Origins The Tenrai Haku Ryū, or Divine White Dragons, is the military arm of the Takeda bakufu. The Tenrai started out as the military forces of several clans, serving under the current Blood Dragon Shogunate. Becoming disillusioned with the dangerous and sometimes corrupt actions of the Shogunate and the plotters in the shadows controlling everything, the clans decided to leave the Shogunate and serve as an independent group. After approximately 1 month, an offer was received from an otherwise unknown bakufu, led by Takeda Shingen. The offer was simple: Join the Takeda bakufu and help restore Kusari to the strong house it should be.
Views The Takeda bakufu, and the Tenrai, have a view that the liberation of Kusari should be a Kusarian led fight, for the benefit of Kusarians. Foreign allies are welcome to help the fight, either directly through combat forces or indirectly though donation of supplies, credits and weapons. However, the bakufu takes a very dim view on outside parties waging war with each other in Kusari. A prime example of outside conflicts in Kusari is the longstanding conflict between the Order and the Outcast nation. The official stance of the bakufu is that foreign groups that openly fight with each other are unwelcome in Kusari unless they repent and work only to assist the liberation efforts.
The bakufu views and treats men and women equally, and judges according to merit and ability. Organization and Ranks The bakufu is the entirety of the government, handling all of the relevant civil and administrative responsibilities in the name of the Sei-i Taishōgun. All laws and dictates are determined by the Taishōgun and his advisory council, comprising of the civil head officials and the commander of the military. The Tenrai is the military forces of the bakufu, comprising the fleet and marine units.
