Gokuzi

Gokuzi was a blacksmith who, according to legend, was the first to develop a fighting style that made farming implements into, what are largely known as today, peasant weapons. He created and utilized the first tonfa in the Lion city of Tonfajutsen, forcing the Emperor's own magistrates to cease their harassment of the heimin. Gokuzi was rapidly brought up on charges, testified against, and put to death. A small peasant shrine was said to exist in the woods outside the city, but few heimin were willing to show it to outsiders. Game Master's Guide; 2nd Ed, p. 34 The shrine became a favorite meeting place of a large cell of the Bloodspeaker cult. Oriental Adventures, p. 221
