The Lost Gods were those Fortunes elevated by the reviled Hantei XVI, known as the Steel Chrysanthemum, who delighted in cursing those who aroused his ire to an eternal afterlife of shame and suffering. These pitiable beings had virtually no adherents in the mortal realm, and were outcasts even in Tengoku. Over a dozen Imperial Decrees were issued. Their plight was remembered by a small number of monks who tended to the Temple of Lost Gods in their honor deep in the wilderness in Phoenix lands.
