The fate of the Satomi Clan lies in the hands of 8 warriors of prophecy, each of whom were born with a crystal orb. The monk, Daisuke, embarks on a journey to find these warriors and reunite the 8 orbs they carry so that they may fulfill their destiny. The original story was the signature work of Edo period author Takzawa Bakin, called "Nanso Satomi Hakkenden". It was first published nearly 200 years ago in 1815. "Nanso" in the title refers to an area that is today southern Chiba Prefecture. Takizawa’s Tale combines stories of the Satomi Clan, an actual family that controlled an area centered in southern Chiba from about 1450 until the early Edo period, with elements from the Chinese story known as "Suikoden". "Nanso Satomi Hakkenden" is a master-work that took Takizawa 106 volumes and 28 years to complete

“O eloquent, just, and mighty Death! whom none could advise, thou hast persuaded; what none hath dared, thou hast done; and whom all the world hath flattered, thou only hath cast out of the world and despised. Thou hast drawn together all the far-stretched greatness, all the pride, cruelty, and ambition of man, and covered it all over with these two narrow words, Hic jacet!”
—Sir Walter Raleigh (1552–1618)
