Kyuden Otomo Dojo

The Kyuden Otomo Dojo is the dojo of the Otomo family. Since the first Hantei built his great city the Otomo protected the Emperor by subverting conspiracies among the clans. By keeping the clans in opposition against eachother they ensured that there was always someone who desperately needed the Emperor to keep the peace. Only twice in the history have the Otomo failed this duty. Once the group known as the Gozoku seized control of the Emperor, and second when the Scorpion Clan Champion Bayushi Shoju killed Hantei XXXVIII.

Training
There are very few warriors produced in the Otomo line, as children are taught from an early age to observe and manipulate those around them. There are few in the Empire who can gain as much information as an Otomo by casual observation. Even fewer can use the information to such ruthless and effective ends.
