Clans

At its most basic, a Clan is a noble family overseeing an area of countryside and the peasantry that lives within its borders. Not all members of the Clan are related by blood (in fact that vast majority are not), but all are united by a sense of identity and a general outlook on life. While the smallfolk and farmers generally have little say in such things (they just live here), the gentry shape the culture of their Clan's holdings.

The Great Clans
Each of the Great Clans is led by a Daimyo and forms some facet of civilization within the greater realm of Kumiumi.

The Minor Clans
The Minor Clans, while being less influential than their Great Clan siblings, are more than mere vassal families. Many maintain close alliances with a Great Clan, and they all have a "daimyo" of their own, though not always of the Exalted variety.

Monastic Temples
While most monks have retreated from worldly concerns, some take their teachings on the road, whether to seek enlightenment or in an attempt to spread it.
