- The Path was set on the world Han-Jinn, seen in Way of the Rat and Brath, in a Japanese-esque world that told the story of Obo-san (Nobuyuki), one of the many Sigil-bearers in CrossGen’s Sigilverse.
The two main political groups in The Path are of a Japanese and Chinese typology. The two groups are at war with each other which is fought over a vast ocean that separates the two. It was also one of CrossGen’s titles that premiered with a prequel issue.
The Path has had two Sigil-bearers. The first was the Character Todosi who was killed by the First. The second was his brother, Obo-san, to whom the Sigil was passed when Todosi was killed. Todosi appears in the prequel to The Path and an issue of The First. The Path is primarily based on Obo-san and his journey as a Sigil-bearer.
The Path began with the story of the Warlord Todosi, a member of the clan Tsugawa. The House of Tsugawa had served the Emperor for over 200 years and during this time Todosi’s House had played their part in maintaining the Empire. In his time Todosi had risen through the ranks and become a warrior and leader of the troops of Nayado. His brother, Nobuyuki known only as Obo-san, had become a monk and had dedicated his life to enlightenment. Now all that was left of House Tsugawa was Todosi and Obo-san, two brothers with a destiny.
An empire across the sea. At the beset of his Emperor, Todosi is commanded to invade Shinacea. While Todosi obeys his emperor others think the Emperor mad and know that it will be a battle that Nayado will surly lose. Despite his reluctance Todosi sails the seas and sets off to invade Shinacea.
As Todosi and his army landed ashore they saw Shinacea’s army waiting for them. Within hours half of Todosi’s army is slaughtered compelling Todosi to call for the order to retreat. As the Army of Nayado limped back across the ocean their leader was concerned with the price he would pay for failing his Emperor. But, as his army drew ashore, and as Todosi prepared himself to face his Emperor they now saw Shinacea’s troops in pursuit, intent on seeking vengeance for Nayado’s transgression upon their soil.
And so, as Todosi’s army prepared themselves to defend the gateway of Nayado, Todosi prayed. He prayed to the god’s that his brother so intently served, he prayed for deliverance from Shinacea’s troops so that Nayado would not be erased from the soil he stood upon.
And thus his prayers were answered.
