Kunshu: Ancestral Sword of the Hantei
Descrição
The first of Doji Yasarugi’s Five Sacred Blades of the Crane, Kunshu was created as a gift for Yasarugi’s uncle, the first Emperor. A fine, massive tsurugi forged using the techniques of Yasarugi’s tengu sensei, Kunshu was presented to the Hantei as a sign of eternal friendship and loyalty. All who saw the blade were struck by its beauty.
According to tradition, in the months leading up to the coronation of a new Emperor, the Seppun entrust
Kunshu to one of the Great Clans for safekeeping. When the new Emperor is finally crowned, the chosen clan presents the sword as Yasarugi once did, claiming the honor of being the first to renew their clan’s oath to the Hantei. Any deviation from this tradition would be a severe loss of face, so until the coronation, Kunshu is guarded with the clan’s lives.
Kunshu is a perfectly balanced jian.
Propriedades
- Quirk: When Kunshu is touched by two or more people, such as when it is presented to the Hantei during the Imperial coronation, it glows if either of the individuals touching the blade wishes the other ill will.
- Properties: Range 0–1, Damage 6, Deadliness 5/6, Ceremonial, Resplendent, Sacred.
- Sealed Inversion: Hayai contains the Slip the Cycle inversion (see page 120), which is activated using Martial Arts [Melee] (Void) instead of Theology (Void).
