In the Lofty Realm, Princess Sakuna was a spoiled harvest goddess accustomed to a life of luxury and sake. Her life of leisure came to an abrupt end when a group of starving humans accidentally wandered onto the bridge connecting their world to the heavens. While attempting to chase the "lowly" mortals away, Sakuna’s temper and carelessness caused a massive fire that destroyed the sacred storehouse of grain dedicated to the elder gods.
