20 Prologue: An Insight to the Wise Lord of Kiko.

According to the papers found in Naka Sengoku Museum, in the 9th day of the 10th month in the year of the metal dragon, or in the renewed central calendar: October 9, 1540, Lord Iwasawa Hiroshi led his troops to the border defenses of Shinka province to help fend off an invading force from the enemy province.

According to surviving historical scrolls from the central historical library of Kiko, the wise lord led an army whose number would be so little against the enemy they have to face. However, their enemies were not aware of the weapons they wielded that was far too advanced for its time. The descriptions left by the scholars and historians who was alive to record the events in the Battle of Yukonami was caught between the lines of calling it an absolute massacre and a terrestrial ablution.

To this day, many historians are still baffled about how such a small and underdeveloped province at the southernmost tip of the country was able to instate such dominance and power over their enemies simply because of the intellect of a single man. Many papers state that most of the technological advancements came from the wise lord, while other less-academic papers speak of their lord as a man sent from the future to correct this world.

Regardless of clear biases, it is hard not to consider that the bogus documents that contained extraordinary praises for the lord came from the very own handwriting of the leading historian of the age and most of these claims are made from the nearest possible perspective to the lord.

So, who knows the real truth? Maybe this man that the world has come to admire might just be how those claims described him as.
