Heavenfall

From the Records of Master Jade Copies to be provided to the other Masters and available to the Jade Sect. On the Nezumi Although our alliance began as one of reluctant necessity in the end it was their aid and our magics combined that closed the tear between realms. Without them it would continue ...

I can say that, as far as future character concepts go, one of Jin's kids likely inherited that dot of taint. But that's not canon until said character exists if they ever do.

I love the amount of 'empty' space in the map presumably still held by tribes or disputed. It gives a lot of options for tension and conflict without going all the way to 'full on border war' right away.

Crab relocation definitely feels like it will be the biggest inter-Empire conflict point unless someone's post-game goals got real vicious.

(Which is why when it was obvious that one of the 'make peace with nezumi' options was going to win I went for the one that caused more conflict)

Jade secting all your clans - for the greater good of course.

The die is cast.

Now to see how Orokos manipulates the die to the most unexpected outcomes

But, seriously, can't wait to see what our GMs come up with for all this.

Jin Traveler You may spend 1 Void Point and expend 1 spell slot of either Air or Water (Void may not be used) as a Simple Action to instantly teleport a maximum distance equal to your School Rank x 100 feet. This affects only you and the material you are carrying, but by expending a second Void Poi...

Jin grimaces at the mention of the object, "I think securely locked away somewhere is a good place for it if you truly believe it will be safe and untouched there."

"I am certainly not averse with sharing copies of my records at least."

"Those are useful resources to have, and if we did not trust in you we would not have told you what we did. Just remember that forces open and hidden would seek to crush this if they knew so discretion is of the utmost importance."

Always love some Shadow influence so, yeah, had to vote for that.

Blood magic should stay viable since we closed the pit (and the mechanic is good) but I like there still being some risks. Went the cult route even though I know it won't win.

I enjoy the shuffling of the Empire and the not antagonizing the Nezumi more than necessary so there we go.

Jin doesn't have much of a preference other than 'not dueling as the default' so let's go with extra bureaucracy

Well Jin goes against Shinjo on this one. Doji's plan fits his views the best - show them benevolence and eventually they'll come around (ok, he's more optimistic than she is about the long term meaning of it)

After the big ritual an elemental council definitely feels like a natural development.

Otaku will be seen soon. She plays into Jin's goal

Shiba only came out of Game 1 with three in the works (assuming that, as Emperor, his descendants aren’t a playable Family), so it’s only really a lot if we keep adding more like the Isawa etc. as further standard Families. I would say he wasn’t even *that* overwhelmingly a PC favorite in the Tourn...

So any hints on the timejump before that story Wu. How long does he have in the Empire?

I guess it's hardly the biggest change to canon Rokugan social structure that we've made though... It does make sense that a lot more would try and swear fealty to the Emperor as opposed to his siblings. I guess in this Rokugan Shiba has a hard time saying no :P So maybe they merge as time goes by o...
