Not much is known about this group. They are in charge of what god is chosen for what area, and the gods must do what Nature wants. But though Nature controls the gods, it's not known exactly what controls Nature. Perhaps it's beyond human understanding.
Occasionally, the Rule will step outside its boundaries, and choose a human that they want to become a mushi for one reason or another. When this happens, it's known as a mushi banquet.
After choosing the human, they then present that human with a special wine cup full of kouki. Should the human drink all the kouki in the cup, they become a mushi, with special powers of their own, in order to do Nature's will. If the banquet is interrupted for some reason, the human is split into two parts--one lives as a normal human, aging appropriately, with apparently no memory of the mushi world. The other half lives agelessly, as a weak and powerless mushi that only the most sensitive people can perceive.
The Rule is nothing to trifle with. It's nature, pure and simple, and it's just as powerful and unpredictable.
