xi. justice
| fairness, rigor, truth, reason, law
The figure of Justice sits in a neatly-draped white cloak between two pillars—one of truth, the other obscurity—two to symbolize balance and fairness. It holds a double-edged sword in the right hand, ready to fall on a firm and final decision. In the left hand, it holds scales, balancing intuition and logic in the pursuit of truth. When you face Justice, you are being called to account for your actions and will be judged accordingly.
“Nekoma and Karasuno are our allies,” Yamiji began. “But that may not remain the truth for very long.”
Everyone was listening in anticipation.
The advisor’s words sent a chill through the room, echoing off the high ceiling and heavy as the dark stone table set into the center of the room. Furtive glances darted about, as if everyone was suddenly afraid to look each other in the eye for too long—who could you trust when you couldn’t even turn to the ones who lent you aid in dire times? The alliance with Karasuno may have been a calculated risk, but Fukurodani’s ties to Nekoma went way back. The two kingdoms had a rich and diverse history despite their various grievances, and they had lent strength to each other and rose up on top as the most powerful kingdoms in the known vicinity.
Now, there were other powers on the rise. Kingdoms that were closing in from the North, South, East, and West. Kingdoms like Shiratorizawa, Inarizaki, Nohebi, Kamomedai—some past allies and some strangers, all posing concerns to Fukurodani and its allies. Entire civilizations that have found a way to conquer new lands, including the one that Fukurodani stood on. These kingdoms could close off the most important trade routes, cut off all the supplies, ruin Fukurodani’s economy and drive them out. Their people could suffer, their crops could die, and they could fall from grace.
Fukurodani had to fight back.
