  1. TETSUGAWA 鉄川 CALLS TO THE OYASHI OF ALMARIS, By the grace of KAMISAMA, the honorable clans of Dodaitose and Kato have secured for our peoples fertile land to call home once again. The lessons of ruin brought by the Li Ren Tyrants of Yopinawa have been learnt, and it is the prime prerogative of Daimyō to prevent such an embarrassment from ever befalling our peoples again. In consideration of this, the Southern Bank of the River Guren has been settled and dubbed TETSUGAWA, or Iron River. Within these lands, our people have been afforded the right to erect a cultural domain whereby Oyashi customs shall take the forefront. Though nestled within the bosom of Aaun, the Tetsugawa Cultural Domain shall not be subject to gaijin rowdiness. It would bring great shame upon Oyashima to besmirch one’s benefactors or to abandon one’s allies in a time of conflict. The Samurai of Tetsugawa shall pledge their blades in the repelling of invaders or would-be upstarts who would seek to spread the curse of Ibleesian ambition into our lands. To those Oyashi who would come with the noble desire of reunification, they shall be treated as family. They shall be granted immediate citizenship, a free home and the possibility of discovering kinship with one of the pre-existing clans. Further, those who seek to become SAMURAI may undertake the Budō trials; those who succeed may be considered for the rank. At current, any who come shall be subject to only six concrete laws. 1. GAJIN MAY NOT OWN PROPERTY. 2. LI REN AND HOU-ZI ARE FORBIDDEN. 3. YOKAI OR EVIL SPIRITS ARE TO BE SLAIN. 4. ONLY SAMURAI AND KNIGHTS MAY WIELD SWORDS. 5. SAMURAI SHALL ACT AS JUDGE, JURY AND EXECUTIONER 6. ALL SHALL RESPECT THE HIGHER CLASSES AND THOSE OF SUPERIOR RANK. To locate Tetsugawa, one need only follow the Tori Gate Path which wraps about the Field of Swords Monument. Currently, Tetsugawa is in need of a Tavernkeep, A Smith, Merchants, Fishermen and any other skilled profession. Come Home Oyashi.

    The Ishiguntai

    | I s h i g u n t a i | The Stone Army Purpose: Originating from the shores of Aeldin in Oyashima the Ishiguntai are the sworn samurai guard of the Hirano Kuge as well as famed monster hunters and cursed relic collectors. These selective hunters loosely follow in the footsteps of the Marked Men that accompanied Kais Ishikawa from descendant lands to their home. The Oyashiman warriors have sworn themselves to defend descendantkind and their patrons: The Hirano clan by engaging in the study, pacification, preservation, and combat of the supernatural. The Ishiguntai do not kill mindlessly, but instead seek to act as liaisons between descendants and the unknown in the best case scenarios, even-tempered slayers of the wicked in the worst, and clever huntsmen for beasts too dangerous for untrained descendants. Oath & Code Oath I prefer death before dishonor, I shall not abandon my post No pleasure from the slaughter, I shall be merciful foremost Sworn to Hirano sons and daughters, I shall forever protect my host Humility is my virtue and my honor, I shall find no reason to boast Stone secrets poison waters, I shall keep them from the coast I aid the needy not the clotter, I shall protect both man and ghost My stone blood is thicker than water, from now until my funeral toast. Code of Conduct The Ishiguntai are expected to behave in a manner that brings honor to the House Hirano and the Stone Army itself. Respect for the laws of the nations they visit in pursuit of their contracts as well as the authority of those nations is considered paramount. The Ishiguntai are to carry themselves with level heads, and should endeavour toward a stoic and unflinchingly calm demeanour even in the face of mockery, danger, and deceit. Ishiguntai are not mindless executioners of the supernatural, they are liaisons between the eldritch and descendantkind. The reasonable should be permitted an ear as a soldier at war is often more a monster than a ghost or beast defending its own territory. Ishiguntai are not permitted to give away information about the inner workings of the order, the contents of its archives, or the trials required of the initiates. Ranks Meishu: The commander of the Ishiguntai as a whole is known as the ‘Meishu’ Which translates roughly to ‘leader’ in Oyashiman. Typically this role is taken by a member of the Hirano clan. The Meishu acts as the figurehead, diplomat, pay negotiator, logistical head, and organizer of the Ishiguntai. Taicho: Captains of the Ishiguntai are known as “Taichou”, they are responsible for leading squads of Senshi on more dangerous hunts and excursions as well as for commissioning gear for and outfitting Senshi with any practical knowledge required to face their quarries. Squads composed entirely of taichou are often sent on more dangerous assignments than their Senshi subordinates. Senshi: The first oathed rank of the Ishiguntai, Senshi are warriors who have passed the trials required to become Ishiguntai and are allowed access to the libraries, reliquary, and armory of the order. They undertake freelance or assigned hunts on behalf of the Stone Army and are allowed free reign of the grounds and audience with the Meishu regarding their concerns. Initiate: Initiates are the hopeful applicants of the Ishiguntai who undertake trials to prove their worth. Unoathed and untrusted until their trials are undertaken, initiates are not permitted free reign of the Ishiguntai grounds, free access to the library and reliquary, nor audience with the Meishu. Traditions The Initiate Trials: Initiates of the Ishiguntai are expected to undertake five trials leading up to their oath which are revealed and to be prepared for one after the other. While the Stone Army keeps the nature of these trials clandestine the names of each trial are known to the public as follows: The Trial of Poems, The Trial of Waste, The Trial of Ordeals, The Trial of Blossoms, and the Trial of Stone ((Credit to Gamma_Byte for this art)) The Oathtaking: Ishiguntai initiates who pass their trials are brought before the meishu and expected to recite the poetic oath to declare their lifelong loyalty to the Stone Army and the Hirano Kuge. While speaking the oath they will be handed their first issued weapon as an Ishiguntai, a tanto which they will use to carve a pattern into their skin while recounting the oath before their lord forever scarring and branding them as a member of the Stone Army.
