Kenru family

The Kenru family was a vassal family of the Kaiu family of the Crab Clan.

Founding
Kaiu Kenru was a legendary armourer of the twelfth century who was granted a vassal family under the Kaiu for his talents. His family guards his secrets jealously.

Duties
The Kenru were a Juhin-Kenzoku, a quartermaster or forgery family, of the Crab Clan. A suit of ō-yoroi, which translates as great armour, forged by the Kenru took twice as long to create, but lasted five times longer than a regular suit of armour.
