Dragons in Black  -  the Guardians of the Dragon. By Hitomi "Puck" Pukku.

Stories about Hitomi

Legendary daimyo who was instrumental in the transition of the Dragon Clan from the
Age of Legends to the Age of Man. Controversy followed her early reign - she inspired
her followers while terrifying to her detractors.

After the War in the Heavens she performed seppuku to ascend to a higher plane of
existence, becoming the new Lady Moon. She still watches and protects the Dragon
Clan, just as Lord Sun protects and watches the Crab Clan.

Asako Bairei petitioned the Phoenix Council for permission to errect a shrine honoring
Hitomi. The temple's ulterior motive would be to prevent the dark powers of the Moon
from corrupting the Moon Goddess.

The Shrine of the Moon is in Phoenix lands near the Dragon border. It is open to all
who wish to pay their respects.

Hitomi as the Borg Queen?  -  Hitomi's view of "assimilation" as a cultural event.

Strike at Midnight - by Ree Soesbee. Odoshi's story of redemption and how he earned the
honor of being Hitomi's second during her seppuku.

Twenty-Seven Days of Darkness  -  Takes palce after "The War in the Heavens" and before
Hitomi's ascension as Lady Moon.

Unforgotten - by Shawn Carman. Asako Bairei's story and reasons behind the construction
of the Shrine of the Moon. (from Imperial Herald v2 #6)

War in the Heavens -  by Ree Soesbee. The Kaml Lady Shinjo returns to Rokugan bringing
the Scorpion Clan home from their exile. She attacks Toturi at Otosan Uchi, partly to avenge
the death of her older brother Fu Leng and partly to drive out the Shadow.

In Otosan Uchi, Takao the monk fights Onnotengu's avatar at the same time that Hitomi
duels Lord Moon (Onnotengu) at the Dragon's Teeth mountain peak to decide the fate
of Rokugan. (Imperial Herald # 12)

Stories about the People and the History of the Dragon Clan

Dragon Clan stories - official fiction and history.

Black Scrolls Section

Sites or topics which are contain ideas, words or "Fu Rule" associations with regard to
"Bandit", "Bloodspeaker", "Corrupt", "Honor loss", "Iuchiban", "Kolat", "Maho",
"Ninja" and "Shadowlands".

Bloodspeakers -  followers of Iuchiban and users of Maho (evil blood magic).
The Isawa also used blood magic but claimed that it was "pure". New and improved
Bloodspeakers emerged in the "Rein of Blood". "Hidden City" continues the story
of Iuchiban's return.

Blood Ties, A Tale of Rokugan -  tells of Shahai's relationship to Daigotsu.

 

Kolat - believers in the Age of Man (self-determination). Seeks to overthrow the Celestial
Order, opposed to both the Kami and to the Shadow (unnamed children of Onnatangu and
Amaterasu). Still believed to exist, though a "shadow" of their former selves.

( no currently known L5R Kolat web pages )

Shadowlands  -  ruled by Daigotsu, true follower of Fu Leng, the fallen Kami.

Kokujin's Journal - found by Mirumoto Yukuso, this is Kokujin's diary during his stay
at Kyuden Hitomi while he still had a sense of humor. The journal was written during
the time of the Hidden Emperor.

Shrine of the New Moon - Hitomi Hakene's site for the darker sect of the kikage zumi.
He won the "To the Last Man Challange" booth, thus retrieving Togashi's Daisho back
from the Shadowlands.

The 16 th Shadowlands clan letter is also available here.  (October 13, 2005)
