Current World Events Kakureta

Cycle of Autumn Leaves: 3rd Crescent, Year 1256 After Descent (A.D.)

Overview
@Kakureta Kuni – The Hidden Country breathes in the hush before another storm. The fractured remnants of shogunal rule rust beneath the weight of ambition, silence, and blood. The capital whispers treason in silk halls, the plains burn beneath rival flags, and ancient rites awaken in mist-wrapped provinces. Factions old and emergent reposition, each step echoing down ancestral paths.

Peace is not broken—it is eroded, ceremony by ceremony.

@House of Ryokudan

  • Judicial Intervention:
    A @House of Ryokudan emissary has halted a seppuku in @Shirohana – The White Blossom Capital —citing improper ancestral rites. This act may signal a shift in their neutrality.

  • Mistward Shifts:
    Covenant waystations once open to pilgrims are now sealed. Dream readers have gone silent.

  • Shogunate succession scrolls risk igniting a three-front civil legitimacy war in @Kōkaiten – The Imperial Heartland .

  • @House of Ryokudan ’s neutrality is fracturing—divine law may soon be enforced at bladepoint.

  • @Moonwake Covenant sightings are increasing along leyline faults. Something stirs beneath the mist.
