The Era of Warring Clans

[Captain Wumbo]

Edo/Kami Era

​

A time of order in Japan, under the rule of the Tokugawa shogunate, order was slowly returning to Japan. For 100 years, peace rained over Japan. Unfortunately, things changed, history did not go as planned. A young Daimyo, one of the few left, revolted. Under normal circumstances, he would have been crushed, but, with the help of the gods, they were able to win. This man established a knew order in Japan. This man created the "Path of the Gods". This usherd in a new era, called the Nise Kami Period.


By learning The Path of the Gods, Samurai and Ninja alike, are given the ability to utilize a portion of that gods powers. With this new ability though, Daimyo's slowly began to hire many of these students, who were called "Kami Shinpō-sha". They grew powerful enough to overthrow the Shogun, and send Japan right into an era of war, called The Warring Clans. But this was a war like no other, and this introduced the "Path of the Demon", or "The Demon Way." This gave people the ability to draw from a yokai, Oni, or any of the legendary creatures power, change or transform into one, summoning one to fight or binding one into a blade.


You are a Samurai, or Ninja, hired to fight for a Daimyo, or leading an an army of them. But, with war ravaging Japan, a group called Kukutaru is rising up against them all. They wish to end this all, with war itself. Will you follow them, or will you fight them, what path will you choose.

Spoiler

The Path of the Gods is a blessing provided by the gods during a time of need. At least that is what they say, in truth, the gods are not supposed to meddle in mortal affairs. But one god known as Hachiman, grew interested in the mortal world's problem. Without permission, he blessed a young Daimyo name Yammamaoto, and helped him with his rebellion. This forced the Edo Period to shift, into the Nise Kami Period, a period were the gods finally got involved.
