Lord of the Western Lands

Lord of the Western Lands is a position held by the Inu no Taishō, who made the Saikoku region of Japan his domain and protected it from foreign invasion and policed the area as well, dealing with major threats such as Ryūkotsusei. After his death, the successor to this role would be the Inu no Taishō's eldest son, Sesshōmaru. While Sesshōmaru often dealt with threats that his father had also faced, such as the Panther Tribe and the Shitōshin, he was nomadic, never claiming any territory or making one place his home, constantly roaming the countryside in search of power and strong opponents and after this establish his own empire.
