The Ito Shugenja have been testing the limits of their clan’s connection to Orochi. Where the Shisai are granted power from the Kami, Shugenja take power and abuse their bond. As soon as the first followers became Hebimiman, the Shugenja tried to do the same. But where Orochi’s gifts are seamlessly blended into the supplicant to make a perfect predator, the Shugenja experiments often produce malformed piteous creatures they call Abominations.
Haruto is a rarity among the Ito as he is well-liked and often overlooked when others are targeted for familial assassination. Perhaps it’s because he seeks only to do his duty as a samurai? Thus removing himself from all the incessant Ito infighting? Or maybe he’s canny enough to project one and cloak the other?
Itsunagi is having a profound effect on the Ito. While many revere him as the chosen of Orochi, others envy his position and plot his downfall. The clan, it seems, is divided and conflicted. Koburai is neither; he respects Itsunagi’s leadership style without question. Likewise, Koburai respects Itsunagi’s fighting prowess and seeks nothing more than to emulate it; he even wields twin blades like his hero. The swiftness of the snake manifests itself to the Ito clan in many ways, and Koburai, it seems, is blessed by both speed and reflex.

A curse to some and a blessing to others! Azami, it seems, is blessed with the dread countenance of Orochi. When she turns to face her foes, scores are fixed in terror, unable to defend or even think of an attack! She fights with an entangling chain rather than a noble weapon, using the weighted ends to crack skulls and bones. The spiralling motion of her chain captures her foes as if they were ensnared in the coils of the snake.
Veteran warriors in the Ito clan who achieve Gunso status receive spears to recognise this achievement. Ito warmasters fashion these lethal weapons to lacerate, disembowel and butcher enemy soldiers by causing truly horrific wounds. Akane, ever known for her cruel and sadistic behaviour on tand off the battlefield, delights in using her newly awarded spear to impale her foes on the end of it, then enjoys standing back to watch them die. Even the soldiers under her control stay out of her way as there is just no telling where Akane stops, and her cruelty begins.
This product provides you with a starter and additional figures that fit the included theme card, as well as the special cards pack for the faction - enough to field a warband at full strength and get you started playing Bushido!
