Right Hand of the Emperor

The Right Hand of the Emperor was the official title of a Great Clan, with the duties of serving at the Emperor's army and enforcers. In times of strife, it was the Right Hand that brought about peace through force of arms. In times of invasion by foreign powers, it was the Right Hand that defended Rokugani borders. Traditionally this had been the role of the Lion Clan, the Imperial Legions, and the Seppun Imperial Guard.
