Day 4: The Isawa perform Exterminatus on the region.

What a strange word for 'smear corruption everywhere, like an infant eating spaghetti, in the name of 'research''

Sugri nods, "The wilds do have much wisdom to offer when one knows where to look and listen."

Sugri can't help but laugh, a warm rich sound even with the dampening of the cool fog, "I can't say I'm used to being the one accused of being overly talkative. But I suppose I have been trying to test this new language more than I otherwise might."

I was just thinking about that, and there's a couple who could be, but we have a good enough population in each Clan that I think we'll have someone left in each Clan by game end. So they shouldn't have to be there. That said, there's other stuff afoot that they might be able to come in late if the...

At that he nods, "Sometimes the path to least harm is removing that which causes harm and if that which causes harm is unnatural and not of this world, let alone these lands, then it is only right to see it returned from whence it came." It was a slippery slope, one had to be very careful that they ...

"Well that's..." He catches himself mid urge to correct. It wasn't his place to put his beliefs upon these people plus, if he was being honest, that was at least a closer interpretation of right action than some of the less enlightened in his own land managed at times. "You are correct that none sho...

That... was an impressive story. Though with the other strange tales now haunting this land it might even be true. "I am glad to hear you made it safely and glad to hear there is some wisdom in these lands. One cannot eat meat without harm. It is not unnatural, and for survival it may sometimes beco...

The thing about being a stranger in a strange land is that one often then does not know what is out of the ordinary. But this, this was strange. Still whoever this was they, and their beast, did not seem hostile in act nor intent so there was no reason to meet them in kind. "Ah, yes, some of the far...

Approaching, from the other cardinal point, was (for once in his time in Rokugan) a slightly less conspicuous human in foreign garb. He whistles, although not entirely well, a folk song not likely heard in these lands before. The strange fog was disturbing but he could not control the weather. Thus ...

I look forward to somehow being surprised despite being Water 3 and getting to add Void in unkept dice to Perception rolls because RNG loves to mock me.

Origin: Invinda Caste: Brahmin Occupation: Guru Age: 30 Gender: Male Height: 6' Build: Well built athletic Hair: Black, worn long and usually loose Eyes: Dark brown Marital status: Unmarried Although his travels have taken him through Rokugan for a few years Sugri is still very obviously an outsider...

Ah I had checked under the almanac not the character creation. That's what I get for half-assing it while at work.

Looking at champions and daimyo. Wasn't there a Kaiu back in game one who I'd assume was Kaiu champion? Or did he croak somewhere in the 25 years since?

Kaiu was name-dropped as a prominent member of the Seidou but I think that was it.

He may or may not have founded a family yet.

Always watching, knows when you're sleeping...

Clearly Santa is an agent of Yume-Jigoku!

Many Lifetimes Ago Her grip tightened on the bow, as new to it as it was to this world its ivory inlay gleaming untouched by age, as she swallowed the fear that she felt. She was a priestess, not a warrior, she had not been trained for battles such as this. Around her lay the bodies of those who ha...

Yep - in terms of printing I believe 'Crystal as tears' predates 'Jade as tears' but then they came up with the specific nemurani of Jade Tears and eventually that got shifted to 'all Jade is tears'.

Is crystal even used decoratively in the empire? Also, crystal always confused me. Is it just referring to some specific fantasy material that exists in Rokugan or is it supposed to mean that any actual non-opaque crystal will work? I imagine it's the former since quartz is a crystal and is incredi...

But how else will we keep him around to grump more through the various timejumps?

Sora the Immortal (who would hate that even more than the people he grumps at)

Weapons gained from Inheritance do not give a bonus to attack or damage rolls - that is a given.

However would they count as nemurani in terms of overcoming certain resistances?

So what is a Gou-rou?

One who seeks to perfect and balance mind, body, and soul. I believe you have something similar among your people.
