brink in mustering all their soul into the praise of new life. They’re all too happy to dance and play
with travelers, sharing the joy they feel in life reaching their fullest potential.

Lesser Dokkaebi (도깨비)
Lesser Dokkaebi are primal spirits, minor gods even, that possess inanimate objects and are enthralled with
the ways and customs of the mortal world. They take material form by possessing abandoned, inanimate objects.
Though mischievous with a love of drink, food, and games involving physical strength, they are ultimately
benevolent beings that support and protect the virtuous. Their Dokkaebi Club represents their divinity as they
use it as a focus for miracles to summon objects from afar, sometimes at the annoyance of anyone who finds their
possessions missing. Their behavior is guided by a strong moral compass and are incapable of intentional acts of
evil such as murder.

Ma Myeong-jo (마명조)
Native to Danguk, the Ma Myeong-jo is a bird whose third eye can pierce through magical veils and see into
the world beyond mortals. Their tail feathers are twice as long as their bodies are and have the power to change
colors. They use this quality to camouflage their presence and avoid prey to compensate for their slow flight speed.
Military officers tamed these birds to use their tail feathers to give off signals to their soldiers in the middle of
battle.

Taktak Gwishin (탁탁귀신)
The last thoughts of a soldier’s life in the battlefield are of regret and fear serve as an animating spark for the
Taktak Gwishin. Its teeth chatter constantly in memory of the fear they felt with their life ended at the spear of
an enemy soldier. In unlife, the Gwishin marches perpetually through the battlefield and into the streets to seek
out and fight its enemy even after its battle had been lost. While the chattering alerts people of its presence, it
subliminally conveys the fear it felt into the minds of those who hear it.
At sites of profound carnage, swaths of soldiers reanimate as Taktak Gwishin. They band together as a brigade
and continue their endless march to complete their orders in life. These undead brigades trample over towns and
spark widespread panic. Though non-sentient, they respond to displays of fearlessness. Being fearful creatures,
they become wary in the presence of unfearing warriors willing to stand in the way of their march. Loud, explosive
noises also scare them away.

The Arboreal Lion is a tree imbued with the souls of beasts. It takes the form of what resembles a wooden statue
of a lion. Heavily resistant against arrows and knives, Druids have sought the creation of these lions to defend
nature. Conversely, necromancers and transmuters have also sought to force the creation of an Arboreal Lion to
tame it and have it serve as a powerful attack beast.

Changgwi (창귀)
A traveler walks a lonely road at night against the urgings of their elders and those around them. Though they
hasten their pace to seek shelter at a nearby town, a tiger catches, mauls, and eats them. Their resentment and self-
pity for their fate anchors them to the tiger and possesses it as a symbiotic creature, the Changgwi. The Akryung
born from the unfortunate traveler envies the living people for their happiness while they wallow in their misery.
They act on their hatred by luring new victims for the tiger to eat. More vengeful souls then bind to the tiger.
Dangukese Mudang warn people to beware not the tiger, but the malice that motivates these miserable souls to
betray and hate their fellow man.

Duseng’ilgak (두생일각)
In farms that do not maintain proper hygiene, a Duseng’ilgak might be born from an ordinary egg in a chicken
coop. Thought to be a living curse created by the Jeongrang Gakshi, the Duseng’ilgak’s birth is a harbinger of
continued plague to exacerbate already unhygienic conditions. Ironically, the Duseng’ilgak’s horn is valuable
among doctors who seek to use it to manipulate and ward off diseases. By the time a Duseng’ilgak is discovered,
though, illness has already ravaged the afflicted community.

Geogugwi (거구귀)
The Geogugwi is a primal force of nature born from a violent collision of all five elements. It is a behemoth
created not by the gods, but as an expression of untamed chaos roaming the world. Its hide resists all known forms
of energy and converts it into power.
Each step it takes creates tremors and shakes the earth beneath it. Its hunger knows no bounds as it greedily
consumes all types of matter and energy in the material world. The one exception is radiant energy which is a
product of the divine. If one appears in the world, it’s considered a harbinger of an apocalypse brought about by
natural forces: a sign that the gods’ grip over the material world they sought to bring order to has grown tenuous.
Though it has no will of its own, only following its instinct and hunger, it acknowledges forces stronger than it.

Janghwahwunyo (장화훤요)
An unsettling tree that appears in forests with dead trees, the Janghwawunyo’s bark is warped into the shape of
people and animals whose souls it traps. Its inside is lit with a cold flame that shines as brightly as a torch. Druids
speculate that the Janghwahwunyo come about when a tree possesses its forest’s resentment at withering away or
when a hag secretly plants it.
People share ghost stories after hearing its unsettling whistling out in their woods and the inexplicable light
shining from within. Those that chase after it leave become susceptible to its madness-inducing influence as it
whispers thoughts and shows images inside their minds that drive them to harm. People that have had enough
of the tree try to chop it down, but it can transmit into people’s minds its pain. Rangers urge people to avoid the
Janghwawunyo and to not heed its whispers.

Jesengnoma (제생요마)
The Jesengnoma is an undead animated from the corpse of a fallen soldier. Though they only have one leg
and they move by hopping, their strength enables them to leap higher than physically possible. Necromancers
use Jesengnoma as zombified assassins. Fiercely loyal to those that raised them, drawing on memories of their
commanding officers, the Jesengnoma carries out its orders without rest. It slays its victims by leaping into the
air and using the momentum of its fall to stab them with a mortal blow. Animating a Jesengnoma requires great
finesse to maintain the body’s flexibility against rigor mortis setting in, but necromancers covet them as precise
warriors to eliminate their enemies.

Jigwi (지귀)
In the Kingdom of Silla, a monk fell infatuated with the beauty of Queen Seondeok. He could only see glimpses
of her as she would ride in her procession through the public. Bound to the temple by oath, he could never meet
her and he would always tell worshippers to give his regards. This obsession grew to the point he refused to eat,
drink, and sleep, consumed with thoughts of the Queen’s beauty. Stories of the monk who loved the Queen spread
and reached the ears of the Queen herself. Feeling pity for the man, she announced she would visit the temple to
offer her prayers.
News inspired such in the monk and relief that years of exhaustion finally caught up to him. As he waited
diligently, he soon fell asleep underneath the temple’s pagoda. After waking up, he found next to him a bracelet
and another monk told him that for all their efforts, he couldn’t be stirred awake. The Queen came and departed,
leaving behind her bracelet for him as a memento. His heart burned learning that he missed his chance and
consumed him with flames, killing him, and soon engulfed the rest of the temple. Rumors spread that lived on as
a Gwishin named Jigwi, a burning specter whose unrequited love manifests as flames that threaten to burn the
world around them.

Jomagu (조마구)
A Jomagu is a chimera of nearly every loathed, verminous creature, given life and shape through people’s fears
and hatred. It invades homes and steals their food, but it is most terrifying when struck back. Capable of growing
into titanic sizes in response to pain and inhospitality, the Jomagu uses its new, titanic height to slash up and
eat those who wronged it. The Mudang believe it to be a living curse brought to existence by innocent, though
annoying vermin in their hunger who found their ways into people’s kitchens. Though not terribly intelligent, they
possess a cruel streak and the cunning to make the most of it.

Juidoryung (쥐도령)
Though the Juidoryung appears at first as a shorter than average ratfolk, they possess unrivaled shape shifting
abilities. To shapeshift, they must eat a small part of their prey; a toenail, a lock of hair, or blood will do. Transforming
this way imbues them with the memories of whoever they transformed into, even those forgotten. This quality
enabled many Juidoryung to steal the lives of their prey even after being discovered. They linger in places with high
population density to better escape into when an identity runs its course.
Few Juidoryung use their abilities for feats of organized crime, but most are cowards at heart content to nibble
on scraps they find. Their rodent instincts compel them to flee from cats and to seek out cheese.

Kkumoksari (꺼먹살이)
A fear of being watched in the dark has allowed certain spirits to take shape as a Kkumoksari. These are
mischievous fey who lurk in dark spaces, roads, and streets, preferring to single out cowardly individuals. They
stalk and follow them, making sounds of footsteps and fooling with their senses to build tension, before revealing
themselves, reveling in the fright they inflict. If the person isn’t frightened, they quickly lose interest and depart.
Very few deaths in Danguk are caused by the Kkumoksari who find joy primarily in the reactions people have to
their antics. Regardless, they follow their own sense of honor, where they believe that mortals should continue to
fear the darkness, lest they run into creatures far more dangerous than they ever could be. In their own way, they
believe their actions amount to a public service, but they find more joy scaring the daylights out of people than
from any noble purpose.

Mimic Progenitor
Scholars that study monsters theorized that the Mimic Progenitor is a distant ancestor of modern day Mimics.
Two rivaling schools of thought about the Mimic’s origins posit that they are either shrunken progenitors that
learned to adapt above water or Mimics evolved from a Mimic Progenitor’s severed tentacle. Each of the Mimic
Progenitor’s tentacles possesses a brain that analyzes the thoughts of prey observed through the telepathic main
body and shapeshifts into a desirable object or creature. When the tentacle detects that its prey is close, it constricts
them for its main body to consume with its razor sharp jaws. Desperate sailors have died, steering their ships
toward the Mimic Progenitor disguised as stranded treasure ships or tropical islands offering shade and food.
Though the Mimic Progenitor’s intellect rivals those of the Kraken and the Aboleth, it possesses a sociable
streak stemming from its fondness for playing with its food. They enjoy the fun of sinking dumb, arrogant sailors
and the thrill of locking wits against perceptive seamen. Lacking the same hatred for the world that its brethren
of the depths have, the Mimic Progenitor is a creature of the present rather than of past resentments or future
schemes. They do, however, employ priests of deception to poke holes into the fabric of reality to inspire regional
hallucinations.

Myodusa (묘두사)
Native to Danguk, the Myodusa is a giant, serpentine creature with the head of a cat. Its body emits a blue smoke
that has curative properties to anyone that breathes it in. Extremely rare, the Myodusa is a saint among monsters
whose medicinal properties are like a true panacea. They hide away in their nests, wary of engaging too much with
the mortal world for fear of being taken advantage of. Still, they are trusting and amicable to strangers with an
appetite for affection. It’s said that there is a legend where one took advantage of their powers and commanded a
cult that worshiped it like a god, only to be slain. Myodusas are creatures of legend that even kings have searched
for in the hopes of curing the most severe of curses and ailments affecting their loved ones.

Painting Akryung (그림악령)
When either a painter or their muse leaves the world, unsatisfied at their craft, their spirit warps into a Painting
Akryung. Painting Akryungs possess paintings they hold powerful sentimental value for. Their spiritual power
enables them to blend their form within the art. They jealously guard these pieces, terrifying their new owners and
collectors, or stealing their lives to improve their painting. Only a fellow artistic soul can reach out to a Painting
Akryung and convince them to pass on willingly.

Shinyuyukmyeon (신유육면)
Known as the Living Blight, its name refers to the six faces on its body. An extremely rare monster that appears
in the seas, its advent is considered to be an unsightly omen. It is lured to the smell of widespread death and brings
with it storms and calamities to cull the weak, drag them into the waters, and consume them whole. The Yongwang
of Danguk do not tolerate the Shinyuyukmyeon’s existence, recognizing it as an abomination. If it is allowed to
swim in the seas of the dragons, it is because the order of nature is in disarray. It lets out a grating song in the
language of the aberrant and its laughter heralds the destruction of the seas.

Soul Colony
Souls resentful of their lot in Jeoseung sometimes learn to cluster together and form shells to protect themselves.
They cooperate as a hivemind and their individual souls take on the forms of furious wasps. A soul with a powerful
will overpowers the others and their anger takes over as the hivemind’s dominant personality. The rulers of Jeoseung
charged the gardeners of the Flower Fields of Seocheon and the Jeoseung Saja to destroy these Colonies and end
these souls’ rebellion.

Soul Eater Owl
An apex predator born in the Underworld, the Soul Eater Owl developed a taste for mortal souls. The Ten
Narakwang regard them as vermin and order their officers to locate and destroy their nests. The owls hide in the
Flower Fields of Seocheon, eating flowers of innocent souls, finding them to be sweeter meals than those tortured
in Jeoseung. They sneak into Danguk during periods of high necromantic activity to prey on wayward souls.
Clerics regard its appearance in the world of the living as a symptom of terrible dysfunction in the natural cycle of
life and death.

Uduksushin (어둑시니)
The Dangukese regard the Uduksushin as a god of darkness. Its true identity is an Akryung that learned to feed
on the fear of mortals. It lurks in the darkest of areas that hapless travelers wander into such as mountain roads
or beneath forest thickets. In its weakest, most unassuming form, it appears as a small child that haunts and pulls
pranks on these travelers. As it frightens mortals, the Uduksushin grows into a terrible behemoth large enough to
eat them whole. They are the evil lurking in the dark that travelers learn to fear. The Uduksushin can’t comprehend
and flee from mortals who conquered their fears.

Arboreal Wisdom (궁중괴수)
The Arboreal Wisdom appears as a tree whose branches and leaves fold to appear like a glowing, pulsating
brain. People unaware of the Arboreal Wisdom that stumble upon it sometimes confuse it for an evil omen. It
produces sounds occasionally that resemble a human wailing, but in truth, it is a sacred tree willing to share its
collected wisdom. Thought by Mudang to have been given a great responsibility by the gods, the roots of the
Arboreal Wisdom stores the collected memories of all things the earth that its roots touch remembers. This burden
provides great happiness and profound sorrow for the tree that sympathizes and feels the pain of the beasts that
return to the soil and the plants that grow upon it. Wherever an Arboreal Wisdom grows, it is venerated as the sage
of the woods and protected as a supreme elder.

Fox Spirit
Members of the accursed Fox Clan, fox spirits, live native to the material plane. People regard them as wily
tricksters whose mischief brings misfortune to many. Over the course of history, they possessed members of
royalty and the aristocracy to sow chaos from within. They pride themselves in their bestial nature, believing that
the strong hold the right to consume the weak. To that end, they hold special ire for Humanoids who compensate
for their weakness in vast numbers, technology, and powers eked out from unnatural sources. Fox Spirits feast on
their livers to send a message that they cannot escape the natural order through civilization.
Like how extraplanar denizens can only die when killed in their native plains, when a fox spirit dies in the
material plane, its soul scatters back into nature. Mudang speculate that the will to dominate amalgamates into
energy found in the natural world and takes form as a fox spirit.

Geumdwaeji (금돼지)
The Geumdwaeji is avarice incarnate. Born of the malice inside the hearts of people, it’s compelled to accumulate
its hoard. It sees all things and creatures in terms of their weight in gold, possessing the power to trap foes and
petrify them into solid gold. It takes no pleasure in the tormenting living creatures. It considers itself to be the only
living entity and all others to be things to bargain. More cunning Geumdwaeji disguise their operations as debt
collectors, offering gold made from the bodies of others to lure more victims into its vault.

Gray Ancient
In eras rife with greed and corruption, the wailing of the powerless who’ve had their daily bread snatched from
their hands would awaken these peculiar wraiths. Gray Ancients are Akryung drawn to judge leaders who grow
fat off of the suffering of their people and curse them with their deadly gaze. Their natural invisibility makes them
known only to their victims who rarely survive witnessing these wraiths more than once. What follows isn’t of
concern to the Gray Ancient; they are only spirits of punishment. Though they’re often mistaken for Jeoseung Saja,
the latter does not tolerate their selective interference in the affairs of mortals.

Guchinyuh (거치녀)
Dangukese historians discovered that prior to war breaking out, military officers reported having seen a tall,
emaciated woman carrying a longbow. Her fiery claws’ heat drove their soldiers into violent madness. Gathering
violent sentiment in the material plane opens a portal that allows the Guchinyuh to appear. It stokes more hatred
and feeds off of it. The living embodiment of violence perpetuating further violence, the Guchinyuh exists to stoke
the flames of war and ensure the material plane can never escape its vicious cycle.

Jaesungdaegook (제성대곡)
The Jaesungdaegook’s name refers to “sounds made when everyone cries together”. Ghosts are creatures of
lingering regrets and they sometimes gather together. At the center of the Jaesungdaegook is the ghost of a bard or
composer who leads the rest in song to vent their frustrations. In this orchestra, they become a creature of singular
mind and will. In their deep sorrow, they seek to add others to their ranks by inflicting despair into their hearts
before separating their soul from body. They usually appear in cities or palaces where large numbers of people can
gather at any given time.

Jihaguk Daejeok (지하국대적)
Before the gods of the Realm Above the Nine Heavens established Jeoseung as an Underworld and a place of
judgment for the souls of Danguk, the plane was a prison to these nine-headed titans. They rebelled against the
gods’ encroachment and died with their souls transmuting into the forms of the Flowers of Destruction in the
Flower Fields of Seocheon. Their will lives on as the Flowers proliferate reincarnations of these titans to rid the
multiverse of life. Having hidden themselves away in a plane of reality thought unappealing for gods to settle their
domain in, they lived brooding over being separated from the primordial chaos the universe once was.
Though they’re sentient and have independent wills, a deep compulsion within commands them to take actions
that result in the unraveling of the gods’ order. The Ten Narakwang wished to use them as torturers and taskmasters,
but they rebelled, sneaking their way into the material plane, eating people and kidnapping fair maidens and
young gentlemen to wed. Terrifying engines of destruction, a sure-fire way of destroying them is to cut off all of
their heads, but the regenerative blessings of the Flower of Destruction allows them to grow back if one remains.

Lightning Shinjang (벼락신장)
A Celestial general that answers directly to none except Hwanin, the ruler of the realm above the heavens, the
Lightning Shinjang wields the power of storms to punish the sinful. They are called upon when the gods choose
to punish the earthly realm for its transgressions. As the earliest mortals in the world looked up to the skies, they
grasped a measure of the gods’ power as the first cracks of lightning shot down at the ground. The Shinjang, fearless
leader of the heavens’ forces, embodies this power and wields it mercilessly against the enemies of order. They’re
known to be temperamental and intolerant of any vice and so are rarely seen in the material plane lest panic break
loose. The highest order of Mudang learn to channel these Celestials into their bodies to direct divine punishment
against the wicked; however, the Shinjang punishes any Mudang who frivolously calls them.

Sammokgu (삼목구)
The Sammokgu guards the gates to Jeoseong from interplanar trespassers and forces of the lower plane. It
appears as a tall, bipedal dog with a third eye on its forehead. While in this form, the Sammokgu appears as a priest
or a learned person happy to share advice and wisdom. Fierce and unfalteringly loyal, the Ten Narakwang treat the
Sammokgu favorably through their absolute trust.
If angered, the Sammokgu takes a quadrupedal stance and transforms into the form of a true hellhound. Its
howl summons dire wolves under its command to rip apart foes as the last line of gate’s defense. The Sammokgu
becomes an engine of zeal, willing to commit acts of brutality and barbarism to fulfill its duties. Afterward, the
Sammokgu always returns to prayer to repent for giving into its bestial aspect.

Shigingwi (식인귀)
In times of strife, rumors spread like wildfire of an Akryung like the Shigingwi that take advantage of discontent
people have against one another to assault and eat them. Shigingwi are Akryung addicted to the taste of bone
marrow and brains of humanoids. Though with their towering builds and strength they can easily overpower
most people, they’re scavengers that seek out cadavers to eat their brains. They’re gluttons that prioritize feasting
on swaths of people than being picky about their next meal. The Shigingwi shares similarities with Ghouls, but
whereas Ghouls come into existence through an individual’s hunger, they’re fueled by the malice and hunger that
comes from collective strife and target communities.

Dueoksini (두억시니)
If the elemental forces that lead to the birth of a Dokkaebi culminate around a vessel filled with malice or essence
from the lower planes, a Dueoksini may be born. The Dueoksini is a fiend found wretched even by the denizens of
the lower planes. They’re creatures of pure violence and brutality, yet they also work in mysterious ways that enable
them to go unnoticed. Taking on forms loathed and feared by other beings, they use their considerable physical
and spiritual powers to shatter people’s minds.
They draw fear as a cudgel to break people physically and mentally. Out of all the spirits whose origins can
be tied to events in the country of Danguk, the Dueoksini is the most feared. They take joy in the violence they
affect and revel as their covert brutality creates paranoia and fear that can spread like wildfire. Even diabolical
summoners know better than to summon these fiends whose ranks are known to destroy armies and kingdoms
from within.

Haetae (해태)
At the construction of Danguk’s capital, the gods of Gucheon bestowed upon the mortals a pack of guardian
Haetae. Designed in the shape of a celestial beast, they’re built and programmed in divine forges to safeguard the
subjects of those under the care of a ruler recognized with the heavenly mandate. They spring to life only when
the nation faces a dire catastrophe whether natural, extraplanar, or man-made. Their sole mission is to safeguard
the nation and continue the gods’ experiment in developing a means to see swaths of mortals ascend into divinity.
Neither evil or good, they exist to protect the gods’ interests.
Regardless, they are revered as idols in the Kingdom of Danguk for their ability to predict and eat misfortune.
They have control over the weather to ward off natural disasters that may destroy the nation. When earthquakes
are near, they spring to life and alert the country’s mages with their barks to set up proper defenses. The people of
Danguk rest easy knowing that even in the worst case scenario, the powerful Haetae will defend them from ruin.

Primal Dokkaebi
Few Primal Dokkaebis exist in Danguk, but all of them have lived at least long enough to see the country’s
founding by Hwanung. A Dokkaebi that has absorbed tremendous elemental energy can grow into sizes that rival
those of mountains and take the shapes of houses, buildings, or temples. People of recent days have rediscovered
these structures and not knowing that they are the vessels for a powerful nature spirit, repopulate them. These
Dokkaebi have no issue with this and enjoy being closer to people, bringing them fortunes in return for good
treatment. It’s rumored that they are a household god, but Primal Dokkaebis are venerable and calm nature spirits
who enjoy their coexistence with mortals. Primal Dokkaebi that have cast aside humanity do exist and they’ve
been known to wrestle mountains and rule territory like rambunctious warlords.

Samdugumi (삼두구미)
Related to the infamous Gumiho, Samdugumi are considered a rare, more primal version of the legendary nine-
tailed fox. By the grace of the Awakened One, it’s said even a Gumiho may ascend someday by abstaining from evil,
but the Samdugumi has utterly forsaken any such possibilities. Having given themselves fully to their beastly urges,
a Samdugumi has evolved in such a way that enables it to more efficiently hunt and kill their prey. They wield the
power of curses, produced inside of their corrupted bodies like bile, to bring their enemies into submission.
The Samdugumi has traded away its Fox Marble, the essence of its soul, for a blighted immortality. They can
survive being sliced and slashed into pieces and can reproduce their bodies even should a limb be torn apart. No
longer possessing the remotest spark of their former miniscule divinity, the Samdugumi has devoted itself to being
a blight upon mortals and devote itself entirely to supplanting them as the material plane’s dominant organism.
The Samdugumi’s sole purpose is as a beast that eats, sleeps, and breeds, whose every action is to spite mortals.

Yeongno (영노)
For committing a slight against the gods, a Yeongno is cast from the heavens, forbidden to return until they
consume one hundred wicked yangbans. Or so the tales go. On behalf of the gods, they are typically agents that
scour the worlds of dangerous, magical items by eating them. Few are found guilty of coveting these treasures
inside their stomachs and are exiled for that reason. The ones that appear in the material plane are almost always
exiles and seek return by continuing their work of pruning the planes of evil. Tales of the Yeongno despite their
rarity have become popular among the lower castes that hope for a better tomorrow and dream of retribution
against those that exploit them.

YONGWANG
Standing at the pinnacle of the draconic hierarchy, Yongwangs are the closest things to gods living in the mortal
world. They possess a serpentine form that can circle around the base of a mountain. They’re heavily involved in
the affairs of man, seeing the realms the gods charged them to protect akin to their horde.
The four Yongwangs of Danguk representing the four cardinal directions were blessed with the status of demi-
gods. This divinity manifests through their authorities which they use to command the primal forces of nature
including Beasts and Elementals in their region. They can bestow divine spells to followers and manipulate the
flow of magic.
Rulers of Danguk seek to uphold their pacts with the Yongwangs in order to stave off their wrath. As represen-
tatives of the Realms Above the Heavens, this pact serves as a covenant that recognizes a ruler’s mandate. Still,
a Yongwang might have ambitions that extend beyond those of the gods they serve. To them, the gods are little
beyond supervisors whose decisions they might disagree with.
Both chromatic and metallic dragons disdain the superiority the Yongwang claim over them all. Nevertheless,
the Yongwang’s authority also gives them power to issue imperatives to dragons and keep their ambitions in
check while in their realm. Only four Yongwangs can exist at a time and the gods consider any more as anoma-
lies that they must expunge. When one Yongwang dies, their powers and throne become up for grabs in order of
succession. If the Yongwang doesn’t determine their next heir, this triggers a bloody ritual where dragons war to
prove most worthy of unifying their species.
