Seems pretty reasonable to me if they have a way to play to it - vassal families have been made in history for what can be some pretty minor things (not even things super heroic, sometimes just a person or a family that Did A Thing Really Well Over Time and for every heroic founder there's a geisha house runner or a gardener or educator or renowned artist and etc.) and early in the Dawn like this a lot of the primary families were founded by people that kind of also showed up on the scene and got noticed in various ways, and again not necessarily overly heroic things at that either but just impressing in some way (looking at people like Ikoma and Agasha here for instance). If anything, now is the time of trying to gun for and form the latter more than the former. Play up what you're good at Skills/Advantage-wise, find a way to impress or get some leverage, and go for it I say!

Also wholeheartedly agree on everything libraries: we need them, don't need them, they're Kolat plots, reading and writing is a mistake for everyone, and I'm going to make sure to add a book or two to the piles when the time comes.

I meant Great Clan Families, not Vassal Families (the ones who are under the Great Clan Families, like the Moshibaru of the Hida, or Kouken of the Mirumoto). Apologies if that wasn't clear in my original post.

[Miyako]

Ahh, I get it now! Clearly my ability to read and write has served me well and not. Stock and burn and re-stock the libraries!

[Canary]

I'll be sure to ask the GMs what it would take to make a full family within the Dragon.

For vassalage, I already have the family daimyo as well as my own desire, so that should be a sure bet.

You still have to get confirmation from his Daimyo for him to do anything of the sort: Shinjo.

[Nozomi]

ah, delicious character goals. Our mindss and wheels are already turning, and I love it.

...gotta survive the next three days firt. I may or may not be plotting as well.

(I've totally plotted, been entirely derailed and resumed plotting. My private forum is a fucking mess this time.)

[Togashi Saruko]

You don't need to make a mess of your plans if you got none at all.

(honestly, I'm just focused on surviving now lol)

Sure, and Shinjo could definitely see the benefit of it, at least from what her conversation with her husband showed.

Edit: Also, Shinjo is no stranger to people defying her and then later bringing them in under the fold. Look at the Ujik/Moto. They openly warred against her for a long time before a portion submitted to her and requested to join up. She's the Paragon of Compassion!

[Nanzi]

Shinjo Purge is much Compassion.

[Togashi Saruko]

Shinjo also personally killed like 50 of the Ujik-Hai, including their leader, and the survivors more or less begged for their lives to be allowed to join someone as awesome as her?

[Wu]

Wu offered the best deal he could manage...

...And I think the dragon has more to offer then the unicorn

[Togashi Saruko]

We have rocks!

Majestic vistas!

More rocks!

[Wu]

Peaceful valleys were nobody comes to annoy you! (except those @!@!@%@?%&$ Ayakashi)

Mines!

[Togashi Saruko]

By the way, Wu, I've found a good Ayakashi-wife for you!

[Wu]

Oh God why

[Togashi Saruko]

I got one for Sora and Jin too.

*is a good monkey*

[Jiyo Sora]

I got one for Sora and Jin too.

All three are Han-Han in a kimono, aren't they?

[Togashi Saruko]

. . .

You have no way of verifying if that's true or not!!!

[Ch’chit T’kkiri]

Jiyo husband-robbed by yet another Ayakashi.

[Hanzou]

Not those rocks. Those are our rocks.

[Togashi Saruko]

Jiyo husband-robbed by yet another Ayakashi.

Ayakashi will be to blame for generations of folks with Touched by the Spirit Realms.
