Kasshin Clan

The Clan of Kasshin takes in and trains many people from all walks of life.

Dozens, even hundreds, of people arrive at the secretive training center to undergo the Kasshin's vigorous training regime. Some students are as young as children while others are wizened old men seeking new knowledge. The Kasshin do not turn any away.

Those who are lucky enough to be taken under the wing of the Kasshin spend their initial years of training attempting to discover their true aptitude in life, be it mastery with the spear or mastery with the pen. The Kasshin do not believe that one discipline is greater than another. The only thing that matters is the student and since each student is different, it is obvious that they will master different disciplines at a different pace.

Once a student has decided to pursue a particular path in life, the Kasshin will train the student to perfect that chosen discipline. The Kasshin believe that there is little pride to be found at being merely good at everything. Instead, it is their goal to achieve utter perfection in one field.

At any point during their stay, a student can leave the school. The only payment the Kasshin demand is that all students take the name of Kasshin and that once every year the will to the center for a week and reports on what the year has taught them.

Hundreds of people have been trained by the Kasshin. If two nobles share the name of Kasshin, it does not mean that they are related by blood, nor does it mean that they are know or recognize each other. They may be friends, strangers or even enemies. It does not matter. The Kasshin teach knowledge not morals, ethics or views. That is up to the individual student.
