Descrição
The Lion Clan’s Ikoma family is known for its bards, who shed the tears and express the emotions that stoic warriors cannot. However, this family also serves another purpose: hidden among the bards and other entertainers it produces, it also trains a small number of students in stealth, political subterfuge, and even battlefield sabotage. These are the Ikoma Shadows.
Ikoma Shadows infiltrate enemy camps in wartime and enemy castles in peacetime, stealing or altering messages, putting twisted truths in the right ear, and inflaming tensions between other clans. Their work is not exactly honorable, but most see their role as necessary and justified. War is an ugly affair, and prolonging it uglier still. Most Ikoma Shadows are unwilling to cross certain lines—such as the use of lethal poisons or the assassination of helpless targets—but if making an enemy general sick ends a battle quickly or ambushing an officer who has ventured far afield breaks the enemy’s offensive, most don’t lose sleep over it.
