Description:

-[Wa] The Sacred Wand and the Moonlight Arrow, emblems of the Imperial office, are given to the Emperor Kochi by the Spirit of Wa, allowing him to establish the claim to the entire island of Wa.
?? (412th year of Chisho Wa)
-[Wa] The Emperor Kochi dies. The War of the Spirits begins. The spirit folk are divided in their loyalties and split into two factions. One faction sides with the spirits while the other supports the humans. The korobokuru attempt to remain neutral, but eventually join the spirits. The hengeyokai take great delight in the resulting turmoil and manage to fight for both sides with equal abandon. In the end, the unity of Wa is destroyed and the island divides into petty clans engaged in fairly constant warfare. The Age of Kochi, Master of the Peach Tree, becomes a romantic ideal, which foreverafter drives the nobles to attempt the impossible task of ruling the entire island.
?? (1st Year of Koyo Wa)
-[Wa] Emperor Kasada regains the Moonlit Arrow from the Spirit of Yakamashi Mountain and claims control of all Wa. The southern korobokuru support the claim against their northern brothers. Kasada is recognized as the first emperor since Kochi but refuses to name the era after him for fear of evil omens.
?? (23rd year of Kuni Wa)
-[Wa] The wandering shukenja Samon is forced to seek shelter at a simple peasant's hut during a raging blizzard. There he becomes entranced with the peasant's beautiful daughter, a girl of obvious grace and breeding. During that night he forgets his vows and woos the daughter. For three nights he continues the courtship until by custom it is decreed they are married upon the third night. But with the dawn he discovers a great serpent coiled by his side the true form of his new bride. Maddened by horror and remorse, he flees into the mountains where his spirit is still sometimes seen.
