The sun pierces the heavy clouds of smoke that have settled perpetually over the bustling Iron Town. Its ruler Lady Eboshi paces steadily. She has guided the settlers through the conflicts with Lords and Creatures and earned their respect, though she fears the current balance of power may overwhelm her charges. Unlike others she knows the value of trust. Despite her own significant prowess she spreads her favors to others so they may grow in esteem, knowledge, and strength as well. And she has just discovered her newest protégé though even they dont know it yet.
San and her mother Moro stalk the edges of the forest in anger. Their clan spread to the four winds by the recent conflict and who knows if they would even recognize them now. Together they seek a path forward, though whether it should be violence or compassion weighs heavily on San’s internal thoughts.
The capricious Emperor has gone back on his word to the settlers and the spirits, and seeks only to gain more power and wealth than any of his line before him. He will bring Iron Town to heel and purge the forest of its most powerful denizens. To aid him he has recruited the duplicitous Jiko-Bo as an independent agent, and seeks to swing those to his side with promises of wealth and glory unimaginable.
Okkoto has heard the cries of his slaughtered kin and hatred has descended upon him. Gone the noble creature that has patrolled the woodland for centuries. In its place only madness and rage that seeps into everything he touches, a plague to all. Those who stand in his path face corruption and death
And rumors persist of a wandering stranger with the power of demons that moves on the fringes of the land. The motivation, identity, and abilities unknown
