Personal history

Early in the history of the world several powerful spirits crossed into the material plane and made their home in the in the Elderhaven Reaches, each settling in one of the cardinal directions. These four spirits were the black turtle Genbu, the vermilion bird Suzaku, the white tiger Byakko, and the azure dragon Seiryu. In their wake several lesser spirits flooded into the material plane. However, a fifth great spirit followed soon after, jealous of the new home the first four found and the respect they had earned from the mortal inhabitants on the land. This fifth spirit was Orochi. Orochi wrought destruction on the people and the land, transforming and corrupting the lesser spirits who preceded her. This angered the four great guardian spirits, who waged a great war against Orochi which split the continent in several parts and sunk many other parts beneath the ocean. Over the course of this conflict, Orochi learned of a wider world beyond the Elderhaven Reaches and began laying plans to expand her influence. Learning of this, the four guardian spirits weaved a powerful spell to create a black fog that would keep Orochi from leaving. The spell worked and Orochi was furious, lashing out with brash and brazen attacks in her anger. The four spirits took that opportunity to seal Orochi beneath the earth where she could never surface and try to exert control over the world again.
Seiryu is currently trapped within a mirror known as the Eight-sided Mirror, which Thaddeus once carried on his person, but has returned to the Elderhaven Reaches.
