Lion Warden

The Lion Wardens are a unit of the Ikoma family that patrols the major roads of Lion and Imperial territories, acting as Magistrates. Since the alliance between the Crane and Lion, the Ikoma have shared this duty with the Daidoji family to help ensure that the roads around Toshi Ranbo are safe.(MoW Pg. 101)

In addition to their duties as law enforcement agents, the Wardens also have the duty of patroling the Unicorn-Lion Borders, a duty of increased importance since the Clan's ongiong state of hostility with the Unicorn. Prior to the winter of 1168, the Khan made to minor incursions into Lion lands in preperation for his campaign. The Wardens failed to halt (or even detect) these incursions, a fact that brought shame upon the entire unit and resulted in the seppuku of many high ranking officers. (MoW Pg. 101)
