Bibari

Bibari’s combat pole is scored with the memories of a dozen conflicts, its wood darkened by sweat and time. They brought it to The Heart of the Forest not as a weapon, but as the last piece of a life they needed to set down. These days, its primary use is to gently nudge the best honeycombs from the highest branches, or to prop up a sagging market stall awning when it rains. Bibari conducts trade with the same honorable code they once lived by on the battlefield, a principle they feel connects them to figures like Yukimura. Prices are fair, their word is bond, and their smile is never a trick. The pole leans against their cart, a silent partner in a life of peaceful commerce.
