Dragon Clan
The Dragon Clan controls the mountains to the north of the empire. They are aloof and removed from the affairs of the other clans, preferring to reside in their mountain strongholds. Most of the land the Dragon Clan holds becomes completely cut off from the rest of the empire during the winter due to heavy snowfall. Their samurai use niten (two-strike style) in which combatants use both katana and wakizashi to execute very fast strikes in rapid succession. To many observers, the niten looks more like a dance than actual combat, however, niten is a deadly art requiring a great deal of skill and coordination. The clan families are Kitsuki, Mirumoto, Tamori, The Order of Tattooed Men (sub-divided into Togashi, Hitomi, and Hoshi families), and formerly the Agasha, who now swear allegiance to the Phoenix. The clan colors are emerald green and gold. Their founder was the Kami Togashi, who unlike his siblings remained alive in a vessal body for over 1000 years until he was killed by his brother Fu Leng on the second day of thunder. Notable Dragon clan members include
Agasha Tamori and Tamori Chosai, both Oracles of Fire, Mirumoto, the original Dragon Thunder, Hitomi, the second Dragon Thunder and formerly Lady Moon after the Death of Onnatangu Togashi Satsu, Former Dragon Champion, Grandson of Togashi and current voice of the Emperess Iweko I, formerly Kitsuki Iweko, Daymio of the Kitsuki and Current Emperess

Famous quotes containing the words dragon and/or clan:
“One dragon may breed nine different offspring.”
—Chinese proverb.
“We cannot think of a legitimate argument why ... whites and blacks need be affected by the knowledge that an aggregate difference in measured intelligence is genetic instead of environmental.... Given a chance, each clan ... will encounter the world with confidence in its own worth and, most importantly, will be unconcerned about comparing its accomplishments line-by-line with those of any other clan. This is wise ethnocentricism.”
—Richard Herrnstein (1930–1994)
