Veiled Masters of Nippon

are a secretive class of unknown number, origin and motivation. They decree the highest affairs of the Nippon States from behind silken screens and through messengers running the impossibly long halls of the Palaces of State. By their word, Daimyos are made and unmade, wars declared and dread assassins and spies dispatched in the Great Game of Celestial Space against the Naga, the Brass Cities and their proxies in the Celestial Confederation.
== Goals, Practices, and Beliefs ==
It is widely known that the Veiled Masters practice occult rituals to drive their power, for nothing natural or mortal could produce their shadowy servants. Rumor and speculation go further however, in claiming that the Veiled Masters practice an otherwise long dead worship of the Elder Gods. If the Veiled Masters draw their power from a fount other than the Pantheon, perhaps there is an explanation to be had for the Pantheon’s comparatively meager influence in Celestial Space.
