Seppun Ayumu

Sppun Ayumu was an Imperial daimyo with great political ties, who owned Daiori's Daisho, the blades held by the hero Seppun Daiori in the moment of his death, defending the Crane Embassy during the Scorpion Coup.

Winter Court
During a Winter court at Kyuden Doji Ayumu met Doji Haruki, a minor Provincial Daimyo who was worried that his greater ambitions would never be realized. Ayumu took a fancy to Haruki and gifted him with the Daiori's Daisho. Unbeknownst to Ayumu, Daiori had felt overwhelming anger and horror at the events around him, and the daisho was damned with a powerful curse. It brewed inside the daisho for years, feeding on the frustration of Haruki.
