Blade Symphony takes place in an age where the blades wielded by blind sword masters shape the fate of the Known World.

The Black Rose, a mighty kingdom forged from war by the Three Clans, ruled for hundreds of years with the aid of their Hokuten agents: spies and assassins of unearthly skill.

The Hokuten, betrayed their masters and took over the Black Rose from within. From its shadows they rewrote history and twisted it into the Greater Wing – a new, unified nation ruled in secret by the Hokuten.

Now, one hundred years after the war, a group of loyalists and surviving scions of the original Black Rose now fight to reveal the Hokuten’s plot. Those caught in the conflict, the Vagrants, are either hired as mercenaries against either side, or simply hunted to extinction.

The Black Rose

Former superpower betrayed by its graetest assassins, the Hokuten. Now they fight for revenge and justice, in hopes to regain control of what they feel is rightfully theirs.

The Hokuten

A secret society of master assassins, schemers, and spies using the Greater Wing as a guise for their own motives. Their name comes from the romanization of phrase “Northern Skies”.

The Vagrants

Groups of warriors who train in the way of the blind sword caught between the conflict of the Greater Wing and the Black Rose. Men and women whom may be monks, grand masters, thugs, and mercenaries; outlaws one and all.
