Description
The Mantis Clan is a minor clan that consists of rugged sailors that have developed from a loose knit alliance of merchants, ronin, and members of the Great Clans that were cast-out for various reasons. They operate primarily off the coastline of mainland Rokugan, while maintaining their own holdings in the Islands of Silk and Spice, which are located to the South-East of the mainland. Great Clans have historically hired the Mantis Clan as mercenaries and pirates, with the Crane Clan having been a major client. With the tsunami having ravages the Crane Clan, and the turmoil caused by it the Mantis Clan as of late have been looking elsewhere for new allies. The Mantis clan, along with the Unicorn Clan, are one of the few clans that have had a large amount of interaction with foreign cultures. As a minor clan that has risen up from the dregs of society they are not quick to look down upon those of a lower station in Rokugani society.[1]
Major Families
- The Families of the Fleet: Due to complex historical issues the Mantis Clan do not have a family name. Instead its samurai all belong to the Mantis Clan fleet, as such they take on the names of the ships they sail with as their family name. Mantis Clan samurai who reside on the land instead are known by the port where they reside.[1]
Castles and Holdings
- Kyuden Gotei: Kyuden Gotei is a grandiose, even garish castle located on Gotei Island. It is the traditional home of the Mantis Clan Champion and it is made of stone that has been quarried from the island. The wooden sections are made from the island's exotic tropical trees rather then the trees of the mainland. The roof tiles are also different from the mainland in that these tiles are copper instead of clay. The interior is wide, tall, and open, allowing for ample airflow in the tropical climate. Throughout it is decorated in semi-precious stones, gold, and silver plating. Tropical birds, flowering plants and the like can also be found within the castle.[2]
