The Xuan Wu Academy
Though an artificer almost without peer, Rivers Between Us' skills are only enhanced by having a staff of capable assistants to aid in his work. Further, as he occupies his mind with continually grander and more magnificent projects, he loses time to craft the more mundane wonders still necessary to his circle's operations or to perform the necessary maintenance on his complex magitek inventions. To meet all of these problems head-on, Cathak Nekuto created a new Training Protocol to teach five Marukani artisans the thaumaturgical skills they would need to be competent sorcerer-engineers. Since their training, they have been amalgamated to become crafters with Celestial puissance. They are:
- Inam Niu: "Stone Maiden", assigned to supervising manse construction.
- Ruki Nü: "Sky Captain", assigned to fleet maintenance and construction.
- Mite Xu: "The Bear", assigned to God Crossing.
- Hatsu Shi: "Walker", assigned to road construction.
- Nama Bi: "Silver Monkey", assigned to personal artifact construction and maintenance for the solars.
