Mempo of the Void
The two sets of Elemental Nemuranai were attempts of the Oracles of Light to create a balance between good and evil, [1]
First Elemental Nemuranai[]
Armor of Earth
Creation[]
In 1127 these items were crafted in a valley near the Castle of the Faithful Bride [1] by Iuchi Yogosha and Asako Shingon costing their live's sacrifice. [2] [3] Shingon coaxed kami to occupy the item, slowly infusing it with the essence of an element. Then Yogosha would use his knowledge of Meishodo to erode the object's true name while Shingon contained the kami. The two worked in tandem to craft a katana, a set of armor, a gunsen, a yari, and the last, a mempo, the one of the Void element. [4]
Delivered[]
These nemuranais were given to various samurai during the Clan War by the Oracles of Light, to compensate for the imbalance caused by the creation of the Dark Oracles' Elemental Terrors. The Dark Oracles sent the Terrors to seize the items, but in every attempt they were defeated. [5]

Second Elemental Nemuranai[]
In the year 1160, [6] after Fu Leng assaulted the Celestial Heavens, the Celestial Balance was in serious jeopardy. To maintain the balance the Oracles of Light withdrew their influence from Ningen-do. Before they left, however, they gathered together to create a set of nemuranai of pure elemental power that could turn the tides against the forces of darkness. [7] [8] [9]
