The Villains
Game Background
It was the year 1126. Kakita Toshimoko had just been made Emerald Champion and was desperately searching Satsume's notes and investigating in the palace to explain the unexplainable...that Doji Hoturi had sent him away to be ambushed by a ninja attack, then marched away without explanation, leaving no Crane to enter the championship. The Scorpion had been sent from the empire, but there seemed to be traces of their poisoned touch everywhere. Rumors from the south were coming that Hida Kisada had abandoned his duty the Wall and the Empire at disgust over Hantei's weak leadership and were allowing Shadowlands madman to gather and raid the villages on the outskirts of Crane Lands. Some witnesses even claimed the missing Doji Hoturi was leading them. Our group of magistrates were some of the few left in a capital city that was falling apart.
