Block Mountain

拒山

He stands between the Capital and the wild — a towering sentinel known as Block Mountain, the Emperor’s most trusted guardian. At 2,834 blocks tall, he casts a shadow long enough to cover the entire city, his arms like gates that close without warning.

Opponents speak of the echo his defense makes — a sound like thunder striking through wood and pride alike. Every challenge meets the same fate: rejection, followed by silence. His presence alone bends the rhythm of the game, forcing even the boldest to hesitate.

The Eternal Shogun calls him the shield of Edo, the living wall that no dynasty can breach. Yet Block Mountain never boasts; he only raises his hand, again and again, protecting the Capital as if it were the very heart of the game.
