Doji Haruki

Doji Haruki was a Provincial Daimyo of the Crane Clan.

Thwarted Ambitions
Haruki served as a dutiful and ordinary minor daimyo of a small province in southern Crane lands who had never garnered the attention of his superiors. His career was at a standstill, and Haruki worried that his greater ambitions would never be realized.

Cursed Blade
During a Winter court at Kyuden Doji he met Seppun Ayumu, an Imperial daimyo with much greater political ties than his own. Ayumu took a fancy to Haruki and gifted him with the Daiori's Daisho, the blades held by the hero Seppun Daiori in the moment of his death, defending the Crane Embassy during the Scorpion Coup. Unbeknownst to Ayumu, Daiori had felt overwhelming anger and horror at the events around him, and the daisho was damned with a powerful curse. It brewed inside the daisho for years, feeding on the frustration of Haruki.
