History

Byakko

Since the dawn of Izumo's age, the spirit of Karakamado has been revered as guardian of hearth and home. The divine knowledge of fire and forge, carried from distant lands, blessed this sacred ground with transformative power. Where flames dance in every kitchen and laughter graces every table, so does this deity's eternal protection reign. Thus the ancient faith in fire's sacred mastery endures through all seasons.
