NaNoWriMo Ambitions

Alrighty, loves. Here is a brief glimpse at the world I'll be spending the next month spinning away, Ex Umbra

The Kageshi are a people that live life on the run, spending most of the year in a nomadic lifestyle in order to keep from being the prey of the various beasts that roam the land. They believe that their shadows are an extension of their wants, desires and innermost selves, and they can often be found whispering to each other when they gather around the campfires. Darkness is beauty, and that beauty is used for their nocturnal survival.

But in the midst of their existence are the Na'Kageshu. Not enemies, these people are tolerated. In part for fear of the unholy pact they must have with the beasts. In part because of their usefulness in providing laborers and workers, as well as some unique items. Those shadowless beings dwell in permanent homes and used the most disconcerting techniques. The most dishonorable thing a Kageshi can do is exile to live among them.

Meet five people that exist within these two worlds and discover the true meanings of light and darkness in this world of self-indulgence, self-doubt, self-worth, and self-sacrifice.
