So I was destined to be a fan of this Jade Regent Adventure Path. Still, I find the superficial differences between each of these pairs to be super cool, and sometimes I want to be a samurai instead of a cavalier. T risk of drawing fire, I confess that I don’t see a vast difference between the rogue and ninja, the cavalier and samurai, or the bastard sword and katana.

Among these are the raccoonlike tanuki, jolly and clever creatures equally as likely to wander the world in search of new experiences as they are to make someplace their home and enjoy its comforts. Some exist merely to exist, taking delight in life and all the pleasures the world has to offer while simultaneously accepting it as it is. And in still others, these ancient beings yet watch over their people, guarding those with the faith to see past the veils of time.ĭeserving of Honor Not all the creatures spoken of in the tales of Minkai are as ferocious as the dreaded oni or as protective as the mysterious kami. In others, evidence of wondrous deeds remains. In some places, these figures are merely legends and fairy tales told to children. From the legendary past rise monuments depicting fantastic heroes and strange beings, personages none now living can prove ever truly existed-yet who are believed in all the same. Living Legendry In many of the nations and regions that collectively make up the land of Tian Xia, histories stretch back to points so ancient that the distinction between fact and myth blurs.
