Moto Curse

The Moto Curse was enacted by the Shi-Tien Yen-Wang, the vengeful Moto Clan gods, upon the Moto family, descendants of the Ujik-hai who joined the Rokugani Ki-Rin Clan.

The Shi-Tien Yen-Wang captured the soul of Moto, the first follower of the Kami Shinjo. Although they could not find their wayward followers, the Shi-Tien Yen-Wang used Moto's soul to maintain a kharmic connection with the Moto family, resulting in the curse that afflicted the family after their return to Rokugan.

Upon the completion of Shiro Moto, the Shi-Tien Yen-Wang knew exactly where to find the Moto at all times. They planned to take the soul of the Khan, Moto Gaheris, to preserve their strength. Using Naga magic, Moto Chagatai and Moto Chen followed Moto Gaheris on his way to Meido, and stood against the Lords of Death, proposing a compromise: the Shi-Tien Yen-Wang would cease terrorizing the Moto, and the Lords of Death would become Minor Fortunes in Rokugan. The Shi-Tien Yen-Wang were impressed with Chagatai, who reminded them of the Ujik-hai's old ways, and accepted his offer.
