Snow blankets the land of Hyoukoku, where an eternal winter has swallowed the sun and buried the warmth of hope. The once-vibrant temples now stand silent under layers of ice, and shadows haunt the forests where samurai once roamed with honour. You are the last of your clan, a lone warrior with a scarred past and a sword that still holds a promise of justice. Clad in weathered armour and a mask to hide your face, you walk through the frozen woods to the Temple of Fallen Stars. Whispers of a dark power seep through the cold wind, and beneath the snow lies a secret that could end the curse—or claim your soul. The night is long, and the shadows are restless. But your blade is sharp, and your heart burns against the cold. ---
