Rokugani society is based on a clan structure, with seven families descended from the Kami ruling over other
families descended from those who swore fealty. Over the centuries, each family has gravitated toward a certain
role or duty within the clan, although it’s common for families to trade promising students who show talent in an
area that differs from that of their ancestors. The Great Clans of Rokugan are diverse and powerful, dividing huge
swaths of the Empire between them and commanding many thousands of samurai from families great and small.
