Bhutan

Despite legends, traditions, and architecture that indicate a distinct Bhutanese culture dating back millennia, little is known of the country’s history prior to the 1600s. This less-traveled Himalayan country is steeped in magic and produces mystics of surprising quality. It is an insular nation with insular people and superhumans. Rather than join the world stage, its magicians plot and scheme against one another for power within Bhutan itself. It is said there are no superheroes or supervillains in Bhutan, but rather superhumans doing good and evil (mostly) to one another.
The one exception to this is Yeti and the “Overhill Railroad” with which he’s associated that offers refuge and guidance for supers fleeing China. A cadre of magicians and other supers cooperate to keep the refugees moving to safety, often using the Temporal Tunnels common in the country to facilitate their escape. Working against them in secret is a being known as Duiyu Lieren (The Hunter), a mystic who uses the traditional magic of Bhutan to find these fleeing supers and return them to China.
