AW: Temptations (2nd Leg)
Die 4th leg Temptations (entsprechend Jadehand.com). Die Abstimmungen endet heute oder so (Spider dürfte angenommen werden, bei Lion könnte es ein knapperes Ergebnis geben):
Spider
Daigotsu's master deception, creating the Spider Clan from the ranks of the Lost, is an unprecedented success. Although there are those who suspect, thus far none can prove any relation between the two groups. By the time the Empire realizes what the true scope of the Spider's threat is, it will be too late. The final stage of the plan is known only to Daigotsu, but already his preparations cause whispers among his followers, whispers of a deathblow dealt to an already flagging Empire. And the final stage, the step necessary to bring the Spider's plan to its most gruesome fruition, is the acceptance of others.
If this Temptation is accepted, one Great Clan will accept the Spider and recognize them before the Empire as a fellow Great Clan. They will present a blade, forged by Rokugan's greatest smiths, to serve as an ancestral blade for the Spider, and one among their number shall be accepted as a high-ranking member of the Spider Clan.
If the Temptation is accepted, the Spider players will receive a personality card of the character that joins them, as well as their new blade. The Clan that chooses to recognize the Spider will be the non-Spider Clan with the lowest Knowledge score in Leg 5. Ties will be broken by lowest Spirit score.
Lion
For years before the onset of the Clan War, the Ancestral Blade of the Lion Clan was kept within the Imperial Palace in Otosan Uchi. After the fall of the Hantei Dynasty, it was eventually gathered together with the other ancestral blades and scattered across the sky by the wrathful Lady Shinjo, who believed that the Great Clans had disgraced their founders and the first Emperor. Since that time the Lion have made great use of other blades, including the Celestial Sword of the Lion, forged by the Fortune of Steel, and the blades Chukandomo and Daitan, powerful blades in their own right. None, however, has truly equaled the power of the Ancestral Blade of the Lion Clan.
If this Temptation is accepted, then one among those who dwell within the Celestial Heavens shall recognize the valor and honor of the Lion Clan, and return their blade to them. It will be borne by a powerful messenger chosen by the Heavens, one who shall stand shoulder to shoulder with the Lion, and strengthen their ranks in the process. Lion Clan players in the Imperial Assembly will receive a new personality card of this messenger, as well as their returned Sword.
