Shiho Clan
The once proud and dominant Shiho had ruled the Isles since the time of the eighth Emperor, before the Takashi led an uprising against them. Led by Shiho Hiroto, ‘The Black Eagle’, their affiliation is to no one and his return has now rallied the fading remnants of the Shiho, like fresh wood on the dying embers of a fire. The Prefecture may play down the strength and resources of the Shiho, it certainly had clipped the Eagle’s wings during the Dragon Wars, but any within the Takashi clan that take solace from this have surely never seen an eagle fight beak and claw on the ground.
One thing is for sure, the storm is brewing and the Black Eagle will be at its crest.
In the years following the Dragon Wars, the Shiho name was rarely mentioned. Recently, that name has started to be spoken again with increasing enthusiasm and excitement as it seems that the only known member of that once-proud clan has returned to the Isles of Jwar. Shiho Hiroto is back to conquer his many foes and destroy the Takashi Clan by any means possible. He is leading a secret war taking place in the rice paddies, jungles, and thickets of Jwar. Shiho Hiroto is choosing to hit-and-run, steal, destroy, and disrupt the vital lines of supply and communication that the Takashi clan need so desperately to rule Jwar.
