Recent History of Kakureta Kuni
For generations, @Kakureta Kuni stood as a fractured harmony—an island nation defined by quiet power, ancestral rites, and feudal etiquette. The Shogunate once governed from @Kōkaiten , issuing edicts through calligraphy and command, relying on spiritual order and martial hierarchy. But as lineages stretched thin and loyalty eroded beneath the weight of stagnant bureaucracy and buried grudges, the ink dried and the blades rose.
The collapse of the central Shogunate began not with a coup, but a silence. One by one, vassal provinces ceased to respond. Messages were delayed. Ambassadors vanished. Orders were ignored. Then, a series of regional wars broke out in the southern fields of @Gekisen-no-Hara . What began as a dispute over grain routes ignited a wildfire of succession claims, old vendettas, and border purges.
The @Kakureta’s Imperialists formed in the power vacuum, a paper-shield regime centered in the reconstructed halls of @Ishin-no-Hōden (Hall of Renewed Law) . Though idealistic in vision, it remains fragile—its scrolls outpaced by swords. Warlord factions like the @Crimson Wolf Banner , @Hollow Iron Line , and the @Painted Fang have carved out territories in open defiance. @Retsudō-no-Kuni , once the spine of tradition, now splinters under dueling clans and forgotten vows.
Meanwhile, the sacred lands of @Tōgetsuden remain untouched, protected not by soldiers but by silence—and by the strongest of the @Tenfold Blades .
No one truly rules @Kakureta Kuni now. Authority is earned moment to moment—through blade, breath, word, or memory.
The current age is one of fractured legacies, whispered alliances, and quiet wars. It is a time of watching, waiting, and walking the line between duty and survival.
