Ancestral Hiruma



The Hiruma Bushi were trained in the Hiruma Dojo until the destrution of the Hiruma lands in 716, when everything, including the dojo was lost.

Last Student
The last surviving student of the Hiruma school, Hiruma Sokokai, died in 755. This marked the final loss of all the advanced techniques of the Hiruma family.

Reclaiming the Hiruma Lands
Until 1130 the lands of Hiruma were occupied by the Shadowlands and formal Hiruma training was done in a branch of the Shinjo school as its emphasises on stealth and observation techniques were very similar to that of the Hiruma.

Training


Hiruma Scouts undergo a series of rigorous preparations prior to entering the shadowlands; wards and sigils painted on their bodies. They are also issued jade talismans. Scouting rotation would last a week then they would have no less than four weeks to recuperate from the ordeal. The Hiruma Scouts are trained to flee threats, not fight. Reliable information is more important than death.
