Kuren Village

The Kuren Village, also referred to as Kuren, is a micronation comprised of a single large village, the namesake of the nation. The Kuren became infamous for enslaving users of Energy Arts and other powers to use for the interests of their nation.

History
Around 100 BC, the Kuren nation first formed. In this time, the Kuren Village was a isolationist nation with no real desire for war or power. In the decades following they were led by a multitude of leaders. In 50 BC, an incident that would sow the seeds of hatred between the Inoue and Kuren villages took place when a convoy of Inoue travelers was mistaken for a gang of criminals and massacred by Kuren soldiers.

By the time 0 AC had come around, an individual known as Boro became the head of the village after slowly ascending the ranks in the previous decades.

With the rise of Boro, the policy of Kuren shifted from isolationist to seeking power and glory. In 1 AC the First Kuren-Inoue War broke out as a result of Kuren seeking the Inoue land and resources, with the war ending the same year in a stalemate after a successful intervention by Yugatoro to avert further fighting.

Starting in 10 AC, the Kuren implemented a new strategy: abducting those gifted with Energy Arts and making them their pawns. The most infamous of those abducted was Juzo Nurenjeru, who became the most feared and powerful individual in the Kuren's arsenal. Kagami and Bachi were also among those abducted, and became a assassin duo for the Kuren. With their new weapons, the Kuren began the Second Kuren-Inoue War in 20 AC in an attempt to finally crush their longtime rivals. Class Courageous failed to resolve the war through diplomatic means, resulting in them being pulled into the war when Boro ordered the class killed. After many battles, Boro was imprisoned and the Kuren people freed from his tyranny, setting them on the path to becoming a democratic country, along with resolving the long lasting rivalry between the Kuren and the Inoue.

Locations
Notable locations within the Kuren Village include:


 * Great Mansion: A grand mansion surrounded by walls. The mansion is reserved for the head of the Kuren Village. However, the mansion was destroyed in the Second Kuren-Inoue War as a result of the battle between Takao Chiyonofuji and Yoichi.
 * Pit Wastelands: The wastelands surrounding the Kuren Village have a bizarre feature: large, gaping holes all around, so deep that all can be seen in them is pitch black. If one were to fall in one of the holes, they'd find themselves in an underground lake.
 * Lockup: A large prison complex where Juzo Nurenjeru spent much of his life.
