Yuzusho

Origins
Yuzusho was adopted by a retired Exorcist of the School of the Sacred Beasts when he was not yet a toddler. While he had little talent learning the Exorcist Arts, the same could not be said about his intellect, so the old Exorcist brought him up to become an Imperial Scholar instead. However, the old Exorcist had always regretted the dying of the Exorcist Arts, and under the rule of an undead Emperor, it seemed that there would be no reprieve. Every other of the four Great Schools had dissolved or collapsed, leaving only the Sacred Beast Lineage remaining.

After the passing of the old Exorcist, Yuzusho decided against working for the Emperor and instead looked to pass on his Master’s Exorcist Arts, wandering the lands under the pretence of a failed scholar looking for a living.

History
Millennia ago, the Grandmaster Shinsho glimpsed upon the legendary Scripture of Singularity and read two characters from it. It was these two characters which helped him create the Exorcist Arts and found the School of Exorcism. Grandmaster Shinsho established the Five Principles of Exorcists, from which his disciples had differing views and split the School of Exorcism into the Five Great Schools: of Yin-Yang, of the Five Elements, of the Starry Sky, of the Mountains and Seas, and of the Sacred Beasts.

The School of the Five Elements, the Starry Sky, and the Mountains and Seas had collapsed long before the birth of even the old Exorcist, with the School of Yin-Yang dissolving themselves after the resurrection of the Emperor, which violated one of the Fundamental Balances - the Balance between Life and Death.
