Today marks a new chapter in the grand history of the Jade Lotus Empire, as we bear witness to the end of the glorious reign of Tsuiteru Koharu. Koharu reigned as Empress, after her grandmother, Tsuiteru, stepped down from the throne. It was due to her leadership, that the Empire has risen to the skies and endured despite those that would see us fall. However, as all who live under the Celestial Order, even a mighty Empress must heed to the will of the Heavens. And when the kami speak, we listen. It is through their wisdom, blessings, and guidance that we bore witness to the rise of a new Emperor. And many in the realm were curious to see who this new Emperor would be.. The Archon and Shadow Warden of the Cabbala crawled out of the caverns, though it was not till the end of the coronation that their true treachery was brought to light. When the Archon presented our new Emperor with a symbolic gift, a bridge. While it was not said openly, her words implied that it was the Cabbala that had blown up the favored bridge of our former Empress, Koharu…setting off the chain of hostility between our Empire and Helheim. The King of Helheim called for a week’s ceasefire of hostilities and conducted himself admirably, for a gaijin. The same could not be said of his Queen who showed up to the coronation drunker than a Nekoyami on their day off and disparaging our sacred beliefs as usual. But perhaps in light of recent news, we can come to terms with our neighbors and focus on the true threat to the safety and sanctity of this realm. Of course many of the Royal Family were in attendance to show their support and solidarity. House Ryu of Helheim will always be welcome with their family in the Empire, and the blessings of the Fortunes will be spread across the realm. There were many citizens of the Empire, eager to see the passing of the throne and whether or not Derizael would receive the blessings of the Heavens. Beyond the many tails of our revered Jade Oracle, Mitsuke, the new Emperor awaits to see if his ascension to the High Seat of Heaven will be blessed by the kami. The Oracle announced that Tsugashi Derizael’s rise to the throne was ordained, and in response, thunder and storms were heard echoing across the skies as a sign of his Fortune’s favor. The new Emperor decreed that the Celestial Order would be the law of the land to provide order and stability to the Empire, where all citizens can find their place under the will of Heaven.
Court was concluded, and upon the Archon’s presentation of her offensive ‘gift’, the Emperor cleared the palace of gaijin with a roar. And the citizens of the Empire were left to celebrate amongst themselves and enjoy a bountiful feast. Comments are closed.
