Throne of Blood

Set in a feudal, samurai-era world where lords rule from castles and loyalty is a precarious currency. Prophecies and court intrigue drive characters to ruthless acts, highlighting a society structured around power, honor, and perilous ambition.

The action unfolds in the dense, foreboding Spider's Web Forest surrounding a central castle. The Spider's Web Castle serves as the seat of lordship where power is exercised and paranoia festers. Tsuzuki's estate functions as the political hub where alliances are made and broken, contrasting with the wild, ominous forest that seems to watch the court.

🔮 Prophecy

A supernatural foretelling drives the plot, guiding Washizu and Asaji toward actions that seal their fate. The spirit's predictions blur the line between fate and choice, making characters pursue inevitable outcomes.

🗡️ Betrayal

Trust frays as friends become rivals and spouses manipulate others to secure power. The murder of Tsuzuki and the looming threat to Miki's lineage reveal how personal gain corrupts loyalties.

🌲 Nature's Retribution

The forest itself becomes a looming force, its trees symbolizing an unseen judgment rising against tyranny. The environment mirrors the characters' moral descent and catalyzes the climactic downfall.

👑 Power

Ambition to command drives the characters toward drastic, destabilizing choices. The quest for lordship exposes the fragility of rule and how quickly acquired power erodes under pressure.
