I made a quick clan overview for my friends who are new to Rokugan. Figured I would share it in case anyone else was looking for something like this. Yes, I modified some of the quotes to remove names in order to keep it less confusing.

Loved it!

Thanks.

Why are the clans not completely in alphabetic order? I mean for some reason they are except for the Lion who come too early.

Ha! So that was Prezi's fault. The Lion bubble touched the Crane bubble when I was moving it, which to Prezi meant that the Lion bubble needed to be before the Crane. I'll get that fixed. Didn't seem like a big deal, figured it would only bother me.

EDIT: Fixed. The need for alphabetization has made me regret this whole thing. Clans are slightly in the wrong spots now so that the order is correct. What a mess to fix that was.

Update 2: Added fourth quote to Phoenix and Crane, changed a quote in both Lion and Phoenix to ones I think cover their spectrum more fully. Still digging for good Unicorn quotes that are not either directly about horses or horse-related murdering.

For the Phoenix, I would suggest the Shiba family motto, "Choosing between two evils is still choosing evil ," in place of the current fourth quotation. It reflects the blind idealism of the Phoenix above and beyond their desire for peace and valuing power.

I think I may replace the third quote with that, instead. I don't really want two pacifism quotes, and I like highlighting the Phoenix willingness to accept risk when risk leads them to where they want to be, which I think the fourth quote captures. Is there something about the fourth quote in particular you do not like or do not think highlights your clan appropriately?

Nah, you're right. Better for the fourth quote to go.

I was about to say, the third quote highlights the fact that the Phoenix commit when they take a course of action. The first gives an indication of their tendency to meddle when uninvited. The second... I may try to dig up an appropriate quotation to say something similar with more elegance, but it does basically reflect one of their central philosophical differences with the Dragon.

For the Unicorn, I think the current fourth quote is the best- but maybe fit in a version of the text on Shinjo's Guidance- from "She tempered honor with compassion and mercy," to "Temper honor with compassion and mercy."

That is a welcome change to the Unicorn. I swear, twenty years of flavor text for them and almost all of it is some variation of "My sisters, act honorably but quickly and let our horses swiftly trample the Khan's enemies!" The ones that aren't are either shugenja describing magic that isn't going to function the same now or deathspeakers who possibly don't exist yet.
