Human potential / absolute allegiance
The Hundred Thousand
A warrior sect dedicated to humanity’s protection and its next stage of evolution. The mission is greater than the person.
Power from within
Their abilities draw on the potential for godhood buried within humanity. Discipline develops that potential into action. Belief supports the practice, but it is not the same path as the Blessed’s focused cultivation of conviction.
The Stronghold and the journey
The Stronghold trains warriors who enter the world as Nameless on their Shugyosha. The Style Assassins represent an advanced path of mastery. Nameless and Style Assassins belong within the Hundred Thousand; they are not unrelated factions.
Freedom beneath an absolute duty
A Nameless can make personal alliances, take work, and even come into conflict with another Nameless. An order from the Stronghold overrides those arrangements. No competing allegiance—to a faction, a deity, or a separate doctrine—can stand above the mission.
Taking the fight to the threat
They pursue the beings that prey on humanity. Unlike the Blessed’s preference for securing potential victims first, the Hundred Thousand may accept grave risks to individuals in order to stop a larger threat.
