Revision as of 20:27, 7 April 2011
Isha
The Isha was a Naga Hunter [1] of the Greensnake Bloodline. [2]
Weapon
The Isha's bow was a yumi which was believed to have been once wielded by the great naga hero Qatol. [3]
Slumber and Death
The Isha came to slumber in the naga city of Nirukti, home of the Greensnakes. The son of the Isha, lead scout of the Greensnakes, had been visiting distant Siksa when the sleep came to their people. [2] Troops of the Emperor Hantei XI destroyed the city [2] [4] and the slept Isha was killed. [2]
The new Isha
The son of the Isha was one of the few members of his bloodline to survive, [2] and was one of the first naga to wake from the Great Sleep and enter Rokugan during the Clan War. [1] He found Nirukti destroyed, took up his [Isha's Yumi|father's bow]] and title, becoming the new Isha. [2] He was also one of the first to come into contact with humans, most notably Mirumoto Daini. The two became companions in arms during the Clan War, fighting many battles together.[citation needed]
Daini and the naga army eventually joined the ronin army of Toturi the Black. Isha was then sent by Toturi to the East to aid Crane with half of the naga army. [5] [6]

Isha, the Qamar
Isha fought alongside Daini on the Second Day of Thunder in 1128, and was witness to the Qamar's death at the hands of a necromancer. Isha immediately picked up the Qamar's spear and continued his leadership, revealing to Daini afterwards that he was now the new Qamar. [7]
- For further information on this section, please see Qamar#New Qamar
Hidden Emperor
In 1132 Isha, Ralish, Malekish and Balash were near Morikage Castle following Hoshi, to protect him until his fate could come. They felt the Lying Darkness inside Morikage Mori. [8] They fought the minions of the Nothing, and when Malekish sensed Otaku Kamoko, Isha commanded Balash to bring her. Isha believed she could rescue the kidnapped Emperor Toturi I, and could help the Naga to tell him about the Foul. Malekish also sensed Kamoko to be tainted, but it was strange almost separate from her own soul, as if another mind hid within her own. The Akasha sensed Kyoso no Oni's soul within the body of Kamoko. [9]
Morikage Castle
Morikage
The naga carried Kamoko, with her mind still hovered in a half-lucid dream. A Mantis archer, Tsuruchi, stepped in and stop, saying confused words regarding his haunting party. When Kamoko awake the minions of the Shadow began their attack. The Naga gifted Tsuruchi Crystal Arrows and the Mantis fired the faceless. After a sudden explosion not too much far, the naga realized Hoshi had made his way out of the forest, and the group retreated to the Morikage Castle. [10]
Rescue of Toturi
Inside the castle Tsuruchi saw a shadow and fired it, to realize he had wounded the bloodspeaker Jama Suru, who had Otaku Xieng Chi as a hostage. A Goju appeared and teared some shoji screens to ruin, revealing a chained man stood in the center of the room, Toturi I. The minions of the Shadows attacked the naga group, and the sorcerer. Suru released Xieng Chi and began to chant, while the Otaku released the Emperor from his chains, and the rest fought the Goju. Suru created a hole in the floor of the castle and many Goju fell through it. Xieng Chi was saved to fell to death by Balash. While the Goju were rallying, Suru, Xieng Chi and Toturi magically departed with a maho spell empowered with Kamoko's blood. Tsuruchi was the last to escape from the castle, and the group survived after they were found by a Mantis patrol led by Yoritomo himself, who had entered the forest with their Ikoma allies to find what had occurred to Tsuruchi and his men. [10]
Yakamo
Qamar knew Hida Yakamo had perished after his people abandonment of Shiro Hiruma. He commanded the Shashakar to locate the Jade Hand with his magical divination powers. The Hand laid near the Black Finger River, and Oseuth was dispatched to recover it. He returned with an unexpected prize, the corpse of Yakamo. [11] After Amaterasu died the Celestial Order was imbalanced, and Shashakar decided to solve it sacrificing himself to return Yakamo to life, and at the same time reddeming the Naga's betrayal of the Crab. What returned was not merely Yakamo but also the reincarnation of the Qatol, leader of the Naga. [12]
Stepping Down
Seeking to make amends for his failures, the Qamar passed his title to another and became the Isha once more. [2]
Death
While other Naga returned to their slumber, he remained awake, fighting beside the Crab Clan during the War of Spirits. He perished in battle, fighting beside Yakamo's nephews, repaying his debt to those he had wronged. [2]
Legion of the Dead
His only regret was that his lost son, Kazaq, would never know the Akasha's embrace again. Upon learning that his son's restless spirit had come to join the Legion of the Dead, following a vision that might lead to his reunion with the Akasha, the Isha's spirit has ventured forth from the Akasha as well, answering Matsu Goemon's call.
