Spring* Posted December 4, 2019 Posted December 4, 2019 Cruel, disciplined and dedicated to creating a flawless katana fighting form, Kazan is a twisted samurai with misplaced values whose insecurities fuel his insatiable need to hunt down and humiliate farmers posing as samurai. Trained by his father, a legendary samurai, Kazan sought to surpass his reputation as a warrior by embarking on a dark, warrior pilgrimage. His morbid cruelty, insatiable bloodlust and his heartless rage earned him the name ‘Oni-Yamaoka’ and attracted the attention of The Entity that fed into his narcissism and stoked his insecurities.One night, after butchering a beloved lord, the entire town turned against him with farming tools repurposed as weapons. Before long the farmers trapped Kazan in an old mill, took turns torturing him, then left him to die a slow, agonizing death. When they returned his body and kanabo were nowhere to be found.

NEW MAP SANCTUM OF WRATHOnce opulent and well-tended by priests, the shrine was abandoned for reasons unknown. Season after season, the harsh and unforgiving weather corroded its grandeur. Paths that welcomed weary travelers, were now thick with vegetation growing damp and unrestrained. The sculptures were a haven for moss and lichen, concealing a scratched and brittle stone.Kazan shuddered with rage as he stepped into the area. Unable to restrain himself, he unleashed his might on a statue atop the shrine, clubbing its arms and head to pieces. Even after he left, a rot seemed to pervade the air. The chimes of bells played softly on the wind, as everything around them crumbled. Torn from Kazan's memories, the shrine now stood on the estate of his childhood home—a trick by The Entity that infuriated him more.
