Hmm what will hapen to the Imperial families? Will they be a playable faction because at the moment there is no sign of an extra sub forum or embassy for them besides the imperial offices.
Thing Is I really would like to play an Otomo as it is one of my favorite families to play so I hope they will be there.

The Imperial Offices will likely be the Imperial Family equivalent of the Clan Embassies.

That would be cool because it seems that besides my local group were we are not playing L5r at the moment findinmg a group on the internet where I can play imperials is quiet difficult for me a german because of time differences etc. ^^

There's been an update above!

The fiction was very good, it's nice to read some more L5R fluff.

Small question though. What are the Crane up to?

Does the name/title Ookami mean something? Or is Daigotsu Ookami a character invented for this history?

It implies something-something ronin.

If I remember correctly Daigotsu Ookami was a character created to be the father of Daigotsu Tsubaki, Zarasu's WC4 character. He was a heavily tainted and very vicious general.

Still super excited for this game.

An update is you!

Ooh. Interesting...

I have to point out, though, that the Harriers (the very small, highly illegal force that used gaijin pepper and such tactics agains tthe Crane's enemies) were very thoroughly purged as a matter of survival for the Crane Clan. If they've been reconstituted, then that is a major event that should be expanded upon, IMO. If that story refers to "normal" Daidoji scouts, then I would suggest picking a different term for them, as the Harriers and their disbanding are a somewhat, ah, fraught subject in some corners of the Crane fanbase.

You are correct in that we never explicitly stated that the Harriers were reconstituted. We did however, take liberties with what was implied in the canon fiction.

Thanks for asking.

...you know, I had actually forgotten about that fiction entirely - I think largely because, after all the fuss, the Story Team was like "yeah, the Harriers are still never coming back". As the Story Team is no more, however, there is certainly no reason for you to be bound by their plans unless you feel like it. Thank you for clarifying

So I went ahead and opened this thread here:

http://spiderclan.net/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=2178

My goal is to drum up interest, fix the wrongs, polish our goals and wait until all the fiction and the application process is up. I'm glad Spider is given a chance to be a thing.

That thread raises what is likely to be an important question - just what sort of Spider Clan will be present at this court? The Empire-loyal Spider under Shibatsu? The Kanpeki loyalists? Both?

Although I think both. I am rooting for the Empire loyal led by Shibatsu. And will love if this group will take the route of the leper colony, discussed in PsiNorm's topic.

Although, I do not think I will able to participate but the premise of my Campaing will be affected by the outcome of these events.

Keep up the good work guys.

Hi Takumi senpai!

I do support the leper colony too. Hope that this idea get's pitched during winter court.

....and another update, Samurai.

Well, did I expect the Isawa to do something right for once? Of course I didn't ! Tadaka would be proud.

*sigh* This is the payoff for the path choice I wrote coming in second... alas...GO ERAKI!

The Scorpion were smacked by a crippling famine for letting Rosoku die. I can't even imagine what Tengoku would do for something like this. o_O

Send more dragons? Gotta Catch'em all!

LEAVE US DRAGONS ALONE!

An update has arrived!

Boom, why does my heart go boom...
