Game Premise

[Fukurokujin]

In the wake of the death of Hantei XXXVIII, the absence of the Emerald Champion Toturi, and the absence of the Princes--Crown Prince Sotorii and Imperial Prince Daisetsu--Bayushi Shoju has assumed the Regency. The Clans and the courts chafe, uncertain, and their unease ripples out across the Empire. For though it is said that Daisetsu has been named his father’s heir, it is the voice of a Scorpion that says it loudest, and all know that things are not as they seem with the Clan of Secrets.

Amid the burgeoning unrest, an old enemy of the established order works to gain control of the opponent it has faced for so long. And the One Enemy of the Empire still slumbers uneasily shuddering, perhaps, toward wakefulness at last.

Despite the turmoil, the Forty-Second Emerald Legion is on the march to the Wall to bolster the Crab at the southern border of the Empire. It must ensure that it reaches the Wall with sufficient strength to fight, both in terms of support and in combat ability, and the empty miles teem with their own perils for even so large a group.
