Question for the Writers: Asahina
Just replying to let you know you're not being ignored...I didn't write this part of the book, so I can't answer the question. If you don't get an answer in a day or so, I'll ping the other writers to see if whoever did write this part can answer it.
Thanks!
Just bumping so the question is not forgotten.
I did pass both of these questions to the Story Team but, given the holiday season, I think they've had other things on their minds. I'll ping them again later this week, if no answers arrive before then.
Hopeful bump? Maybe there's some other way I should be asking.
As this thread is still in need of an answer I ask as well. Is there an official response on the matter. The creation of the Asahina was a very inspiring story from the old lore.
This question has now been answered.
Rather than Kiriko riding out, facing Asahina, and enduring his elemental assaults to block them from the village using her own body, enduring this pain while keeping to the peace that the Crane have decreed should be...
She rides out and asks him to stop. When he keeps shooting fireballs, she looks very sad.
Asahina feels guilty because she looks so sad and spends the rest of his life seeking redemption.
Because who needs agency and courage when you can look sad enough.

That was well anticlimactic... Nothing against you ST, I really like your work.
I really liked that story tbh. It shows that you could make a difference without drawing a weapon, commanding an army or asking the Kami for help you.
Her determination moved even the kami a tale for generations and that’s the story I’m keeping in my games, because after all it’s my Rokugan.
