Temple of the First Wasp

The Temple of the First Wasp is the only one in Mantis lands completely dedicated to ancestor worship. It is located in the village of Houritsu Mura. Despite the fact that most believe it to be dedicated to Tsuruchi, it is in fact devoted to a Crane Magistrate named Doji Ietomi, who was known for hunting down a high-profile Otomo murderer despite the man's political powers. The Crane and Imperial Families wanted to forget the incident, but he is honored as a paragon of duty by the Mantis. Many of the Tsuruchi who worship here choose prominent past Rokugani heroes- especially Kitsuki and Doji magistrates- to revere since the Mantis families are not as long-lined or well-defined as those of other Major Clan families.
