The Prophesies of Uikku

The Ramblings of Uikku

"When the Phoenix burns brightly in the sky, it must leave half its soul in ashes upon the earth. In this way will the flames of the Five cover the Empire in brotherhood."

   The Isawa believed that these words foretold the magical knowledge of their family spreading throughout Rokugan, especially in the formation of the Asahina and the Yogo family. 

"A wolf shall sit upon the throne, and embrace the void."

   It was supposed a prophecy of marrying Toturi, whose banner was wolf, and Isawa Kaede, the Master of Void.  

"Insects of the sea, forest, and flame shall rule the open sea."

   This seemed to speak of the Mantis Clan's rise from the Mantis, Wasp, and Centipede Clans.  

"Those who shed the blood of gods will rise to glory and madness."

   This seemed to speak of Hitomi and Yakamo, the unpredictable Lady Moon and Lord Sun.  

"The purity of the Emerald Empire must not be adulterated lest the throne itself crack, and fall, and sever the trust of the Seven Great Clans and their Thunders."

   This seemed to speak of the duel between Akodo Toturi and Bayushi Shoju, which provoked a crack in the throne, the ensuing take of the Throne by Toturi, his fall after Hantei Sotorii took his heritage as Emperor, and the following Clan War, where the clans fought one against each other. 

"When Fu Leng shall rise again, the Children of Isawa shall become corrupt and fall, but one of their number shall be preserved. He shall know the truth of Shinsei's Way, and shall contemplate it through the fullness of all things. Then he shall teach the Masters the truth of Void."

   Isawa Koichi believed that an Ishi must leave the Isawa and become a monk or the entire family would be destroyed and become servants of Fu Leng

The Dooms of Uikku

The First Doom

"Of the Crane, a fallen foe will prove to be their undoing. They will be led astray by a deciever and the true hero will arise too late to save them."

The Second Doom

"The Lion Clan shall find that blind faith in the Throne leaves you blind to the need of the Empire."

The Third Doom

"The Tao of Shinsei is no guard against darkness. It is their pride that will blind the Phoenix to their downfall."

The Fourth Doom

"At the moment of their victory, that is when the Scorpion Clan shall learn the cost of dark alliances."

The Fifth Doom

"The Unicorn may be the masters of the Four Winds, but when the great wind comes, it shall be the saplings that fall before the great trees with deep roots."

The Sixth Doom

Lost to the passage of time.

The Seventh Doom

"They believe they have come to the Empire to assist against the Shadowlands, but it shall be this very action that will be their doom."

The Eighth Doom

"Of the Crab, it will be the return of an ancient hero that marks their doom. He will destroy the Crab Clan and everything for which they have fought."

The Last Prophecy of Uikku

"And when the second time of thunders arises, one Clan will fall and one Clan shall be redeemed."
