Kyuden Kakita

All of Rokugan knows that the House of Kakita or Kyuden Kakita has been cursed for more than centuries. Whenever a child is born in Kyuden Kakita, irregardless of their station in life, the castle gates are thrown open. Four centuries ago, an unknown Grand Master of the Elements placed a powerful curse upon Kyuden Kakita (The reason for this curse is also unknown). It has been said that any child surrounded by walls ever drew steel, the blades of the Crane would turn against the castle and it will fall. This prophecy was fulfilled during the Clan War, when the Crab ransacked the castle. The curse is still there unitl now. The son of Kakita Noritoshi was the most recent victim and many Kenshinzen take it as a bad omen that Lord Noritoshi's son will never touch steel.
