The Damasu family was a vassal family of the Akodo. The Kyotei Castle in the Kintani Valley, close to Toshi Ranbo, was its ancestral home. [1]

Defunct family[]

To shore up the Crane Clan's logistical lines to Toshi Ranbo (and to fuel his own ambition) Lord Tsume Retsu besieged the castle, eventually overcoming its defenses and slaughtering every member of the Damasu family. [1] The ancestral swords of the Damasu family, became the prize of the Tsume family. [2] In 1120 the geisha known as Reika claimed she was the last member of the family. The Lion Clan Champion accepted her as the legitimate heir to the Damasu, and she took the name Maeda. She eventually was killed while attempting to retake the Kyotei Castle this year. [1]

Ghosts[]

The ghosts of the Damasu haunted the Kyotei castle, crying out for revenge. They were bound to the castle until the last remaining Damasu heir, Reika, took her rightful place as lord of the castle. [3] In 1123 Reika returned to the castle as Akodo Maeda, but she was killed when she was trying to recover the castle's control. [1] The Damasu ghosts of the castle all cried out at once in agony, they would be eternally bound to the castle, unable to move on to the afterlife. [4]
