Unicorn Clan (TCG)

The Unicorn Clan, the Clan of the Wind which was formerly known as the Ki-Rin Clan, was one of the seven Great Clans, founded by the Kami Shinjo. They were an aggressive, practical, and nomadic clan that had mastered the arts of mobility and warfare.

Families of the Unicorn Clan
The Unicorn consisted of five families, the Utaku, the Ide, the Iuchi, the Moto, and the Shinjo family, which was the ruling family.

Duty
For 800 years the Ki-Rin Clan had journeyed beyond Rokugan's borders, in search of external threats to the Emerald Empire. In these foreign lands, the clan learned to adapt, to do whatever it took to survive. The clan eventually returned to Rokugan, renamed as the Unicorn Clan, its members wearing fur, speaking foreign tongues, wielding strange weapons, and drawing upon the kami using sorcery known as meishōdō. Of all the clans, they are best suited to uncovering foreign manipulation and infiltration, for they faced innumerable horrors and traitors in their wandering years.

Colors
The Unicorn was mostly identified with purple and white colors.

Return
The Clan of the Wind return was greeted as a barbarian invasion, and they were forced to break through the defenses mounted by the Crab and Lion clans. Their hordes entered Rokugan through the Shadowlands, punching a hole through Crab defenses and making their way past the Kaiu Wall into the heart of the Empire itself. Eventually they were accepted, and even an ancient treaty with the Crane was honored, providing the Unicorn a strong ally within the Empire. Reintegrating into Imperial society had been a challenge.

Customs
The Unicorn had different customs than the other rokugani clans as a result of the time they passed outside the bounds of the Empire, wielding foreign weapons like scimitars and their focus on cavalry. Following Rokugani traditions they established the Five Wind Court, to deal with courtly matters.
