Bandits

Bandits are a plague in any society and Rokugan is no exception. They are armed men, often organised in groups, who engage in criminal and violent activities. Most of the times, they rob travelers, peasants or city dwellers, under threat of violence. Bandits come from all casts of Rokugan and range from ronin who have found this a dangerous but lucrative way of life, to armed heimin who see this has a better lot than working hard in the fields to pay their taxes. Some bandits also have a day job, providing them with a useful cover. Some bandit groups are manipulated by Rokugan factions such as the Kolat, for instance.
