Samurai Rank System

By:
Kuseru Satsujin

A system for samurai ranks. Still having trouble with the output of this one.

Note, while based on historical titles, this particular system was never historically employed in Japan, the titles deriving from a combination of several clan-based internal hierarchies.

Koyakunin - Gate guard.

Nakakosho - Groom and/or stableman.

Tomokosho - Personal attendant.

Rusuigumi - Junior attendant.

Koshogumi - Senior attendant.

Umamawari - Third rank retainer (has the right to wear two swords).

Churo - Second rank retainer (has the right to wear two swords, and ride horse in war).

Koshogumi - First rank retainer (has the right to wear two swords, and rid horse in war & peace).

Gokenin - Household Vassal (Hatamoto - Banner Knight (Karo - Elder Councilor.

Mujo Daimyo - Lords without a castle and with a yearly income between 10,000-20,000 koku.

Joshu Daimyo - Lord of a castle.

Jun-kokushu (Tozama) Daimyo - Lords with Kunimochi-nami (Fudai) Daimyo - Lords with Kokushu (Tozama) Daimyo - Provincial lords with 100,000+ koku.

Kunimochi (Fudai) Daimyo - Provincial lords with 100,000+ koku.

Shinpan Daimyo - Lords who are relatives of the shogun.

Shogun - Generalissimo, in charge of the entire military of Japan.

This listing does not jive with my experience with this order. Still it give a passible ordering for inspiration for other things.

So this is entirely made up?

Magic is like alcohol, the more that is used, the more it causes a hangover later on and the less judgement one has when using it. If one waits a while after casting a spell, things "detoxify." A cantrip or two is like a sip of weak beer, whilst a large creation spell is like a bottle of vodka. Cast something too big and you can die from magic intoxication.
