Descrição
(or gaijin equivalent) Is it worse to witness refinement and to lose it than to have never seen it? Fallen noble characters grew up with the culture, education, and politics of a noble house inundating everything they did. Whether they originally were from a Great Clan or were a noble in a land far from the borders of Rokugan, such a character has lost their status and rank to cowardice, corruption, accident, or political maneuvering. Some may still have land, wealth, a home, or a title, but their fall blocks them from benefiting from any of these resources.
Some fallen nobles grow bitter and turn inward, retreating to decadence and self-pity. Others become angry and vengeful, walking a grim path to punish those who have wronged them. Still others work single-mindedly to regain their status, placing themselves and their family into dangerous positions in minor courts, on the battlefield, and in commercial ventures, hoping for the opportunity to buy, coerce, or petition their way back to the position from which they fell. See Playing a Rōnin on page 87 of the core rulebook for details on fallen Great Clan samurai, or see Regional Options for Gaijin Characters on page 38 for information on gaijin cultures from which a fallen noble might hail.
