This outraged the great O-Kagachi, kami of all things, igniting an ire that would claim countless lives. With aid from moonfolk allies, Konda kidnapped a kami to secure his own power and immortality. In truth, it was the proud daimyo Konda who had begun the war. Kamigawa's people wondered why the kami betrayed them, even as they fought for survival. Throughout this siege, Konda remained within his stronghold, mysteriously safe from harm. Over the next twenty years, spirits of every shape and size would descend on the plains, ravaging everything in their path.
Scores of spirit-world monstrosities swept through the town, killing nearly every living thing. A few miles from Eiganjo Castle, the kami set upon the town of Reito. Then came the night that changed Kamigawa forever. Even as his armies and samurai secured more territory in Konda's name, the kami manifested in ever-greater numbers. Meanwhile, the plane's most powerful warlord, the daimyo Takeshi Konda, ruled over the Towabara Plains from his stronghold at Eiganjo.
But their appearance was so alien and surreal, no true meaning could be discerned. Some scholars believed they were delivering a message or a warning. Slowly at first, the kami began to take form in the material world. The inhabitants of Kamigawa were content with this life of devotion. Each kami was a divinity, and the way to happiness was to honor these gods and live by their ways. Reminiscent of sengoku-era Japan, this plane contains two symbiotic worlds: the utsushiyo, or material realm, and the kakuriyo, or kami spirit realm. Then suddenly their gods attacked, forcing the world into brutal war. For many hundreds of years, Kamigawa's denizens peacefully worshipped the spirits of their world.
