Editing L5R Distant Thunder (section)

===The Emperor===
Hantei XXXVIII has, for the most part, kept the Empire at peace. His Miya heralds work tirelessly across Rokugan to diffuse tense situations, the Otomo carefully balance Clan against clan with a web of favours and debts, and his Seppun guards secure the Imperial City and lead a small standing army, the Imperial Legion.

Married four times, and four times a widower, despite the attentions of a number of Imperial concubines he has one heir, Hantei Sotorii.

====The Miya====
Daimyo Miya Yoto is an aging courtier, and a strong proponent of Imperial Edict enforced Peace. As Master of Heralds and Couriers he is one of the best-informed men in the Imperial City. His hunting birds are the envy of all, second in scope and pedigree only to the Emperor's birds.

====The Otomo====
There are no unkind words said about Daimyo Otomo Sorai. As he is one of the most powerful courtiers in the Empire, responsible for maintaining the treacherous balance of Clan power, and a confident of Hantei XXXVIII, this is a good measure of exactly how well he mixes cunning and charm.

====The Seppun====
Daimyo Seppun Daiori is a vigilant warrior, befitting the master of the Imperial Bodyguard. he is haughty and distant, known to shun mere buke and keep only the company of other kuge. He is regarded as one of the finest Go masters in the capital.
