Having been restored by Toturi in 1132, the clan has moved to reclaim their rightful place in Rokugan with speed unmatched.  Their population was ravaged by the wars and the Exile, but this only serves to further the other clans’ underestimation of the Scorpion forces.  While they openly work to reclaim their positions in the courts, the clan is also busy rooting out any last remnants of the Lying Darkness that might be hidden throughout Rokugan.

*'''Crab:''' Their adherence to Duty is commendable, except for that whole ‘Allied with the Shadowlands’ period.  Never let them forget it, but do not let them hear it from you.

*'''Crab:''' We cannot forget their duty to the Empire, but do not let that be an excuse for them to bully us. We have our duties as well, and if they are in our way, that is how it is.
*'''Crane:'''  Hypocrites who hide their sins behind smiles and fans.
+
*'''Crane:'''  They are us, but they don’t wish to admit it. Be wary of reminding them, as their assassins stand in public.
*'''Dragon:''' They do not judge us unfairly for the work we must do, and aided us in our Return. We would count you as a friend but will stay silent, for your sake.
+
*'''Dragon:'''   They have been friends, and they have been enemies. They are slow to act, and that makes them unreliable. But if they are stirred, they are as dangerous as any.
*'''Lion:'''  They make great attack dogs. Wind them up and point them at your enemies!
+
*'''Lion:'''  Their honor blinds them to what duty truly looks like. This makes them easy to manipulate, but be wary. A Matsu charge is in no Scorpion’s best interests.
*'''Mantis:''' What is your fee again, friend?
+
*'''Mantis:''' They puff out their chests in anger at perceived slights. And yet, we concluded our only business with them 200 years ago. If all they can do is puff their chests, they are no concern of ours.
*'''Phoenix:'''  Curious that the most maho-tsukai come from the clan who professes to hunt them. We are watching you.
+
*'''Owl:'''  They pretend to do our duty, and the Phoenix’s duty, and the Lion’s duty. That is all they are. Pretenders.  
*'''Unicorn:''' They feel that they have a lot to prove. Give them all the rope they need...   
+
*'''Phoenix:''' Those of our Kami’s twin fight between their need for peace and their own destructive nature. We have shown them that destructive nature, and perhaps now they can reserve their judgment.
*'''Minor Clans:'''  Where are the Hayseed Clan’s lands, again?  I must have overlooked it… 
+
*'''Unicorn:''' They do not belong and have never belonged. The Shinjo regaining control of their clan has changed nothing in this regard.   
*'''Ronin:'''  Why frame a ronin when you can blame a daimyo’s second son?  Still, they are occasionally useful for menial tasks.
+
*'''Minor Clans:'''  The Monkey have often been our friends, and we have helped them when we can. Beyond that, they are not worth our attention unless we need to move them somewhere.

*'''Ronin:'''  Tools.

Status of the Scorpion Clan:

Scorpion.png

The Clan of Bayushi has had a relatively quiet last few years. Though publicly they continue to put pressure on the Owl Clan, there has been very little active conflict involving the Scorpion since the War of the White Phoenix. The Scorpion prefer it this way, as the unnerving silence from them seems to give other clans pause.

The Scorpion’s views on the other clans

  • Crab: We cannot forget their duty to the Empire, but do not let that be an excuse for them to bully us. We have our duties as well, and if they are in our way, that is how it is.
  • Crane: They are us, but they don’t wish to admit it. Be wary of reminding them, as their assassins stand in public.
  • Dragon: They have been friends, and they have been enemies. They are slow to act, and that makes them unreliable. But if they are stirred, they are as dangerous as any.
  • Lion: Their honor blinds them to what duty truly looks like. This makes them easy to manipulate, but be wary. A Matsu charge is in no Scorpion’s best interests.
  • Mantis: They puff out their chests in anger at perceived slights. And yet, we concluded our only business with them 200 years ago. If all they can do is puff their chests, they are no concern of ours.
  • Owl: They pretend to do our duty, and the Phoenix’s duty, and the Lion’s duty. That is all they are. Pretenders.
  • Phoenix: Those of our Kami’s twin fight between their need for peace and their own destructive nature. We have shown them that destructive nature, and perhaps now they can reserve their judgment.
  • Unicorn: They do not belong and have never belonged. The Shinjo regaining control of their clan has changed nothing in this regard.
  • Minor Clans: The Monkey have often been our friends, and we have helped them when we can. Beyond that, they are not worth our attention unless we need to move them somewhere.
  • Ronin: Tools.
