[QUOTE="Creamsteak, post: 252145, member: 552"] I'll differ this to Black Omega if he doesn't mind going over the Mantis Clan for you. He knows quite a bit about Rokugan, and was a participant in the Last IR. I think he is staying out of this one, but he has been endlessly helpful in describing the clans, families, and such. I know the Mantis Clan is the center of attention in the Islands in the Far South East of Rokugan. They have only recently been promoted to the rank of a Major Clan after being the largest minor clan for a long time (like since the boar clan was basically wiped out). I'm playing the Dragon Clan in the Far North of Rokugan. I've stepped beyond my boarders a little in my claims, as if I pushed my way into Unicorn Territory, but not so far as to really mean that much. My PC is the Dragon Clan Champion, and one of the most well-known warriors to ever live in the empire. All of the clans are rather symbolic. The Crab are the hard shelled defenders of the Empire from the adversaries of the Shadowlands. The Crane are aristocratic, but are quite possibly the strongest clan because of thier close ties to the empire. The Lion are fearless, despite the many battles they have lost over the generations. The Scorpion have been reinstated as a clan, and are sneaky, stealthy, subversive leaders. The Pheonix are similar to a Mage-dominated society, which is different from the rest of the empire. There are many intertwining storylines, but you don't need to know much about any of them except for the one you help to write by being in the IR. [/QUOTE]
