Koyama Clan

The Koyama Clan is a Plagatéan noble clan based in the city of Ame. Originating from the province of Michinaru in Eldham, they have established themselves on the mainland following the fall of the Second Plagatéan Empire. Despite never seizing the Shogunate, they are regarded as one of the nation's most powerful clans.

Origins
According to the clan's origin myth, they are descendants of the rulers of an ancient civilisation of demons, known as the Onika. Following their people's decimation, the son of God-King Oren has managed to escape the massacre and found his way to Eldham, which he aimlessly traversed for months, before finally collapsing from hunger, thirst and exhaustion. He was found by the region's then-governor and future Tagavor Leon Olsen-Tanaka. After recovering, the amnesia-stricken heir decided to stay and make a name for himself.

Early Period
Vexilly officially founded the clan in 50 SMP (then under the name Vexillius Morafin) in Plagatéan Michinaru, which he helped govern for several years, before embarking on a journey to rediscover his roots. After exploring the ancient ruins of the Onika civilisation he embraced his heritage, taking on the Koyama family name. The family enjoyed a slow, stable rise to prominence in the period following the fall of the First Empire, when the province was annexed by Leon Olsen-Tanaka, who at the time led the Kardivian Peoples.

Around the same time another prominent clan member, Koyama Fate, married the head of the van Sonne family, Gunkan van Sonne. Meanwhile Vexilly, the family's head, contacted his younger brother, Josh of Kardivia, informing him of the new clan and inviting him to reclaim his family roots in House Koyama.

Blue Fleet and Migration to Rathnir
Immediately before the Fall of the Second Empire, Olsen-Tanaka was deposed and exiled. Even so, the clan managed to hold onto their demesnes in present-day Ame and Tsuyoi. The Blue Fleet, with Josh and Vexilly as its leaders, set sail from Eldham to aid the declining Empire. Knowing the impending fall would result in Michinaru having less protection from the Goonguard raids and hostilities from the province's neighbours, the brothers decided to dock at a small fishing village and settled there, renaming it Ame. They later became tributaries of the Serene Republic of Novastonia.

Veldski Civil War
After the outbreak of the Veldski Civil War, the clan sided with Chumon Ito, most notably taking a part in the battle of Khorisal. Once the front reestablished itself as the Plagatéan Regency under Ieteru Kumagaya, the Koyama joined the newly formed nation permanently, quickly becoming central figures on its political scene. Tensions arose, however, when the Shogun invoked tensions within the country's aristocracy, who accused him of being unable to conduct meaningful politics. The return of Tagavor Nero further worsened the ruler's standings, with the angered clans looking to the Koyama as their leader against the Shogun.

Rose Coalition
In the Year XXX SMP, Koyama Vexilly distributed military documents with various Soul Crows to be delivered to the Northern Daimyo's of Plagatéa like the Numachi Clan and the Artis Clan; The Tschangsiu clan and Luczkso clan they failed in their insurrection of the Shogun with the battle taking place in the heart of Plagatéa, the capital Khorisal in the north.

Kumagaya Sea Incident
When the Shogun Ieteru Kumagaya went out to sea to speak to our brother nation of Simulami his ship got wrecked at sea and went missing for a month during this time word reached quickly of Kumagaya not arriving in simulami and so the Roju council had acted swiftly to ammend this problem, an investigation was launched to find out the whereabouts of the ship and more importantly the person it was transporting, It was at this time however that the council needed to appoint a shogun regent to bring order to the country, thus Vexilly Koyama, with his previous ambitions and his overall renowned leadership and charismatic personality made him the clear choice to lead the country, and so it was unanimously agreed that Vexilly would be declared Shogun Regent, his time as Shogun was brief with only small democratic reforms being introduced like the Party system and some minor reforms to the countries Join ( Parliament ).

Luckily Kumagaya was found and retrieved by the Plagatéan Military, when he came back instead of immediately taking the reigns again he decided to watch Vexilly for a week to see how he could handle the country, impressed with the fact the country didnt collapse or fall into a civil war Kumagaya decided to declare him as his Heir to the Throne and has taken Vexilly under his wing as his pupil to become an examplary shogun
