Hōraijima

Horai Island was a place where Yokai and Human lived together in peace, resulting in many Hanyo children. Since Hanyo were unaccepted by the world, a barrior was put up to seperate them from those who would shun them. Every fifty years, the barrior would weaken, and Yokai would attack the island. Among them, were the Four War Gods. There was a battle, and to stop it, Lady Kanade, a priestess from the island, sealed the Four War God's powers into a box, and threw the box into the sacred Caldron of Resonance. When she did this, her spirit was sealed into the caldron as well. The War Gods realized, that if they through Hanyo in the caldron, they could regain their power, little by little, though they were only able to do this every fifty years, when the barrior weakened. When the Caldron of Resonance was destroyed, the island collapsed. Now it is nothing but a memory.
