tabLocated on the edge of the seawall, Belvoir serves as the Customs House and Private residence for the “Shukun”. Constructed to be a formidable force on the ocean and skies, it is equipped with a sea-facing watchtower and marina. The inner fortress is quite forcibly a labyrinth, made to confuse and pincer enemies that may enter the fortress. Walkways between the walls are eight feet wide made to give those whom aren't familiar with the fortress a sense of claustrophobia
Through the inner labyrinth in the center is the watchtower, made to extend sight over the walls and out to the ocean. Below it are the barracks, home to the Elite Valkyrie and their Captian. The watchtower has a spiral staircase through to the open top so that Valkyrie dispatched may fly through the tower and into the sky (if need be).
Contained in the lower levels is the personal residence of the Shukun, Sheva. Equipped with a personal forge, workshop, tatami room, study room and clan chambers. The treasury on the other hand is partially built underwater and the only access is through the personal residence of Sheva. The grandmaster armorsmith and veteran machinist wired traps throughout the fortress and personal residence. In the case that invaders were to succeed and Sheva was forced to leave the Fortress; with a string of handsigns Sheva activates a trap within that has horrific effects. The walls facing the ocean crumble allowing the pushed back sea to reclaim its property. This washes all the contents of the treasury and any sensitive documents out to sea.

Specific Perks: • Honorable Guard: You have one of your squadmates appear from the shadows to block an attack aimed at you. This defense is small scale and cannot perform any block which would retaliate by attacking the opponent.

This defense is treated as having overwhelming properties. This can be used once every three post. Stats are irrelevant in this collision. • United Strike: You can have your squad korabo one of your ninjutsu based attacks.

• ►Exit to Castle Belvoir w/ Tomeo
Sheva stopped and hovered for a moment, letting Tomeo hang in the air for a moment above Belvoir “ This is Castle Belvoir, Home to the Valkyrie. “ She looked back at Tomeo as they slowly descended to the ground, she was happy that the castle had been built with the speed that it had. She knew that she left in such a hurry before… she hadn’t gotten a real chance to look at the view that afforded to her sitting on the edge of the ocean. She gave Tomeo a thumbs up as they landed on the security of the ground.
“ Sorry for hijacking you. Sometimes things cannot be explained, rather seeing them is preferable. “ She looked towards Belvoir and smiled “ Five years ago, there was a massive war. “ She looked at her hands and gripped them together “ The villages could have cared less for the smaller lesser villages underneath them. More and more people died, and the shinobi did nothing but hunt for their own gains.”
She turned back to Tomeo and walked to her, standing in front of her “ I abandoned my village to protect those who could not defend themselves. “
“ After that, I was broken after seeing through the Veil into the home of demons, paranoia consumed me. I made every effort to console myself, denied myself the reality… this was the fault of a mad man. “
Shevas expression grew from passionate to angry “ I knew that something had to be done, while everything went back to normal; I remained broken. Then it came to me:” She turned and looked up as if she was being embraced by the wind itself “ I do not know what it was, but it revealed my purpose. “
She turned back to Tomeo “ I am the Valkyrie Sheva, Chooser of the Slain and Leader of the Inquisition. “
•The picture is a rough idea on her appearance, due to her bloodline her appearance has some drastic differences than normal people, key ones being as followed: • Black sclera, yellow iris, slit pupil when they contract • Her skin is notably light blue • she has stitches at each wrist, ankle, upper forearm just below and just about the elbow and shoulders, around her neck, and slits stems from her mouth but are skillfully sewn shut and the threads and slit is hidden by makeup. • looks perpetually tired with bags under her eyes (not really important but mentionable. • X stitches on her back • her canines are slightly bigger, longer and sharper along with the teeth behind them.

As they skimmed along at mark able speeds, Tomoe only just then beginning to notice the chill of flight, although it didn’t bother her much it was still not the most favourable temperature. Other than the slight chill, this whole flying business was awesome in Tomoes opinion, she spread her arms out like a bird when she felt she wasn’t being watched, the sensation and the scenery was fun, even if she felt a little guilt that she had some things she needed to deal with, she trusted going with this person would lead to said things getting sorted. Finally Sheva indicated to a large structure that Sheva referee to as Castle Belvoir, it’s appearance caused Tomoe to blink and double take the structure. It’s appearance was unlike any castle she’d seen in her life, she’d livedIn the lands of iron and as well as this side of continent and as a result had seen a good amount of castles/fortresses, places, forts and the like. ”This is where you ******** live,’s bloody grand like a palace huh?!?” She blurted out, gauging that this was the case, also that this woman might even be a higher up here.
Finally reaching a point where Tomoe was given the signal they were about to land, her feet suddenly found purchase on solid ground once again as if for the first time. It wasn’t like landing from a large drop or a jump, it was as if she was simply plopped down by an invisible force, which is essentially what actually happened. Both her legs shook beneath her and were weak, her entire body vibrating as she just came to realized that her body had been unconsciously slightly tensed up for the duration of their flight, which now her body could totally relax, it was having difficulty doing so as an invisible buzz ran through her as she looked out towards the castle then toward shiva with her black and yellow eyes. Stretching her arms before putting her katana across her back as she wasn’t wearing the type of pants she could get away with attaching them on and wasn’t up for re-donning her full plate just to do so before putting one gauntleted hand on each hip, the ocean air blowing her hair about as apologized for hijacking Tomoe and began to express what had brought them to this juncture.The woman spoke passionately and from the depths of her heart, pain, anger, regret, resentment, sorrow, memories of madness and more emotions leaked out as she spoke, most prominent of all during all of this was passion. The Great War of five years ago, Tomoe remembered that well, her first home after leaving the land of iron was one of the many casualties of that war and it had apparently been fuel by greed, selfishness and one maniacs ambition to wreck havoc(might remember my guild lore wrong there...). She walked up to Tomoe, anger replacing the passion as she spoke, expressing her desertion of her village and expressing the burden of the truths learned about the higher powers in the world and traumas she had been inflicted and mind scarred with as a result(if I’m interpreting things correctly) and the despair that many who come to similar sorts of epiphanies or have similar mental wounds might experience... Tomoe knew it, however from the opposite end of beginning as one of the people who suffered under said reigns, especially the old ways of Iron that had been changed as a result of the aforementioned war.
This gave Tomoe an idea to why she was here now, although didn’t interrupt the woman’s passionate words as if doing so would be disrespectful or inappropriate as in actuality it would be. That and the fact she tended to not interrupt her father and this woman currently sounded like he when he talked about his regrets and things he wished he could have done differently and generally advised Tomoe not copy him if in said scenarios. The difference was this woman hadn’t given up on making a big difference... not undermining her father and surrogate family who rescued her and make a big difference for her, this person seemed to have a problem with the worlds system and wanted something done about it.. in fact, these thoughts shifted into that this woman definitely intended to do something about it, as she turned, embraced by the wind as if caressed by some invisible cloak of air and presence, declaring her identity as if announcing it to the whole sky and earth before them and not just Tomoe herself, zeal, passion and power in the words as Tomoe stared almost awestruck by this Valkyrie as she so strong put it.
Tomoe swallowed and felt a little anxious now, she didn’t know how to react, she got that this person was willing to help the little guy; or look out for them. She did not know what an inquisition was but it sounded specific, an organization with a very specific purpose, combining that with her moniker mentioned just prior her title, it made her think of the Bakufu back in the old country. ”I think I understand a level of your intentions, you want to protect the weak who can’t protect themselves and have no shields in the form of a countries walls or military might or Something like that.... I’m guessing there’s more to it, you want to try and .... make them accou..accountable... I think that’s the right word? You’re interest in me then is.. is....IS that I’m from a place without the protection mentioned.... and you want to help me... and you want me to help you in return?” She said as she reached a hand behind her head and scratched, her brain working hard to piece together the information she had, her eyes flashing as she asked ”What does your Inquisition intend to do exactly Lady Sheva.?” Cleary interested and drawn into the woman’s words, using a polite title like she’d been taught when speaking to someone respect worthy and Tomoe respected the woman’s fire and intensity that surrounded care and concern for the weak.

Sheva laughed and hooked her arm with Tomeo “ Lady Sheva, I like that. But, you can call me just Sheva or sister. “ A few guards emerged from the Castle and watched them, though they knew who Sheva was; the castle was in high alert. They just stood there and stared at them, their observance made Sheva smile “ The Inquisition is about gaining personal power to protect those who need it the most. “ She walked towards the gates and waved at the women standing guard.
“ The Inquisition isn’t about growing into a Village, we are putting villages on notice. “ They slowly walked and Sheva admired the Castle herself “ We are about accountability if the Villages are going to raise and foster dangerous shinobi… they have to be held accountable. “
Her excitement grew as they drew closer to the Gates “ I have a feeling that you’ll like it here, we are all sisters here, we learn and grow from each other. “

Tomoe grinned a little when Sheva laughed, it was good to see she hadn’t gotten lost in the heavy emotions she was displaying which meant she had a good handle of herself, Ryuta would have drunk or gone quiet for a while whenever thinking of his regrets. The grin ended when Sheva did something Tomoe wasn’t accustomed to nor particularly comfortable with, which was being touched unnecessarily outside of training when she wasn’t familiar with the woman. Her uncles were quite familiar with her discomfort over her body and appearance even though she had some fun with it, she usually shoved them away after a few seconds contact, playfully but also because she was not comfortable with it being prolonged, her aunt Kyoko and Her father were the only ones who could get away with this sort of thing without getting smacked, unless it was training which she aimed to ignore such ticks. Tomoe tensed up slightly like she normally would but instead of getting angry she got a little embarrassed and meeker, as normally worrying about her personal space was resigned for family or drunks as they were the only ones they were normally willing to try and create contact, children too but she had no qualms about these issues with them... the issue here was Sheva was basically a stranger and treated her like other normal people treated one another.... it was weird but not in the same way as normal. She cleared her throat saying a little more meekly than she’d been speaking before ”Alright, Sheva it is.” The other reason for her anxiety was that they were going towards the the castle, despite the fact the guards expressions were due to being alert, analytical and focused, Tomoe couldn’t help feel that they were penetrating and judgemental.. looking down on her as it was much like her last experience in a similar local.. the other discomfort was the last time she entered a castle, she didn’t get to leave it’s outer walls for five or so years, and was understandably on edge as it grew bigger each step.
As the slowly drew ever nearer the entrance, Sheva speaking of their purpose, giving a wave to a guard after she’d finished that sentence. Tomoe nodded,,, not looking at Sheva as the woman guided her along, making a verbal noise to show she was paying attention and acknowledged what was being said. Now as they walked, Sheva expressing that the intention was not to replicate a village like system. Tomoe looking more toward Sheva as she spoke, the words were important to her, the woman was taking in the sight of her home as The words flowed. The villages were being put on notice, an aim to try and make them accountable for their actions and in regard to producing dangerous killers who defect and use said powers gained to trample on others... this was big and Tomoe relaxed and straightened up a little, if these were her goals and the environment and point how she was describing it to be, it was basically a total reversal.. she was experience a strange form of déjà vu, where all the experiences were inverted from unpleasant, hostile and wicked, to pleasant, nurturing and Caring.
There was but one thing that still stood as a gigantic hurdle, most likely to many people would come off as trivial and almost unrelated, however it came with the fact that the environment was described to be female exclusive and close knit/cooperative.... Tomoe was logistically speaking, awful at team play, abysmal even, she’d been trained by a bunch of hot headed ronin who were obsessed with being the coolest and most glorified of battle were to take place, secondly they were are competitive and argumentative over basically everything... these aspects infected Tomoe as a blessing and a curse. The even bigger thing though was the mainly female concept she was getting ”So.... there’s like one problem.... I’m don’t really know what being a woman’s about yknow... I’m like basically a man, I’m not too smart n cultured and I’m weird looking an dunno how to make friends and swear and casually insult people.... an I’m not disciplined or of important blood, is this really ok?!? I’m not... look at... but I’m .”She was panicking, this was overwhelming and way more than she’d ever imagined her life’s direction, she believed she’d be a simple farmer/mercenary/smith for her town and that’s be her life, drinking and partying on her spare time, maybe a small trip if she made some dough. Inferiority leaking from the recessed of her mind as she subconsciously began catastrophizing and beginning to feel like she should refuse and leave. her expression was a mask of unpleasant self introspection combine with the reaction a peasant would be expected to give when being offered something beyond their station, refuse it under the concept of low self worth... She attempted to stop walking, however is Sheva didn’t allow this and kept trying to lead her, she would not resist. All this was too good to be true, she was feeling unworthy... a large part of it though was the enormous changes in her life that would be complicit with this... and As we all know, change can be scary, especially with this strange bazaro equivalent of negative events she’d went through before, but completely reserved into positive ones. ”What could I really offer...cause in the end I’m just a subhuman monster with no other value than as a tool....” These last word rang out intense and with an almost dead voice, clearly quoting someone’s words that had once a long time ago been burned into the very essence of her Psyke, her eyes widening as she looked to the ground, her father would normally hit her for such words or thinking as he strove to burn that thinking out of her, however he was not there to remind her otherwise.

Sheva let go of Tomeo and continued to smile "We all have our difficulties. It's how you choose to overcome them that's important. "She picked up Tomeo's chin and made eye contact with her "I grew up an orphan, I had nothing. "she smiled and stepped back, studied Tomeo; "If you told me that I would be surrounded by sisters, I would have called you crazy. "She laughed to herself, the pain that Tomeo had was not foreign to Sheva.
"You have a hunger, I can see that in you. "She extended her arms and looked around the castle "As do we, let us satiate you. "A valkyrie walked over with a scroll in which Sheva held in her hands. "If your mind is what you have, we shall augment it and nurture it. "
She set the scroll on the ground and used a single hand sign; a small plume of smoke enveloped the manuscript revealing a small crown. She backed away from it and looked at Tomeo. "Take your crown Tomeo and let your sisters help you find your purpose. "A few Valkyrie took notice and stood there watching them, they seemed to be brimming with excitement. The castle grew quiet in anticipation.

The differences this castle had to any she’d seen were ever expanding, its internal layout appearing to have on a few key similarities in tactical design, internally so far it seemed to be differently structure, though this castle was bigger and not designed to feed a single persons greed and ego, thus it was built with a militant efficiency in mind. Now the aesthetic senses was of a less egocentric manner but none the less well built or artistically designed, in fact Tomoe preferred this castles internal design, whether that was subject to bias was without importance. It was then that Sheva would release Tomoe and speaking word of strong meaning, this woman at least had shared in some of the same miseries as Tomoe, so the assurance that would bring her was quite great as she’d not had a comfortable or stable upbringing either. The eye contact and physical contact the woman used again made her slightly uneasy, nobody at all every was like this with her, this was like something she observed in others or saw in one of the few movies the family had back home. Tomoe swallowed and exhaled slowly when Sheva stepped back.
This person has gone well beyond their station based in the world Tomoe had lived in up until now, things were taking a turn however as this woman’s words and actions cracked apart a piece of the ceiling with Tomoes psyke that represented the heights one in her standing was allowed to achieve, allowing a small amount of sky to now exist as a possible height to reach in the future, if she could perhaps be rid of the barriers within and expand her mind... which tempering and giving substance to who she was implied within the words of Sheva even if said differently. The woman has produced a scroll, what was going to be summon but non other than a small crown, other member of the castles Valkyries had began to pay attention and gather, the castles bustle reducing almost eerily, giving a feeling of auspiciousness. Tomoe eyes flickered around and then back to the small crown before her, hesitantly beginning to raise her armoured hands slowly toward the crown, the claw like tips tapping the outside of the crown delicately as the metal on metal made a light clink. This feels heavier than it looks, this here... its weight is that of the responsibility it represents, can I carry it I wonder..? She thought you herself as she lifted the crown higher to just below her eye level before her predatory eyes flicked up to Sheva then spoke ”Is there something I’m meant to say or specific way I should go about this..?” She quietly asked, relatively embarrassed that there was so many eyes on her and she didn’t know the proper protocol her, there had to be an etiquette to this sort of thing she belived.

Sheva waived her hand and the valkyrie went back to what they were doing “ Sorry, they are excitable. “ She said with a chuckle and guided Tomeos hands to her head and placing the crown, she smiled and nodded at Tomeo “ Your one of us. “ Sheva actually seemed very excited and began walking through the courtyard, she knew that things were shaping up better then she initially thought. She waived Tomeo along, she knew that there was one more thing that she needed to see. Tomeo said that she was ’Sub-Human’ Sheva wanted to see what she meant.
She walked a corner of the courtyard and opened a small wooden door that lead to a staircase “ This is my favorite part. “ She said with a smile as she walked down the extremely narrow stairs and descended into darkness.

Tomoe tried to give an expression that would suggest she was relived she wasn’t the centre of attention anymore, that was almost foreign to her unless someone was making a scene that involved her. This was a more reliving experience as nothing negative came off it and Tomoe expected this little ritual was more important to the people here than Tomoe night yet realize, not to say she didn’t get there was weight and importance behind it, it was just an unfamiliar scenario. Tomoe allowed the crown to be guided upon her head own crown, settling on her hair and fitting almost comfortably, although lacking the weight she was used to feeling on her head, it still felt more noticeable than her Jingasa hat which was probably twenty or more times heavier than the crown. Sheva at this point decreed although slightly more casually than the term might imply that Tomoe was now a member of the castles fold, although it would probably take Tomoe a bit of time to get used to the concept but she was good at adapting.
Much like the Valkyries, although maybe more noticeable as she was directly opposite Tomoe and close by. Tomoe compared it to when she’d finished making her current gauntlets, which due to the fine craftsmanship she put into them, fit comfortably and didn’t impede her dexterity or ability to do intricate and delicate work with her fingers, resolving a large piece of her self consciousness by hiding it from people and her own eyes. Sheva started moving elsewhere, Tomoe again obediently in tow. Coming to a small wooden door in a courtyard that Tomoe had no actual idea of its purpose, storage was her first guess until it turned out to be one of the aspects of this castle or perhaps ceremony that Sheva was especially fond of. Tomoe watched at the door opened, leading into dark recesses with a claustrophobic staircase leading down into the blanket of shadow. She made a verbal noise or thought and uncertainty, raising one eyebrow as she descended after a few seconds of pause of watching Sheva do so, bad memories causing her to hesitate before shaking them off and setting forth, curious as to what was to come next. She didn’t speak nor ask where this would lead as she suspected she’d need to wait and see even if she did ask.

Sheva took the torch and lit each of the other torches in the room. The air was moist and hot, enough to leave a light condensation on the skin. She turned to looked at Tomeo as the torches gained more light. The darkness gave way to the Personal Forge and Workroom. Though a place where fires were stoked and dirt flew everywhere, it was relatively clean. She placed a large leather glove on her hand and opened the fire shield that enclosed the heart of the forge. The brilliance of the flame of the forge illuminated the room, cabinets covered the walls and large wooden islands separated one area from another. The islands had an assortment of tools that were needed for each section… the organization was meticulous. Sheva took off the glove and let the forge stay open, the water glistened on the walls “ Almost everything is in one room, the downside is that we are nearly under the surface of the ocean. “ Thinking relatively for a moment, the Castle itself is built on the edge of a beach “It just means that you have to build faster.” She laughed and fanned herself.

This walk was definitely one that ended on a favourable note, she was incapable of picking up on the subtle hints in the air as to where they were approaching as her experiences with metallurgy were in lost class or partially outdoor forges, her resources were limited to what the poor mans blacksmith might have and less at times... how she managed to make the equipment she did took her a couple of years to finally complete, her hat which was currently out of sight the clear first thing she made, her gauntlets the most recent discounting her scroll work. Wait a second, how far down and forwards had they went? Tomoe realizing that this probably was built into/under the ocean, what in gods name could be down here? prisons maybe... although so far Tomoe doubted that would be a thing Sheva would refer to so excitedly but she could perhaps be wrong....she was! The illumination granted by to torches revealed the fanciest workshop Tomoe had ever seen, meticulous and probably kept in an intelligent order than Tomoe didn’t currently comprehend.
”Holy s**t, this is awesome!!!” She said, forgetting herself and marching around to inspect the tools, she didn’t really understand why it being under the ocean was a downside, although the fact this place retained heat and humidity would in the soon future reveal a big downside to the location, although Tomoe spent summer without A/C or electricity for most of theirs home, meaning she could generally cope.... being a bit of a meathead also helped with that. ”Everything in one room I guess could be an issue if more than one person are working here but with everything in one place nobody will be loosing or selling the tools for booze or tobacco.” She mentioned in reference to her home life without animosity and in a much more matter of fact manner meaning she was used to it and possibly had done so herself. She pulled a smithing hammer from the wall and tested how its grip felt... not right in her armoured hand so she began to undo one of the straps to start removing them without thinking. After pulling her sleeve up to get at a higher strap she caught a glimpse of one of her stitch marks and realized that Sheva was still present, causing her to freeze and slowly start to redo the strap. Tomoe muttered quietly to herself about leaving it till later, pulling the sleeve down, retightening the strap and returning the hammer to its location before continuing a visual inspection of things. ”This must have cost a fortune right? How the hell did you afford all this”.” She said sounding jealous and impressed at the same time. Now Tomoe was poor, but perhaps not in the sense of not having savings and more in the aspect that she simply doesn’t understand its value, she barely uses it and just hands money over and takes the change without paying heed.. but even she could tell this cost the proverbial “arm and a leg” but also imagined it cost probably 20x what Sheva actually paid.

Sheva laughed and walked around the room, there were a lot of memories there though it seemed like a lifetime ago “ Goodness… I worked all the time. I used to patrol a small town named Estia. “ She laughed to herself, though she considered Estia truly her first home… it just seemed like a lifetime ago “ As payment for my security, they used to pay me in whatever they could, I accepted anything. “ After the Korogashi War, Sheva remembered fainting among rubble and destruction. She awoke to people caring for her in her wounded state. Though the people of Estia were poor, the gratitude was welcome. She seemed to physically shake off the semi-revealing moment she was having.
She looked at Tomeo and smiled “ Lets get out of here and lets show you the fun stuff. “ She pointed at the door that led back outside.

Tomoe despite being bent over looking at things with vast interest turned her head toward Sheva when she started talking, turning her body then straightening toward her in that order. Normally when someone or someone’s would start talking like this she’d half pay attention because it was her family who did so and she basically knew everything they might come out with by this juncture in her life. This also applied to old people who droned on and children who babbled, though Sheva was in the unique position of being none of the aforementioned and thus stole Tomoes focus from her intrigue with this room to interest in what Sheva was saying. These thoughts were probably of happier and more free days than that of now Tomoe guessed in the back of her mind, using Shevas body language and inflictions as her reasoning for the assumption. The moment passed, or more one could say Sheva shook it off, Tomoe unfortunately was unable to relate with Shevas feelings because her presence in her town was perceived under a different lens than Sheva had been, not like things couldn’t change for Tomoe though. ”The fun stuff eh? I though this place was you favourite so then would this be leisure facilities...? She though to herself, swiftly walking the direction Sheva indicated, taking a second glance over the workshop for a brief I stand before bouncing back up the stairs quickly to await Sheva at the top then proceed to follow her again from that point.

Her excitement to share a part of her world was overwhelming, she had never had someone in the past that wanted to learn about her. She walked up a flight of stairs and out to the courtyard and stood right outside of the barracks “ This place is for you. Each Valkyrie had to learn how to fly. “ Sheva smiled and opened the door, the room was completely empty and she walked in. She knew that she wanted to get things moving as quickly as possible; from what she had in the Crow Lands...things were going to get messy “ I’ll be teaching you: Science of Flight, studying flight patterns in birds, and my personal favorite: The Uingu Dai the Winged Style. “ Sheva walked to the front of the room and looked over the room, she knew that she needed to teach Tomeo the Winged Style as soon as possible.
Sheva was concerned with the happenings of the Crow Lands; people ascending to godhood, the use of highly destructive jutsu. The scene was chaotic, she needed to be vigilant and make sure that Tomeo was more than capable of defending herself; though Sheva was certain that this was not a problem already “ I currently have a Valkyie returning from the Leaf. We need to be ready for possibly anything. “
Though this new force was new, she needed to make sure that they were ready for anything. She had no idea how the talks went in the Leaf “ Flying is essential for operations here, there isn’t another force that controls the skies… we are that force. “ On one side of the blackboard she drew silhouettes of different bird wings, she highlighted the differences and circled different parts. Sheva was never a teacher, this was going to be a learning experience for her too.
