By J.N. de Bedout

"Only the gods can kill a kensei." -- Akihito Part II of the Legend of Sithalkaan Uncertainty over the whereabouts of Sithalkaan deepens in the years following Gunther Guhn's treachery. This forces Agedoru and Misofume to seek the advice of Imperial advisors, who in turn send them on a long, perilous journey to the mainland.

To reach this remote outpost, they must traverse dangerous lands infested with ruffians and raiders. Should they succeed in this quest, a homeland in chaos awaits them. Their zealous enemies have swallowed vast swathes of central Japan and have amassed sufficient numbers to pose an existential threat to the samurai. An epic clash between titans of war shall soak central Japan in blood. Suffering on an unprecedented scale haunts those that elude Death's generous embrace. Dreams crumble. Hopes fade. But defiance never wanes in the face of atrocities. Can Agedoru and Misofume find the help they desperately need to confront and defeat an enemy that outclasses them in every aspect?
