[edit] Tomb of the Seven Thunders
When the Emperor Toturi III sought enlightenment in the Shadowlands before the Battle of the Tomb, Benika was sent as the representative of the Lion to find and protect him.
When the items from the tomb were retrieved, Benika selected a nondescript urn containing the ashes of the original Matsu. To honor her return with the ashes of the Lion Thunder, she has been given Chukandomo to wield. [1]
[edit] Audience with Matsu
In 1170, Benika was summoned by Kitsu Daimyo Kitsu Katsuko. Coming as bid to the Hall of Ancestors and finding Matsu Daimyo Matsu Kenji also present, she learned that her presence had been demanded by the spirit of Matsu herself. Channelled through Katsuko, Matsu offered mild praise to her for her actions following the wishes of the Emperor and returning her ashes to the Lion, though warned her against complacency. She then warned them of the coming upheaval in the heavens and the soon to be dooms of Lord Sun and Lady Moon.[2]
[edit] Jade Hand
Benika was given the Jade Hand by Omen, the Voice of the Jade Sun. [3]
