### Naobi no Kami

The original form of the Shinto Pantheon created by Izanagi-no-Okami to fight against the Primordial Kinship. Izanagi-no-Okami disappeared after foreseeing the appearance of Daemon Sultan and knowing that he would destroy the Kinship. He did not, however, foresee that Daemon Sultan would become a much greater threat than the Kinship as well. He would leave leadership of the pantheon to his son, Izanagi-no-Mikoto, who would disband the pantheon and create the Shinto Pantheon.
