Fu Leng

Fall from Tengoku
When the Kami fell to earth from the belly of Onnotangu, Fu Leng was the last to fall, for when he saw the world below him, he was filled with terror. As he began to fall, he reached out and caught his fathers hand, but rather than help his son, Onnotangu began to crush him. Seeing the pain that his brother was in, Hantei cut off his fathers hand, and both the hand and Fu Leng fell to Rokugan.

Whereas the other Kami fell at Seppun Hill, Fu Leng fell through the earth and ripped a hole to Jigoku. This hole became the Festering Pit, the centre of the Shadowlands.

The First Day of Thunder
As Fu Leng grew in power and the Shadowlands grew in size, more followers came to him, armies of dark creatures, twisted by the evil of the Dark Kami and Jigoku waged a war for supremacy of Rokugan.

Fu Leng was winning this war, until Shinsei, a simple monk, convinced the other Kami to give him one hero from each clan to take the war to Fu Leng himself. These heros became the Seven Thunders.

Deep inside the shadowlands in Fu Leng's fortress, the thunders came face to face with the dark kami. While the other thunders distracted the evil god and his minions, Isawa bound Fu Leng in twelve scrolls, never again to touch Rokugan, lest someone read the dark magics the scrolls contained and free his spirit.

As the only surviving thunder from that day, Shosuro brought the scrolls out of the shadowlands and back to the Kami, warning them that they contained the doom of Fu Leng. The scrolls were then taken by Bayushi to be guarded by the Scorpion Clan.

This became known as the first Day of Thunder.

The Second Day of Thunder
As prophecy foretold the black scrolls were reopened 1000 years after they were created, with their opening, Fu Leng once again crept back into Rokugan. Due to the weakness of Hantei XXXIX from the poison of Kachiko, Fu Leng was able to possess the young emperor. Piece by piece as each scroll was opened Fu Leng's control of the last Hantei became more complete.

With the opening of the twelfth black scroll, Fu Leng fully entered Nigen-do and became mortal. It was then that Toturi and Doji Hoturi struck simultaneously and cut down Fu Leng, sending his spirit to the eternal wastes of Meido, where he was imprisoned by Emma O.

War in the Heavens
Many years after the death of Fu Leng, Daigotsu hatched a plan to destroy the capital city of Otosan Uchi and release Fu Leng from Meido. Daigotsu traveled to Meido from a portal in the Imperial throne room and ensnared Emma O by placing the Obsidian Mempo of Fu Leng upon his face. The only being that could remove the mask was Fu Leng. When Emma O summoned Fu Leng to remove the mask, he was struck down by his own spear, a weapon capable of smiting a god, and Fu Leng was free to ascend to Tengoku, the Celestial Heavens.

Once back in the heavens, Fu Leng and his oni horde waged a bloody war with the Kami, Fortunes and Dragons.
