Asako Henshin

The Henshin are a monastic order unique to the Asako. They study the mysteries of the universe, as passed down to them from Asako herself. Asako gained the knowedge from Shiba, who came to speak with her through his son after he died defending the original Seven Thunders. They gain great power through knowledge of riddles to which the universe itself responds.

For most of their history, they used these riddles to bend the universe to their will, but it has recently been shown that this was a false path. Now the riddles are used primarily for the entertainment of the universe, not the power of the Henshin. The end result, however, is largely unchanged.
