Matsu Elite Guard

The structure of Shiro Matsu has long been the largest and most heavily defended fortress between Lion and Scorpion lands. Standing between the Scorpion and the majority of Lion lands it is a very high priority, and some say the Matsu family select only the most vigilant, dedicated and vicious samurai to defend it. Those chosen for this position have pledged to give their lives to kill any intruder who dares to enter the gates without permission. (Samurai p. 45)
