[edit] Loss of the Ancestral Lands
Kyuden Hiruma, the ancestral home of the Hiruma family was destroyed in 716 by The Maw. For centuries the Hiruma had no lands to call their own. A Hiruma warrior was grim, determined and joyless. The Hiruma bore no mon during this time and strove only to regain their homelands. (Crab p. 38)
[edit] Restoration of the Ancestral Lands
In 1130, they fulfilled their quest, and once again, Kyuden Hiruma was filled with the colors of the Crab. The Hiruma took a new mon and moved the family katana, Hiko back to Kyuden Hiruma from its temporary home in Kyuden Hida.
[edit] Shinjo Allies
Hiruma - Shinjo marriages were not uncommon as the Hiruma were sent to train in Shinjo schools as their emphasis on speed and stamina is very close to their own teachings. Most notably in recent years is Hiruma Todori, daimyo of the family. Todori spent a great deal of his youth training with the Shinjo and has the same free spirit as his Unicorn cousins. (Crab p. 39)
[edit] Hiruma Scouts
Hiruma Scouts serve as military spies and advance scouts and are able to blend in with their surroundings and watch entire armies pass by undetected, they can run with the stamina of a horse delivering messages to units days apart. Their speed and intelligence gathering abilities are second to none. (Crab p. 38)
