Four Temples (TCG)

The Four Temples stood at the four corners of Kyūden Seppun, towering over it as their Chimes of Purity pealed out in harmony each hour of the day. Early copies of the Tao of Shinsei were kept there, a part in each temple. Valuable treasures were on display, but the most important and dangerous relics were locked away.

Founding
The Four Temples were founded by Seppun's four children, each with a different interpretation of her teachings and a differing opinion on what was the most important aspect of Shinsei. The bickering between the monks of these temples was legendary since then.

Spiritual Leader
The Grand Master of the Four Temples was sometimes seen to speak for the Brotherhood of Shinsei.

Emperor's Ears
Some said that monks of the Four Temples could be found in every court in Rokugan, spying on everyone, and passing everything on to the Emperor.
