Tengu

ADVERSARY | CONFLICT RANK: Combat 2; Intrigue 2

Tengu are avian humanoids with large wings, part of an ancient race that predates the Empire. They do not age, although their lives can be cut short from violence or mishap. Their long years means they have had centuries to practice the sword and learn many of the hidden secrets of Rokugan. It is rare to encounter one, as they tend to lead solitary lives, but they do come forth when they detect humans worthy of their wisdom and training.
