The uraga shinobi are masters of assassination and illusion. Though they might be considered hedge magi by the uraga nobles they are considered some of the best warriors and slayers from their culture and even the most magically powerful amongst the uraga fear to openly mock these masters of assassination. The ones who live in the northeast have created whole societies of ninja and act as mercenaries for high paying aristocrats, khans, shoguns, emperors, daimyos and so forth. They appear as most uraga do, as reptilian humanoids with snake features but they generally prefer to disguise themselves as wise masters of martial arts, humble monks, small children, villager merchants or even simple animals like pigs, geese, dogs and so forth. |
