It seems that I'm not up to date with the storyline, then.

It can move fast. Even more so now. They are doing biweekly stories based on the storyline leading up to the big tournament at Gencon that will decide the fate of the Empire.

Well... the storyline is relevant, but don't expect it to matter after we start. Whatever time you all would like to start at, I will accomadate for.
PCs are immune to death, but not immune to being defeated. In this IR, I have no qualms with a player being completely conquered, but the actual PC will live indefinitely (unless the player wants to accept death for some reason).
NPCs can easily be captured, killed, and subverted using the appropriate means. But now your asking about my rules...
I'm going to try being more free-form than I initially planed. I made a short book of useless rules at that point. Now I have a much more simple format.
NPC Rules (rough)
NPCs can strike anywhere. They are able to move behind enemy lines without any problems. They get a +2 on attack and defense rolls. (These rolls are made on a d6 as if you were playing risk).
Another rule that you really don't need to know yet is this: The maximum amount of PL you can attack/defend with is 8/1. That means that if an army of 100 attacks an army of 1, they can only send 8 PL to attack that one.
NPCs can go over that limit. 100 PL attacking 1PL could send 8 normal PL and a group of NPCs totaling 5 PL.
NPCs can be subverted by another player if they can defeat him. So, if a player were to send three NPCs totaling 6 PL to kill a 3PL NPC and they succeed, they can convert him.
Also, NPCs regenerate damage to them if it doesn't kill them. So, for each round of combat (I'll be asking players if they continue combat after I make the rolls) an NPC with a PL of 3 take two damage points, and can regenerate those two before the next round.
NPCs have a great advantage, however they are limited in number. All rules apply to PCs, but they have complete death and subversion immunity. Also, players can choose an NPC as a PC, like I have, or they can choose to create a PC up to level 20.
I will award levels at a decent rate. NPCs that accomplish kills on enemy forces will get a pretty good amount of leveling... but I doubt you would want to risk loosing an NPC so much that they gain more than 5 levels per turn.
Although I have listed NPCs in every clan unit, they don't follow the rules for NPCs for that case. For that case they are called Generals, and they don't do anything. However, I encourage you to roleplay stories in your individual factions.
I think thats enough rules for you to digest in this one post.

Ok, I have yet to decide if I take a npc as a pc or if I make up my own, anyway I'll claim the Unicorn clan
* Moto (Berzerker/Moto Avenger/Honor 1) Daimyo: Moto Gaheris (Male Sam 5/Moto Avenge 10) PL 5 : IR 8
* Iuchi (Shugenja/Honor 2) Daimyo: Iuchi Yue (Female Shu 14) PL 4 : IR 5
* Shinjo (Ranger/Shinjo Explorer & Kishi Charger/Honor 2) Daimyo: Shinjo Shono (Male Rng 2/Sam 3/EXplorer 3) PL 1 : IR 1
* Utaku (Samurai/Battle Maiden/Honor 3) Daimyo: Utaku Xieng Chi (Female Samurai 7/BattleMaiden 8) PL 5 : IR 8
* Horiuchi (Shugenja/Honor 2) Daimyo: Horiuchi Shem-Zhe (Male Shu 8) PL 1 : IR 1
* Ide (Courtier/Honor 2) Daimyo Ide Tadaji (Male Courtier 20) PL 10 : IR 28
and
* Shiro Utaku Shojo (Castle) PL 7 : IR 5
I can't really claim more territories for now because without a map I'm blind. Otherwise can anyone tell me the names of the "city of the rich frog" and of the "city between the rivers"?

I'll go search for a map, but I'm helpless to make one.
You still can pick up a map from any of the Oriental Adventures or Rokugan books. I'll see if I can find something I'm alloud to use as OGC.

Here are some of the Maps that you can use as reference, but I need to find a really good one. We can't official use any of it, and all we can do is link to the sites containing the content. I'm not sure where to look for a big fat official map we can use, or a person that doesn't mind coloring the map in place.
This first map is a colorful, but useless map...
www.l5rbrasil.ldqhost.com.br/Imagens/Rokugan.jpg
This map looks VERY good, but it is not written in english, so we need something "similar" to this map. It divides everything up regionally, and gives a good idea of locations. A lot of villages and cities need to be added, but if anyone can find something similar to this (or even close) that we have permission to use -tell me.
http://perso.wanadoo.fr/chrismich/Diplo Rokugan geographique big.jpg
This map divides everything up into provinces, but it is missing all the major cities! I actually think this one might be easy to convert, I could quickly add cities to it, and then add all the different provinces to the lists. Only major disadvantage is that it doesn't really show you the natural features of the world at all.
http://darkwinds.freeservers.com/Nwo.jpg
Rokugan Large Map, with some good land features. I like this one, but everything is labled with numbers (causing a lot more work to find information). It also happens to be a 2 meg map... which is fine... but not convenient. This map also gives the option to introduce the nagas.
http://www.westnet.com.au/mdewar/images/provincenummap.JPG
http://www.westnet.com.au/mdewar/knklargemap.html (original website)\
This website gives a big overall map, with a bunch of sub-maps to look at specific regions of the world. Though not very well labled, it does look allright.

Additional comment. The City of the Rich Frog is Toshi sano Kanemochi Kaeru. Technically close to unicorn lands buta city guarded by a Ronin brotherhood and outside Unicorn control, by the book.
