Tactical Maneuvers

There is a reason the Crane have dominated the courts of Rokugan for generations. Their words cut deeper than a sword, and with beauty and grace, they can accomplish impossible feats. It is a mistake to underestimate the Left Hand of the Emperor, through shrewd negotiation and tactics their courtiers can take even the direst of situations and turn them into a victory.
