Monastery of the Five Rings

The Monastery of the Five Rings was the first temple of the Order of the Five Rings.

Foundation
In the year 523 the Lion Clan Champion Akodo Kento ordered to build a monastery dedicated to the study of Gorinno's teachings, the religious leader of the movement known as Five Rings, Five Clans.

Tension Between Clans
As Gorinno proposed to merge the Crane and Scorpion Clans, both Great Clans saw his teachings as dangerous, but they were unable to prevent the monastery's construction. The Phoenix Clan led by the new Master of Void Isawa Amiku chose to establish supervision over the new monastic sect, leading to conflict with the Lion Clan in the courts, and border skirmishes on the ground.
