1274 saw the arrival of the Xenoses: invaders from another world. The Eurasian continent had faced their ravages before the Islands of the Rising Sun, and hundreds of samurai were dispatched to the Kingdom of Goryeo (modern Korea) to aid in trying to repel these monsters. One such warrior, his name unknown, penetrated a horde of the beasts, and aided the soldiers of Goryeo in prevailing against their fearsome Queen. It was a hard won victory, and the Rising Sun was now weakened militarily.
