Hi gang. I was re-thumbing through Shadows of Asia, mostly to take a break from readng SR4, and I happened to remember a few things about there being an "Awakened Nation" (mostly from previous SR3 & past entries in other books) somewhere in Russia/Asia. Does anyone know where & what page?

2 actually:
-Yakut (toward the back of the book, IIRC). Located in Siberia. I think this is the one you're thinking of. -Manchuria I would probably consider 'Awakened', should be in the China section. Spirits are considered citizens, I think that a spirit is the President, that kind of thing. |

Maybe you are looking for the jungel-ruins of Angkor in Cambodia, that are squatted by Naga and some other critters. They were first mentioned in T:AL

Not really, MK, I recall it was in Russia. I read the stuff in T:AL, but that wasn't it.
I recently read that section of Shadows of Asia that bclements mentions, and I think that's what I was looking for. I'll skim through it again later. |

Where are the bird shapeshifters from? That Shadows of Asia section mentions the spys are Owl shapeshifters, but Critters says it lists all known types and the only bird it has is Eagle.

Exactly, all known ones, more than likely theres more coming to light as the mana levels rise
Also, I thought that all of siberia revolted and became an awakened nation? |

Yea, the indigene population rbelled against the russians and with the help of some kind of free spirit and it´s shapeshifter cult, they became indipendant. But now they are not as hapy as they thought thay´d be, cuz the spirit seams to have an agenda of its own :vegm:
Edit: There have been numerous hints at other animal-shifters, than those described in the rules (swans somewere in Eire, e.g.), there are presumably lots of different types, but, since most shifters (unlike Tikki and Castillano) won´t have anything to do with humanity, they are not known to the world at large. |
