The Resilient People of the Waves
The Imonjani are human survivors who came from the sea. After their once-great eastern empire was stolen below the waves, the remnants of their people arrived on the shores of Padun. Though they can be calm and serene, they are a force to be reckoned with when angered; they are the wave that crashes upon the shore.
Through trade, travel, and tribulation, the Imonjani adapted to their new world and built the coastal port city of New Hope. They practice a thousands-of-years-old martial art known as the “Buli Path,” which is split into two distinct schools of thought:
- Flow: Practitioners seek to be formless and shapeless, moving seamlessly with their opponents and adapting to any situation.
- Crash: Practitioners embody the unruly ocean, striking first and hitting with extreme, unified force.
Masters of the Buli Path
The Imonjani utilize Water Magu and their aquatic heritage to control the battlefield. Their army consists of specialized troops trained to slip through defenses and weather heavy attacks.
- Mariners (Warriors): Using heavy iron turtle-shell shields and spears, these frontline fighters utilize a martial skill called “Dampe” to deliver fast, powerful blows.
- Droppers (Rogues): Originally deep-ocean divers, these nimble scouts use water ingot-enhanced shoes to speed across the battlefield, utilizing jellyfish toxins to disable enemies.
- Crashers (Mages): Armed with staffs forged by Watersmiths, these mages use refined ingots to focus the destructive power of waterfalls and riptides to push and disrupt enemy forces.
- High Waves (Priests): Acting as the spiritual keepers of Imonjani history, these healers bolster the resilience of their squads to stand strong against any assault.
