Tortoise Clan (TCG)/Meta

RPG Information
Tortoise Clan (Ring Increase: Air +1; Skill Increase: Commerce +1; Status 25)

Tortoise merchants acted like mere peasants (and often behaved and dressed like them), ignoring the open contempt from other samurai. Most clans simply ignored them, though Tortoise connections to the smuggling of gaijin goods were an open secret in many areas. All the while, the Tortoise secretly served the Emperor by controlling and limiting such smuggling and gathering intelligence on gaijin activities.
