(Hyōjun Kaminari-Sen Ichizoku) – Clansman’s Blitzkrieg Standard
Type: Artifact
Rank: B
Range: Short – Long
Chakra: N/A
Damage: N/A (+10)
Description: The Clansman’s Battle Standard is a flag or banner attached to a staff or pole and placed somewhere in a landmark. It serves as a rallying banner to all those in the vicinity of it, inspiring them and augmenting their will to claim victory for their clan or group. The Freehold of Hanguri carried numerous standards in their armies during campaigns to inspire their troops, a tradition that still remains today long after the Freehold’s collapse. By planting this standard in a landmark, one can augment all their clan’s members damage by 10. This only applies to those of the same clan, not allies of a clan. This standard can only be used once and lasts for three days after it was placed in a landmark, after which it will expire and become useless.

It's not even the length that bugs me. Although I do look at context, I have to judge the mission on its own merits. How far back do we go? I'd rather not open that can of worms. So, yes, the things you mention, like lack of danger and 'feel' stand out to me. I just don't think this meets the standards of an S-rank. Mission Failed.

~Mission Passed. Basically, my issue is with the player becoming too inactive in the narrative. In this world we're really strong; NPC's ain't nothing. We make them up for missions and beat them when we want, usually. Difficulty and effort is not always measured in the physical strength of your opponent, if there even is one. Anyway, this way of doing a mission suits me just fine.

Chakra: N/A
Damage: N/A
Description: An artifact left behind by one of the last generations of border guards of the Hangurian Freehold. It details the technology used to design the guard towers placed along the borders of the Freehold; this allows the clan that possesses the Records to build watch towers along their borders that allows them insight in the neighboring unclaimed territories. As such, a biography in one landmark with a watchtower can acquire rudimentary information about the events occurring in an adjacent landmark. Vision provided by a watch tower cannot pierce the fog of war created by weather obstructions that reduces line of sight.

(Senzo Sentan) – Ancestral Edge
Type: Artifact
Rank: A
Range: N/A
Chakra: N/A (+25 per strike)
Damage: N/A Description: The Ancestral Edge is a five foot spear forged from steel and imbued with a mysterious orange ore from Tobusekai, the Eastern Continent. The spear predates the Hangurian Freehold, although is thought to have come after the Sage of Six Paths spread chakra throughout the world. Unlike traditional and conventional spears, the Ancestral Edge does not cut bone or rend flesh; instead its blunt strikes siphons the essence of that which it hits. In simple terms, the spear drains chakra from those it comes in contact with, barring the wielder. A single strike, a moment of contact, drains 50 chakra from the victim and returns 25 chakra to the user. The 25 chakra that is not returned to the user is stored within the spear, which is slowly stored up within the spear in order to access its fullest potential: the ability of nullification. Once the wielder has successfully stored 25 chakra within the spear, the spear can release an invisible pulse of chakra up to the end of mid-range from the user’s position. This invisible pulse of chakra, travelling at thrice the user’s speed, has the potential to nullify all Fuuinjutsu up to, and including, S-Rank for two turns. The spear is remarkably durable, being able to sustain itself from A-Rank attacks. The spear can survive a single S-Rank attack, but after which its defenses will be nullified; this leaves it vulnerable to mere freeform damage. The spear’s chakra reserves are drained at a rate of 25 per turn outside of battle.

(Kemono no Sadoru) – Beastmaster’s Saddle
Type: Artifact
Rank: B
Range: N/A
Chakra: N/A
Damage: N/A
Description: A saddle recovered from the ruins of Chungsu and crafted during the Golden Age of the Hangurian Freehold. The saddle, modest in appearance, is crafted from fine tanned leather and imbibed with Hangurian Ore. Lore holds that the saddle was commissioned by a noble house which was said to have tamed dragons and wyverns. While intended for dragons, the saddle is remarkably pliable and can fit any summon of reasonable size. The Hangurian Ore imbues the summon it is worn, enhancing its chakra and strength significantly; this allows the summon it is equipped on to travel through the world at higher speeds. This reduces landmark travel time by 10 minutes, while also increasing the summon’s effective speed by +2. This saddle can only be worn by personal summons, requiring a Ninjutsu specialty.
