Legends, Myths and Tales

The following is a list of recorded phrases that have been attributed to, or that mention, members of the Unicorn Clan. Though we are not as refined as the Crane, or as wise as the Phoenix, our words hold wisdom if you look for it.




Scorpion Clan Coup
Bayushi Shoju:
- The mighty steeds of the Unicorn will be useless. All I need is a single night to prepare. My shugenja will make certain that every leg is broken in deep and hidden holes once they decide to charge my defenses. (Stables)
Matsu Agetoki:
- The steeds of the battlemaidens burned with a fire that gleamed like the moon on a misty night. (Wings of Fire)
Otaku Kamoko:
- Strings? Pah! Give me music that fires the soul! (Heartbeat Drummers)
The Unicorn's Charge, Part 1:
- "How could they have gotten here so soon?" Shoju asked. But by now the point was moot. The Unicorn had arrived - and they arrived three days ahead of Shoju's schedule. (Light Cavalry)
The Unicorn's Charge, Part 2:
- And as the Unicorn charged, Shoju's shugenja improvised a quick spell to stifle their advance. He prayed it would be enough to prepare a counter attack. (Light Infantry)
The Unicorn's Charge, Part 3:
- "The damnable beasts are flying!" Shoju cried as he watched the Otaku battle-maidens erupt into a moon-lit fire and fly above his troops towards the walls of Otosan Uchi. (Medium Cavalry)
The Unicorn's Charge, Part 4:
- When the Otaku reached the wall, Soshi Bantaro activated the magics slumbering deep within the living stone. The battle-maidens screamed as lightning arced from the walls, burning them in mid-air, causing them to fall like cinders and Shoju's infantry counterattacked the surprised - and defenseless - Unicorn infantry. (Medium Infantry)
Historical information:
- Yokatsu pushed them forward through the day and night... and they loved him all the more. (Arrival of the Unicorns)
- Shoju's advance scout ran into the courtyard. "The Unicorn!" he shouted breathlessly. "The Unicorn are here!". (Scout)
- The Moto charged and cut off the Scorpion cavalry in half, leaving them naked for the second charge... from the Otaku battle maidens. (Cavalry Raiders)
- The Unicorn's attack was swift, but they did not expect Scorpion cavalry to their flank, as if they stepped from the shadows... (Outflank)
