Design Diaries: The Minor Clans Update

Hello all! Hope everyone is enjoying Shattered Empire, and is ready for more content, because it's coming very soon! But first, let's address the things included in the new update releasing today, which we've dubbed the Minor Clans update.

Why do we call it this? Well, for both consistency with other legal ShE cards that are from minor Clans, such as Heichi Tadama, and for future possible design or story angles, we felt it was necessary to go back and add Minor Clan affiliation keywords where necessary. This is in cards across Onyx Edition, RoJ, RtR, and ROU.

Then, we thought, it might be nice to give players flavorful "alternate templates" for each of these Minor Clans, akin to the Imperial borders, so that's what we did! The cards remain Unaligned, these are purely aesthetic options for those who want that little bit of flavor.

This includes 15 Personalities in total, including an Imperial border for Seppun Nanase and a Boar Clan border for Heichi Tochiko. We have also applied proper artist credit to these cards, where appropriate. Expect to see these minor clan/faction borders continue to be made available in the future, not just for these clans, but for others as well. For those who prefer the standard Unaligned frames, copies of those are also being made available.
