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

Every year, dozens, even hundreds, of people arrive at the secretive training center to undergo the Kasshin's vigorous training regime. Some students are 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 attempting to discover where their true aptitude lies, be it mastery with the spear or mastery with the pen. The Kasshin do not believe that one discipline is above another. The only thing that matters is the student and since each student is different, it is obvious that they will master different disciplines.

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 in 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 they will return to the center for a week and report on what the year has taught them. Some of the more successful students tend to send a bit of gold back to the Kasshin as a token of their graditude.

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 know or will recognize each other. They may be friends, strangers or even enemies. It does not matter. The Kasshin teach knowledge. Morals, ethics or opinions are to be formed by the individual student.

Loran

Loran had a less than noteworthy time with the Kasshin. One of those students who found himself excelling at nothing, the Kasshin provided with a well rounded education, assuring him that while aptitude and mastery were important, knowledge was just as critical.

Loran found himself in Atamara fighting for the Cagilan Empire. Atamara was a land of eternal warfare. Forever did he find himself fighting. The daily grind of marching towards the battlefield, seeing his men get slaughtered and marching back to the capital to recruit yet more weighed on Loran's mind. Nothing was gained through the wars. It seemed that the wars were just fought for the sake of war. In the end, he found himself too jaded to continue.

Leaving Atamara, he began a search for greater meaning in his life. He found himself in Fronen and sought out the Path of the Great Dragon.

Shani

Shani has from a tender young age shown uncanny expertise with the blade. The Kasshin's greatest weaponmasters trained him in almost every sword technique known to them. As Shani grew older and more proficient with the blade, he bade farewell to his masters and began to travel the world. His defining purpose in life was to become a the great blademaster the Kasshin and the world had ever known.

His journeys led himself to the Far East and the realm of the Antoza Commonwealth. He spent a great deal of time training with the swordmasters of that continent. Several years passed and he realized that his growth had stagnated. He was not learning anything anymore and he realized that his time on the Far East was at an end.

He travelled to Beluaterra and sought out the Churgh of Qyrvagg. The followers of Qyrvagg encouraged battle and duels. He joined the realm of Riombara, the home of Qyrvaggism.

Quattro

Quattro was trained as a leader of men during his time with the Kasshin. The art of motivation, the belief in discipline and the skill of communication were taught to him from an early age.

Believing that he was destined to be a great military commander, he journeyed to young realm Nighthelm in the Far East, a realm which celebrated military prowess. His years with Nighthelm were more than eventful. He experienced Rebellion, war, liberation, near catastrophe, painful defeat and sublime victory within his few short years. He was even appointed High Marshal of the realm.

However, Quattro soon realized that in this realm of great military minds, he was but a simpleton. While certainly competent, he was not able to rank himself as the best strategist or the best military commander. He reconsidered his options and decided to give the post of High Marshal to another more deserving warrior.

His tenure as the Duke of Hatdhes gave him an elightening experience. He realized that his skills learned with the Kasshin also applied in motivating the citizenry. He found himself working alongside the civil servants, helping them organize the daily administration of the city. His powerful sense of discipline and justice helped him hold fair and just courts. Quattro realized that he was not a military leader but a leader of the people.

Due to his skills, he was elected as the Arch Priest of Nighthelm and appointed the Duke of Masahakon, the capital of Nighthelm. He is also a long standing member of Nighthelm's Senate.
