Bat Clan

The Bat Clan is the newest minor clan, founded in 1165 by the order of Emperor Toturi III. Its founding member, Yoritomo Komori, is a half-spirit shugenja, his father a koumori. He was able to privately summon the spirit of the emperor's deceased sister, Toturi Tsudao. As a boon for his services and discretion, Komori was awarded that day with the title of Bat Clan Champion.

In the brief time since, Komori has been gathering followers and building his clan. Their primary goal at this time is to create a school for the clan. Because of the profession and nature of its founder, the Bat Clan's school will most likely become a shugenja school with a focus on summoning kami directly. Komori has also devoted a great deal of time to the study of magic that can be used to trasport samurai over great distances, and the school he eventually founds may incorporate this as well.
