Rise of the Shadow Clan
Story: Recently the demons of the Shadowlands have been grouping into a clan, lead by an unknown Oni. The seven main clans that rule the land have been attacked now by more organized parties of these Shadowland beasts. In retaliation to the attacks, the clans have sent each of their Champions into the Shadowlands to destroy the Shadow Clan before it got any more powerful. Now it has been 10 years and none of the Champions have returned or been heard from. The Crab clan has managed to keep most the demons in the Shadowland and from doing too much damage to the other clans. Now the Crane clan has invited the strongest Hero from each of the clans to come to its capital. It seems there is now a plan to bring down the Shadow Clan.
