The latest Friday night story is by Shawn
Carman titled "Legacy". Temoru Finally Makes it Home Mirumoto Temoru survived a last minute attack
by bandits to finally return home after being
away for two years searching for the solution to Isawa's Last
Wish. Temoru's findings were
presented to Mirumoto Uso who immediately ordered new research
into the newfound city. Isawa is revealed to be a Yobanjin originating
from a settlement known as the City of Gold.
Temoru found Isawa's origins during his search for a solution
to neutralize the Last Wish.
It is now known to the Dragon that the Last Wish is a living
entity and that it was not unique.
The basic nature of nemuranai is also known to far different
than commonly thought. The
Dragon now believe that nemuranai are alive and could pose a
potential threat to the empire.
Thus the new emphasis on collecting and destroying these artifacts. Mirumoto Uso knew that the other clans would
not readily accept the new knowledge about
nemuranai and thus kept Temoru's discovery quiet. Also, the Dragon
had just concluded a
rancorous war with the Phoenix clan and did not want the Phoenix
to claim the City of Gold
as a province of the Isawa. An assassin has claimed the life of the Mirumoto
daimyo. The attack took place at night while Mirumoto Uso was
alone. Preliminary reports indicate that Uso was able to detect
his assailant and valiantly defended himself from the ninja before
succumbing. In his will, Uso named Mirumoto Rosanjin as his successor
since he had no heirs of his own. Rosanjin's promotion was accepted
by the Dragon Champion Togashi Satsu. One of Rosanjin's first act was to recognize
the loyalty and unfair burdens placed on Mirumoto Kenzo, the
son of the disgraced Mirumoto Junnosuke. Rosanjin promoted Kenzo
to gunso and given two dozen men for him to command. He was assigned
to travel to The City of Gold to inform Mirumoto Temoru of Uso's
death. Implied with new position and orders was the stipulation
to locate and destroy any nemuranai in Rokugan.

Recently Angelfire has started to place pop-up
banners on all it's free web sites. These new
pop-ups are designed so that there's no easy way of closing them.
Clicking on any part of
the ad directs you to the advertiser. I've opted in the past
to have the advertising at the top
and bottom of these pages because that makes it easier to format
the page. Unfortunately
these new ads don't work very well with web pages using frames. As a temporary measure, I'll try leaving a
blank space where the new banners show up so
that you can read the pages. Older pages will be left as they
were due to the huge effort it
would take to rewrite the last few years worth of code. Apologies
in advance if older pages
are now unreadable. Possible solutions to this problem include:
- hoping Angelfire / Lycos will fix the bug affecting frames
- paying to remove the advertisement
- moving to another host site
- asking people to use browsers that block pop-up advertising The first option is best but it's uncertain
when Angelfire / Lycos will get around to fixing it.
The second option is exactly what every free hosting site wants
you to do when the ads get
annoying enough. The difficulty is that this site is a
hobby done for fun and funding can
become a problem. I don't have the time or inclination
to go into business just to pay for
this site. Remember, this is a Mirumoto site, not
a Unicorn or Yasuki one.
Moving to another free hosting site always looks attractive at
first until you realize that it's
a lot of work and that this same situation can occur again
if the host's finances are tight.
Using a pop-up browser may be an option but many people either
aren't technically able
to install one OR they're not allowed to change the browser
if they don't own the computer. The answer to this riddle will be meditated
upon; for the time being expect to see funky
formatting as a quick fix.
