Awakening



The Awakening' had been prophecied. It would release a Goddess and a Dark God.

Imprisoned
The Kami Shinjo was imprisoned in the Black Earth after she had been kidnapped by the Lying Darkness. For centuries she was held prisoner with dark djinn whispering in her ear.

Avatars
The four avatars, or bahiya, that contained missing souls from the Ashalan, Kara the Ki-rin, Shosuro Tage the Scorpion, Amru the Qabal, and Zarha the Ebonite, were called upon at the Awakening to release Shinjo from her imprisonment. They destroyed the Fallen Star, rousing Shinjo from her imprisonment.

Moto Gaheris
The former Khan Moto Gaheris had undergoed a divine experience to travel to the Black Earth. The Tenth Kami, the Guardian of the Rift Ryoshun, guided him. Powered in some way by the Avatars, the great goddess Shinjo awoken from her slumber beyond a rift in the Black Earth and flied forth from this rift into the Black Earth where Moto Gaheris was waiting. They eventually escaped the barren realm of the Black Earth, and Shinjo's freedom was complete.

Lying Darkness
The Awakening destroyed the Ebon Stone, releasing the Lying Darkness into the world from where Shinjo had bound it.
