Akodo Commander School
Above all else, the Akodo War College's curriculum is focused on control: of one's weapons, of the battlefield, over the flow of conflict, and, ultimately, of oneself. Its students study the seminal advice of Akodo's Leadership, which was written by the Lion Clan Kami himself. In addition to training as warriors, Akodo Commanders are educated to be battlefield leaders, often treating war as a game of Go, to be decided by strategy and exact moves. Akodo Commanders all strike precisely and without hesitation, be it with a sword or an army. Their ultimate goal is to reach the pinnacle of the art of war: to minimize or eliminate losses while masterfully achieving their objectives.
