Suzaku of the South

[Toku Shokami]

Bear with me, as this is a work in progress. The Gunso are free to add anything that will be squad specific.

"Fire Cleanses all Sin"
We are the backbone of the Legion. Without us, there would be no need for the others. Scouting Reports would be useless without our soldiers to make use of them, the Shugenja would be left vulnerable, as would the Administration Company. We are the sword, and the armor of the Legion. As the purest form of samurai, we are all expected to be an example for the rest of the Legion.  We have lost many brothers and sisters on the feild of battle, and our continued service is in their name. The Following is a list of rules given to each member of the company, to be distributed by the gunso of each squad.

Rules and Regulations

1. Physical Training is paramount, for an unfit soldier is a burden to the rest of the Company. The type of training will be the purview of the squad Gunso, save for every third day, which will involve a Company Run, as well as any training the Chui sees fit. The Chui will start with 1st Squad and 2nd Squad at day three and rotate.

2. Mandatory weapons and armor maintenance will be followed. Gunso shall ensure that their squad is fit for combat, any issues resolving weapons or armor shall be immediately reported to an officer, and the officer shall inform the Chui.

3. No drinking 8 hours before duty.

4. Watch and patrols will be instituted. More information on this topic will be forthcoming.

5. Conduct unbecoming of a samurai shall be punished by public whipping. The number of lashes shall depend on the severity of the offence. Officers shall receive double the punishment of a hohei, due to the expectations and trust placed upon them. Abuse of the term "Conduct Unbecoming" shall also be punished.

6. The Chui will receive reports from the Gunso at the start of each day. Go through the chain of command. If the nikutai cannot assist you, go to the Gunso, if the Gunso cannot assist you, both you and the Gunso shall go to the Chui.
Duels within the Company are to be brought to the Chui to ask permission. Illegal duels will be punished under the Conduct Unbecoming clause.

7. Do not harass the commoners. We are guests in the Dragon lands, and you are expected to act like guests. 


First Squad shall bear the burden of our Heavy Infantry. Second will be our fleetest of foot, and harriers. Third will be our masters of cavalry, and the fourth shall be our reserve squad, as well as our archers.
