>"Well, there's the Palace of the Earth Spirits," she says, "That's where Utsuho, the Hell Cat, and Satori come from. They're friendly, for the most part, but a bit weird. You probably met Parsee at the bridge. Well, maybe you didn't? I hear she's not showing her face much lately. There's some other big names around, but those are the biggest."
