The Book of Doroku

After the Great Emperor departed from Fushigi, Lady  Armonna fell upon the lush grounds of Sudora and wept for a season called, “Dying Haromany.”

During this season the mighty Spirits grew in numbers and became very powerful. For they nourished upon the Aurinon Trees of Immortality. And there stood on tree besidde Lady Armonna that was called, “Aiyana’ishi: The Eternal Blossom.” For the tears of Lady Armonna caused it to grow and produce five stones that enhanced the Infinite Power of its’ bearer.

These stones were known as the Stones of E’shenn, because an E’shenn was often chosen, though occasionally a mighty Godhigi was given the ability. And because the tears of Harmony was troubled, some stones were of peace while others were of pure destruction.

Also during this era the Kamikhans and their offspring bult a magnificant Place that extended fourteen stores high and was made of Opal with jasper and flakes of crystals. It had a transparent tower and a crystal stairwell that swirled around the Great Tree all the way tot he chambers of transparent gold.

And for a hundred years the Kamikhans and teir offspring dwelt in Sudora and ventured to theo outer regions as they pleased.

The fourteen Kamikhans were:

Tsu’yasaii: The Great Samurai                                Yameku: The Weaponist

Yoshifumi: God of Elements                                    Sakari: The Magical Dancer

Shakuro: The Light Bearer                                           Yogensha: The Oracle

O’Dokuro: The Vagabond                                           Kachina: Of Many Things

Mao’tsukai: The Illusionist                                        Kensa: The Mistress of War

Myokosha: The Travelor                                                Nahimana: The Healer

Kayasaii: The Great Adversary, he was the embodiment of evil and the dark midst of Fusi O’Sholung. And there was on amongst the Kamikhans whose spirit the Great Emperor lived, Baromati- The God of Justice.

Now at the end of this season, a powerful E’shenn named O’Tonsu ended the weeping of harmony and took a stone from Aiyana’ishi” For the Spirit of Lukumasu, the Dimensional Mover was upon him. 

But when Asharaku, son of the Great Samurai had returned from his journey and found the eyeless body of Lady Armonnna, he fell upon his knees and with his eyes closed a great energy tore through the galaxy like a wave of electrical flames and when all came to, the body of Lady Armonna was gone. 

Afterwards, Asharaku told every Kamikhan and Marendai to leave Sudora never to return. And he hunted down O’Tonsu and destroyed him in the Majestic Plane of Sai’okeni. 

This marked the Age of Division. For the Kamikhans and their offspring were driven into four regionshere: 

And so it was that Shakuro took hold of the Northern region and called it Shakuin. The Southern regionshpere was named Kayagi after the Great Adversary: Kayasaii. Between Shakuin and Kayagi was Meshai’in, the Place of Baromati. 

The fourth region-sphere was the areas between, within and around other divisions where little to nothing was known. The name of those areas was little to nothing was  

known. The name of those areas was Numei, which also are reserved for the Yumein-Marendai. 

Now there were many species and notable Beings of Fushigi, all of which are referred to in the glossary section. However, there’s one species of Beings I would like to expound upon briefly and they are the Marendai; 

The Marendai are the direct offspring of the Kamikhans. Their name in general means: One that renders (becomes) greatness (a true god or goddess). For their born half-gods and goddesses. 

There are three types of Marendai: The Ar’scendai, those who ascend into Ar’scendai Masters, which are the good gods and goddesses. The Darakai are the evil gods and goddesses of Fushigi. For they descend into Dark Lords. The third type of Marendai are called Yumeins, because their nature from birth is unknown and is not for certain till the day of their rendering. For this reason, they’re considered a danger to the general establishments and is sent to the regions of Numei till their true nature is made known.
