Taki (shugenja)

Taki was a shugenja who retired to a remote location on a mountainous area of the Empire. A withered old man, he used to stand in a center square surrounded by villagers, to challenge passers-by to a wrestling match. He and other villagers had hit upon the idea of using Spiritual Presence spell to bilk these strangers out of their money. By defeating an obviously superior foe and by having the other villagers clean up by placing bets on him, the shugenja ensured prosperity in an area where natural resources are scarce.
