Imperial Herald #15, Legend of the Five Rings History
Jade Edition
In the end, Toturi was proclaimed Emperor and the whole Empire beganthe slow process of rebuilding. In deference to the sacrifice of his lifelong friend Doji Hoturi, Toturi selected a Crane for his advisor. He also issued charters for each of the clans, reaffirming their place in the Empire, delineating their duties to the throne, and seeking to partition honor to promote peace. This included the Scorpion Clan, who were reinstated to their position, and ToturiÕs own army, which became the imperial guard.
Meanwhile, in the Shadowlands, Kuni Yori wrote Oaths and Betrayals and began to build himself a following among the vile creatures he had grown to undersand.
And finally, in the dark mountains of the Dragon, Mirumoto Hitomi proclaimed herself daimyo of the Dragon. She abandoned her family name and started a new family in the name Hitomi, forcing all of the Togashi family to renounce their loyalty to their family line under pain of death. Some did, while others fled the Dragon lands and joined the Brotherhood of Shinsei or the Naga. The Obsidian Hand, which had now turned HitomiÕs entire arm to obsidian, had given her dark knowledge and powers, and she saw the terrible purpose to which her life must lead.
