Re: Poll: The Imperial Legal System
#1 is kind of interesting to me because I think it fits well with Shiba's intellectual/scholarly side and reminds me of the "alternate Emperors" description in IH that postulates a Shiba-led land as revolving less around the warrior and war side of samurai-dom - this choice to me keeps duels around as one of many choices but not necessarily the go-to ender-of-arguments choice depending on the clan and people involved (could definitely see, for instance, Crab and Lion and martial families in argument with other martial families going this route against one another and readily accepting it, but other families or mixed-school company taking that off the table in their disputes right from the start). #4 I think would fit a Shiba-world well too.
The consequence of #1 being a directly selected Emerald Champion highly like to be of Imperial stock adds a wrinkle too. With a broader number of Imp Families, would Emerald Magistrates all be Imperials too and be essentially another piece of the Bureaucracy or would the magistrates be from the clans still?

Re: Poll: The Imperial Legal System
The logic is that impartiality is a good thing when deciding cases between clans. Imperials being in Imperial postings would make some sense. Clan magistrates would still exist of course, and imperial appointments could possibly be given to the properly connected and qualified...

Re: Poll: The Imperial Legal System
We already have Imperial libraries going up in every clan's territory, so safe to say, the Imps are going to be a more visible presence in day to day life.

I actually like the last option, the sort of anarchy that creates great stories about Honoru!

Re: Poll: The Imperial Legal System
Jin doesn't have much of a preference other than 'not dueling as the default' so let's go with extra bureaucracy

I mean, if we go with option 1, at least the Ongaku mailmen will be very busy.
