Kolat

The Kolat is a secret society originally dedicated to the downfall of the Hantei family. The founders believed that mankind should rule itself, and a god declaring himself ruler over them was unacceptable. For over a thousand years, the Kolat plotted the downfall of the Hantei line.

Kolat Purges
Toturi I made extensive efforts to purge Rokugan of Kolat influence. In addition, the Kami Shinjo purged the Unicorn Clan of Kolat influence, leaving her family in shambles and placing the Moto family in charge of the Clan.

Current Status
The Kolat were believed to have sacrificed themselves in the War Against the Shadow, however evidence of their existence persists, including a sleeper agent exposed before Toturi III by Yasuki Hachi. In addition, there is a sister group of Kolat within the Burning Sands known as the Qolat; this group was largely unaffected by the purges in Rokugan and continue to operate as normal.

Holdings
Unknown to Rokugan, the Kolat maintain their ancient stronghold, the Hidden Temple, deep within what used to be Phoenix Clan lands. The area around the temple is now controlled by the Ox Clan, whose champion, Morito, is a Kolat Master. (3E p. 295)
