The Kurokaiyo Clan
An Accursed Bloodline
Throughout history there have been many notable families.
In Osrona, there are the Astor, Grimmore, Pelleaux, Salis, D'Arnette, Queen and of course, Petrakis.
Nobility of old, of which some bloodlines endure to this day.
When the city of Achyon came names like Docro, Aertas, Volkova, and Delisle came with it.
Barsburgian powers seeking a foothold in this land.
The Tribes of Moxtli have the Grace family, the Meztin clan, and the Aba too.
Champions of their people, who earned their place in history.
But there was another clan that has swayed Esshar from the shadows for Centuries.
Hailing from Jiang, the core of Shengese culture, the Kurokaiyo clan were descended from the Emperor's elite Assassins.
From enabling certain Noble second sons and impatient heirs to become head of their respective families when "unfortunate accidents" befell their predecessors or supporting organizations like The Syndicate, to the working of Witchcraft during the age of Moonfall and beyond, or as intelligence agents in the Crimson Court of Asphodel.
Sometimes a rare Kurokaiyo would take a more prominent role in the great game that was Esshar.
Such as the notorious founder of the Clan, Kirai Kurokaiyo who established their place on Esshar with his own two blood soaked hands and signature fighting style known as the Way of Shadows: Assassin's Fist. Though he came seeking a peaceful life as a Dojo instructor only to find himself drawn into conflict with the authorities of Osrona and inevitable executed before the public.
Or his great grandaughter Duana Kurokaiyo who was a well known and powerful Witch, one whose death was the foundation upon which the legend of Saint Pericles was built.
Yet more recently there is the great Black Dragon of Aesirheim, Jarl Revna Rune. Known for her brutal cunning and accomplishments on the battlefield, as well as taking the humble Outpost she called home and turning it into a proper settlement for her people. While not a Kurokaiyo by name, she was a Kurokaiyo by blood as the daughter of Achlys Kurokaiyo.
Throughout history the Kurokaiyo clan has struck fear in the hearts of all those that knew it's reputation.
But today, the name Kurokaiyo is all but forgotten.
Now, the last of that Accursed Bloodline seeks to restore it to power once again.
Kagutsuchi Kurokaiyo, the Spymaster of Asphodel has issued word that he seeks women of strong bearing and worthy blood with whom he might ensure the Kurokaiyo name lives on. He does not seek love, nothing so romantic, only those willing to do their duty as a wife. A business arrangement in simple terms, one that would see any lady so inclined as to accept it well compensated.
