Lanai

As of the 2570s, Lanai was one of the newest settlements to be officially recognized outside of the S.M.I.L.E. bunkers in the Shimafukian archipelago; Lanai is located within the Tibo prefecture of Iomoyos island. Founded in 433 A.C.E. by Hibiki Toshimoro, a legendary warrior who would pass it’s responsibilities to his nephews; Morimoto and Getsueikirite Entenryu.

Suima follows what is known as The Lanai Initiates, a group of twenty students, apart of the fourth generation of Lanai’s residence who’ve been raised specifically to join the Shishibuki; a group of mercenaries who specialize in Matter Arrangement, or more specifically Haichi and Hoian powers, who hold relevance throughout most of Shimafuki’s ancient history. Named after the final words of Shimafuki’s greatest warrior; Hirano Yoichi; “Shì shì bùkě” which roughly translated to “I can not be everything.”, they were once thought of as evil, and looked down upon, however after their revival, they are heralded as one of the few pieces of Shimafukian history to be kept intact, and therefore are held in high regard.

History and Major Clans

Hibiki, to form Lanai, brought together four clans who had formed in the under-layers of Caipat;

• the Ichihara, for their swiftness, natural speed, and navigational abilities, whom he made the couriers and watchers of the borders.
• the Hosoda, for their strength and highest standards of loyalty and will for doing what they thought best for their people, making them the settlements guards.
• the Sakatani for their natural affinity to the overly toxic waters, being capable of cleaning and manipulating the water of the land to make a habitable settlement.
• the Yoshisawa, for their love and knowledge of animals and beasts, making up the animal farmers and trainers of the settlement.

Hibiki, knew of the dangers of the wild, as well as rival settlements, and therefore devised a plan to put their settlement on the map permanently, making it one of the first major non-bunker settlements. Unfortunately it’d take too long to accomplish and therefore put his nephews in control on his deathbed, Morimoto would watch after the civilians and residence of the settlement, while his brother, Getsueikirite would lead the military and raise several generations of warriors who would become unbeatable.
