The official founding of the clans

Founding

The Kami begin to build their own seats of power.

The Isawa Calendar notes this year as the official founding of the Kami's clans; the Crab, the Crane, the Ki-Rin, the Owl, the Phoenix, and the Scorpion. The reason being that the Kami follow in the footsteps of their Emperor Brother and found their own seats of power. These castles will be known as Kyuden Bayushi, Kyuden Doji, Kyuden Hantei, Kyuden Hida, Kyuden Shiba, and Kyuden Shinjo.   A young woman by the name of Asako becomes one of Shiba's followers, surprising him with her knowledge of the world.   Shinjo and her followers begin training horses to be used for riding. This allows them to travel the empire swiftly, giving them an advantage in the budding trade of the Empire.
