Karu is the leader of a small but noble samurai family. His dedication to protecting his lands and following the honourable path may have gone entirely unnoticed by the world until three princesses of the imperial house were ambushed on his lands. After giving them aid and helping them on their way, Karu left to follow them to aid in their quest, not knowing if he will even be able to find them again.

Karu is a powerful samurai and his great Zanbato can do immense damage. The combination of Tireless and Bansai means he can charge into combat and still out activate the enemy. His Ki Feat allows for damaging or even killing multiple enemies at once.

The martial skills of the Tengu are legendary across the Golden Empire. Although few in number these avian Yokai long lives give them ample time to gain mastery of not only the martial but also to learn the secrets of the kami who call the mountains their home. Hidden away in their mountain top cities and guarded by the devoted hill tribes few have ever seen these mysterious warriors. What has brought Sojobo down from the mountains and to the aid of the Tengus' old allies the Temple is not known. Sojobo’s skills in combat are equaled by very few. Now he has spread his great wings and left his mountain home the spirits and prospects of the people of the Rokan can only be lifted as a result.

Amaruq quickly learned to master the fierce elements of the mountains she works and serves as inspiration for aspiring hunters. Nobody is foolish enough to want to fight in hand to hand combat with the monsters Amaruq calls prey and she is adept at taking them out long before they can become a threat. In worst case scenarios when the javelins have failed there are few amongst the hunters you would rather have at your side.

The rarest and largest of the Tengu, the Kurama are the leaders of the Tengu people. Buzenbo like all of his caste is a formidable warrior with both sword and bow. Standing ten foot tall and with a wing span three times that, the Kurama are a majestic sight on the battlefield. Soaring down and scattering the enemy with a thunderous beat of muscled wing before unleashing volley after volley of steel tipped arrows the length of a man. Even the bravest will tremble at the screech heard shortly before the shadow of Fujin’s wrath falls upon them.

The eagles are the eyes and ears of the Tengu, creating a potent early warning system should the enemy be foolish enough to climb into the snowy peaks of the Rokan. With beaks as sharp as steel and attacking with practised co-ordination, gouging and clawing down on the intruders, striking at weaknesses in the armour and exposed flesh.

The outcast, an iconoclast once shunned by the Tengu, his wings clipped by the elders for crimes unclear. The Kuren Tengu are one of the rarest and the black Kuren even rarer. However the Black Kuren is a portent to a great disaster. Cast out and thought dead, but Hakzabo survived, raised by a hermit hunter. He has become an agile and skilled hunter warrior, deftly dodging and leaping across the battlefield.

The Hilltribe Trackers go out into the wilderness to hunt, their prey is the snow yeti that also occupy the mountainous region the Tengu call home. They perform rituals before embarking and brave the elements without clothes on their upper torsos. The yeti are fearsome opponents and thus the trackers specialize in ranged attacks. Hoping to bring down the monsters with a well-placed javelin long before the brutes can bring their overwhelming strength to bear.

The many tribes of the mountain have been chased and persecuted for as long as the stories tell. Hounded into the mountains and left to scratch a meagre existence from the barren earth. This has made them a strong, resilient and resourceful people. Little is known about how or why the Tengu reached out to the tribes but the alliance has proved valuable to both sides. All the people of hill tribes are able warriors as they must be to survive in the harsh cold, when the need arises these people of snow and ice are fearsome combatants.

Hirobo is an unquestioned leader amongst the Tengu. Striking an equal mixture of loyalty and fear into those he fights alongside. He is able to change the ebb and flow of a battle by channeling Fujin’s will, opponents rapidly find themselves outmaneuvered on all fronts by his actions. He dominates enemies, his attacks enfeebling their minds whilst he readies to take advantage and mark them for death.

Where the Suzume are the most common, the Kurama are a rarity at the hatching. They are the largest, proudest and strongest warriors amongst the Tengu. Hokibo being a prime example of the Tengu warrior caste. There are few who can be called his equal with a blade, but as the Tengu are taught one’s mind must be as keen as the blade they wield. Hokibo’s knowledge of tactics lets him know what the enemy are planning sometimes before they do. His fluid strikes slice steel like rice paper, in combat a single flex of powerful wings can launch him to his feet or force smaller foe away.

Jirobo is a great haiatake warrior, imbued with a natural talent in combat, he is able to judge his opponent’s subtle movements. The weight changed in their stance, the snatched glance that gives away their intent. This brave tengu is then able to adjust, either by counter attacking or building an iron clad defence of steel.

Kanut, the leader of the hilltribes, is the father to all his people, a true hero, patient teacher and a stoic guardian. He is a great warrior, his acts and courage on the bloody field of battle dispelling doubt and instilling a fever in his warriors. Kanut is a resolute and effective, if direct, fighter. Skilled with the great axe delivering brutal blows to his enemies, those that run receive the sharp and stinging bite of one of his throwing axes, their edges as keen as any samurai sword. A veteran of many battles, wounded many times but seeming unwilling to die at the hands of his enemies.

Like all of the warriors of the tribes, Maniitok is brave and honest. A keen farmer, pious and simple. The people of the hills are a simple uncompromising breed, as hard as the mountain and unyielding in the defence of their kin. A life in the hills is hard though and daily struggle against the land has carved Maniitok into the warrior that protects his people so fiercely, strong as a mountain ox, cutting down his enemies with wide arcing swings of his axe.

A venerable and revered shisai, old as the mountains themselves. Though sight has left him he sees all, knows all; for the birds are his eyes, ears and wings now. He knows the name of wind, of fire, of earth, wood and steel, he knows the nothingness of the void. Such is the respect he is afforded by the Kami he is able to bless his allies or force those of the darkness away, prevented from nearing him. Sensitive as any temple master he is able to bend or steer the flow of ki.

The Father of the Mountains is holding the spiritual hearts of his people and will offer the lives of his people for the greater good.

An amazing hunter and tracker, Nuniq knows the mountains she calls home better than any other. Enemies to the tribes must tread carefully if they don’t want to lose men to the hidden traps and snares, obvious to the tribes people but undetectable to outsiders. Her eyes miss nothing, whether spotting prey, animal or human.

Traditionally Suzume relies on unparalleled speed to gain a position of advantage. However, when faced with a formidable foe, they can sometimes struggle. Oshibe is a Bushi that helps her fellow sparrows face down fearsome enemies. Her combat training has also enabled her to match the best the mortals offer, as long as she fights with a friend.

Fear is a problem for the fast Suzume Tengu; mostly, they have a Ki stat of 1. Gaining Steadfast means your Tengu will be reliable enough to drain those activations from enemies as needed. Oshibe also enjoys the sparrow's legendary manoeuvrability with her Dart Ki Feat, which is more than enough to keep enemies confounded, even though it is limited to once per game. Oshibe is an ideal addition to the Descension Starter Box and fits into the Blue Gale Scouting Party theme as a more combat focussed model.
