Jinan

Nine Legendary beings, who guard the Nine Temples in the Nine Planes they are sworn to protect. The powers of evil continually attempt to destroy the balance and harmony the Nine Temples represent. The appearance of The Nine on any battlefield can take on many forms. They are formidable warriors whose lives belong to the Nine Planes they serve. They are dragons. They are tigers. They are the elements themselves. The powers they wield are vastly unknown to any but The Nine. In this Plane, in this Time, they are the Nine Samurai.
