Highlights and statements

Welcome to the second edition of the Ninja Scrolls! The official MOD RUN paper.

Your monthly source for news from the mods.

May is here! The flowers are blooming, the trees are regrowing their leaves and the next issue of the Seichi Scrolls has been released.

First I have to apologize for it's late release. I only recently got home from being away for a week and after a little relaxation this issue was pushed back a few days.

I'd like to start by announcing Brank's departure as mod. While his stay was short, we all appreciated his hard work and dedication while he was here. He will be missed as a moderator, but you will still catch him around!

The mod applications are also now closed. Currently we are reviewing and discussing the submissions. Chosen candidates will be contacted once the decisions are made, and an announcement will follow by the time they have their in-game roles.

Frost and Silence: The Rise of Gemino and the Rule of Rx

By:Rx

In the shadowed wake of rising tensions, as blades clashed and banners burned across the fractured lands of Seichi, a figure stepped from the mists—his presence as cold and certain as winter’s breath. Gemino, a name once whispered in quiet corners of the world, now echoed through the war-torn peaks as he rose to claim the mantle of Kage of Glacier. His ascension was neither announced with ceremony nor cloaked in politics. It was swift. Silent. Ruthless. As if the very ice had chosen him to lead. And he wasted no time.

While the clans of Seichi spilled blood beneath crimson skies, Gemino made his move not with speeches, but with action. In the heart of the conflict—where mountains groaned under the weight of war and the very land seemed to fracture with each passing day—he stepped into War Peak. Once a neutral ground, now a battlefield scarred by years of struggle, it became the proving ground of his authority. With calculated precision, Gemino and his shinobi struck like phantoms, driving deep into the heart of the chaos. And when the dust settled, the Glacier banner flew high over the ruins, its icy sigil gleaming in defiance of fire and fury.

This was no mere territorial gain. It was a message, etched in frost and blood.

To the clans watching from afar, it became clear: this was not a Kage content to inherit power. This was a sovereign of storms, carving his dominion with blade and resolve. The world of Seichi shifted beneath his footsteps. Old alliances trembled. Rivals recalibrated. For some, War Peak had been a contested high ground. For Gemino, it was simply the first step.

Rumors now swirl like snow on the wind—of hidden techniques unearthed in the Glacier archives, of warriors reborn in the chill of loyalty, and of a Kage whose eyes see far beyond the current war. Seichi watches with bated breath as a new chapter begins, written in frost and sealed with purpose.

Gemino has claimed more than land. He has claimed the moment. And now, all who walk the path of shadow must ask themselves: will they stand with Glacier… or fall beneath its rising storm?

In the frost-clad halls of Glacier’s ancestral sanctum, beneath the glimmer of ancient ice that remembers every war and whisper, the elders gathered. Branks, Caranore, and the enigmatic Nrfzyzhr—names carried with weight and legacy—stood side by side for the first time in an age. Each bore the burden of countless winters, and yet, in this moment, their eyes burned with renewed fire.

As the storm of war swept through Seichi, it became clear: no single blade, no lone shadow, could cut through the chaos alone. And so, the elders—guardians of tradition and architects of Glacier’s hidden strength—set aside their differences, old wounds buried beneath layers of frost and duty. With solemn ceremony, they clasped hands—an ancient sign among shinobi that words were not enough, that oaths must be sealed through action.

Together, they cast their vote—not just in council, but in spirit—to move forward under one banner, toward a shared future. The decision: to forge an alliance with the Current Village, whose forces, like Glacier’s, were hardened by nature and honed by necessity. Though their elements differed—ice and water—their enemies were the same, and their survival now intertwined.

This pact, forged in silence but solid as glacier stone, signals more than diplomacy—it is unity reborn in a time of fragmentation. A cold alliance, yes, but one with purpose. One that could change the tide of war.

As word spreads through the shadows of Seichi, one truth begins to crystallize: Glacier no longer stands alone. And with the might of the Current beside them, a new front rises—steady, unyielding, and ready to shape the course of the war.

In the cold wake of war, War Peak fell silent—its echoes of steel replaced by whispers of grief. The people of Glacier, once proud and unyielding, now moved like ghosts through shattered streets, burdened by loss and the weight of change.

Into this silence stepped Rx.

Where Gemino ruled in fire and frost, Rx ruled in restraint. Seeing his people broken, he made a bold decree: no challenges to the throne, no war—for seven days. Glacier would not bleed again before it could breathe.

Seven days of silence.

No battles. No ambition. Just stillness.

And slowly, the frost began to lift—not from stone, but from spirit. The village stirred. Children returned to play. Shinobi stood tall once more. Glacier remembered what it was, and what it could be.

As the seventh dusk fell, the people gathered before the Stone of Verdicts. Rx stood—worn armor, calm eyes—and spoke:

“Peace has walked with us, but war calls again. I was not chosen to conquer, only to hold the line. Soon, I will pass the throne—to one with the will to lead not just through war, but beyond it.”

With those words, the seal was broken.

The throne would open.

The storm would rise.

And one would emerge to carry Glacier’s will into the fire once more.
