New page

The '''Yama Kings''' are the supreme wardens (and arguably, prisoners) of [[Yomi Wan]]. They are largely fallen servants of the [[August Personage In Jade|August Personage of Jade]] who, discovering that [[chi]] could be extracted through torture, adopted torture techniques to extract chi.

Generally, the only requirement to be a Yama King is to own some real estate in Yomi Wan. While some, such as [[Tou Mu]], are actually corrupt and fallen former judges of the dead, others are merely corrupt spirits in general ([[Emma-O]] was originally an Ainu judge of the dead made bitter and twisted by Yamato occupation of his island), and some ([[Haha No Fukami|Haha no Fukami]] and [[Yen Lo]]) appear to follow their original duties to a greater or lesser extent. The Yama Kings also include beings from other places, such as corrupt mortal sorcerers ([[Mikaboshi]]) or possible [[Vampire (VTM)|Vampires]] ([[Ravana]]).

The Yama Kings are powerful, but they are also bound by their crimes - the oldest remember the strange smile on the August Personage's face when He turned away from them, and the wisest suspect that ultimately, they are the butt of a joke which will only be apparent at the end of time.
