Long ago, there was a lonesome village behind the large Daiyama mountain range. This peculiar village was difficult to reach due to the mountain terrain and travel, but was said to offer many treasures... And from fertile soil to material goods, this was true. At the cost of beloved items and riches came infestation of yokai and other spirits, but this did not scare off all travelers. In fact, some stayed, whether it may be a friendship they managed to form with the yokai or to fight them off the land. Humans who were not swayed by treasures and goods were tempted to come by for religious reasons and more. Whatever those reasons may be, those who traveled to this village either stayed, died, or ran away.

Those who stayed lived in the village known as Amazaki.

Over the years Amazaki grew, thriving with life despite the constant battle of human and yokai survival. Those who once sought solitude far from city life would discover that the village would eventually become a city, and would move away as far as possible. Scouts sent beyond [name name name] would never return, so many of them would begin new villages outside of the city, but never far enough to escape it. These new villages, from north, east, south, and west of Amazaki, would become known as Kitashimo, Inahashi, Nagoya, and Ryouke respectively.

Civilian life would continue to thrive across the land, all coexisting in a balanced cycle of life and death between humans and yokai. As the founding generation died, the new generation would become lost in time, and the two dominant species of the world would begin marking a new track of time. Year 0 would mark the discovery of the village Amazaki. Year 580 would mark the change of Amazaki from village to city. Year 1000 would mark a significant increase in humans as Year 1250 would mark an increase between yokai to human slaughter. The following years would introduce a constant bouncing back and forth between these numbers, and introduce some new number changes like the human to yokai slaughter increase during Year 1800.

It was then during Year 2500 a frightening prophecy was shared across the land: a dominant species will rule with a dominant hand; the opposing species will fall extinct before it... in given time. Dramatic changes in population for both species would occur until Year 3250. It was then that the majority of both species came to agreeable terms with each-other, though not all would be at rest. For the sake of Amazaki though, it was made so, and peace would be kept for a long period afterwards.

Year 4000 would introduce a new rumor that would shake up the thoughts and beliefs of Amazaki. Those who traveled beyond Daiyama would never return, and would thought to be dead. Many civilians proposed the idea that they have been spirited away, an old belief that has remained for years, but others may suggest that they have been the ones spirited away. Once a bizarre concept, many old scriptures have been used to argue this point, though not everyone believes. Would it be so that there is more beyond Daiyama? While the concept boomed during Year 4060, it would subside during 4200; an notable increase of deaths would be present during these years due to the amount of adventurers who would try to solve this themselves.

And so years passed... Throughout the years, life turned and turned...
It would be 2500 years since the prophecy, and 1000 years since the myth was born...
