Ryuma – Eastern Dragonborn Samurai

Ryuma – Eastern Dragonborn Samurai

Dragonfolk (Fighter)

Dual-wielding curved blades with tranquil discipline, Ryuma combines the raw physical presence of dragon-kin with the refined elegance of an eastern swordsman. Encased in ornate lamellar armor and flowing robes, his sweeping horns and calm, ready stance command immediate respect across the grid. Keepers will find this Artifact an exceptional centerpiece for an honorable bodyguard, a formidable martial PC, or a stern duelist defending sacred ground.

Tabletop Lore

Hailing from far eastern shores, Ryuma’s life and blade are bound by an unbreakable oath of loyalty to Jin Shi—a life debt incurred decades ago. Bound by unwavering devotion, he swore to remain at his master’s side until death claims one of them, whether in the chaos of battle or by the quiet passage of time. Unconcerned with grand political schemes or coin, he moves through distant realms solely as an unyielding shadow and silent guardian to his lord.

Highlight

The stark horizontal draw of his main Katana paired with his sweeping dragon horns creates an iconic, balanced silhouette that projects lethal poise from every angle.
