(IRR) The Rokugan Industrial Revolution (Thread II)

[Creamsteak]

Tarrasque, your PL cap is at least 130, and it might be a little higher. I'm not sure from this computer, but go ahead and get up to 130 or so while you can. A lot of shadowlands territories are up for claim, and your personal guard makes up 20 PL, so it shoudn't take too long to claim up.

Forsaken One, your PL cap is 130, Kintani province was claimed by serpenteyes, and you can still claim the Crane Clan champion from the top of the lists if you want.

I'm going to try and find myself the best place to sleep in this house, so I wish everyone a good day... and to me a good night.

 

[Xeriar]

Okies, me thinks I'm gonna claim these:

Crane Clan
* Doji (Courtier/Honor 3) Daimyo Doji Kurohito (Male Sam 6/Iaijutsu 5) PL 1 : IR 1
* Asahina (Shugenja/Honor 3) Daimyo: Kimita (Female Shu 12) PL 2 : IR 2
* Daidoji (Fighter/Daidoji Bodyguard/Honor 2) Daimyo: Daidoji Rekai (Female Sam 10/Ftr 10) PL 10 : IR 28
* Kakita (Samurai or Courtier/Iaijutsu Master/Honor 3) Daimyo: Kakita Kaiten (Male Sam 15) PL 5 : IR 8
* Yasuki (Fighter/Honor 2) Daimyo Yasuki Hachi (Male Sam 5/Ftr 4) PL 1 : IR 1
* Sumiga Province PL 5 : IR 1
* Jodo Province PL 5 : IR 1
* Wadashi Province PL 5 : IR 1
* Ukyo Province PL 5 : IR 1
Kintani Province PL 5 : IR 1
* Hyumisa Province PL 5 : IR 1
* Umi Province PL 5 : IR 1
* Buneya Province PL 5 : IR 1
* Chiji Province PL 5 : IR 1

And this if it ain't already claimed:

Crane / Crab Clan
* Nodai Province PL 5 : IR 1

Kintani Province is already claimed. You will have to ask Serpenteyes for that.

I also posess one of your towns as the Crab. Specifically
Aiso ni Ryokosha (Village) PL 1 : IR 1

If you want it, ask and I will swap it with the remaining town in Crab lands. I just wanted to seal off all paths into the Empire from the Shadowlands.

These territories are also yours (not a complete list, just from memory):
* Shinden Asahina (Castle) PL 7 : IR 5
* Jukami (Village) PL 1 : IR 1
* Yama ue na ho ni Umi (Village) PL 1 : IR 1
* Oni Mura (Village) PL 1 : IR 1
* Bunyo sana Asahina (Fields of the Morning Sun) PL 1 : IR 0
* Daidoji Training Grounds (Castle) PL 7 : IR 5
* Heigen no Doji (Doji Family Plains) PL 1 : IR 0
* Kyuden Doji (Palace) PL 6 : IR 4
* Shiro sano Kakita (Castle) PL 7 : IR 5
* Shiro Daidoji (Castle) PL 7 : IR 5

There are many others, unfortunately I don't have my map with me.

---

For the Shadowlands, the following areas belong to them:
* Kishi no Mizu-umi (Forbidden Lake) PL 1 : IR 0
Don't know much about this.

* Kawa Kurai Tsuki (River of the Dark Moon) PL 1 : IR 0
* Kuroi Yubi Kawa (Black Finger River) PL 2 : IR 0

One of these, I forget which, is the true boundery of the Shadowland's power. No (good) fortification will stand, no living army will survive. The area within is actually a giant whirlpool of slowly moving land that cannot be mapped.

* Haikyo Sano Kappa (Ruins) PL 3 : IR 1

Also known as The Big Stink, it's a goblin city built in mockery of human civilization, constructed atop the ruins of the old Kuni castle. More than anything it deserves a 7:5 rating.

The shadowlands as a whole can grow food, but it is not edible by creatures susceptable to the perils of the taint. Same as the waters of the shadowlands are not drinkable

 

[Lichtenhart]

Xeriar, did you decide about your PC?

 

[Xeriar]

Yup, no Hida Sonoru, taking Kuni Wastes instead. If I can make whatever generals NPCs later, and whatever other characters, there doesn't seem to be a reason to.

 

[Tarrasque]

I'll drop bells of the dead. I read l5r fiction but still dont know that many locations.

Tsuburu no Oni (Powerful Oni Lord) One of two Oni lords sworn to Daigotsu PL 2

Clan Families and Shadowlands Groups
Blood Speakers (A secret cult of Maho-tsukai working for evil and chaos through the Emerald Empire) PL 30 : IR 5

Territories in the Far South West of Rokugan
Forgotten Tomb of Fu Leng (Maho Site) PL 12 : IR 4

Horde of Tsuburu no Oni (The Horde of Shadowlands Oni pledged to Tsuburu no Oni) PL 20 : IR 0

Kuroi Yubi Kawa (Black Finger River) PL 2 : IR 0

Kawa Kurai Tsuki (River of the Dark Moon) PL 1 : IR 0

Kishi no Mizu-umi (Forbidden Lake) PL 1 : IR 0

Yugure Yama (Twilight Mountains) PL 20 : IR 0

Shinden Asahina (Castle) PL 7 : IR 5

that puts me at 95, Ill edit the rest in a bit later.

 

[Serpenteye]

Okies, me thinks I'm gonna claim these:
Kintani Province PL 5 : IR 1

That might not be such a good idea. The Kintani province is an isolated enclave a hundred miles away from the rest of your territories. It's impossible for you to defend it and owning it severely endangers your security, it's a liability for you. It might be wise to reconsider your decision.

 

[Serpenteye]

In addition to my prevoius claims also I claim these items to bring me up to my allowed 180 points:



NPC: 19th level Shugenya -2PL
NPC: 14th level Samurai -1PL

Artifact: Horn of Valor/Lion's roar, +1/+1 to army -10 PL
Artifact: Banner of Glory, +1/+1 to army -10 PL
Artifact: Golden Doom, +3/+3 weapon (katana) -10 PL

 

[Serpenteye]

I'm been rather lazy in my studies of Rokugan up until now, I still have a lacking knowledge in even the most rudimentary facts about the setting. Would anyone like to recommend a good online resource for me to read?

 

[Xeriar]

I'll drop bells of the dead. I read l5r fiction but still dont know that many locations.
Yugure Yama (Twilight Mountains) PL 20 : IR 0

Shinden Asahina (Castle) PL 7 : IR 5

that puts me at 95, Ill edit the rest in a bit later.

Shinden Asahina is a prominent Crane temple. I would not recomend taking this by any stretch of the imagination. Bells of the dead would have made for an interesting story

The Yugure Yama are the mountains of the northern Crab lands. They grow lots of Tea there, and the area is vicously trapped by the Kaiu family of the Crab (it is considered suicide to go through that place without a Kaiu guide

You should take Shahai (leader of the Bloodspeakers) and the Tomb of Iuchiban (seriously, not many people know where it is).

* Lead by Shahai (Female Shu 7/Maho-tsukai 11) Leader of the Blood Speakers PL 2
* Tomb of Iuchiban (Maho Site) PL 12 : IR 4

The Bloodspeakers are more of a 'hidden group' around Rokugan. They go and do random acts of evil I would recommend making some bloodspeaker NPCs and let them wreak havoc across Rokugan.

 

[Xeriar]

That might not be such a good idea. The Kintani province is an isolated enclave a hundred miles away from the rest of your territories. It's impossible for you to defend it and owning it severely endangers your security, it's a liability for you. It might be wise to reconsider your decision.

Is Kintani the province given to the Crane so very, very long ago? The Crane still -have- it!?!?!

If it is what I think it is, it would be was for IR purposes just to let it go, indeed, along with the castle there (I forget the name).
