The Council of Elemental Masters was a group of great shugenja of the Phoenix Clan who denominated themselves as Elemental Masters, each one mastering one of the elements: Air, Earth, Fire, Water, and the Void. [1] These five preeminent shugenja each had learned from their predecessor. [2] They dressed in elaborate silk robes, with winged kataginu each marked with a different mon of an element captured within a perfect ring. [3]

Phoenix Rulers[]

The Elemental Masters guided the Phoenix Clan since its inception, [4] and these masters were almost always drawn from the Isawa. [5] They were protected by an elite cadre of hand-selected bushi, the Order of Chikai. [6] Elemental Masters usually met visitors in a subterranean chamber within the Grove of the Five Masters. [7]
