War of the 7 Clans

In early Japan there were 7 clans, each represented by a flower. The Risu Clan headed by Risu Egakai was symbolized by the Sunflower. The Delicate Shuei Clan was led by Shuei Inano with the Lily as their symbol. The Tsu Clan used the Plum Blossom as their symbol with their Leader Tsu Re they were a powerful opponent. The Irisu Clan was led by Irisu Koyuu with the Iris as their Flower. The Yuko Clan was a high Dominating power with Yuko Shigure as their leader and the Cherry Blossom as their Flower their power was one second to the Kuo Clan. The Aisai Clan used the Rose as their Flower Headed by Aisai Uruki they were one of the more peaceful clans. The last and most powerful Clan was none other than the Kuo Clan which ruled the Country Emperor Kuo Ikkai was the leader of his Clan and Country. The Kuo Clan's flower was the Chrysanthemum

On the surface everything looked peaceful yet like any country there was corruption. For Emperor Ikkai had gotten Lax on his policies. When the Eldest son was deemed certain for the throne after Ikkai passed away. Ikkai's second wife became Jealous. Determined to put her own son on the throne she devised a plan. She poisoned Ikkai, throwing the country into innermost turmoil. Many Clan official’s inside the Imperial Court began to plot to make sure the son they most favored for Emperor to be put on the throne. Some supporting the Eldest Son, others the Second son, and still more others the youngest son. Yet before the mourning was over for Ikkai’s passing, the Eldest son was found murdered by an Assassin. Now with the Second son, Terian on the throne, four of the Clans decided to take action. The Shuei and Tsu Clan’s Concerned for the emperor’s safety sent out their finest Samurai for Terian to use as he pleased. Yet the Irisu and Yuko Clan’s Unsatisfied with the new Emperor sent out Assassins and Mercenaries to eliminate the new Emperor once and for all.
