OVERVIEW: Kosenjoubi is a ghost fire, known for floating over battlegrounds, and is often found on old battlefields.

APPEARANCE: Countless red fireballs float in the night air. They resemble the souls of fallen soldiers. The lights flicker and drift aimlessly over the ground. Sometimes they take the shape of wounded men. The fires glow with a mournful energy.

BEHAVIOR: They manifest from the blood and strong emotions of the dead. The fires wander the site where battles took place. They seek the body parts they lost in war. These lights retain the regret of those who died violently.

INTERACTIONS: Travelers see them hovering over grassy plains at night. They are spooky but generally act harmlessly toward the living. People offer prayers to appease the spirits within the fire.

OTHER FORMS: None.
