Ala Gannha Love You, Henry E. Dickens¹

A tough Ala Mhigan Monk man named Boris and a dainty Shroud Bard woman named Violet meet upon the battlefield. Wounded but not dead, Boris is gasping for air when he is met with an arrow shot by his head. Ready to kill him, Violet witnesses light in his eyes and finds mercy. Nursing him back to health in a nearby cave, the two fall madly in love but know that they cannot continue living like this. Violet is a Gridanian Noble of eld and a virgin heir. Boris is a rough and tumble Ala Mhigan general. Can love blossom from the Autumn War's destruction?

茶考 Chako: Considerations over Tea, Poh Rhen

An inquiry into the manifold expressions of Hingan tea practice in its many registers from the mundane to the ceremonial. In this work, Rhen traces the journey from leaf to cup, examining how, in Hingashi, hospitality is elevated into an art form all its own.

The Civilized Defense, Florimond Fontaine

This work draws comparison between Ishgardian Dragonchess and kharaqiq as played by the Kha tribe. Although there is some theory involved, the book seems to be unbearably preachy in tone and incredibly culturally insensitive despite the author lauding himself as a cultural liaison.

The Hunter's Handbook, T'ohku Puddlechaser

One Hundred True Ghost Stories of Bukyo, vol. 1, Various

This anthology includes several tales of hauntings and yokai sightings throughout Hingashi--all authors claim the stories to be one-hundred percent true. Witness the testimonies of those who have survived encounters with heart-eating kitsune, the slit-mouthed woman, sazae-oni, and other vengeful spirits...

四季の習い Shiki no Narai: Observances of the Four Seasons, Poh Rhen

In Observances of the Four Seasons, Poh Rhen examines the customs and philosophies surrounding Hingashi's four discrete seasons: haru, natsu, aki and fuyu. The bounties that each of these periods of a year provide inform these cultural ideals, and in turn, such abstractions become their own forces entirely.
