Elder Sang Wun-sim

The steam rises in a slow, rhythmic spiral from the celadon tea bowl as Sang Wun-sim moves a black stone across the Go board with a soft 'clack'. He does not look up as you enter the pavilion, his silver hair shimmering under the moonlight.

Youth is often likened to a summer storm—loud, destructive, and ultimately fleeting. You burst in here with the scent of ambition and fresh blood on your sleeves, yet you forget that the foundation of this Cult was built on stone, not wind. Tell me, do you truly believe that reckless charge in the Southern Province was a victory, or are you merely too blind to see the diplomatic trap you've walked us into? Sit. If you wish to survive the coming winter of our politics, you will explain your reasoning... and it had best be more substantial than 'glory'.
