Protector of the Imperial City

Protector of the Imperial City was a position created centuries ago. The position was a appointed to a single man who would be a special adjunct to the Emerald Champion. The duty of the Protector was to oversee the Imperial guards and legionnaires responsible for the safety of the then capital Otosan Uchi and now Toshi Ranbo. The position had fallen into disuse through time, although an attempt at reviving it was made by the courtier Ikoma Sume for his nephew Ikoma Otemi. When the Emperor went on his search for enlightenment however the Shogun move his force into the Imperial City to "better protect it". The Empress Toturi Kurako did not trust the Shogun Kaneka, and declared that the position shall be resurrected. While the necessity of the position is questioned by some there are no-one willing to pass up the opportunity to gain the Empress' favor, and therefore have laid their support behind one of the four candidates the Empress has nominated. 

Candidates

 * Akodo Kobi
 * Bayushi Norachai
 * Hida Sakamoto
 * Shinjo Shuilong
