The Oracle of the 9th century[]
In the 9th century, shortly after the Return of the Ki-Rin, the Oracle of Water met with Isawa Gojundo and a Unicorn Clan samurai. The Unicorn, accustomed to gaijin tales of dragons as mindless beasts to be hunted, drew the ire of the Oracle and was unmade. His eradication was so complete that his parents did not remember that they had a son. [2]
Flight of the Dragons[]
In 1127 during the Clan War, several Black Scrolls were opened, disturbing the Celestial Order. The Elemental Dragons withdrew from Rokugan and their Oracles went into hiding. The Oracles of Darkness twisted the power of a different element releasing the Elemental Terrors, whose spawn appeared elsewhere. Decided to counteract their corrupted counterparts, Asako Shingon and Iuchi Yogosha were brought to create a set of Elemental Nemuranai. The Oracles rested knowing the balance had been achieved. [3]
Gunsen of Water[]
This year the Elemental Nemuranai of Water, the Gunsen of Water, was delivered to Bayushi Goshiu. It was an Elemental Nemuranai blessed by the Elemental Dragons, which had been crafted to restore the celestial balance broke with the creation of the Terrors. The Elemental Terror of Fire, Taki-bi no Oni, had been raiding caravans in its quest to find the gunsen. At Otosan Uchi the Oracle of Water disguised as a diplomat to approach a group of samurai, who were tasked to defeat the oni, and Goshiu bestowed temporarily the gunsen to them. [4]
Return of the Hare[]
Despite their disappearance, it was said that the Oracle of Water was seen in the first month of 1128 above the ruins of Shiro Usagi and announced the return of the Hare Clan. [5]
