Imperial Clans

After the devastating loss of life during a massive civil war and his enemies at the foot of his mountain, the emperor brought all his remaining loyal subject clans together in the east to form a grand imperial rule, risen from the ashes of it's former feudal kingdom to reunite and tame the many disloyal and bloodthirsty clans of the west whom have risen against him under the leadership of a new king from the blood fused fox clan.

The two forces met each other for the last time on the mountainous battlefield in the feudal kingdom's capital, The emperor managed to slay the fox clan king along with all the other clan leaders loyal to him, victory was the emperor's, it was a costly victory as the imperial ruler lost his entire left arm, his loving wife and his only two remaining blood-related brothers during the fighting, the imperial forces then swept through the what remained of the rearguard deep into enemy territory taking no prisoners, bringing the disloyal clans which had risen against him to justice, the blood fused fox clan taking the majority of the blame, paying dearly with their lives through public executions until there was but one lone female survivor left, Ridgsue Muzaori (widow from the Littrue clan)

Ridgsue would have to rebuild the clan completely by herself, luckily one of the former neighboring clans was happy to arrange a marriage with her, together they would settle into the forest of their former territories with permission granted from the new owners of said territories, the Kitnova clan.

Years later the imperial capital would begin hosting many tournaments that the most heinous of lawbreakers from among the clans would fight one another to the death as a means of entertainment to help prevent most the clans in the empire from fighting amongst themselves.
