#### Recorded History

##### The Kinmei Alliance

The Kinmei Clan claims that they originated from the original Imperial Family. The Kinmei claim that their Emperors descend from the Sun Goddess Amaterasu herself, and in using that divine power, they were able to unite 4 other clans under their wing. These 5 clans would form an alliance and work together in order to survive the turbulent times. As people banded together and things calmed down, the Great Emperor Furusawa was able to convince more and more clans to unite under him due to his blood relation to Amaterasu. However, the 4 original allies felt like they were being replaced and losing power, so Emperor Furusawa decided to name the 4 original allies as the 4 noble clans. This gave these 4 clans more legitimacy and power, forming the Imperial Court which eventually decided that they needed a permanent residence. Once they decided on Kyoto, this lead to the formation of the Walrusian Empire. However, the name Walrusia comes from the Myth of The Great Walrus. In order to appear as a warrior state, and one of strength and power, the name of Walrusia was chosen by Emperor Kichihito, who died just before the founding of Kyoto. Each of the 4 noble clans claims to have originated from somewhere else and to be related to a different Kami. These clans consist of the Heishi, the Iwai, the Minamoto and the Nakatomi

##### Hososaku War

There was a great war under the rule of Emperor Furosawa known as the 包装索戦争 or the Hososaku War. The Hososaku people were known for wearing these rope like wrappings around their waists and were a direct competitor to the Kinmei. The Hososaku were atheists who didn't believe in a god nor the Emperor. They denied the Emperor's claims and refused to join the Kinmei Alliance. Due to the fact that they denied the Kinmei's legitimacy, they also posed the greatest obstacle to the establishment of civilization as they refused to allow the Kinmei to settle in the Kansai region. They believed that there was only despair and thus there was no point. So from 2750-2830, the Kinmei and the Hososaku battled, which greatly slowed down any attempts at civilization due to the constant bloodshed at such low populations. The Kinmei eventually defeated the Hososaku, and by 2850, the Hososaku died out, leaving only the Kinmei and their allies behind.

#### Samurai Lifestyle and Bushido take over

Due to Koga's leadership, military lifestyle started to become commonplace and concepts like Bushido were ideas that everyone had.
Excerpt from Decree 5:

"Officers come from the Samurai Class and are trained from birth to be military leaders and combat experts while Ashigaru are common foot soldiers who’re still higher in society than just ordinary people

It becomes part of the national education policy to be taught to give your life for the Emperor and to maintain your honor

You must do nothing to dishonor your family and gain as much as possible through valor and winning battles.

And every person must be willing to sacrifice themselves for the Empire."
