Ever wanted to be the Emperor of an entire empire, instead of the barbarian?

Small question.

Has the Scorpion Clan been taken already?

And if so, what groups/clans are still available?

 

[Creamsteak]

Let's see.... The Blood Speakers, The Turtle Clan, The Remnants of the Snake Clan, and the Ox Clan are all still around.

We have two pheonix players and two scorpion would be possible... but you wouldn't be the daimyo of the Scorpion Clan. You would just be an independant faction of the Clan...

You could also run a Ronin organization or something similar...

(Sensei sounds allright... I'll consider it...)

*bump* I'm just one of the players on the Shadowlands side, we're not evil...really! Just misunderstood, be sure to consider joining

btw, Sensei sounds good

Turtle Clan?

Could you please tell me a bit about the Turtle Clan, Creamsteak?

 

[Creamsteak]

Last Night Sollir informed me that the Turtle Clan is rather infamous for fighting with large smoking pipes and after a good hard fight, they like to sit down for a quiet smoke...

I think Black Omega is the person I need to get to explain the clan, he knows A LOT about Rokugan. The Turtle, being a Minor Clan, was not founded by any Kami (the gods that founded the original great clans).

Black Omega, are you out there to rescue me and give a little info on the Turtle?

Please

Officially, The purpose of the Turtle (or Tortoise) Clan is to serve as diplomats and couriers for the Imperial families, but they are not an Imperial family in itself. Their duties often lead them to labors many think not honorable, like commerce, heavy labor and interaction with gaijins. The interesting part is that this is only a façade, because they always secretly have been spies, smugglers and enforcers for the Emperor. While formerly the Hantei Emperors have technically been the daimyo of the Tortoise, Toturi bestowed the leadership upon the clan members themselves. Actually they're serving faithfully Hantei Naseru.

Excellent!

I like them already.

So, who's playing the Emperor('s faction)? Are we keeping with the way things are in the book, or have things changed? (Post Edit - Politically speaking, that is...)

There's a special plot dealing with the Four Winds I believe in the Rokugan IR.

You see, the emporer has recently died and had four remaining children (the Four Winds), who are competing for the throne. You can probably claim Hantei Naseru if you wanted to I guess, but a custom character would probably do just as well, Hantei's sortta...evil

Edit-More info on the Hantei:

Hantei Naseru, "The Anvil" Male human LE Imperial Sam 1/Courtier 10/Mastermind 9-One of Toturi's children given to the spirit of the last of the Hantei Emporers in a peace treaty at the end of the War of Spirits, brought up to be cold, hard, and ruthless-rumored that he killed Hantei XVI (Spirit of an cruel emporer who raised him as part of the treaty).
