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. They are:

• Inam Niu
• Ruki Nü
• Mite Xu
• Hatsu Shi
• Nama Bi
