Shard of Chikara [Naruto/Exalted Idea]

History (WIP)

First Age (Age of Divine Unity)

Sage of Six Paths
During the Primordial War, the Primordials joined together in a last ditch attempt to stop the Exalted Hosts and their masters, Celestial Incarnae. This created something truly unnatural. Using the souls of living and 'dead' titans, including those of the Gaia, they created the Divine Tree (Shinju). Due to it's nature, the Divine Tree was neither Primordial or God but something else. In order to fight the Exalted Hosts, it converted vast amounts of living people into plant-folk called Zetsu. The overwhelming numbers caused the war to turn towards the Titans. Until one Solar was able to stop them, he was known as the Sage of Six Paths. Gathering up his peers, they fought through the endless swarms and defeated the Divine Tree. However, the Divine Tree couldn't be destroyed so with the help of the Great Maker and the Incarnae, the Sage of Six Paths shattered it. Nine Souls formed from the shattering, which were forced with seals and other methods to prevent them rejoining. These Nine Souls were then reincarnated into humans as another measure.

The Divine Coalition of Everlasting Peace
After the End of the Primordial Wars, the Four Hundred Solar Kings and their Lunar Generals, hundred Sidreal Advisers and The Ten Thousand Terrestrial Warriors forged the Divine Empires. These Empires would forge an Coalition to rule over Creation. The Sage of Six Path became the spiritual leader of this Coalition. It would be his will that guided the Exalted Host and Creation to a glorious age. Autocthton and Gaia would stay around at this point to help with the recovery and building of the Empires.

War of Sun Crowns
But Peace would not be truly Everlasting, over the four millennia after the Primordial War, another would about to begin. Sage of Six Paths had pass way two millenia ago. The Empires slowly degraded into twisted mockeries of their once glorious state. The Celestial Incarna have retreated into the Jade Pleasure Dome after the acts of their Exalts, Gaia and Autocthton have fled to places unknown. Each of the Solar have their own Kingdoms, their Lunar Mates ruling by their sides, the Sidereals try to do damage control, the Terrestrials prepare once more for war but this time against their peers and the Alchemicals have turned against the Empires becoming the Resistance Forces of Metallic Hope. War of Sun Crowns would begin and end in tragedy.

Hundred Stars Rebellion
The War lasted a few centuries but that is all it took to become a new hell. Third Circle Demons and other such forces were being used to cause massive damage to Creation. In secret, the Sidereal held a meeting in what to do. If they continued this was then Creation would be lost, however if they tried to stop it then the Solars and Lunars would destroy them. After a week of meetings, a decision was made that would change the course of history. They would assassinate the Solars in a single night and imprison them but little did they know that the Ebon Dragon himself was watching the entire time.

The Warring Dragons Period
With the death of the Solars and the scattering of the Lunars, the Sidereals broke the stars to hide what they have done. Cursing them to the shadows. Thus leaving the Terrestrials to rule over Creation and attempt to rule they did. Under the Dragon-Blooded Lords, various wars were fought for supremacy. The position of Shogun was made to lessen the damage by these wars. However, these weren't the only problems facing the Dragons. Lunar survivors fight in atypical warfare in attempt to reclaim what they have lost during the Rebellion. Dead refusing to move on. Demons gathering cults. Alchemicals continuing their resistance. However the worst was yet to come.

Plague and Crusade
At the end of the First Age, twin calamities happened. First the greatest invasion of the Fair Folk ever seen. Balor of the Terrible Gaze had gathered a crusade to unmake Creation. He forces crashed like a wave, unstoppable and vast. The Terrestrials fought back with all they could. Alas, their forces could barely survive the crusade let alone stop it. Ironically, their hope lies with another foe. Death Lords, ghosts of fallen Solars, created the Great Contagion. This plague weakened the Fair Folk enough along with most of Creation. The Sword of Creation, ancient weapon matrix, forced the Crusade back to once it came. Thus the First Age passed.

Second Age (Age of Elemental Sorrow)

Realm Rising
At the center of Creation, upon the Blessed Isle, was a single Dragon-Blooded hero. Her name would be forever known as the Scarlet Empress. With the power of the Sword of Creation, she began to create an empire that would truly span Creation. Only one problem stood in her way, well two actually. Senju Hashirama, Sleeping Forest Dragon, and Uchiha Madara, Dragon of Black Flames. They had gathered great amount of fellow Dragon-Bloods and were trying to rebuild the old system. This was not what the Empress wanted and thus sought to crush these two that dared to stop her. Upon the battlefield, those loyal to the Sleeping Forest Dragon and those to the Empress met. Once more did Dragons fight Dragons when two certain legends met. The Empress found and fought her rival, each of them fighting to the very edge of their skill and power. In a single moment, both had stopped and looked at each other. Before their armies, they declared an end to this conflict. The past would not repeat itself.

Hidden Villages and Elemental Dynasties
All three legends would talk about the future of the Terrestrial Host and Creation. In the end, they would ultimately join forces. To cement this, the Empress and Hashirama would become Husband and Wife. This union created the Realm of Elemental Dynasties with the Empress leading it. Sleeping Forest Dragon would become the First Fire Shadow and the only one who answered just to the Empress. In order to help keep the Realm safe and stable, the Village Hidden in the Leaves was born. Those who trained at this village and others would an elite fighting force called Shadow Warriors. These warriors were given special responsibilities and compensation from the Realm itself and the newly formed Immaculate Order. All in order to better protect the Realm. All of this allowed the realm to grow past the Blessed Isle.

Hatred of Black Flames
While the Realm continued grow strong, one person felt held a different opinion. Madara felt that the rising power would ultimately fail to last a millenia and fall to the various enemies it would face. These concerns fell upon deaf ears. Loss of his last brother didn't help ease his fears. Hashirama tried to help by making him his successor. However, others ruined this by suggesting the Sleeping Forest Dragon's brother take the position instead. Dragon of Black Flames finally had enough and left the Realm but this wouldn't be the last he would bee seen. It would be decades later when Demons, Ghost, Lunars and other things under an all to familiar banner attacked.

 

Information of the Terrestrial (aka Dragon-Blooded) Exalted (WIP)

Since the Beginning of Creation, the Dragon-Blooded have existed in greater numbers than the other Exalts. They lost many of their number over the millennia between their creation and the current day and age. From the Primordial wars to the War of Sun Crowns to the Warring Dragons Period and finally to the Elemental Wars, the Terrestrial Exalted Host endured much loss yet still able to rebuild their losses. Currently they are in clans, each with unique charms and other things to differentiate themselves. The Scarlet Empress in the current age has done much to bolster the Clans and their numbers. Each Clan and Exalt has devoted themselves to a particular form of warrior, from Samurai to Shinobi. This doesn't mean they don’t have scholars or artist but due to the times, all must be skilled in warfare.

Royal Clans: Born from the Empress herself, they are the ruling clan of their particular nation within the Realm. Their Head of the Clan is the Feudal Lord (Daimyo) with their heirs being a Crowned Prince or Princess. Have the highest rank below the Empress.

Noble Clans: Those who have their lineage descended from Non-Terrestrial Exalted and non-human. This grants them special powers from their bloodlines. They are always looking to strengthen their lineage and thus seek out similar Dragon-blooded. Their Head is called a High Lord and their heirs share the same with Royal Clans except for the Crowned part. They have the second highest rank.

Regular Clans: Descended of the regular Terrestrials that survived the end of the first age, they are the most numerous of the Clans. These Dragon-Blooded also are generally more accepting of None-Clan Exalts or even regular Mortals. Their Head is called merely a Lord with their Heirs being called as such. They hold the third highest rank.

Fallen Clans: Those who have left the Realm (Black-Dragons) or have joined with the Dark Forces like the Neverborn (Underworld-Dragons) or Yozi (Malfean-Dragons), are generally despised and hated. This is most likely due that they had their shards tainted or are traitors to the realm.

Clanless: Due to the Warring Dragons Period and the End of the First Age, there are those who with unknown Terrestrial Origins (Lost Eggs). These unknowns are usually absorbed into a clan or make their own.
