My name is Sinoshi. I am a captain of the Army in the Tenchi no Mon region. We of this Empire army are more disciplined than any other empire army. The Lord of this region is the Beautiful Illusionist, Iuranai. She is as beautiful as she is deadly. Those who have stood against her have disappeared without a trace.  Those who have opposed her were usually those who were against a woman in power. Sufficed to say I was one of those people. However I changed what I thought after I saw what she did on the battle field. Once she stepped on the battle field she was a different person all together. She looked a kin to a fallin angel giving righteous justice to those that was against us. The beast men did not see it coming. For this reason I will follow her to the end of time. Now I will tell you of the pride of the Tenchi no Mon region the Samurai

Our samurai’s are true to Bushido. They will not destroy an enemy that has given up to them. But if you do not surrender they will be slaughtered in the name of the empire. They are relentless on the battlefield. But the most relentless are the monks of the Hakuzen who follow Satsujin-ken or the killing -fist they do not give the chance of surrender ever and will destroy all who oppose the empire. I have seen these monks in Hakuzen they were the true meaning of Zen. But on the Battlefield they are Demons with the sole purpose of destruction and brutality. We also have secrets that cannot be told in in this report.

All I can say is I am prepared to face all challenges that I am put up against. I pray that I will be protected by Sigmar and the mystical beasts that will protect me and my comrade in arms. Speaking of my comrades the person that is closes to sigmar and the mystical beasts is the Sohei Sui Lin. She is the most devoted person in the empire to Sigmar. Truth be told I think that is the only thing she ever thinks about. The most mysterious person in the empire holds the position of captain as well. Her name is Shigure she is the most adept at using multiple weapons it would seem that she has hundreds of thousands of weapons in her home but she is most adept at using her two katana’ s  which are called Sakugetsu Ken  (New Moon Sword) and Bougetsu Ken (Full Moon Sword). Another person is the powerful Shugenja is Yui Min while Iuranai specializes in the power of illusion. Yui Min follows closer to the lore of Life. My final comrade is the eccentric Engineer Akisame not much is known other than that he is a crazy old coot.  These will be the people I will lay my life on the line for.

We will be victories in unifying all the territories under the rule of this empire!

Tenchi no Mon

Capital City - Mugyoku - Ōryū

The city of Mugyoku is a prosperous city in the Tenchi no Mon region. It is the home of the great Shugenja Iirunai. The city itself is secluded in a mountain range; the mountain serves a purpose being both beautiful and a powerful line of defense. The style the houses have is a mixture of eastern and western cultures. This is also home of one of their guardian Ōryū, a golden dragon, which protects the people of this empire nation as set forth by their god Sigmar. The prosperity in the city isn’t just from riches but also from the wealth of knowledge in both technology and nature. Sakura trees bloom year round for an unknown reason. The city is ever expanding.

Road- Rakuhoku – Suzaku

The Rakuhoku road is sacred ground and is protected by Suzaku. To those that believe in its power and the power of Sigmar is presented with gifts of wealth and prosperity. However those who walk this road as an unbeliever feels the wrath of this mystical bird as heat unbearable to man and beast consumes them with no way of stopping it. Not even water can quench this heat that is produced. But as I said the believers are given fulfillment and grace.

River - Hokusai –Genbu

Hokusai is so clean that you can see the bottom of the river no matter what the depth it also has an abundance of sea life. However it also serves as a limbo of sorts that has the ability to show your true self as well as give you the chance to see your lost love ones. It is protected by Genbu this powerful turtle also has the duty of governing the dead to their final resting place. It also serves as the judge of these souls; if you are found undeserving your soul will be sucked into the shell of the mighty turtle forever tormented by the wails of the other hopeless souls that reside there.

Monastery - Hakuzen - Byakko

In a secluded mountain in the Tenchi no Mon region lives a sect of monks that are disciplined as well as protected by the power of the white tiger Byakko. The Hakuzen is such an old temple it has been around since before the empire came to be. There are millions ready to lay there life for the wellbeing of the empire. This Mountain has a mystical secret. The monks that practice there will live as long as there is a need for them to live. These monks of with the power of sigmar will smite all non-believers as well as those who go against the way of the Empire. The monks here are serine as the calmest river however once on the battle field they will destroy all who oppose them.

Farm - Chikuan- Seiryū

Chikuan is protected by Seiryū, the azure dragon; with its protection this land has been fertile. Giving an abundance of crops that range from rice and cotton to that of wheat and corn. This land also houses the livestock of the empire. It also sells to any who wish to buy the crops that are grown here. This land has been protected from plague and the like and has withstood the ever moving seas of time. To those who wish to desecrate this land be prepared to feel the rage of Seiryū.
