Tsuruchi's Legion

Tsuruchi's Legion was founded by Tsuruchi himself, and all Tsuruchi aspire to become a member, and only by being a magistrate and a member of the Tsuruchi family will someone become a legionaire. The legionaires scour the Empire in small groups doing the "small" jobs of a magistrate, be it arbitrate a dispute between two farmers or tracking down a bandit. They take great pride in acting proper, and have been known to speak with member of the Kitsuki family about their methods of investigation and justice. (Samurai p. 51)
