Long ago, in a country named Sensou no Hane, there was a legend in which four gods were told of. But before that, let's explain a little more. Sensou no Hane is governed by five tribes, namely: the Fire Tribe, the Water Tribe, the Wind Tribe, the Earth Tribe and the Sky Tribe, who currently holds the royal authority. The present ruler is a man named Asao Giichi, who took the kingship after the sudden death of his uncle, Emperor Eiji and the disappearance of the emperor's only daughter, Princess (???).
Ever since the establishment of Sensou no Hane, it has always been under a monarch government ruled by a King. Next to the King's authority are the Generals who are the leaders and strongest warriors of their tribes. The inheritance of the throne is normally done when there's a Prince in the family, or the Princess marries a noble. If the current royal family becomes extinct, the decision to crown a new King will fall upon the hands of the five Generals, as they can choose a person fit for the position from any tribe.
Long before, Priests also held great power, as they were revered as “messengers of God”. Their orders were more absolute than the King’s and they could influence a war on their desire. Most of all, they had a fearsome power to impeach the King if ever they saw him incurring God’s wrath. Due to this, they were seen as a threat and was later exiled from the castle.
According to legend, the first king, Akano, was once the Red Dragon God who took on a human form in order to rule a country. However, due to the wickedness that grew upon humans, everything had been in discord and even King Akano was captured. Amidst the chaos, four Dragon Warriors – who are “apparently” the other halves of the four dragons who came to rescue Akano – quelled the situation and protected the King. These four warriors eventually led their own tribes which are now known as the Fire, Water, Wind, and Earth.
Emperor Aji's Reign
During his reign, Sensou no Hane prospered economically and the capitals overflowed with people. Wars occurred, and the expansion of the territory extended to the neighboring countries. During this time, the priests were banished from the castle under the orders of Emperor Aji’s son, Kouji. He had the priest’s temple within the castle destroyed, and arrested many people in the process. Kouji believed that having them around was a threat to the King’s authority.
Emperor Eiji's Reign
Before Aji died, he chose his second son, Eiji, to be the next king; this was a surprise to everyone as they expected Kouji would take the crown. Eiji’s way of ruling was greatly different from his father’s and brother’s as he avoided conflicts by banning wars. Even though peace returned to Sensou no Hane, the economy dwindled and lands were given to the neighboring countries as compensation for having freedom. Moreover, this caused for corruption to be prominent within officials and influential people, making the country suffer internally.
