ONIKUNSHU
The final emperor of the Ryunarasu clan. Though he was the greatest and most powerful ruler ever to acclaim the throne,
he had brought the Downfall to the family for forsaking the Generation Law of perpetual intermarriage. At the age of 2,130
years old, he had been enchanted by a mortal woman forever recorded in the Book of Gold as 'Zhul-Navida', which means
'The First Curse' in the Northern Dialect of Sachaudatha.
Like many dragons of the last Fifth Turn, he was a winged, flame-throwing beast of charcoal black scales. However, as a
human, he was thought to be a Great Son of Salm, the Wind Lord (see 'Deities'). Aside from very identical appearances,
their tragic romance lives were also similar.

BARAKA
An assassin-priest of the Fifth Turn. Famous for the Quest of the Flame (see Legends), with his brother, Sage. It was
with this scythe that he had slewn the Jede of Sagufai, an extreme accomplishment for any Ryunarasu, considering the fact
that the Jede of Sagufai was an enormous beast, at least a thousand times larger than an average Jede. Instead of charging
straight into battle, Baraka had thrust his scythe across the arena, cutting the final cord binding the stones of the arena
together. The stones had killed the enormous Jede, and, unfortunately, Baraka himself. Only his scythe remained aside the
collapsed ruin of stones.
