One day, Ryuken returned to his castle after completing his pilgrimage. His heart carried the weight of the countless lives he had helped and the sacrifices made along the way. But it also carried a newfound sense of peace and purpose, a feeling he had not experienced in decades.
Upon his return, he swiftly took measures to ensure the stability and prosperity of the nation would endure. Over the following days, Ryuken appointed a cadre of new officials, carefully selecting those who had demonstrated loyalty, wisdom, and compassion.
To further solidify the chain of command, he dispatched his trusted masters and close allies...those who had fought beside him during the war...to govern different regions of the country.
Each carried the responsibility of upholding law and order, representing Ryuken's ideals in their lands.
