Scorpion Clan Letter - #18

Those who know me will quickly tell you that praise does not come easily from my lips. Praise is a balm for those accustomed to failure, and I do not encourage failure. Instead of seeking praise, it is better to simply become accustomed to success, is it not? I think so.

But were I to give praise, my brethren, I would do so now. Reports of victory after victory reach my ears, and all of them carry the Scorpion name. The Lost Tao -- that which not even the Phoenix or Brotherhood could recover -- was found by a Scorpion. The chancellor of Rokugan -- a Scorpion. The King of Trolls -- a foe powerful enough to threaten the entire Empire -- defeated by a Scorpion. In arenas of politics, religion, and even open combat the Scorpion are supreme.

You have done well, my brethren, but this is no time to be complacent. Draw upon what you have learned. Add to our victories until these great deeds seem as nothing piled beside them.

Let all the Empire know what it means to be a Scorpion.

I will be beside you, and I will not allow you to fail.

Do the same for me.
