Kojimigakure

Overview

Hidden island nation that drifts between timelines and positions, rooted in shinobi-style stealth traditions. Isolationist, experimental, and deliberately outside mainland timelines.

Narrative role

Neutral ground for contraband, forbidden knowledge, and exiles. Appears/disappears as a pop-in/out waypoint, rewarding navigation skill and stealth alliances; ties to Kojima/Kojimigakure legends.

Known facts

• Eastern-origin culture with stealth/assassin lineage implied by name.
• Dimensional drift/temporal divergence causes intermittent appearance.
• Misty reefs and shifting coves; rumored to ride an ancient sea turtle’s back.
• Inhabited by smugglers, hermits, and exiled monks under uneasy truces.

Mechanics impact

Fog/drift navigation checks, stealth-friendly routes, hidden markets, and time-slipped entry windows. Fast-travel only when “visible”; high-risk sailing layers.

Relationships

• Galport / Marella: Competes with sea trade; neutral for contraband exchanges.
• Mycomind: Rumored neutral exchange site for spores/knowledge.
• Eastern realms: Cultural echoes but politically detached.
