Editing Clans of the Okubo (Polesia) (section)

==Kani Clan==
蟹
The defenders

The staunch and hardy defenders of the Banrin passes, the samurai of the Kani form the primary guard between the darkness of Leng and the rest of the empire. With comparatively little concern for courtly manners, the Kani are seen as grim, tough, and crude brutes. While this is a stereotype, it's not always inaccurate. 
The Kani revel in combat, and their shrewd, battle-hardened sensibilities grant them a reputation of formidability. Their contribution to the empire is one of the most vital: the sequestering of the plateau of Leng.


===Appearance===

The Kani clan is most commonly identified with a blue-gray color, often mixed with reds, blacks, and browns. Their emblem is the symbol of the crab.
They prefer functional armor and weapons. Often appearing casual compared to the finer clothing of their peers, the Kani are nothing if not intimidating.

===Combat===
The Kani prefer strong blows, heavy weapons, and merciless tenacity. The finer combat arts, the crab know, aren't always most effective against the monstrosities beyond the wall. A tetsubo, (a heavy wooden bat covered in iron studs) however, says more to monsters than an elegant blade routine.
