Setting: Japan in the 1500's
Plot:
Japan has no emperor, no king, no dictator to enforce a party line. Instead there are warring factions throughout the islands, each faction attempting to ascend to power and put it's indelible mark on Japanese history as ruling Shogunate. While there are a number of small groups which float from territory to territory, three main factions have claimed the nation: Hirimoto, Kemmu and Mirumachi. These groups have attained just enough manpower and weaponry to stalemate the other, the leadership of all three knowing that they will need some sort of new power source to gain complete control.
Through this backdrop of mayhem and chaos stands one lone samurai who has rejected his former code and pursues a path that would have him walk in peace instead of war. He lives in a small cottage buried deep within the Northern forest, far removed from the conflicts he wishes to forget. Unaware to him is that his former tribe, the Kemmu, has sent an assassin to take his life for his cowardly abandonment. As the assassin draws close to his hiding place, a flicker of light comes into existence a few miles north. The light grows brighter as time passes, the brightness heralding something new, something utterly terrifying...
