On the eastern side of Obojima, in the foothills of the Coastal Highlands, there's a long desolate stretch of dirt road known as Pelican Way that never gets overgrown. At the end of it, there's a place called Hakumon's Ramen Shop that only opens when the sun begins to set. The ramen is widely regarded as the best ramen in all of Obojima. Catering to both spirits and humanoids alike, the terse, ogre-like spirit Hakumon serves up tasty masterpieces. Along with a cadre of helpful spirits, this relic of the First Age continually serves new and long-time customers a meal that makes it worth the perils of getting there. Hakumon's ramen is so delectable that it borders on being magical. In fact, his secret recipe ramen broth is used as an ingredient in potions! Nobody knows how he makes it, only that he is a true artist.

On the whimsical island of Obojima, devices from the First Age are found in cities, towns, and dotting the landscape. Even in the depths of an overgrown forest, one can find remnants of past technology. Many islanders have come to rely on spirit-infused vending machines to buy and sell their wares, homebrewed potions, and more. Seeing a coven witch ride by on a bicycle, or hearing the stuttering purr of a kei truck coming down the road, are some of the sights and sounds that make Obojima feel like home. Through a magical process called "whelming," spirits on the island can bring these relics of a bygone era to life, giving them new purpose and giving many Obojimans a new means of adventuring, or working. While this may feel mundane to an islander, it makes Obojima a unique and charming place to explore and live.

Whether part of one of the many covens that hold influence, or a cloistered researcher working on their own, the witches of Obojima are an integral part of society and the foremost researchers of potion brewing. The witch covens of Obojima dedicate themselves to delving into all the hidden secrets locked away on the island. Secrets that each coven try to keep from another in a sportspersonlike rivalry. Each major coven holds a volume of a book known as Granny Prumple's Almanac of Island Ingredients: The How-Tos and What-Fors on the Craft of Potions, in Seven Volumes, which they each guard closely as a reference for their magical potion brewing techniques. The Fish Head Coven, which is the largest and most influential of the covens, boasts owning a stately two volumes. The witch covens are a part of the whimsical tapestry that weaves Obojima into such a magical place!
