Notable Members

Hien Rijin

Son of Kaien and Mina, current heir to the throne of Doma, and recognized as it's de-facto ruler.

Kaien Rijin

43rd King of Doma, father of Hien, husband of Mina Rijin. Surrendered to invading Garleans in 1552 to avoid further bloodshed.
Following his surrender, Lord Kaien was initially made "Deputy Viceroy" of Doma by the Garleans, who hoped that this action would better allow them to keep the newly-conquered populace under control. In truth however, Kaien was working with the resistance and the Liberation Front to coordinate their activities. After two decades of planning, amidst the chaos of the Garlean War of Succession, Lord Kaien and the resistance staged an uprising against their Garlean occupiers. Although they were able to temporarily retake Doma Castle, it wasn't long before the castle was retaken by Zenos yae Galvus in a crushing defeat that crippled the Doman Resistance for some time. This event would result in Kaien's death; although it is unclear if he made this plan before his defeat, or while in captivity awaiting execution, Kaien's final act was to send his son into hiding, hoping that he would be able to save their kingdom someday.

Seien Rijin

A young ruler who caused a long period of unrest for Doma. Overthrown by his brother Shoen in year 1280.
Upon becoming king, Seien used the funds available to him simply to indulge in his many vices, bringing the kingdom to the brink of financial ruin, to the point where he had to turn to the merchant guilds for more coin. And when they came to collect, instead of paying up, he simply increased taxes more and more.

Shoen Rijin

Came to power in year 1280 of the Sixth Astral era, after leading a successful rebellion against his brother Seien. Said to be just, fair, and level-headed. Having been sought out and then supported in his rebellion by Sasuke Kagekakushi, he then begs Sasuke to remain in Doma as a check against tyranny, leading to the founding of Shinobi-no-Sato.

Ganen Rijin

Founded the nation of Doma in year 777 of the Sixth Astral Era

Ganen Rijin is a powerful historical figure who rose above his station and built the kingdom of Doma. He was a wise and powerful leader, who was known for being merciful and kind. He was a master of Geomancy and worked hard to unite the peoples of Yanxia under a single banner.

At the tender age of fourteen, Ganen's father, the leader of his clan, died in battle, passing the mantle to his son. Knowing they would be vulnerable to attack now that their leader was a young child, he devised a plan; Should they be attacked by a rival clan, they should flee into the marshlands, where their armor would weigh them down in the mire. Following this, archers would rain arrows down upon them, defeating them.

As he grew older, he became a wise and merciful leader. He learned the arts of Geomancy and used his powers to defeat his foes, showing them mercy, earning their respect. He would allow any and all to join his ranks, so long as they were possessed of skill and intelligence. After twenty years, Ganen came to control the East Bank, which the clans of the West Bank saw as a threat, and engaged in military operations. The battle raged for over eight years, but the tides were turned in Ganen's favor after he employed the use of Namazu spies. Under a singular banner, the kingdom of Doma came to be.
