Note: When updating this chapter, I made some small changes to certain bits of lore, namely the five stones. They were supposed to be a reference to the Chinese concept of Wuxing, but I decided that was a little cultural-appropriation-y. I changed the wording and the ideas behind it so that it wasn't specifically based on that system, so anyone who wants to can still think of it as the Wuxing, but hopefully no one will mistake it for the real thing, and hopefully it won't come off as a bad copy of the real thing.
