While all of the clans are still recovering from the Clan War and the War Against Shadow, there are a number of issues that continue to trouble the Crane:  The recent civil war, the Second Yasuki war, and the devastation caused by the great sea spider have put the Crane in a bind physically, both in terms of production and population, while the fact that the Emperor does not have a Crane bride has hampered them socially.  This is not to say that the clan is weak by any means (certainly no more than the others from the recent conflicts), but they are currently focusing on rebuilding the families, finalizing the repairs on their lands, and defending their eternal hold on the courts.

The Crane were hurt by the Fourth Yasuki War, but they were able to recover quickly thanks to the timely intervention of the Miya’s Blessing. The clan has opted to move on from the Yasuki War by largely ignoring the Crab Clan. Ultimately, this means that the status quo has been reestablished, and the Crane prefer to keep it that way.

==The Crane’s views on the other clans:==
  
*'''Crab:'''  When all you have is a hammer, all of your problems appear as nails.
+
*'''Crab:'''  Big, brutish oafs… but with an important duty. Leave them alone for now, we do not need old wounds to be brought back up.  
*'''Dragon:'''  If you cannot find another Kakita with whom to test your iai, a Mirumoto will suffice.
+
*'''Dragon:'''  Their insistence on staying in their mountains will ultimately harm their ability to be relevant. Concern yourself with them only if they give you cause to.
*'''Lion:''' If only the joke about the Akodo who declared war against his undercooked rice were a fiction…
+
*'''Lion:''' We have traditionally been enemies, because of an event the Lion choose never to forget. It is never bad to have an opportunity to show our superiority over them, but do not draw their ire so much that they feel the need to show their ability to make war.
*'''Mantis:'''  Their great wealth comes from taxing the chip on their shoulder. Still, do not shrink from hiring them; thier reliability is never in question.
+
*'''Mantis:'''  Their love of koku makes them easily manipulated. They are little more than tools, when push comes to shove.
*'''Phoenix:''' They strive for peace and civility within the Empire, even in tumultuous times, just as we do.
+
*'''Owl:''' The children of Hantei Okucheo are amusing and useful. Their courtiers are rather effective, to be sure. But their insistence in remaining neutral at all costs makes them unreliable allies. Perhaps one day we can make them change.
*'''Scorpion:'''  Their penchant for dishonor makes them predictable and, given the right bait, easily manipulated.   
+
*'''Phoenix:''' We have long been friends with the Phoenix, and there is no reason to change this consideration.
*'''Unicorn:'''  Our long-lost cousins. Their ways are strange, but they work for peace, and to that end make excellent allies.
+
*'''Scorpion:'''  Our dark mirror. Close when it’s convenient for them to be, but never to be trusted. Never forget that a Scorpion only seeks to sting.   
*'''Minor Clans:'''  They make excellent allies and distractions.
+
*'''Unicorn:'''  We have been friends with them essentially since their return. They are odd, but forthcoming allies and good friends. Hopefully the return of the Shinjo to prominence will remind them of the importance of tradition.
*'''Ronin:'''  Ignore the spectacle, ignore the spectacle....
+
*'''Minor Clans:'''  The Suzume were created from us, and we should watch them as such. They are a painful reminder of the past, but a necessary one.
 +
*'''Ronin:'''  Some of them are perfectly reasonable bodyguards in a pinch. One would far prefer a Daidoji

Status of the Crane Clan:

Crane.png

The Crane were hurt by the Fourth Yasuki War, but they were able to recover quickly thanks to the timely intervention of the Miya’s Blessing. The clan has opted to move on from the Yasuki War by largely ignoring the Crab Clan. Ultimately, this means that the status quo has been reestablished, and the Crane prefer to keep it that way.

The Crane’s views on the other clans:

  • Crab: Big, brutish oafs… but with an important duty. Leave them alone for now, we do not need old wounds to be brought back up.
  • Dragon: Their insistence on staying in their mountains will ultimately harm their ability to be relevant. Concern yourself with them only if they give you cause to.
  • Lion: We have traditionally been enemies, because of an event the Lion choose never to forget. It is never bad to have an opportunity to show our superiority over them, but do not draw their ire so much that they feel the need to show their ability to make war.
  • Mantis: Their love of koku makes them easily manipulated. They are little more than tools, when push comes to shove.
  • Owl: The children of Hantei Okucheo are amusing and useful. Their courtiers are rather effective, to be sure. But their insistence in remaining neutral at all costs makes them unreliable allies. Perhaps one day we can make them change.
  • Phoenix: We have long been friends with the Phoenix, and there is no reason to change this consideration.
  • Scorpion: Our dark mirror. Close when it’s convenient for them to be, but never to be trusted. Never forget that a Scorpion only seeks to sting.
  • Unicorn: We have been friends with them essentially since their return. They are odd, but forthcoming allies and good friends. Hopefully the return of the Shinjo to prominence will remind them of the importance of tradition.
  • Minor Clans: The Suzume were created from us, and we should watch them as such. They are a painful reminder of the past, but a necessary one.
  • Ronin: Some of them are perfectly reasonable bodyguards in a pinch. One would far prefer a Daidoji
