A Village Betrayed? The Founding of Namagusai. [Plot Arc.]

Feelings of hated and betrayal run deep in this world; where once the sun shined now only darkness wallows. Corruption and evil fester the wounds left by long years of oppression and absolute control. In one village, the final straw discovered; the denial of a life and the destruction of a family sets in motion a plan that seeks to repair the schisms of anger and pain and loss, and cleanse the world of it's various sins.

One a holy village, now little more than a floating bastion of self-righteousness with no substance, the Village of Amagakure has been hit with the first domestic attack in recorded history. One of it's own, a linage stretching long into the past, disillusioned with the state of the world and his home.

A man that refuses to be a pawn for a people and a government that has long lost it's way; his gypsy blood screams a warning to him of the state of the world, in times long past it was situations like this that sent his people to the brink of extinction.

A woman that had been used and abused from the moment of her birth; sold into the Geisha trade to be used as weapon, spy, and money gathering tool. Her voice and new purpose found in a moment of truth, hidden from the world in a secret place known only to herself, and her oldest friend and lover.

And now, a small child saved from a life of pain and hardship forced upon her by a village that doesn't even see her; the very people that by all rights should protect her had seen her stolen from her family, her adoptive family killed before her eyes, and her thrown to rot away in an orphanage until she was tossed onto the streets for being too old.

Across the world they will go, finding those of like mind and spirit. A holy crusade they will wage, dedicated solely to healing the world of the darkness at it's heart.

Those left behind would claim that they have fallen from the light, fallen into depravity.

And so they will adopt that as their call.

If this world is bathed in holy light, as all claim, then they will bath an unholy darkness. They will be the Namagusai. They will be known as the fallen and the corrupted; for that is what they are. On which side of the divide the world will fall, that is left to be seen. A paradigm shift is coming, and they will be the shepherds of it's arrival.
