The Flotsam Ninjas Friendly
The Flotsam Ninjas took in the people the Holy Nation threw away. That tells you everything about who they fight.
Refugees and exiles fighting the Holy Nation from the swamp's edge. Enemies of the theocracy, friends of the outcast.
Overview
Led by the swordmaster Sankuro, the Flotsam Ninjas are a rebel faction operating from Mud Town and the swamp borderlands. They shelter Holy Nation refugees — particularly Hivers and exiled women — and wage a quiet war against the theocracy.
Gameplay Impact
They are natural allies for anti-Holy-Nation characters and for races the Holy Nation persecutes. Their territory borders the dangerous swamp, so their towns are useful but not safe by default.
Joining & Reputation
Kill Holy Nation forces to gain reputation; this naturally aligns you with the Shek and against the theocracy. Friendly status grants skilled recruits.
Military Strength
The Flotsam Ninjas favour speed and skill over heavy armour — light gear, fast katanas and ambush tactics. Sankuro himself is a formidable unique recruit.
Best Uses
Best for: anti-Holy-Nation playthroughs, fast skilled recruits, and a foothold near the swamp's drug economy.
