The Great Kingdom used to be a land of wealth and prosperity, ruled by a just Emperor. Clans of various factions and arts coexisted peacefully for the most part during his reign, and corruption was kept to a minimum, for it was impossible to completely eradicate it, even by the Emperor himself. However, when he passed away due to a strange illness, his three sons, who inherited each of the three provinces under the Kingdom, fought with one another for the throne, leading to a power struggle.
Soon enough, Akihito, the eldest of the siblings, overpowered his brothers, killing them and capturing their lands. And now, as of late, he has been turnimg the semi-democratic government into a military one, trying to obtain more power to spread his kingdom further. Many clans sided with him out of fear or the desire for power, while some opposed him for the welfare of the people. The new Emperor soon declared these clans as 'illegal', and was planning to eradicate them. These renaming clans decide to come together and form a Resistance Army for the people.
At present, in one of the provinces, a group of bandits who sided neither forces was planning an assault on one of the villages, with intentions of plundering it and capturing its women and children for its own needs. It was a clear and bright afternoon in the normally peaceful village. Fortunately, the power struggle had not affected them too badly, and life was for the most part unchanged. But even under this clear sky, people were running helter-skelter, trying to hide, locking up their homes, as a number of masked men on horseback came rushing in, brandishing swords and lit torches. Some set fire to the trees and huts while others quickly slashed down some of the menfolk. The villagers were practically helpless against these bandits.
But, unknown to both the villagers and the bandits, help was on its way, in the form of a lone masked man on horseback.
