Clan of the Bright Blade

The ‘birthright’ clan – they claim to be the original ‘ninja’ clan. This clan claims that they were an elite band of samurai who recognized that the war with Appollonia could not be won on the open battlefield. The original clan charter was to create a cabal so secretive that the parts knew nothing of each other and the ‘leader’ could be replaced at anytime. They were/are willing to do anything to achieve their mark which, many say, has contributed to the degeneration of their original morality. Sociologically speaking, the order died out hundreds of years ago and only the martial aspect of their training is left (see Ninjitsu). Despite their nobel background, none of the clans of the west sanctiedned the use of their tactics and any ninja discovered is subject to tht emost extreme penalties (usually tortured death). There is a long standing rumor, however, that the Church of Palanos has a clan dedicated to their purposes which would seem to contradict the teachings of Palanos and created a contradiction in their long standing penal efforts.​
