Nothing lasts forever. Not life, not peace and resources. We were lucky that it lasted this long. We have started to take the first steps into interstellar travel through the use of sub-light engines. We were running out of the one thing that we built our society on. Beskar. The bright silvery metal, a beacon for wars and conflict. In the Warring States when we fought for the mountains and mines. Fought to be the best and have the most. Land, warriors, and resources. 4 houses rose in the razing.
House Kryze with clan Uzumaki at the lead followed by clans Sarutobi, Namikaze, Hatake, and Kurama. The House of Progress and Ingenuity. All the ships, weapon and armor designs came from this house. They were known as the Clans of Peace but fought like demons when push came to shove.
House Kast with clan Uchiha followed by clans Inuzuka, Yotsuki, Kazekage, and Aburame. The House of Ambition and Battle. They love the thrill of battle and pioneered most of the fighting styles and are the greatest in armed and unarmed combat. Never cross blade unless you are alone, only death awaits you.
House Vizsla is led by clan Senju with clans Yamanaka, Nara, Akimichi, and Fuma. The House of Intelligence and Espionage. They are known for the capture and interrogation teams that have yet to fail. It has kept them as a house more than their healing remedies.
Lastly, the more isolative House Wren. With clan Yuki leading clans Hyuga, Haruno, Hozuki, and Shimura. Though not a big house but fight with all the hearts. Never underestimate them. They are also a more militaristic house than the 4.
To help stop the rise of more bloodshed needlessly a creed was written with the input of all the houses.
From the Uchiha that love battle
Strength is life, for the strong have the right to rule.
From the Senju that work in the shadows
Honor is life, for with no honor one may as well be dead.
From the Uzumaki that love family above all
Loyalty is life, for without one's clan one has no purpose.
From the Yuki the fight with all the hearts
Death is life, one should die as they have lived.
After that we looked to the stars and started our journey to join and explore the vast beyond. We started making advancements in our technology and soon we were flying. To join the fowl in the sky. Ships that could make it into space came next where we discovered better building materials and resources. We found another metallic crystalline substance that we did not know how to use. It was called Kyber Metal. One day we will know how to use it. Our weapons and armor are more modern. We made sub-light engines that could take us out of the atmosphere. We replaced slugs and metal with heated light particles and ion particles. UI and AI were introduced, holo-images and better communications.
Everything was looking up. We were improving and expanding. We were invincible. In the golden age for our people and little slice of known space.
For over 1000 years a tentative peace was founded among the houses. But nothing lasts forever. Something had to give. The Great Mountains were running dry of Beskar. The peace was breaking. Houses were hoarding the precious metal.
With improvement always comes problems. Some want changes faster like The New Dawn that wants to do away with the old and start anew with death and blood. Thusly the inverse is also true. Those who can't or won't except the change. The Old Tree that wants to keep the old ways without change or progression, why fix what is working.
This was the beginning of the end. What can warriors do except fight for what they believe in.
Death is Life, one should die as the have lived.
Indeed.
