Courts of the Crane Clan

I have another question: Why are we fighting with the Otomo? They've been some of our closest allies for centuries. Was this the direct result of a player storyline choice, or was this just AEG fiat?

A question: Will the dueling prowess of the Crane start to matter again? I ask because in two of the more recent times when dueling should have mattered, it did not. The first example would be the Emerald Championship between Kakita Noritoshi and Bayushi Jimen. I'm fine with the Scorpion winning bec...

That was because Shawn didn't want to change the dynamic. The new story policy puts everything on the table.

Just a heads up, I'm going to be dumping bounties into the dissolution of the alliance at every chance I get. I feel that nothing in the history of L5R has made Crane less interesting than the removal of our only real threat. Currently, I have these bounties out for Crane players: If a Crane select...
