Emma-O

Emma-O is the Fortune of Death, judge of the underworld, and has ever been the keeper of Meido, the Realm of Waiting. (Phoenix p. 31)

Since Moto Chagatai's rescue of his grandfather, Moto Gaheris, from the Shi-Tien Yen-Wang, Emma-o has ruled Meido in conjunction with the Lords of Death. This co-rulership was negotiated by Kitsu Hisashi when he came across the Shi-Tien Yen-Wang fighting against The Fortune of Death. Part of the agreement is that if the Lords of Death ever break their oath to not harm Rokugan, the souls of the Lion Clan will be tortured in the Realm of Waiting for all time.
