====The Destruction of the Raven Scholars====
While a number of smaller Daoist schools have managed to survive the hegemony of -- and persecution from -- the Eight Mountain Sect, the Raven Scholars did not.  Never loved by the 'orthodox' (the Scholars would've said: "power-besotted") Eight Mountain Daoists, whom they never tired of accusing of betraying the Dao; nor by the Confucians, who saw them as outright anarchists; nor by the Imperial bureaucracy, who saw them as a source of insurrection; they met their end during the waning days of the Great Proscription.<br><br>
While most think of the Buddhists as the victims of the Proscription -- and, as a rule, they were -- the Eight Mountain Sect also took advantage of their access to state power to persecute their rivals.  Some say it was the Minders of the Way, the fanatical cadre of Eight Mountain Priests, who petitioned for the elite Brocade Guard to destroy the Raven Scholars; others maintain that the impetus came from within the government, and the Way-Minders were enlisted only to disguise the real reason behind the attack.  The truth, if it exists, is known only by a few, none of whom are inclined to tell.  Whatever the reason, the destruction came quickly and brutally.  The Brocade Guard units used their deadly scorpion crossbows to rain death on the unsuspecting priests, and silent assassins flooded the Raven School to finish off the rest.

'''The Revenge of the Raven Scholars'''
*You bear the weight of the melancholy of losing your friends and mentors, but are driven on by the flame of vengeance that burns in your heart.  Work with your Sage to develop a Minor Paired Passion Condition; either element may be the hyperactivity, but one should reflect melancholy, and the other vengefulness.
*'''2+ Fortune''': You recognize an NPC as one who participated on the assault on the Raven School!  The cost of this option depends on the importance of the NPC and their role in the attack.
*'''2 Fortune''' (location): The site of the Raven School in a now run-down ward in Persiatown has never been completely torn down or rebuilt; a ruined shambles still stands there, and those who live nearby give it wide berth.  For you, however, it is still home.  While on your 'home turf', you always Laugh At the attacks of others.
*'''5 Destiny/Victory''': As far as you know, you are the sole survivor of the massacre of the Raven Scholars -- but you have found, or will find another!
*'''5 Fortune''': You have stumbled onto some clue regarding the truth of the destruction of the Raven Scholars.  Who was truly behind it, what was their agenda, and what did they gain?  Perhaps you will learn that some truths are best left undisturbed ... .
