The 'successor' of Akai Itozenkai. A former Yakuza clan that once held a tight grip on Hingashi.Under new leadership, it threatens to rebuild its numbers and strength once more. Ōkami Kiba, "The Wolf of Kugane" and former oyabun of Kiba-Kai is thus succeeded by Fukushima Eno, the 'Gold Snake' and former saiko-komon of Kiba-Kai.This "exchange" of power is unbeknownst to the public and only those who join the maw will learn a terrible secret. Are you prepared to learn what Kiba-Kai has to hide? As far as the city proper is concerned, 'the wolf' is still very much alive, silently lurking in the shadows, waiting to strike.What was once a loud and powerful force to be reckoned with, now nothing more than a whisper on the streets of Kugane. Rival clans may find the sudden silence alarming... the quiet before the storm to come.

And a magnificent storm shall it be...

Our Goal⸻|| Heavy Spoilers

(We are post-Endwalker.)
At its face, Kiba-Kai appears to be just another clan born from the bowels of Kugane. Once one of the largest clans in the Hingan city proper, (for reasons unknown) has since been reduced to only a small handful of clansmen.For those who join the maw and obtain their 'mark', there is but one goal: Opposing the bakufu shogun and righting the wrongs instilled by the abuse of power and greed.
The reason? Left unspoken; only those who prove their worth and earn the trust of their oyabun will learn the truth.Something "blasphemous" lurks within the estate and those sensitive to aether might notice there is more to Fukushima than meets the eye. Even your brothers and sisters seem to harbor something "beneath the surface." If they wish to get closer, they'll need to offer a 'piece' of themselves; there's a reason clansman are called "fangs."
