Utawarerumono — Mask of Truth
The realm is plunged into turmoil in *Mask of Truth*, as a ruthless general’s treacherous power grab has overthrown the rightful ruler of the Yamato Empire. Now, hope rests on the shoulders of two well-known heroes, who must forge unlikely alliances between warring kingdoms and confront the formidable might of the Imperial forces to reclaim what was lost.
Following their departure from the capital, Anju has been poisoned, Oshtor is deceased, and Haku has assumed his position. Now, Haku must rebuild their forces and safeguard Anju, all while concealing his true identity from those he consider…
While Kiwru and the legions of Oshtor’s guard hastened toward Ennakamuy, Haku and his newly assembled army had to press on to offer assistance.
Haku confronts his first true trial: Dekopompo advances against Ennakamuy, his army numbering in the thousands, accompanied by a figure Haku recognizes.
Kuon awoke in her Tuskur home, disoriented and with no recollection of her journey back. Yet, even if she could remember, it wouldn't change the grim reality: she was still powerless to save Haku.
A peculiar merchant sought out Haku, bearing the claim of being dispatched by Kuon. Meanwhile, Mikazuchi, the Imperial Guard of the Left, made a call upon Ennakamuy.
Kuon confronted Anju, viewing her as an entitled child unfit to govern Yamato.
Kuon strives to overwhelm Anju, seeking to keep her bound to Ennakamuy rather than allowing her to attempt a return to Yamato.
Kuon returned to Ennakamuy, welcomed back as the familiar and cherished companion they had all known.
The group journeyed to Rulutieh’s native land, but there, a member of her family expressed reluctance at her departure.
The group journeyed to Nosuri’s dwelling, where a member of the Eight Pillars sought to forge an alliance.
Deep within the Great Canyon, near Ennakamuy, Tokifusa ambushes the group, determined to reclaim the Golden Seal by any means necessary. He forces them into a precarious position, intent on killing them to retrieve the artifact.
Their struggle to free Nakoku led them to an adversary unforeseen, a force they had not anticipated confronting.
Having ensured Nakoku's safety, the company turned their faces toward Ennakamuy, preparing for the next phase of the conflict.
A hush falls over the assembled forces as they prepare for the decisive clash over Yamato. A brief respite offers a moment to gather strength before the final confrontation.
With the conflict against Raiko and the court's armies commencing, Haku must employ every resource at his disposal to endure their relentless assault.
On the plains stretching before the capital, Haku met Mikazuchi in fierce combat. Their armies collided, a maelstrom of conflict under the open sky.
The clash between Haku and the court’s armies reached a startling climax.
With Raiko's final defense, the conflict within the Yamato province draws to a close.
The cessation of the civil war marked not an end, but a turning point for Haku. He was now called to embark upon a path newly opened by the conflict's conclusion.
Haku journeyed to Tuskur, and there he encountered the kingdom's princess.
The secret of the Master Key is now known.
Woshi pilfers the Master Key, intending to employ it for purposes of his own devising.
Woshi’s relentless pursuit of ultimate wisdom exacts a devastating toll on the world.
A creeping eternal winter threatens to engulf the world, and Haku finds himself in a desperate race against time to halt its advance. But even as he confronts this ancient peril, a new and unforeseen danger begins to stir.
From the encroaching darkness of the Noroi, a surprising aid emerges, offering salvation to Haku and his companions.
Woshis makes one final bid for dominion, a desperate attempt to unravel existence itself.
With Woshi’s grip on authority tightening, Haku faces an unavoidable choice.
Haku had vanished, and his companions set out in search of him.
