Kyūden Kakita Curse

The Kyūden Kakita Curse was placed in the eighth century by the Grand Master of the Elements.

Curse
In the eighth century the Grand Master of the Elements arrived at Kakita Palace to find the gates closed. Insulted, he laid a curse on the gates: any child born within the palace while the gates were closed would doom the family if they ever drew steel. To avoid the curse, the family ordered that the gates be left perpetually open. Nevertheless, a few unfortunates had been born in the palace while the gates were closed. Such Kakita were not taught the ways of their family and were forbidden to even touch a blade.
