[QUOTE="Black Omega, post: 265045, member: 79"] Probably more semantics than anything. There are three Gods-Whose-Names-Cannot-Be-Spoken. They are so distant from this, they can be ignored as well as not named.;) They created Lady Sun and Lord Moon. Things went downhill from there and recently Rokugan ended up with Lady Moon and Lord Sun, Hitomi and Yakamo to their friends. They are the strongest of the thousand fortunes. As with all fortunes, they are revered but not really worshipped with any expectation they'll even notice. It's a show of respect. Aside from being pointless to kill them, since no one would benefit from it and everyone would suffer, Shadowlands and Rokugani alike. And neither they nor the seven great dragons really get involved in Rokugani affairs. Lord Moon was killed because he was trying to destroy the world, and this left himself vulnerable. Unless you rule someone has decided to try something, they are pretty much untouchable. Epic level spells..eh..maybe..but all spells in Rokugan come from the spirits. Epic level spells would be coming from the dragons, the Sun or Moon. So, why even stat them, let alone with stats as low as 20 PL.;) [/QUOTE]
