Are the Toribash clans stories all connected?
Bear with me
I decided to take a better look into something that is often overlooked when making a toribash clan: the story.
As some of the clans had removed or edited their main page once they hit official status, the clan story became optional, and many clans deleted the lore altogether, an event similar to the Alexandria library that occurred in 48 BC. And just like the burning of the books of Alexandria, not everything was lost, and some pieces of the true story had survived. This thread is a dive into trying to figure out the true lore behind Toribash itself.
The clans whose stories had not been claimed by fire, and its part in story:
EPILOGUE
In the beggining, Toribash was only a game, but at some point, currently lost/unknown knowledge, Toribash became sentient and a world of its own. During and after this time it was ruled similar to feudal Japan, and between 1603 and 1868 it adopted a policy known as Sakoku, which resulted in the isolation from the Real world and the Toribash world. One of the clans that ruled during this period were the Tokuwaga family:
As you may or may not have noticed, this clan ruled from 1603 to 1867, but 1868 was the beggining of one of the major events in the history of Toribash.
The Calamity
At some point during the rule of the Tokugawas, a powerful mage was studying the dark magic of Ye Olde Conga Line. It may be possible that Tokugawa fell to the mage. From what was left of the Tokugawa, the spirits of the clan lived on, being reborn, invisible to the world, but persisting into becoming stronger.
The ghost of the shoguns
The ghosts of the tokugawas became the hidden nation, working from the shadows, unseen to the world, and eventually becoming stronger.
Rumour: it is possible that in between the mage strike and the fall of the tokugawas, they were also struck by other clans, such as win, which can be considered in the following passage:
Chaos era: The Vector Strike and An army of broken soldiers
At an unspecified time, the Vector clan attacked, with the intent to take over the world(Toribash). This lead to a period of chaos and disorder, but from the despair rose an army using chaos to attack chaos itself.
The Quest for the Banner
At face value they may be searching just for bland banners, but there may be a deeper meaning to this. Banners may be another word used for flags, which is what a nation may be known for. The reason for their search is a mistery, they may have been the last nation on the world, in search for another amid the emptiness. Whatever the reason may be, they may have found it:
Rumour: It is also possible that this forgotten civilization were the tokugawa themselves:
The Civilized Era and the Uncertain Future
Currently, the clans seems to be in a relatively peaceful era. Many of the clans focusing on self protection rather than conquest, and in some cases even advocating for world peace:
As we unveil more of the lost knowledge we will figure more out about the future of our little ToriWorld. We still have some loose ends: What happened to the mage, and is tribe really the tokugawas?

They chanted "Don't kill my vibe!" as they passed through the crowds. Those who joined willingly, survived. Those who refused, were conquered and went down in history. It's rumored that Ye Olde Conga Line is so powerful, anyone who dares to disrupt it, Sparky will strike them with 40,000 volts of electricity straight to the nipples.

The War left notable scars in the hearts of men. Legacies are cruel, memories are desperate.
I remember that at the time the houses were ruins, under constant risk of looting. Our best shelter was a large, heavy tree there.
We started to form small groups to defend ourselves. It was pretty wild stuff. The weaker groups were soon disbanded or decimated, the more intelligent groups perpetrated. We developed defense mechanisms, information was our best weapon.
As the long months passed, we established our base, we grew. However, we had no name. We were omnipresent, omniscient, solid and mysterious. People outside had no knowledge of what was going on in the organization, in fact, neither did I. The strangest thing of all was the disappearance, the organization had disappeared, I can't say why.
Everyone thought we decided to work quietly, and they called us Hidden, which is kind of funny.
Who we are? We are the whole. Our origin? The despair. Our language? The silence.
Our mission? Deepen the roots.
My name is ^;´%&, and I ...^:$: `*...;.^: ....?;@.

Rumour: It is also possible that this forgotten civilization were the tokugawa themselves:

You were searching for a lost Tribe, rumours surrounded their very existence as they disappeared many moons ago

Our purpose is to make sure our members can evolve in every way possible. You could think of us as a sort of academy.
We're here to teach and learn.
As we unveil more of the lost knowledge we will figure more out about the future of our little ToriWorld. We still have some loose ends: What happened to the mage, and is tribe really the tokugawas?
