The Phoenix are in a difficult position.  The recent conflicts and wars have left their population on the brink of destruction, and even with the absorption of the Agasha family and the shugenja brought into the fold by Shiba Tsukune and the late Naka Kuro, the clan is still short-handed. While the land can be healed quickly through magic, children only grow so fast.  The clan has worked diligently with their allies, especially the Empress, to stave off the advances of both the Dragon and the Mantis in the last few years, fighting with words in place of steel.
+
In the wake of the War of the White Phoenix, the Phoenix have largely turned inward to contemplation. The Elemental Council has been in a state of flux, and due to this hasn’t committed itself to many firm decisions. This has allowed Phoenix Champion Shiba Korishima more freedom than most Phoenix Champions to set policy for the clan as a whole. The clan has shown signs that they could lead to true prosperity, were the right people in place to push it there…

==The Phoenix’s views on the other clans==
  
*'''Crab:''' They are the Empire’s yojimbo and should be treated with honor, even if they forget their Courtesy at times. Assist them whenever possible.  
+
*'''Crab:'''   When you know only war, you lose something of your soul. The Taint may not have taken them, but their own need for conflict may have harmed the Crab more than Jigoku ever could.
*'''Crane:'''  Our friends in the courts, they stand for peace and civility.
+
*'''Crane:'''  They have been our allies when we have needed it, but our relationship has not been as clear in the last several years. Clarification would be good.
*'''Dragon:''' They would be ideal allies, if they would but let go of their anger.
+
*'''Dragon:''' This relationship is one that has taken time to repair. Old wounds heal slowly, and our Gennai family has not forgotten their humiliation any more than the Dragon Agasha have. Still, with time, perhaps we might end this bad blood for good.
*'''Lion:'''  Honorable samurai who, on occasion, must be reminded that Compassion is a virtue as well.
+
*'''Lion:'''  When your charter is war, the idea of peace is anathema. So too it is with the Lion.
*'''Mantis:'''  Crass bullies who think only for themselves. If you wish to be treated like noblemen, act like it.  
+
*'''Mantis:'''  Money grubbing fools who see the kami as tools. They need to be shown that magic is not just about power.
*'''Scorpion:''' We seek knowledge in the light, they in the shadows. They walk a dangerous path.
+
*'''Owl:'''   Our curious newer neighbors speak in the name of peace. But do they do that for the greater good, or for their own preservation?
*'''Unicorn:''' They speak of peace, but does their adherence to foreign ways reflect a divided allegiance?  Only time will tell.  
+
*'''Scorpion:''' Our Kami’s twin has created a clan of liars and thieves. They created a war on false pretenses, and there is no doubt that they would do it again if offered the opportunity.
*'''Minor Clans:'''  Theirs is a difficult road. Help them whenever possible.
+
*'''Unicorn:'''   We are more like them than we like to pretend. The Shinjo family has tried to steer the family in a more traditional direction, but even with the Unicorn, change is hard. We must help guide them.
*'''Ronin:'''  What is a samurai without a master? 
+
*'''Minor Clans:'''  The Minor Clans are of little interest to us, or so we have traditionally felt. The rise of the Mantis proves that nothing is entirely sacred. Watch them, that another does not try to match Yoritomo’s ambition.
 +
*'''Ronin:'''  Wave-men have proven to be worthy in the past, as our current dynasty rose from the ashes of a wave man’s doom. It is a mistake to ignore them, but remember that few had Toturi’s devotion to bushido to guide them.

Status of the Phoenix Clan:

Phoenix.png

In the wake of the War of the White Phoenix, the Phoenix have largely turned inward to contemplation. The Elemental Council has been in a state of flux, and due to this hasn’t committed itself to many firm decisions. This has allowed Phoenix Champion Shiba Korishima more freedom than most Phoenix Champions to set policy for the clan as a whole. The clan has shown signs that they could lead to true prosperity, were the right people in place to push it there…

The Phoenix’s views on the other clans

  • Crab: When you know only war, you lose something of your soul. The Taint may not have taken them, but their own need for conflict may have harmed the Crab more than Jigoku ever could.
  • Crane: They have been our allies when we have needed it, but our relationship has not been as clear in the last several years. Clarification would be good.
  • Dragon: This relationship is one that has taken time to repair. Old wounds heal slowly, and our Gennai family has not forgotten their humiliation any more than the Dragon Agasha have. Still, with time, perhaps we might end this bad blood for good.
  • Lion: When your charter is war, the idea of peace is anathema. So too it is with the Lion.
  • Mantis: Money grubbing fools who see the kami as tools. They need to be shown that magic is not just about power.
  • Owl: Our curious newer neighbors speak in the name of peace. But do they do that for the greater good, or for their own preservation?
  • Scorpion: Our Kami’s twin has created a clan of liars and thieves. They created a war on false pretenses, and there is no doubt that they would do it again if offered the opportunity.
  • Unicorn: We are more like them than we like to pretend. The Shinjo family has tried to steer the family in a more traditional direction, but even with the Unicorn, change is hard. We must help guide them.
  • Minor Clans: The Minor Clans are of little interest to us, or so we have traditionally felt. The rise of the Mantis proves that nothing is entirely sacred. Watch them, that another does not try to match Yoritomo’s ambition.
  • Ronin: Wave-men have proven to be worthy in the past, as our current dynasty rose from the ashes of a wave man’s doom. It is a mistake to ignore them, but remember that few had Toturi’s devotion to bushido to guide them.
