Honorless heathens, Heroic fighters, Warriors for the sake of war.
The Jiyûnoha are called many things...
They themselves agree the name "Jiyûnoha" stands for a principle or duty rather then a physical thing that can be broken or person that can be slain. The Jiyûnoha call themselves blades, warriors, guardians. What they fight for? What they give their lives to gain and protect? Freedom.The Jiyûnoha are called many things...

Freedom from corruption, from oppression, freedom for everyone in the lands of Shimanari.

The Shimanari consists of many islands and within the mainland of the centre is the Grand capital of Idai. I'll be posting a lore page along with a map later so I'll just touch on how the story starts...
Over two hundred years ago a civil war erupted in Shimanari between the Northern Alliance and the Southern factions. The Alliance won, the first act taken by the new Shogun was to force the country into isolation. None could leave and none could enter, the punishment against these crimes being death.
This isolation ended when ships from the lands of Famrica arrived. Attacking these ships resulted in the destruction of many Shimanari boats and the fishing town of Cawai being decimated.
Famrica have fused magic into weapons, their strength being more powerful then the Nari samurai could even hope to match. The Shogun faced a difficult choice, knowing the country could be destroyed or worse his authority taken from him, the Shogun surrendered. Offering up Shimanari and allowing foriegners into the lands...
Shimanari has been a vassal state to Famrica for twenty two years. During this time the nari population suffered greatly, It is the corruption of Shimanari and the cruelty of Famrica that brought about the Jiyûnoha.
The Jiyûnoha aim to take back their home, by any means necessary...

This is a world of magic and monsters. As the players would be making characters from Shimanari I'll explain their way of using magic briefly here.
People of Shimanari are born with a guardian spirit that watches over them, this spirit is capable of magic and a person can use their spirit as a conduit for a magic. A spirit can be a animal, a monster, some spirits are more humanoid. Regardless of a spirit's shape or size they are only capable of one type of magic.
A example being...
Fox spirit = fire magic.
Snake spirit = poison magic.
Wolf spirit = thunder magic

Though the magic a spirit wields isn't set in stone. Spirits can be found in the wild and made into guardians by ritualistic means.
A Shimanari warrior with multiple guardians is well respected and rightly feared.
