    Prehistory

    The beginning the gods of old create the world from the five elements. Then they created animals to populate the world and kami to bring it to life. Next they created man to toil in the fields and do their work. The Kami taught men the way of Shinto and how to control the elements so that they could rise up and free themselves. The gods saw this and decided they needed to watch the people more carefully. In order to control people, they create the hengoykai to be their spies and warriors from animals in the field making them intelligent. They too were mistreated by the gods also and soon joined the men. The sides were formed. One old god Lu-Ti lead the men, Hengoykai, and the kami against the gods. During the battle many of the Hengoykai turned on the army being the secret warriors of the gods and that is why to this day they are still distrusted. In the end, Man and beast won their freedom from the gods. And Lu-Ti created the Celestial Bureaucracy to rule.
