Ardoris/Vermillion Bird
Template:Infobox The Ardoris guard serve and protect the entire shogunate, but operate out of Ardoris. They are led by Guard Captain Cugel, who has divided the guard into five corps:
- Azure Dragon
- Black Turtle
- Vermillion Bird
- White Tiger
- Yellow Dragon
Beliefs
The Vermillion Bird are perhaps the most strongly influenced by the teachings of Sequanna. They serve High Priestess Khasi directly, and thusly are currently at odds with Shogun Siranto. They try to practice benevolence in all things, showing compassion and decency to others in their interactions. Finn serves as the leader of this corps.
