Thank you very much, Black Omega. That helps a lot. Whatever happened to this Yorotomo guy, by the way?
Presumably. As it stands the only minor clan worth worrying about is the Fox Clan. The Badger and Dragonfly have both been nigh-wiped out. The Ox are associated with the Kolat but pretty minor. The Tortoise are equally very minor. But this can always be adjusted.Mr. Draco said:What other minor clans/spirits/etc... are there in the rokugan setting? Seeing as all the major clans have been selected, and i still need to pick something, what background can you give me on the rest? (I believe creamsteak will be posting an updated list, right?)
Black Omega said:Not wiped out. But they've never been a factor in the Empire. Kenku tend to be neutral, reclusive and even in the really bad times had nothing to do with humans outside of an occasional lesson. Kitsune actually reside in the Realm of Animals, but can travel to the Realm of Mortals, where Rokugan is, through a portal on Fox Clan lands. They tend to be CG, and thus are slightly on the villainous side in Rokugan.![]()
If by the Shadow you mean Nothing/The Lying Darkness, it was 'destroyed' at the battle of Oblivion's Gate when it was finally given a name by the new Lady Moon. Some of the followers of the Lying Darkness remain, the Goju and Ninube, and both serve the Shadowlands now.
The Kolat have issues. They were crippled by Shinjo and the Lying Darkness. At the same time their purpose has been called into question. With the Sun and Moon replaced by ascended mortals, a Great Clan not founded by a Kami now existing, and the Hantei no longer ruling the empire, quite a few believe the Kolat have achieved their goals. Ahem, even if they didn't really have much to do with actually causing those events.The Daimnyo of the Ox Clan is one of the Ten Masters, so they are still around.
IMHO, the Four Winds story arc is the best they've done since the Clan Wars.

There are a few sites around but The Miya Archives collect the short stories, and other story related fiction.Xeriar said:Like I said, haven't seen much... Must find a history site... [/B]
Well, they were thought well of because they lived a very poor life, eschewing wealth and all that. they still exist, off hand I can't even think of anything done with them aside from their origin story in the Crane book. The Hare clan also still exists, though barely. And the Monkey clan is new but growing.Xeriar said:The Sparrow Clan was the other clan in the Three-man alliance (Wasp-Fox-Sparrow), and though the poorest of the clans they still had quite a bit of favor for some time... Don't know how they've held...
Well, the Badger's home was destroyed and most of the Ichiro wiped out something like 30 years before this. They maintained minor clan status thanks to a little luck, the Emperor dying before signing the document that would remove minor clan status.The Dragonfly were really an extension of the Dragon (with Phoenix backing), and the Badger an extension of the Unicorn. These minor points let them live on in the wrath of the Lion clan...![]()
