We now enter the first Kami phase. Since we are using Kami Unbound, the Kami not only provide their best worshippers an advantage every Kami phase, but they also incarnate into physical forms and appear on the map. Those forms do not fight directly, but provide effects for the battle phase in the province they are in. There are three Kami phases per season at which benefits are awarded and the Kami can move, but the Kami themselves can change allegiance at any time. Usually this happens when clans have the same number of Shinto in a shrine (like Turtle and Fox in Hachiman right now), but their Honor changes. This can provide some unpleasant and fun surprises during War…
Kami Spring 1
Turtle gains 2 Ronin
Turtle brings Hachiman to ???
Lotus gains top Honor
Lotus brings Amaterasu to ???
Koi gains 2 coin
Koi brings Tsukuyomi to ???
@Ex-SWoo, @Juan_Raigada, @Thraeg all have to decide in which Province they wish to move the Kami. Properly that should be done in that order, but if you don’t care you can announce them in any order.
Following that will be Dragonfly @RothdaTheTruculent mandate choice. Since he has no Kami to place, I will send the mandate choices now as well. But don’t make your choice yet, Dragonfly, until the Kami have manifested. And of course, leave as much time for diplomacy as you like.
