We are of Clan Takeda, we who claim dominion of Kai, we who trace our lineage back to honourable Emperor Seiwa, we who are the descendants of Clan Minamoto, we who are feared for our thunderous cavalry throughout Japan. The Ashikaga Shogunate grows feeble and unable to enforce their will, and just as the sun rises so to shall a new Shogunate be born.
It is our destiny, that of the Takeda, to regain our rightful place as the rulers of these ancient lands. Yet our ascension to the Shogunate will not go unchallenged, as our rivals foolishly plot to challenge our destiny. Honour is the life and blood of our society, and yet the pursuit of victory will do strange things to a once honourable samurai. For during the Sengoku Jidai there is no dishonour in utilising underhanded tactics when ultimately it is the victors who shall write the history of our people.
As the Hawk that soars the summer skies, we shall swoop with ferocity at our prey striking them unaware. Soon these ancient blood soaked lands shall witness the rise of the Takeda!
