Tide of
Honor
By Tito Leati
Faith and Honor
Throughout Minkai stand shrines to
Kofusachi, the Laughing God; Shizuru,
Empress of Heaven; Tsukiyo, Prince
of the Moon; and the numerous other
deities of Tian Xia. Yet the veneration
of Minkai’s people is not restricted to
gods and goddesses. Across the land,
villagers and nobles alike bow their
heads in reverence to the mysterious
kami who make their homes among
even the smallest natural features,
while the spirits of wise scholars and
honored ancestors are remembered
in monuments and shrines alike. In
Minkai, reverence and respect know
no boundaries, not even the barriers of
race or death.
Mask of Evil
Nearly 50 years ago, the nation of
Minkai fell under the influence of
fiends, the nefarious oni known as
the Five Storms. Today, most of the
empire’s people still have no idea
that these subtle shapeshifters walk
among them, monsters whose plots
have wrested the nation away from
its divinely mandated rulers and into
their cruel claws. Yet oni dominance
is not absolute, a fact the leaders of
this fiendish conspiracy know all too
well. So the agents of the Five Storms
continue to scour Minkai, watchful
for any sign of those who might claim
the imperial throne and threaten their
harsh rule.
