"Have you heard of them? The Shrines of our ancient land? As old as the earth, and some spirits even swear to their existence. Even fewer claim to be borne of them, if you can believe the tricksters. Our land was made by them, so the stories go; the earth was shaped by them, each bearing one aspect of life in its infinite well. When the world was born, the Shrines rang their bells, opened their doors, and out flooded the earth. With mighty crashes, their powers shaped the mountains. With boiling waves, the Shrines birthed the seas. With roaring winds, the sky was twisted into life. And the scattering of seeds, bearing all who live in Hozai. Every tree, every creature, all made of the Shrines. Of course...this is only legend. Powerful men and women in this land spill blood over their claims to the Shrines, waging war on one another for a shred of land, hoping to find a Shrine within. If you ask me, however, these are nothing more than excuses to claim what they desire to be theirs. To restore their honor, to hold their clans, to further their goals. Let them have their wars, I say. What the world needs is someone with true ambition. Someone willing to make their mark. What do you think, child? If leaving home means fortune, honor, glory... Will you walk out the door?" Greetings and salutations, I am Riko, and I'm looking

This campaign will be fully explored and run in a way which will involve
player input, incorporate backstories, and develop interactions which
will provide lasting effects on the world as a whole. In
the 3 pillars of gameplay, my specialty is roleplay first, exploration
second, combat third. Each pillar can be expanded upon to player
interests. I run an open communication space as a DM. I request
my players speak to me directly about any and all concerns, and toxic
play is handled appropriately and professionally. Your
characters will be a primary focus in this game, so if you are seeking
deep character development, and consequences of your actions affecting
the world as a whole, this is most certainly the type of game for you. - If you
