Hello, all! Today, we're going to delve into the lands of the enigmatic Dragon Clan, and what to expect from them and their themes in Three Dynasties.
The Dragon remain sequestered in their deeply fortified mountain enclaves, officially neutral in the ongoing conflict between those vying for control of the fractured remnants of Rokugan. Togashi Noboru and his large group of followers continue to fight on behalf of Iweko Miaka, however, and many believe this is done with the implicit consent of the Dragon's leadership, despite his claims of estrangement.
The opening of the Celestial gates has had a profound impact on the Dragon, as it heralded the long-promised return of the Celestial Wanderer, Togashi Hoshi, to the mortal realm. The badly injured Togashi Higaru has willingly stepped aside to assume a position as the leader of the Brotherhood of Shinsei within Dragon lands, and Hoshi has assumed his role once more as guardian and leader of his people.
The Mirumoto return to their militant roots in Three Dynasties, specifically the return of their Kensai theme, this time with a focus on synergy between their Personalities and the abilities on their weapons.
The Mirumoto here embody the soul of their blades, being able to share abilities held by their weapons, or vice versa. Having access to Weapons with abilities is what the Mirumoto want, though their Personalities are not without their own talents.
Kensai naturally require strong weapons to function well, and in Three Dynasties they have several options from which to choose.
Meanwhile, the monks of the Dragon still continue to serve the clan, now under the guidance of the enigmatic Hoshi Eisai, who has also returned from the Celestial Heavens to the mortal realm alongside her husband Hoshi.
The Tamori also return to their roots in Three Dynasties as a a defensive minded Honor deck.
Like many shugenja, the Dragon have found the opening of Tengoku has strengthened their prayers to the kami, and some of the mystic beings of myth have begun to align themselves with the people of the Celestial Wanderer,
