Tasinem

The earliest recorded settlers on Tasinem arrived on its west coast onboard large ships from Aeccelon. Records from the time make mention of their encounters with animal spirits in the woods to the south and the mountains to the west, so it is likely that the yokai of the Nobumori actually predate even these settlers. Some braved the mountains to the west and survived to create pockets of scattered communities in the lands beyond. Most though, settled in the immediate area or spilled further north into the cooler climates found there. This became the center of what would eventually grow to become the Jade Empire on Tasinem, led by the prominent Fou Family.   During the reign of the fifth Jade Emperor, Zheng Liang Fou, the goddess Kawahara blessed the emporer and the empire. Zheng Liang Fou began a series of reincarnations that allowed him to live on through various prominent members of noble families in the Jade Empire. His first reincarnation, Fu Lan fou, was known as the sixth Jade Emperor. His second reincarnation, Wan Guanting, accepted instead the title of the Immortal Emperor of the Jade Empire. In the century that followed, the Immortal Emperor shaped the Jade Empire into a place where magic, especially arcane magic, was shunned. This eventually led to the banishment, imprisonment, or execution of noteable arcane practioners within the empire. One of great power and reputation, Xue Luoyang, was banished in the year that would later become known as BH24. Along with others who followed him, he journeyed into the lands beyond the mountains and spent 25 years uniting the small settlements that had sprung up there independent of the Jade Empire. When he was done he declared himself Hotsukai, or Wizard King of the new country of Shudan, and he declared the year H1.   Meanwhile, the yokai began to retreat into the Nobumori and ventured out less and less as humans began spreading on the continent.

    The Break
    Disaster / Destruction

    Senno, the god of war, seeking to increase followers by introducing more conflict across the land, tricks and imprisons Manna, goddess of magic. Without Manna to stabilize mana throughout the material plane, it began to collect unevenly. In places with an excess of mana, magic became dangerously unstable and explosively overpowered. In other places magic was weakened or impossible to use entirely.

    10 B


    Escalation of anti-magic sentiment in Shudan
    Revolution

    Immediately following The Break almost all attention within Shudan turns towards rectifying the mana instability. In B2 magic becomes increasingly unreliable and the Hotsukai loses the ability to lead with shear power. This causes a loss of confidence and respect in the position. Conflicts become increasingly common. In the years that follow cultural respect for magic fades throughout Shudan. In B6 revolts erupt. The Hotsukai is attacked and in defending himself his unstable magic destroys a small portion of Zonyashi. Magic users are becoming pariahs in many places. In B7 internal revolts continue, and skirmishes with the yokai to the east begin erupting in earnest. By B9 there is an official eastern warfront.

    The Schism
    Disaster / Destruction

    The Hotsukai, seeking to end the conflict with the yokai, attempts to set up a magical barrier between the two kingdoms by bolstering his power with an unprecedented pocket of dense mana. In an uncontrolled chain reaction a tear in the material plane destroys most of the troops on either side of the border and creates a large pocket of lifelessness that would come to be called the Fade. The Hotsukai himself is also destroyed. A small group of elite Shudan warriors led by the barbarian Ono is cut off behind enemy lines on the eastern side of The Fade.

    Mahoryo are disbanded
    Disbandment

    The Mahoryo are officially disbanded. Non magical military takes over the Zonyashi. Small armies of yokai begin to enter Shudan via Mirin’s Pass north of The Fade. At first they are able to quickly cut through Shudan, taking over small villages and cities which lack central leadership and communication since the death of the Hotsukai.

    Arrival of Ono Eastwind
    Military action

    Ono and his soldiers enter Shudan from Mirin’s Pass and begin freeing settlements which remained under yokai control. The yokai soldiers still fighting farther west are quickly defeated, no longer able to sustain their campaign without supplies or reinforcements from the east. Ono is given the name Eastwind to symbolize his ride from the east to defeat the invaders. After attention turns away from defending Shudan, high ranking military and noble families begin to squabble about leadership of the country.

He creates the title of Inferno for the master of the tower and claims the title for himself. In the years that follow powerful wizards from all over Shudan travel to Sukorak to train under Sunstrike, who sees them more as followers than as students.

He becomes a favorite of Sunstrike. By S199 Whiteblaze takes over the role of instructor to the other wizards in Sukorak, including a young Silia Lai (age 14). Never in the past or future is the tower occupied to the capacity that it is now, with young students and older followers of Sunstrike.

    Lifeforged Riot in Ganeshuku
    Disaster / Destruction

    Workers responsible for the ongoing renovations of the Crown Hall in Ganeshuku were using a pair of the Lifeforged to move heavy material on the roof of the building when an accident sent the two crashing down to the street below. Neither were destroyed, but both were severely damaged. Although their creator, Soshu Lifeforger, had assured the Atsutane Clan that Lifeforged were more stable than primitive golems, this pair proceded to go berserk and start attacking anyone nearby. Other Lifeforged jumped in to quell the chaos, but after taking sufficient damage they proceeded to go berserk as well.   By the time the South Guard were able to put a stop to them, nearly a dozen lives had been lost, dozens more had been injured, and immeasurable damage had been done to all of the buildings in the vicinity. City officials decided to round up the remaining Lifeforged and retire them permanently, but a small handfull seemed to have disappeared in the aftermath. Soshu himself was also nowhere to be found.
