Yajinden's Scrolls

Perhaps the most infamous of Iuchiban's servants was the dread artificer Daigotsu Yajinden. His perversion of the Crane's crafting skills using the dark magic of maho created the powerful Bloodswords as well as other dark artifacts that plague the Empire to this day. Like many shugenja, the scholarly Yajinden kept maticulous notes.These scrolls were thought destroyed in battle that laid Iuchiban low the first time, but they were instead collected by the Council of Five and brought to Gisei Toshi. They have remained in the Temple of Ebisu for centuries as the Isawa sought to undo the Bloodsword's influence. To this day, none have had the bravado or reckelessness to study the scrolls for nore than a week before refusing to go further.
