Editing Crane Clan (section)

===Creating A Civilization===
Lady Doji was the first of her siblings to take one look at the world around them and see that the mere mortals had potential and merely needed a guiding hand.

After the tournament they held to determine who would rule, Doji arranged all the social codes and rules of etiquette which hold Rokugan together as much as they tie its hands. She also further defined the caste system of samurai and ''heimin'', crafted the Imperial Court and its economics, sponsored the fine arts...[[Grimdark|and probably erased the preexisting culture and art of Rokugan's native humans, which the histories conveniently gloss over]].

However, it's important to note that while she did leave behind a legacy of snobbery and social repression, Doji was also actually a pretty decent Kami when it came down to it. She did serve faithfully as a wise advisor to the Empire, and genuinely believed in the causes of promoting peace and uplifting the spirit through culture. In fact, she was chill enough to supposedly sit with a peasant and appreciate the ephemeral beauty of snowflakes, a tale which is uncommon even among the Crane.

Doji's star rose with the Empire she helped to shape. She served as Hantei's Imperial Advisor, and was betrothed to Kakita, the first Emerald Champion and founder of ''iaijutsu''. Their little cradle of civilization was blossoming just fine...until their long lost brother Fu Leng returned from the [[Chaos|Shadowlands]] and decided to throw a [[Horus Heresy|party]].
