Ember Wolf

The Ember Wolf's words, "the Fire Burns" is an image of their tenacity, loyalty and cunning.

Their colors are red and grey.

The Clan Daimyo, Bayushi "Scorpion" Shoju, rules over the Houses of Bayushi, Shinjo and Rengoku.

The Ember Wolf is the least favorably seen of the Clans, both the least present at the Courts of the King-Kami and the least implicated in the quarrels and politics of other clans. It it the clan that has had the most contact with the exterior, but it is also the clan that is the least likely to adopt a visitor, chosing each Ember Wolf with extreme consideration.

The Clan's recent history is marred by the Yogi no Baloo Purge and its outcome, the Sentencing of the Tamed Wolf. After the Butcher of Yogi no Baloo led a deadly raid in the dead of night against an unsuspecting House Baloo and slaughtered them to the last, the Hand of the Kami's judgement was seen as almost lenient. But Bayushi Shoju's judgemenent would be harsher and unforgiving; the man that would come to be known as the Scorpion challenged his father the Clan Daimyo and beheaded him. He then challenged every other House daimyo and beheaded them also.

The Scorpion had stung the Ember Wolf. The Wolf that would rise up from this wound would be purged, strong and fierce.
