“Find your own path.”
For a thousand years, the Dragon Clan has watched over the others, recording the history of Rokugan. Aloof and enigmatic, the armies of the Dragon march only rarely, intervening in the clashes of the Great Clans for seemingly inscrutable reasons. From the strange and powerful Tattooed Monks of Togashi to the investigators who challenge the system of justice in the Empire, the Dragon seek to ensure the Empire does not become too self-focused and solipsistic. It falls to them to ensure that the future of the Empire transpires in an orderly and elegant manner.

Dragon Superstitions

Guests, random strangers, wandering monks, shugenja, and anyone who passes offers spirit catchers to hang on the home of an expecting mother to protect her during childbirth. These blessed strips of coiled paper are hung all over the home.

Dragon have no grave markers, instead their ashes are scattered in beautiful locations near a shrine or monastery, with records kept so those areas can be venerated.

Young maidens tell the future by sitting at a crossroads and stringing together the remarks of strangers who pass by. This is often done to determine who one's future spouse will be.

If a child draws a picture of his nightmares, a baku will come to eat the bad dreams. Though baku are often dangerous spirits, a visit from one is a good thing in this case.

A blacksmith should never let the fire die in his forge. If the forge absolutely must be cleaned, the fire must be removed on a torch and kept alive or the forge will never produce good steel again.

A child who does not cry when he is born will become a fearless and mighty warrior.

When meeting a ghost, speak politely. As long as you remain polite, the ghost will do the same. Bowing to a vengeful ghost will give it pause.

Saying the name of a dead murderer will attract the killer's ghost, unless one quickly prays to Jurojin for protection.

NOTE: A common Togashi pastime is inventing new superstitions and passing them on to the peasantry to see which ones catch on.
