Mikaru was the senior monk of the Order of the Wind, devoted to Kaze-no-kami, who had been elevated to Fortune of Winds by the Emperor Hantei Genji. Shortly after the Order was founded Mikaru was summoned to Imperial Court, to defend accusations that his religious practices bordered on treason and sacrilege. Mikaru and the Shining Prince held dialogue, which was passed down in stories from generation to generation. All the Great Clans who atttended the court that day found different lessons in that moment, and they all took those lessons to heart. The Emperor officially recognized the Order of the Wind as acceptable.
