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.

Nuan is on the first rung of the ladder to becoming a Minimoto Blacksmith. His family take great honour from Nuan’s position and he is fully committed to progressing through the ranks. The first step is to master one’s fear for the molten metals they so revere. The impure metals and slag are literally hurled at opponents or cleverly manipulated to create cover for the advancing Minimoto by launching clouds of smoke and sparks into the air.

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.

The defence of the oldest temples and most sacred shrines is often entrusted to the great Oki Shisa. Mountains of ever watchful stone, still and silent for decades but always ready. None know how many Oki Shisa there are but these holy wardens are the bane of those who would attempt to manipulate their Ki against the Temple or hold sway over the land. The enchantments that gift the Shisa protection also imbue the stone with a keenness akin to a Masamune blade.

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.

The quiet and peaceful guardians of the mountains, Qimmiq is a healer, teacher and father to his people. Like all holy men amongst the hill tribes he lives on the outskirts of his village where he can be closest to the wild and listen to the spirits. He is knows the wild as if it were an extention of his own body, as such he knows the ancient uses for all the flora found in the hills, and is able to call on the spirits on the wild to aid him in times of conflict. Calling the roots of trees to bind invaders, or asking favours of the wind to buffet or blow as need requires.

A favourite of the temple elders and new initiates alike, Riku personifies what it means to be a Monk. His mastery over water allows him to achieve awe inspiring feats on the battlefield, creating walls of water out of the very air to hinder his opponents.

Kuma is the rock on which the water breaks the solid and resilient constant of the Temple. With Bo staff or claw he strikes out and floors foes with swift and brutal strikes. Despite his mass it is difficult to pin him down or outnumber him and with a practiced mediation Kuma can reach out to the roots of the earth to bind and hold firm those would overrun him.

The teachers and spiritual leaders of the Tengu, keepers and communers with the great Kami, Amaterasu, Fujin, Raijin and of course the great spirit of the Mountain Rokan. Though small in stature the Koroko of the Tengu hold great responsibility within the ranks of the Tengu. Ryuhobo, like all Koroko holds a special bond with his brothers and sisters such is their attunement. A skilled healer and with hand and prayer. If the Kurama are the swift blades of the Tengu, the Koroko are its soul.

If the Koroko are the soul and heart of the Tengu then the Karasu are the mind. In the Chamber of the Sun the Karasu study the texts written in an age immemorial, learning the secrets of the Kami and how to command them. This has led to a tense relationship with the Koroko who see the use of this knowledge as dangerous. Sanjakubo is an adept Shugenja able to invoke and harness Raijin’s fury against the enemy, or through the use of ancient lore curse them.

Like all monks of the Temple of Ro-Kan, Seiji is following a path and element that he was always destined to. Still in the early years of his training this calm and relaxed monk is already showing signs that he will become a great defender of the Jwar Isles, and an asset in the struggle against the chaos. It is told that Seiji sat under the Grand Father tree for a full cycle in meditation, quietly becoming as one with the forest around him and in a deep communion with the sacred Kami. The secrets he learned now enable Seiji to seek out the help of the natural world around him, it comes to his and the Temple’s aid. Enemies find themselves rooted to the spot, held firm as they are bound and restrained by the very ground itself. Along with this ability Seiji has also achieved a higher level of understanding and attunement with his own body, enabling him to focus his energies and recover from even the most severe of wounds at an astounding rate.

The guardians of the temples, these silent sentinels have stood for eons outside many a shrine or holy place. Now with the realised threat of another wave they have been reanimated from their long slumber. Always fighting in pairs, the links between the two run right to the very core of their being. In this time of strife, the return of the Shisa is a timely relief.

Suchiro, is the embodiment of determination and persistence. With a goal or objective in his mind nothing can stop this quiet and thoughtful monk from reaching it. In battle he fights resolutely, anchoring the forces of the Temple and proving to be an unbreakable bastion for the defenders of Jwar. Many strive to understand the riddles of the Kami of Chikyu’s Rock but this monk of the Temple of Ro-Kan has and in doing so brought the teaching to bear on those that would seek to upset the balance. Suchiro’s wrath may not be quick but like the mountains and earth it is inevitable.

When he was younger, Taiki was a light-fingered miscreant with a heart of gold and a taste for anything cooling on the kitchen window. Pies, rice cakes, and sweet treats were his pilferage of choice that he would then dutifully dole out to all the other wayward children too. He grew up hard in a myriad of villages nestled in the Ro-Kan Mountains. Taiki was never selected to join the Temple of Ro-Kan, but his eyes never left the monks when they trained, and between what he watched and practised and tousling with the other village children, he adapted a fighting style all of his own. Niseru, his now stalwart companion, also had a spurious approach to what was his and what belonged to other people. His penchant ran to fermented apples that would get him tipsy, as well as being able to open a sake bottle or a beer keg. But when they teamed up? They became a tsunami of almost unstoppable thievery. Were it not for the way they defend the village and the villagers from attack and unwanted aggression, this mischievous pair would have fallen foul of the local militia long ago. But the two are inseparable, and the villagers have grown fond of them, even learning to turn a blind eye when a meal or a drink magically disappear.

Taiki’s Ape Ki Feat requires a friendly Monk model for Taiki to watch and copy as best he can. This allows you to break the activation order, take TWO activations in a row, and give Taiki additional melee options. Taiki also brings Event-Trap cards to Temple’s Monk themes for the first time. When paired with Niseru, Simian Trickery allows for a wide range of tactical plays that keep your opponent guessing where these models will attack by spreading out then using the feat to outnumber the enemy suddenly. Niseru is more of an annoyance than a combatant, but the negation of Surprise can be a real boon, especially with the recent release of the Shiho. Changing Special Attacks from 0 cost to 1 is a real worry for specific lists; those Takashi now have to pay for Critical Attack!

Taliriktug is as strong and rugged as the mountains he calls home. With his ancestral axe, crafted to last generations, none can resist his wide and arcing blows, felling opponents unable to the block his furious onslaught.
