The Imperial Legend
As legend goes the Meiji were one of the families that migrated to Gao-Soto after being guided by a glowing cloud. Upon arriving in Gao-Soto 10 million kami descended from the cloud visiting the heads of all the clans present and set them a challenge. They were told to go into their camp and each pick a lump of charcoal from the remains of the fire and to present them to the kami. Each clan leader did this and each time the kami descended on the charcoal then departed and told the man to sit and watch. Finally the leader of the clan Meiji presented his piece of charcoal, when the kami descended on it it the charcoal crumbled revealing a perfectly formed crysanthemum. They declared that fate stood with his clan and that he should lead the Gao-Showa as would his descendents for 10 million generations.
