Blade Forger

No matter who you are or where you're from, with enough aspiration, courage and training you could become a Blade Forger, win the tournament and be the new Emperor.

The discovery of CORUM, a never seen before energy source, led to a bloody world war for its control.
After years of destruction, the Lords of the Lands agreed to negotiate a ceasefire for lasting peace.
The BLADE FORGERS TREATY was born from that meeting.
This treaty established that the mining of Corum would be centralized through one government, led by a neutral Emperor.
The Emperor would have to be a BLADE FORGER, a mystical swordsman, and claim the title in a tournament called The Tournament of the Five Rings. Every five years Blade Forgers from every corner of the Empire would fight for the possibility of becoming the new Emperor.
A young Blade Forger named Owada challenges the Emperor in the name of the forsaken people. This is the story of what happens next.
