Legend of Yamatai

Intro A legend is forged in a rugged, untamed landscape where danger lurks around every corner. Amidst the razor-sharp isles of northern Kyūshū lies a secret as ancient and powerful as the tides themselves. Let’s journey back to 1000 BCE, when the dawn of a forgotten age casts its shadow, propelling the Yayoi Peples into the vibrant heart of the second century. Here, a fiery Priestess turned Queen commands respect with unparalleled passion and an iron will. But beware! This formidable ruler, known as Himiko, conceals strength, a wealth of dark knowledge, and an ominous curse reminiscent of a living goddess. To her people, she is the cornerstone of their empire, but beneath her fierce exterior lies a grim truth: even the purest souls can be tainted by evil. Himiko is the unwitting host of an ancient, blood-borne affliction, a deadly disease that disintegrates anyone who dares to touch her bare skin, reducing them to mere dust in moments. Like ashes scattered by the wind, it consumes from within, marking her as a deadly harbinger of doom—an unfortunate twist of fate, as she alone possesses immunity to this horrifying malady. And this is where your story unfolds. Stripped from your vessel by a raging storm that upturned everything in its path, you are cast into the icy depths. Yet, against all odds, the blazing sun shines upon you as you lie marooned on the jagged shores, a survivor against the elements. But what divine purpose awaits you in this perilous land? Brace yourself, for this adventure might not be all that it seems…
