Each of the Clans has their own traditions. Small boats leave the Aranami ships, to sail forevermore. The Funkazan use fire, the Yasei let nature take its hold, the Kioku have their sacred vaults. No matter the form, the triumphant dead of each Clan know that they will be honored.
But there are others who deserve remembrance. The history of Ikaiguchi is filled with the legends of ronin, samurai who claim no affiliation to the clans or the throne, masterless and often disgraced. Though often robbers or outlaws, some few ronin have risen to being heroes in their own right: even the legendary Benjiro Sorano, the first emperor, was once one.
The rumors persist, claiming those who follow the outcast path have their own burial ground, a place where they will be united in death. This is Eiyūbochi, the ronin’s graveyard, watched by the Blind Brothers. Though in truth many ronin are left to die where they stood, the promise of Eiyūbochi reassures some that, at their end, they will have some honor.
