Amaterasu's Furnace

The End of Atarasi and the creation of Amaterasu's Furnace

In the year 210, Hida took up his tetsubo and marched off to find and destroy the Tainted abomination that his son had become. They fought for some time, and the sheer energies that the divine father wielded against his infernal son scarred the land. Finally, Hida struck the killing blow, and defeated Atarasi. After this he prayed to his mother, Amaterasu to save the soul of his son, and then succumbed to the wounds he had taken during the fight. The Lady Sun blessed the ground upon which they had fought, creating the region in the Shadowlands known as Amaterasu's Furnace, a place that has forever since remained pure and free of the Taint.
