Sentinels of the East (Revived and Revised)

The Sentinels of the East





"Warriors of great reknown wander the lands to the East of Lordran, masterless, honourless, purposeless."
Tenshi Mikawa Mino


"Sometimes the truest and most noble of paths is the one most soaked in blood while the least noble is the path of pacifism. I aim to travel between both of these paths where I can be both the noble warrior and ignoble peasant, or neither at all."
Kenshin Akira, author of the Book of the Conservative Soul


"Faith is my strength; my faith is my hammer"
Tzu Khan, High Monk of Kikyohama Shrine


The Sentinels of the East were tasked in ages past with protecting the realms of the East from without and within acting as the eyes and ears of the various Feudal Lords and religious leaders.


While many warriors, agents, and holymen wander the lands of the East only the finest ever make it into the ranks of the Sentinels. These honourable souls have fought on every concievable field imagineable from the plains of Astora, shadowy alleys of old Carim, to the realms of the Chaos Demon's themselves.


These masters in thier chosen fields value honour and loyalty above all else and are dedicated to their lords cause, and while they may act indepently at times retain thier ties to the brotherhood that joins them all.


"Serve well, obey well, bring honour to youself and your master"
Toshiyuki Matsudaira


Cause- To bring honour to ourselves and our lords through the protection of our lands be it through the honourable duels of the Samurai, the secret agency of the Ninja, or the spreading of the Word as a Monk.

The Armoury




This is where we keep track of our members Honour and also their Builds
Its is also where you will find which items, weapons, and armours each of the three classes are able to make use of.


The Tenshi
The samurai, or Tenshi, are the front line warriors of the Sentinels composing the greater bulk of our forces. These soldiers are master with thier chosen weapons and proficient in the use of all others. Armed and armoured in the traditional fighting style of the East these men fight primarily with Katana, Yari (spears), Yume (bows), and some times even the No-Daichi (Murakumo) and rarely ever make use of shields.
Available Weapons:
Katanas- Uchigatana, Iaito, Chaos Blade, Washing Pole
Spears: Winged Spear, Silver Knight Spear, Pike, Dragonslayer Spear.
Bows: Long Bow, Black Bow of Pharis, Dragonslayer Bow, Darkmoon Bow.
Large Swords: Murakumo
Shield (if necessary)- Iron Round Shield, Wooden Shield, Eagle Shield, Target Shield


The Shinobi
The Shinobi are the elite special forces of the Sentinels combining weapons mastery with special tactics, stealth, magic, and pyromancy. While the Tenshi are designed to fight up close and in the open the Ninja strike from the shadows annhilating targets as quicky and efficiently as possible. The Shinobi act as the Sentinel's eyes and ears, and from time to time the hand that carries the knife, both in game and in the forums. The Shinobi also subscribe to the traditional practices of thier schools and do not make use of shields.
Available Weapons
Katana- Uchigatana, Iaito, Chaos Blade
Spears: None
Bows: Short Bow, Long Bow, Black Bow of Pharis, Darkmoon Bow, Light Crossbow, Heavy Crossbow, Sniper Crossbow, Avelyn.

The Onmyoji
These wandering priests and monks are agents and provocatuers in the extreme whose unyielding faith is essential in spreading the Word. While these monks take vows not to do unneccessary violence when provoked they wield massive sword and clubs to as to bring death to the unbelievers. Combined with therr knowledge of pryomancies and miracles they make a terrifying foe to face on the field of battle.
Katanas: None
Spears/ Polearms- Scythe
Bows: Long Bow, Blackbow of Pharis, DragonSlayer Bow
Large Swords: Murakumo, Server
Tetsubo- Large Club, Great Club, Dragon Tooth, Grant











Honour
Honour is the system by which the Sentinels rank and regard one another, those with the greatest Honour being afforded the most resepct while those without living in shame or dishonour. Honour is no simple concept that can be bought through offerings of Covenant items, Honour must be earnt throgh duty, loyalty, and sacrifice.


"There is no such thing as death or the afterlife in my mind, only honour and dishonour. How I will be remembered after I die?"


Honour Ranking System


There are ten steps to attaining eternal Honour and living on in history as either a villain or a hero. A true Sentinel does not differentiate only seeks to create a legacy for his or her self that shall be remembered long after Lordran empties. While some tests are open to all covenant members others are specific to class or open to being accepted at member discression. Thus a Sentinel should only ever be able to complete 5 aspects of the Path to Honour
