Description of the Clan:It all started with 6 sorcerers and 3 sorceresses from a foreign land. These magic-users were traveling together in search of a place where they’ll be able to use magic however they wanted. Apparently, the 9 of them were exiled from their land because they weren't following the rules set by their Magic Council. They didn’t want to conform to the limiting rules so they were labeled as rebels, who then led them to being cast away to prevent them from influencing other magic-users and cause more trouble than they already had according to the Council members.
While traveling, they came across beasts / creatures even they didn't know existed. Fascinated by these, they decided to look for these creatures' origin. This led them to the land now known as AE City, only it wasn't as modern as it is now; Creatures of different origins/species roamed the lands freely. One can't say there wasn't any order or chaos though; the creatures currently inhabiting the land somehow had a system of their own. The strong shall live and the weak shall perish so to speak. It was a matter of “kill or be killed”. Humans weren't an exception in this way of living. They had to live in fear because of the beasts that torment, torture them almost on a daily basis.
The sorcerers weren't about to upset things but as fate would have it, a creature lusting for more power targeted them, challenged them to a fight which resulted into a battle between the sorcerers and several of the mythical creatures that inhabit the land. The fight lasted days and everything seemed to be in favor of the beasts but the sorcerers weren't about to let the former beat them and so all 9 unleashed a magic so potent that after the fight ended, most of the creatures acknowledged them as their new masters. The humans living there, who happened to be present during the battle, thanked them and asked if they could stay and protect the humans from those beasts. The offer wasn't a grand one but nevertheless it gave the magic-users the sense that they have finally found a place where they are accepted and where they can practice their art freely so they decided to stay and be the land's guardians.
And then the Bleeding began, invoked by the Four Constellations, reducing not only the other creatures of the said land, but also the humans. It tormented each and every creature that roamed the land. After the Bleeding, peace once again prospered as several other clans from other lands chanced upon the land where the said Bleeding was believed to have originated.
Years passed by and the 9 had families of their own which grew in number yearly. They discarded their names and opted to have new ones that would unify all 9 of them. They considered themselves the Shadow of the Magical Land they came from and from that fact they decided to call themselves the KAGE CLAN, which is divided into 9 families with 2 acting as main families.
The clan has been thriving in power as they have established traditions, rituals and methods of invoking power from the netherworld exclusive to their members. They also have managed to blend in with the normal humans and have made themselves the protectors of the land. They took up this task and passed this down to their descendants and ever since then, the clan's goal is to maintain peace and order of the land.
Status of the Clan:Traditions are still put into practice although these particular traditions are as much as possible kept secret from the outside world. Now that times are different from the way they were before, the members look normal on the outside that one could hardly be mistaken for as someone from a clan of sorcerers.
