Iiju Makoto - Prefecture of Ryu
A ward is a member of a noble clan who has been taken in by another clan to be raised for a time. The practice varies, with it sometimes being undertaken voluntarily - to help prospective heirs learn the customs of other clans as part of their education. It can also be involuntarily, with the "ward" actually being a "hostage" for his or her clan's good behaviour or until a ransom is paid. Sometimes, as part of marriage alliances, one of the betrothed is taken as a ward so he or she can get to know his or her future spouse. IIju is not Dragon but Hare, although his loyalty to the Takashi is unquestioned, he is the head of the Takashi household guard whom follow his orders without hesitation.
Okyo Archer - Ito Clan
The ashigaru in the Okyo garrisons are massing in preparation for the battles to come. Whether armed with the Okyo naginata, as slightly smaller version of the standard weapon due to the confines of the terrain or the Ito short bow they are ready to combat the enemies of the snake. The versatile archers make excellent skirmishers, lightly passing through the densest undergrowth before raining death upon the enemy with cold Izu steel.
Tournaments
Golden Kami 2, 25th March 2016
Into its second year Golden Kami is made all the more interesting as the organisers came to the Birmingham Grandmasters last year, this year they challenge players to visit Sweden, here's more from the organiser...
At Easter next year there will be a Bushido tournament at Gothcon, Swedens largest gaming convention. Right now we dont have more information than that it will be on the 25 of March 2016. But as we get closer the information will be found here: http://grgagu.blogspot.se/p/gothcon-201.html Earlier this year when some of Swedes were at the Grandmasters in Birmingham, some of the GCT boys showed some interest in coming over and participate in a Bushido tournament. This is IT, this will surely be the best Bushido event in Sweden! The gauntlet has been thrown! ;)
Will you be taking up that gauntlet?
