Oracle of the Void

Oracle of Void

The Oracle of Void was the representative of the Dragon of Void on Rokugan.

Home[]

The Oracle of the Void was thought to live in Jigoku, or on the border where Ningen-do met the next. Since the 9th century no reports of anyone receiving aid or prophecy from an Oracle of Void had been recorded. [1] When Kaede retired to keep the Celestial balance she went to the Dragonlands. [2]

Flight of the Dragons[]

In 1127 during the Clan War, several Black Scrolls were opened, disturbing the Celestial Order. The Elemental Dragons withdrew from Rokugan and their Oracles went into hiding. The Oracles of Darkness twisted the power of a different element releasing the Elemental Terrors, whose spawn appeared elsewhere. Decided to counteract their corrupted counterparts, Asako Shingon and Iuchi Yogosha were brought to create a set of Elemental Nemuranai. The Oracles rested knowing the balance had been achieved. [3]

Isawa Kaede[]

Isawa Kaede became the Oracle of Void in the Second Day of Thunder, in 1128. [4] [5]

Imbalance in the Celestial Heavens[]

Toturi Kaede

Kaede as Oracle of Void

After the death of Toturi I in 1158, Kaede held the throne as regent until a proper heir could be decided upon from Toturi's four children. [6] The act of sitting on the Imperial Throne tipped the balance in the favor of the powers of Tengoku. When Kaede became Empress, the Spirit Realms were thrown into disharmony. She realized her mistake and withdrew from the Empire to prevent any permanent damage. But the boundaries between the realms had already weakened. [7] The imbalance in the heavens forced Tonbo Toryu to abandon his position as Oracle of Thunder and become the Dark Oracle of Void. [8]

Return of Light & Dark[]

After twenty years of peace under the rule of Iweko I, the Celestial Order had been restored and Ningen-do was again neutral. In 1199 the Elemental Dragons prepared the return of the Oracles of Light, as well as the Dark Oracles, permitted leave from the depths of Jigoku by their master, Daigotsu. [9] The Oracles of Light held a new Conclave of Light to discuss the affairs of the Heavens and of men for the first and last time. [10]
