Five Rings, Five Clans
In the year 521 Eiji was orderd by the Lion Clan Champion Akodo Kento to contact the monk Gorinno, the spiritual leader of the religious movement known as the Five Rings, Five Clans. The monk had suggested the Empire was unbalanced, and the solution was to merge the Crane and Scorpion Clans. The peasant revolts of the previous year had convinced Kento that Gorinno's teachings could be used against both Great Clans. Gorinno and Kento soon became friends.
