Aku, a mighty empire, standing as strong and firm as a mountain, is headed by the tyrant Akumu. The outlying city is in shambles, nothing but a disease-ridden hole where the cut-throat criminals mill about, just outside the stone walls of the ominous castle where their king resides with those who possess riches beyond imagination. Even though the kingdom is the strongest in the known world – only a close second with Tsukiyomi – those who do not have a claim to wealth are left to rot, or hope that those who have turned to criminal lives show mercy and allow them to continue their pitiful lives so that they may continue work on farms owned by Akumu.
Hatred is shared between the kingdoms of Aku and Tsukiyomi, a hatred which reaches back to a time when Akumu, king of Aku, was once king of Tsukiyomi, ruling alongside the beautiful Aurelia, queen of Tsukiyomi. Akumu’s betrayal left the kingdom of Tsukiyomi raw with anger and pain. The inhabitants sought him out for years while he hid and amounted a terrible force of his own. The results of his patience, planning, and military genius brought Akumu the kingdom of Aku, which is now seen as a brutal kingdom whose first instinct is to strike and kill.
Tsukiyomi is well protected and a lovely kingdom in a whole. Ruled by a kind family, peasants are well taken care and most people are prosperous as the land itself. Tsukiyomi is not a blood-thirsty kingdom like Aku and would rather talk things out when a problem arises. Most in Tsukiyomi are well-educated and the warriors are trained well. They are only a close second best kingdom in their area. Aurelia, their queen, is somewhat shaken by Akumu’s betrayal. She is keeping a close eye on Aku as well as the demons whom used to be her friends. She is aware that now is bad times and is using all her wisdom to keep Tsukiyomi a joyful, enjoyable place as it has always been.
Tsukiyomi used to be strong allies with the Izumi clan due to a friendship between the queen and leader of the Izumi. That friendship has been shattered since the killings of Izumi demons by human beings, mainly Akumu in secret before his betrayal. The leader of Izumi, Yin, cast a spell upon the land and make it eternally night with a full moon looming over everyone. A shield of magic was placed up to protect Tsukiyomi from the hungry demons and vampires that would freely and effortlessly roam the area in the newfound night.
The demons are on edge with themselves, vampires, and humans. The three clans are no allied and growing constantly more hostile and wary toward each other. Yin is especially hostile recently because of how the other demon clans disagree with the stunt she pulled. With their unease and tension growing as the days pass, much fear an all out war is about to wage. Many think it will include the humans and vampires as well as every demon clan against each other. Yang, Mizuno’s leader, is trying to soothe the tension but so far has not come out victorious. She seems to know better then anyone how bad a war would be for everyone. While the Izumi are eager for blood and Hatsu merely stand on the sidelines and wait, the Mizuno is preparing for the worst. It seems that blood will be spilled and if they know right it will be under the red moon.
Vagabonds, atheists, and hunters. Vampires were always known to stalk the earth as an unorganized band of nightmares. They were the shadows in the depths of your dreams, the cold breath that caressed the back of your neck, the beauty of a blossoming rose; beautiful, but deadly. Within their species the Vampires had few groups – small numbers that lived and worked with one another. Now, though, as war threatens the world, the Vampires are slowly converging to form an army of terrifying strength as the demons bring about the threat of war.
