The 6 Clans

The 6 clans are a confederation of the 6 most powerful family and clans in Borsu. together they basically run the nation, anything the empire doesn't control or determine, they do. They are also split into 6 different colours for everyone to easily identify who they are and who the belong tom its more a symbol of status.

The 6 clans are as follows,


 * 1) Hirotoshi- White - The Hirotoshi have held the seat of the shogunate in Shing for generation, They are the powerful clan with a vast amount of wealth, and knowledge. The people of Borsu also adore them due to their grace and faithfulness to whats important to the people of the realm.
 * 2) Dara - Pink - The Dara clan can be quite strange, half the time they are present but the other half they seem to be somewhere else. They often go out on pilgrimages and think everything they do must be part of a bigger plan or have a higher meaning. You'll find a lot of the Dara clan in Mistbougher as it has a very spiritual and otherworldly feeling.
 * 3) Koshiro - Red, the Koshiro can are often fiery and passionate. Very skilled fighters, they are headstrong and loyal to Borsu and not so much the empire. They are also very sympathetic and generous, often helping out wherever needed. Most Famously Tadashi Koshiro was from the clan. The NAME have been in the leaders of Tengtou since the Zou's were overthrown. The Koshiro and the Wu's have a very strong alliance.
 * 4) Song-Jin - Blue - the Song-Jin's are often perceived to be the most methodical and strategic, they take their time and think about their actions and believe cool heads prevail. They often bump heads with the Saito's due to their brash and erratic ways. They have been given the task of keeping Wallwater a stable region as the town is split between Borsu and Oxand.
 * 5) Kato - Purple - You wont see a lot of the Kato clan together, they are mostly nomads that roam the realm. The often come across more as individuals each with their own task and live life their own way than a clan and only come together if it's important and a necessity.
 * 6) Saito - Yellow - The Tans are heavily religious and would do anything for their deity, sometimes they can go a bit too far and seem fanatical. They are also the most recent Clan to be accepted into the 6 and sometimes dont quite understand that they need to work with the other 5 in certain situations.

It hasn't always been these 6 family however. Some slowly die out, some are exiled and others are over thrown. A list of powerful family that use to be in the six clans are The Fangs (Exiled), Zou (Overthrown in the war of the 6 kings), Cobways (Slowly died out due to lack of leaders) and Dawnwater (All assassinated and overthrown by the Tans) Oshi (Tried to overthrow the other 5 clans)
