They mimicked the highest peaks to know true strength!

~Stubbornness of Terrakion~

Even the Divine could not predict such stubbornness!

When asked to deter from his path.

He would not!

When told that his purpose had been fulfilled.

He disagreed!

But when asked to come to reason?

He could with grace.

“Humans still exist.” He informed.

“Pokemon still exist.” He continued.

“As long as love exists, so does conflict.” He concluded.

The Divine Creator could not sway him.

She needed more lifetime than eternity.

So she would find a middle ground.

“If thou shall stand here.” She would command, “Thou will not relent.”

“Not for Pokemon, not for Humans, not for the Divine!”

“Thou shall hold this and hold it close without being separated by time.”

The Warrior was hesitant to do so, but he would comply.

He stood in the middle of a path where many would pass:

Warlords, refugees, and anyone who desired to tread the path.

Stubbornly, the warrior held his ground and did not move an inch.

Even when nations attacked one another, they knew it was hopeless.

All campaigns were in vain. None would dare pass him.

All options were exercised but one.

To reason they came.

~History~

The Creator had a plan for Terrakion, but stubborn as a mountain, he would not abandon his passions for his previous assignment unlike his brethren. Thus, he would protect others and what was important from where he stood: at the heart of a strategic route that was settled between three nations of Kobushi, Kigan, and Daichi nations. All of the warring between the nations and their Pokemon were met with resistance from Terrakion who did not want to abandon its cause to protect the weak but did not dare to disobey the Goddess who gave him more power to accomplish his task. Eventually, the nations would have to settle around Terrakion and negotiate peacefully their needs. Although Terrakion was not involved, the vigilance of the guised warrior with monstrous strength was intimidating enough to come to agreement or else face his wrath. This was what created the Kobushi Alliance.

The Hōjō Clan was especially a clan of note due to the legendary warrior taking interest in the Lady of the clans to live his purpose through. So they are looked at as much respect due to the nation prizing the blood of Terrakion and his offspring, but they still live in humility. Much of their power is shared through the Takeda and the Shimazu who often are drawn upon to serve as retainers if not representatives as they ruled their own nation before coming into the alliance.

The Clans all share the trait of using overwhelming strength and their own aura in order to reach their power to the pinnacle of strength. This often leaves no other possibility than to make Pokemon and Warlords flinch in the presence of their powerful display. As an alliance, it is not only in battle, but also in diplomacy that they show their overwhelming strength as years of standing in the presence of Terrakion has taught them how to mimic his stone-like facade and intimidating silence to convey their serious nature.

The nation of Kobushi is a legendary stubbornness that does not falter for the sake of peace for its people.

~Culture~ 

The Kobushi Alliance is the largest of the nation’s spanning over three separate Kingdoms to make a three-section area composed of stone walls in a diameter and homes composed of hardened clay. The people may live with little luxury resources, but they are content as they have resorted to the simplest of needs almost making them seem as if they live in poverty (although this is far from the truth). The people have shared their arts to commune with nature. They are so Intune with their physical strengths and bodies from observing the stalwart and disguised Terrakion who used nothing but focus and supreme strength to topple their proud and physically strong militia. A great deal of these militia and its warriors seem to represent Monks more so than Warlords.

The Kobushi Alliance do not have much nobility, but their alliance does use representatives and council to represent the people. Certain members, blood to the legendary warrior, preside over these meetings and are symbolic to the time when Terrakion would watch over them. The strongest of warriors are seen not just by their physical strength, but their ability to harness “Aura.” Due to this ability, they can sense many different emotions and remain aware. This aspect is also key to their ability to intimidate foes who dare believe they can overpower them, and even more, communicate with Pokemon.
