Battle Shimazu the Defiler on Artix Entertainment

Empress Miko needs your help on Yokai Isle!

The people of Yokai lost so much in the war against the Queen of Monsters. It’s all so fresh for them; they still mourn their dead. But - supreme disrespect! - an unruly onryō named Shimazu the Defiler has been awakened by ShadowLord Malgor. In his death, he's focused his anger on those who killed him: Empress Miko and her people. He stalks their graveyard with his minions, attacking anyone who enters to mourn their dead. Empress Miko has been unable to honor her fallen father ever since; defeat Shimazu and bring peace the the people of Akiba!

This weekend, log in and /join shimazu, then talk to Empress Miko to begin your quest to help the people of Akiba!

Battle the invading yokai
Cleanse and defend the gravestones of the fallen
Makes offerings to the ancestors
Take down Shimazu the Defiler
