[QUOTE="Black Omega, post: 189982, member: 79"] Well, you need someone to start the Industrial Revolution. I wouldn't say there needs to be technomancy. The magic availible is different in Rokugan than in DnD, for example. It's all divine and based on spirits. No continual light to power those photoelectric cells, to steal an example from the first IR. Also magic items are mostly what are called nemurani, awakened spirits who only work for their owner. There's nothing resembling the attitude of mass prodiucrtion of magic that exists in FR or GH. There are a few spots the IR could start. With the Ox Clan, secretly the last bastion of the Kolat and a minor clan. The Kolat are working to overthrown the celetrial order and anything that puts commoners on a level with Shugenja and Samurai would appeal to them. The Kaiu family of the Crab. They are the master engineers, smiths and architects. And the IR would suit the Crab, it favors numbers over quality. And the big edge the shadowlands have is no numbers, it is the mega powerful oni, and masses of samurai with muskets using jade inlayed bullets would be a nice edge. Either the Unicorn or Mantis could be involved, they are both more outsiders and have contacts with the world outside the empire. [B][/B] Depends on Tokiwong since he got volunteered to run it.;) I'm just typing stuff in for information as the spirit moves me. [/QUOTE]
