Sichi

From L5r: Legend of the Five Rings

Sichi was an ancient troll chief from the City of Night. Sichi was the first to side with the Kitsu against the Tsuno in the incident that led to their creation. For this, the Tsuno took their vengeance against him. Cursing him with giant size and a mindless, brutal strength, changing him into the being known as the King of the Trolls. He was eventually turned to stone by his allies, the Zokujin.^[1]

[edit] The First Awakening

In 958, after thousands of years of slumber, Shichi was accidentally released by Otaku Zonoko and Shinjo Naru as they were helping the Imperial Cartographer Asako Gohiro in revising the imperial maps. As he walked, the Troll King drew on the energy of the earth spirits, growing in size and leaving only soft and weak soil behind. Gohiro, with the help of the zokujin Zgkol and the Scorpion magistrate Bayushi Seiko managed to send the troll back to its slumber after he rampaged for three days destroying at least five villages. The ritual, however, resulted in the death of Gohiro and several zokujin.^[2]

[edit] The Second Awakening

Sichi was again awakened in 1159 as Togashi Matsuo and Togashi Mitsu where scouting the southwestern Dragon provinces. As they looked for shelter, the monks found Zgkol, who then put them in contact with Bayushi Ogura, the descendant of Asako Gohiro. Ogura then enlisted the help of the Kuni Witch Hunter Kuni Junji and together, they were able to recreate Gohiro's spell, sending the King of Trolls back into slumber. Ogura, knowing the ritual took the life of its performer, backed out in the middle of the spell, which resulted in the death of Junji. The Troll Mountain now lies near the Great Crater, at the mouth of the Seikitsu Pass.^[3]
