Shōkan Tribes | Which would you choose?
There are three main dominions that shōkans can summon from. The Dominion of the Sun, Seeds, and the Ocean.
Hikari Tribe
The Sun's Dominion consists of everything that the sun is made of and exudes. Therefore, those who can summon heat, light, radiation, fire, and gas are from the Hikari Tribe, the tribe of the Sun.
Shido Tribe
The Seed's Dominion consists everything that grows in and from the earth. Therefore, those who can summon various plants and influence them at will are from the Shido Tribe, the tribe of seeds.
Umi Tribe
The Ocean's Dominion consists of everything that dwells in, made of, and comes from the ocean. Therefore, those who can summon sand, water, and salt are from the Umi Tribe, the tribe of the ocean.
