(RC) Kansai Region Consilium Cabals

Here, for your reference, is a basic list of Cabals that the PC's have run into over the course of the first few adventures. I will also be posting Summaries of those adventures in the near future.

Kakumeiso (Society of the Cry of the Crane) Based out of Kyoto, Japan, this cabal is comprised of mages from the Mysterium.

The Consilium meets once a month at Kiyomizu-dera overlooking Kyoto. The Temple has Wards against scrying and Bans against weapons on its property. This is supposed to be the place where the Consilium can meet in peace.

Minor Cabals

Yamaguchi-gumi - Based out of Kobe, Japan, this cabal is comprised of mages from the Adamantine Arrow. The Mages are associated with the Yamaguchi-gumi family of Yakuza and direct competitors of the Kokuryo-kai. The cabal has little interest in Supernal Power, but IS interested in Temporal Power (Power in the Fallen World). As a Cabal, they are not taken seriously.

Major Characters: Larva (M), Inu Yasha (M), Shugo (M)

Unaligned Cabals

Myobu (Kitsune Legacy) - This is a Kitsune-based Legacy. The ancient progenitors of the Myobu were said to be Kitsune spirits. When Atlantis fell, the Myobu were seperated from the Fallen World. After many generations, the Myobu found a way to cross the Abyss. They joined with mages who specialized in Spirits (Thyrsus) and the resulting human/spirit hybrid became the Myobu - guardians of Japan against the ravages of the Shadow - most specifically against the Nogitsune - those Kitsune spirits who revel in Chaos and Destruction. Today, the Legacy is dying out. It's Attainments are taught from older Master to younger student in the guise of a Geisha Okiya.
Sanctum: Geisha Okiya in Pontocho Alley, Kyoto
Major Characters: Lady Kagawa (F), Ayame (F)

Burakumin (Society of the Unwanted) - Members of this loose, Kyoto-based Cabal are all Free Council Mages. They are the homeless and the displaced and they make their living in Kyoto by making their own luck. Itako, the Acanthus leader of the Cabal, lives in underground tunnels that were once used or would have been used by the Kyoto subway system. There are many others, sleepers and sleepwalkers alike, who barely eke out a living with the Itako and her Cabal. The Consilium is aware of the existance and location of this Cabal but do not openly acknowledge them.
Sanctum– Labyrinth below Karasuma-Oiki Subway Station, Kyoto
Major Characters: Itako (F) - blind prophetess, Baka (M) - idiot savant

Unfriendly Cabals

The Uchida Family - a family of Moros mages who manufacture soul jars in the form of twisted Ningyo (Japanese porcelain dolls). After an encounter with the PC Cabal, the family has moved underground. They have connections with Tamano no Mae (Nogitsune Spirit) and possibly have connections with the Consilium (who may be protecting them for unknown reasons)
Sanctum: unknown

The Shih (Banishers)
Sanctum: unknown

Unit 731 - Unit 731 is known historically as a government agency that conducted immoral human experimentation during the 1930's and 1940's. They are most famous for the incident known as "The Rape of Nanking" for which the Chinese have never forgiven them for and the Japanese government has never publically acknowledged. They were apparently disbanded after World War II.
Sanctum: unknown - although the Asylum located in the Kyoto Prefectural University of Medicine was once used by Unit 12 as a place for human experimentation.
