Now, the once bustling village lies in ruin and only a select few blacksmiths are permitted to enter the forge found at its heart.

      To anyone having trouble fiding the post Alph Demo survey, its in the drop down when you hover over the Nioh 2 Alpha Demo. In the "more from Nioh 2 Alpha Demo" section on the PSN. It has a picture of a cute little purple Sodama. Survey took me about 10 minutes, probably would take most people a little less time than that.
