Resurrected Darkness
Xerra, a world that was once dominated by nations of varying cultures and wonders has all been brought together under the rule of the Imperial Ascendancy. It is said that a god among men leads this massive empire, he is known by only one title, his true name unknown to even those within the Ascendancy, the Celestial Emperor. A man who is both mysterious and unrivaled. He has conquered many a land, claiming it for greed and ambition. As his vast empire grows, many rage against him, refusing to be defeated and live under the shadow of his rule. Many have fallen, but there are still some that continue to fight and strive for victory against this god. One of the few lands left on Xerra that has held out is Nagazawa. For years they held their own against them with the mighty warriors of the Dragon Clan unyielding in the face of oblivion. However, with the reforms of the Ascendancy High Chancellor Ru-Long, and the consolidation of its power, the Ascendancy pushes on Nagazawa's borders like never before.
As the lines crumble, the other clans have rallied, sending aid and forces to reinforce the Dragon Clan, but the tide has turned and there appears to be no way to stop it. No way to halt the Imperial Legions that crush across their borders. Knowing this, the Shogun HideshiI attempted to commune with the great kami spirit of his land, that of the Crane, and it is said he had a vision, after much debate over what the vision meant between the scholars of the Veharis Spire, a plan was formed. A desperate plan, a foolish plan... and the only hope for their survival.The plan, itself, straight forward, the Celestial Emperor must die.
Straight forward but impossible. To reach the Celestial Emperor, they had to travel across hostile territory, span the great vast lands of the Ascendancy, infiltrate the forbidden city and breach the imperial palace and confront the man whispered to be a god. Members of this group were specially selected by the Shogun and the Clan Daimyo for this mission, great warriors of bushido, mighty shugenji with their mysterious and potent magic powers, the shadow warriors of the shinobi and even powerful, honorless, ronin were called to service. They would be led by the great Dragon Clan Daimyo, herself, if they succeed it will shatter the Ascendancy into rogue warlords and rebellious client states, glory and wealth beyond measure will be theirs, each and every member made immortal through stories of their deeds.. if they fail, their lands will fall, they will be tortured and executed and all they love will burn.
They must not fail.
