The Mizu Ki Hikari (pronounced MEE-zu kee hee-KAH-ree)1 are a human resistance organisation based in the oni ruled land of Chu Ye that opposes the rule of the tyrannous fiends.

They originally called themselves Tethoke when they were part of a nationalist movements for independence from Lung Wa.2 name did not sit right with imperial immigrants dependents, thus renamed it self within oni naming traditions to remind all who is the true enemy, with the statement "We can define our government once we have one." 2

In Chu Ye, humans are little more than slaves and are completely banned from carrying any sort of weapon. Because of this, the Mizu Ki Hikari train extensively in unarmed combat techniques. The Mizu Ki Hikari have many bases on the outskirts of the Chuyokai Forest in the country's south but, much like the oni rulers of Chu Ye, they fear the monsters that dwell at the heart of the wood.3 Despite the dangers at the forest's centre, the Mizu Ki Hikari still use the forest to smuggle human slaves out of Chu Ye and into the neighboring nation of Wanshou3 despite not being any more hospitable4 in part as Hongal to the north has turns away all Chu Ye travelers and refugees as they still have terrible memories of war,45 of armies of giants and ogres of the Nightford Mountains invading like in 164 IC or recent lose of Maiaji to the ettin Nghiem 6 supposably owes his loyalty to the rulers of Chu Ye.7

Generals

Five leaders referred to as generals lead Mizu Ki Hikari efforts across Chu Ye, and all of them frequently move between fortresses to defend themselves against the oni nation's assassination attempts.2
