Shajin Army

The Shajin army is the main fighting force of the entire Shajin clan, entrusted by a code of honour to fight when needed. The army was established in 1460 when the Shajin clan couldn't depend on feudal lords to send troops, thus they formed the Shajin army to be used for all members of the Shajin clan. In 1500, the numbers of volunteers started to dwindle to the point they requested feudal lords to send in soldiers to join their ranks, which was one of the reasons many rebellions occurred from within.

Public Agenda

Their main agenda is to provide security for the main Shajin clan family members and be called upon the wage war against foreign clans. In peacetime, they are meant to garrison certain strongpoints where other clans wouldn't dare to spare men for, making them the main fighting force in all of the clan's domain.

Assets

Their main fighting assets is a blue-tinted lamellar armour encasing them from head to toe, a massive spear for charging and steel katanas for close quarters, while their ranged units carry a large longbow. Their cavalry force contains thousands of horses, enough to ride down an entire army - if it was unprepared - which is considered the most vital part of the Shajin army, as it was with cavalry that they managed to defeat so many clans before they joined their enemies.
