Winter Shogun

Winter Shogun “When snow falls without end, it is not nature’s will—it is the punishment of the divine.” Long ago, in a world shaped by sacred machines and yokai-bound relics, five great regions flourished under the watch of silent gods. Samurai danced with steel and soul. Castles walked upon steam-powered legs. Temples echoed with the hum of mech-forges. But the north grew too cold. The heavens, too silent. And so the legend of the Winter Shogun was buried in snow and shame. + Hyokoku – The Land of Eternal Snow In this frozen land, where Oni-Frames emerge from cursed storms and the skies never clear, a lone shrine keeper tends to forgotten prayers and ancient seals. His name is Shiro—unremarkable, until the day a slumbering god awakens beneath his feet. A shard of divinity pulses beneath Mount Yōkiba. A Kami-Yoroi, mirror-born and soul-bound, opens its eye after 900 years. And the snow... shifts. +The Mirror That Reflects the Soul Bound to the awakened mech, Shiro is marked as a Kagami—a pilot chosen not by blood, but by soul. But power once sealed does not stir without cost. Whispers follow him: of the Divine Collapse, the City of Ikaruga, and the Silent Court of gods that rewrote history. Now hunted by mechs powered by corruption, feared by daimyōs who remember the Shogun's fall, and watched by gods who wear masks of mercy—Shiro must uncover the truth of a war that never truly ended. In the land of endless winter, one soul-bound warrior holds the key to rebirth... or ruin. When the Kami-Yoroi awakens, and the snow forgets to fall, The Winter Shogun shall return.
