About me:
The Phoenix Clan
The Shugenja |
The Phoenix are the scholars of Rokugan. While the Dragon seek to understand the Universe, the Phoenix seek to unlock it. Their incredible devotion to knowledge has made the Phoenix the most powerful magic users in the Empire. Their shugenja, or priests, can call the power of the elements to bear like no other. One shugenja of the Phoenix can easily equal a squad of samurai. But for all their power, the Phoenix are highly pacifistic, seeing war as a last resort.
Since the dawn of the Empire, the knowledge of the Phoenix has found new ways to banish darkness, but even in their power the Phoenix are oft-tempted. The Phoenix Clan is often courted by darker powers, and not all Phoenix are strong enough to resist. But the Clan, like its namesake, renews itself in the end, burning away corruption and arrogance. The Phoenix inevitably rises anew from the ashes, a symbol of light and hope in the Empire.
Unlike other Clans, the Phoenix are not truly led by a Champion, but by the Elemental Masters, a council of the five most powerful shugenja in the land.
