The Yubiwa, as they are referred to by other Monastic Traditions, are seen as being very strange to other Monks. They are a lineage based tradition, one cannot be integrated into the tradition unless in very special circumstances. The Ringmonks bear homage to a particular Sage Dragon, whether it be from the skies of the Sukaidoragon or the caves of the Keibudoragon, the Monks swear fealty to these creatures and consider themselves their protectors.

Legend tells of nine brothers and sisters who had been beaten and left for dead, the Sage Dragons took pity on the siblings and rescued them, carrying each one to the place they called home. Thus beginning the Tradition, in the case of the Feitodoragon, only those descended from the Woman the Feitodoragon rescued know where it truly resides. The Tradition involves the first Rings which were given to the Nine Siblings, each one crafted from a scale of the Sage Dragon, whose magic has been passed down to all members of the Yubiwa.
