Story
Repent of Sin
Toka is a land mass once part of Japan. It disappeared under the waves and lost to the world of Earth in the 12th century. Myths of how the gods grew angry with a man claiming to be a god called Kekki Tonada. He ruled the land with a fist of iron claiming to be the true god and herald of the world. The Gods who once dipped a spear into the oceans now stabbed into the heart of Toka, pushing it to slip from time and space warping onto a whole new world…
After its disappearance the gods themselves strode to destroy any evidence of Toka
Rise from the Ash
The remaining humans revived soon after its destruction. They survived to build a different version of feudal Japan, Splintered into twenty three separate nations. Ruled by the Daimyo, each has of dreams of controlling the entire land of Toka, when the first Cossa-Osana war in 539 AD (After Destruction). They turned on one another fighting until the Senguki Shoguns ended the war at the battle of Sonkighara (pronounced Sung-KI-ghara) Peace settled between the nations and old grudges slowly died out each generation. Soon it became as it was before, slowly each ruling Shogun wished to rule the land of Toka as Emperor…

You create the story, the future of Toka. Become one of the 23 Shogun and rule your country how ever you wish. Or you can become one of the Daimyo who serve a shogun. Or be a regular citizen caught in the turmoil of war! Experience the Action, the tension of politics, the struggle for power! It’s up you to decide!
Toka Reality and Fact
The new world has not been explored yet, because of this Toka is considered the center of the world. Since gun powder was starting to come around on Earth, in Toka guns are unknown, everything is fought by sword spear and bow, siege weapons were starting to
be invented as castle began getting more and more stronger.
Similarities
It is a mixture of both Japanese and Chinese culture, both groups of people live in Toka, but under the feudal system of Japan with the rich culture of China.
Money
Instead of yen coin is used Copper is the most common, silver next and gold the top
100 copper =1 silver
10 silver = 1 gold
With the inventive use of mathmatics a bank system slowly grew. So money can be distributed a lot more easier.
Differences
A whole new world and its been a few hundred years…well since Toka is moving way slower than earth is moving, some things do change.
For a fact the language spoken has become a really different mixture of Japanese and Chinese, dialect has changed a ton and since severed from the actual two languages is developing differently…
Magic
Magic is nonexistent to the people of Toka, but some say there are sorcerers walking amongst us…
Time
The current time period on earth is world war 2, while here in the world of Toka its still in the stages of feudal wars…
Current Period: Yutato period
Past period: Hieronaga Period
Guns
Guns are still none existent but if invested into a steady pace science could easily catch on to the fundamentals of explosives (note whoever gains it first dawns a new era by their Characters last name)
Woman
Though while woman on earth did not gain many freedoms untill the late 2nd millenium. In Toka woman gained many freedoms since mankind had rebirht, it was more of a suvival empowerment to them... This lead to society to be very different, woman could hold high positons in adminstration and could be Daimyo or even if they had the strength be a Shogun.
Nations
Toka is a massive island, half the size of the actual Japan. It was originally between China, Japan. This means there was a strong influence on one another as well as other foreign powers.
