The Quanrong (Jap: Kenjuu) are mountain dwellers, they are said to be ferocious and very strong. They also seem to have a motif regarding wolves as they and their descendants in Zhao wear wolf pelts in battle since ancient times and domesticated wolves to act as sentries. As befitting of their ferocity and current residence, the Zhao branch is also known as the Fangs of Ryouyou. Meanwhile, it is known that the descendants in Yan were used by Geki Shin for his elite troops in his army. Under Geki Shin, their Poison Dogs Unit gained renown as the fastest cavalry in all of China.
History
520 years ago in the Zhou Dynasty, the Quanrong was the main army of one of the princes of the Zhou dynasty. The prince started a rebellion trying to overthrow Zhou. The Quanrong army shattered Zhou's army and broke their cities. 520 years later, their descendants still live on.
One group of descendants lived in Yan and were in the Geki Shin Army before later being captured by Zhao while a other group resided in the City of Ryouyou in Zhao. Currently ruled by King Rozo, the city was considered outside of Zhao's normal jurisdiction due to their abnormal ferocity and they were given substantial autonomy and the authority to kill any trespassers (Zhao or none-Zhao alike). While the Quanrong in Zhao have little respect for Zhao's monarchy, they are respectful of its prime minister Ri Boku due to him personally giving them tribute in mutton from the northern regions of Gan Mon once every year. The latter was later mobilized during the Gyou Campaign against Yo Tan Wa Army. It has been observed that the Quanrong’s leaders lead through fear with their subordinates being unhesitant to be used as sacrificial pawns or killing their own allies due to fear of execution of themselves and their entire families for insubordination or incompetence. They are said by Zhao observers to still live in a brutal society where weakness or incompetence is mercilessly purged.
It is also asserted that the Chouga Tribe in Qin is distantly related to them while the bulk of the Quanrong eventually went north after the Zhou Dynasty fell and became the Xiongnu. Coincidentally, their language is the same as that of the Xiongnu and the various mountain tribes.
