Gift of the Emperor



The Gift of the Emperor was a tournament held by the Emperor Toturi I after he returned from his kidnapping.

Tournament
In 1132 Toturi held a contest to win a boon from the Jade Throne. All clans were invited to attend, each sending one candidate. The winner of the contest, a ronin entered by the Dragon Clan, was revealed to be Bayushi Aramoro in disguise.

Aramoro's request
Aramoro requested as his prize that his clan be allowed to retake their lands. Toturi signed an Imperial Edict, but Ryoko Owari was out of the agreement and would remain an Unicorn stronghold.

""Give me rule over the Scorpion lands, below the bloody waters of Mizu-Umi no Fuko.""

- Bayushi Aramoro

It was the beginning of the Dragon-Scorpion Alliance.
