The Dragon Clan is a clan of the Rokugan realm in the role play and the Five Rings card game.
We know very little about the Dragon Clan. It was founded, a thousand years ago, by Togashi, the son of the Sun and the Moon who refused to participate in the tournament to determine who would rule the world. His brother Hida saw this as an act of cowardice, but Hantei, in his wisdom, understood that Togashi did not want to participate in a tournament he already knew he would not win. Togashi then retired to the mountains and founded a monastery where he stayed for years. Only when three Samurai, Mirumoto, Kitsuki and Agasha joined him in his temple was the Dragon Clan really founded. All that is known since the clan of the Dragon is only speculation.
According to rumors, this clan has several secret orders. The members of one of them, the Ise zumi, who easily tattoo complex motifs, symbols and images, are easily recognizable. But if this practice is known, few know the reasons. The stories depicting Ise zumi leaping over horses, spitting fire or poison and changing shape at will are as numerous as entertaining. The shugenja of this clan are not less mysterious: they resort to powers of which no other shugenja can explain the origin and yet the shugenja of the other clans draw from their exchanges with those of the Dragon the conclusion that they do not understand the basic principles of magic. This clan and its members seem to permanently escape any definition.
This clan was also the first to teach the "two sword technique": the effectiveness of the Dragon Samurai katana / wakizashi combat technique is well known. And if the students of Kakita school make fun of it, it is more to preserve the honor of their school than by true lack of respect for this technique. Of all Samurai, it is considered that those of the Dragon clan most faithfully respect the principles of Rokugan's religion. They are literally, "monk-warriors", educated as much in the religious field as in the martial field: their bushis are very trained to fight alongside the shugenjas.
