Valley of Spirits

The Valley of Spirits is a region located in an unoccupied area of the People's Republic of China. Many years ago, a Makluan space vessel crash-landed in the valley, where it remained undiscovered for quite some time. It's pilot, Axonn-Karr, emerged from the craft, bu was perceived as a monster by the locals, who attacked him, doling out a mortal injury. Axon-Karr retreated to a cave to nurse his wounds.

An angry and ambitious Chinese man later known as the Mandarin discovered Axon-Karr, and through their exchange, learned of the existence of ten powerful crystals used in the star drive engine of his ship. The Mandarin slew Axon-Karr, then used the crystals to form ten powerful rings, which would become his trademark weapons for years to come.

The Mandarin created an immense castle fortress in the Valley of Spirits, which became his primary headquarters.
