After a year long discussion with the Shogun of Xuefeng, Douji Genkei finalizes his verdict. The northern parts of Sheng shall be explored by sea voyage, with the intent to explore the infamous Haunted Isle that rests in the seas between Izhura and the famed cluster of Izhuran islands. This isle is shrouded in a mystical haze, that allows the landmark to appear distant and isolated from the rest of the isles. With a hefty sum of coin, a few bargains here and there, Douji had come to the conclusion that for safe travels he'd have to establish a crew of Sirenian Seafarers, experienced Sailors, and Shenghese explorers. With the combined effort of the men Douji made close contact with, such journey could be made possible - with a flaw; the chance of -Certain Death-
Amongst the civilians of Izhura, would a famed tell tale be passed along across ancient History and Modern History, a traditional spook Tale told towards children and inexperienced soldiers of the Empire; specifically those who show signs of walking a path astray from the FourFold Path the Enlightened Emperor embodied. A path towards a slow and gradual corruption and eventual death, a die hard obsession with embodying the Pillar of Strength. The corruptive way of thinking spreads through the mind like a Disease, eventually enabling the person to possess an uncanny obsession with the need to train daily. A Folktale Legend foretells such man, who's known largely for his devotion towards the Way of the True Samurai. His ambition towards becoming a -Sword Saint- was so great, that it corrupted his mind into a false belief that following the Pillar of Strength until the bitter end can allow such goal become reality. The Legendary Samurai was obsessive and cruel to those around him and even his own body. Day after Day the Man trained, becoming sicker and sicker as the weeks went onward, eventually becoming a sickly ghoul with baggy eyes, wrinkled arms and hands that seemed glued onto the pommel of his katana, fingers that never seem to let go of his precious weapon. The man himself trained unto death, until his Soul parts the world of the Living. His soul was able to be parted to the Star Goddess, but his Spirit remained indomitable. Whereas a Spirit shan't stay within the world of the Living through normal means? The Samurai himself defied these odds and willed himself to stay where his corpse had perished. The isle itself began to corrupt, as the ghostly Samurai driven most of its' inhabitants away from the land itself, as the Spirit made the landmark its' sanctuary. Eventually, those who inhabit the Dojo dedicated to Swordsmanship and the Pillar of Strength also found themselves slaughtered, as the Phantom of Izhura lived on a life after death, in search of a Challenge, To Prove himself Worthy of being one of the Legendary Sword Saints. Legends say that the man's accursed sword rests within the Temple he haunts. The Katana, rusted beyond repair and drenched in the spiritual essence of its' wielder.
