Many years ago the country was ruled by the Twelve Legions. Their
reign was brutal and harsh. Many lived impoverished and as slaves.
Only in the far northern region was there a leader who openly opposed
the cruelty inflicted upon the people, and that leader was Saga Swordsman,
Lord Chen. His clan was the Sky Clan; one of the most prominent clans
in the Realm. There had been many legends about the incredible abilities
of the twelve High Masters, and about the sacred stones that were
shared with the Twelve Legions. These stones, it was said, gave the
Legions their powerful hold over the people.
It was during a fierce uprising, when one of the southern tribes began fighting
back against the tyranny of the Legion Lord controlling their territory, that
Lord Chen decided to put an end to the evil grip of the Twelve Legions. He devised
a plan to take back the control of the sacred shards and combine them once again
to give the Sky Clan the power they would need to finally put an end to the inhuman
suffering of the people.
The battle that was feared would last decades, ended within only a few days.
The power of Chen's sword was too great, even for the combined effort of the
other Legions, and peace finally came to a nation that had for so long only knew
pain and suffering.
In the years that followed, the nation flourished under the watchful eyes of
the Sky Clan. Then one catastrophic morning, it all ended. The Mountain, Fujimiya
had heaved a great plum of smoke and commenced to cover the entire region of
the Sky Clan.
For years the people had believed the Saga Swordsman and the rest of the Sky
Clan had perished in that fatal blast, and with the loss of Lord Chen the land
was left without a leader. Once again the 12 legions rose, but without the power
of the shards that they had once possessed, they could no longer control the
tides of war, and the land began to bleed as the cries of its people spread. |
