Demon Hunters
Anyone can call herself a demon hunter, but it is usually quite simple
to distinguish real demon hunters from those that only call themselves one. Experienced
demon hunters are well respected because simply surviving as one requires
considerable skill. In addition to private demon hunting groups, Tentaika also
has two large organizations that specialize in demon hunting. These
organizations are Shinrinki Ranger Corps and Warrior Priestesses.
Shinrinki Ranger Corps is a military organization under Shinrinki Clan.
Their main job is to patrol Kuro no Mori and its border regions and thus
prevent demons from entering Tentaika from the north. Ranger Corps enlists
large amounts of rōnins and skilled peasants. Anyone who survives two years of
service in the Ranger Corps is allowed to serve Shinrinki Clan as a samurai,
this applies even to peasants. Unfortunately the mortality rate during these
two years is over fifty percent.
Warrior Priestesses are priestesses and priests who specialize in demon
hunting. Even though Warrior Priestesses are still technically speaking priests
and priestesses they are also taken into the samurai caste after their
graduation. Unlike people in Shinrinki Ranger Corps, Warrior Priestesses are
not a part of a military organization and they do not serve under any clan.
Exceptions to this are the Warrior Priestesses who serve in the city of
Genkaisha as they are a part of Genkaisha’s military.
See you next Sunday!
