Editing Nezumi (section)

====Property====
As mentioned above, nezumi tribes are communalistic, placing no value on personal possessions; the belongings of a tribe's members are expected to be shared for the good of the tribe, and stealing or hoarding are bad deeds that demand punishment.

This doesn't mean that nezumi don't understand what theft is, as many Rokugani assume. Instead, the nezumi view of theft is based upon their pragmatism and tribal culture: stealing from outsiders is no crime - getting caught doing so, that's another story. Furthermore, having no belief in either afterlife or kami, the Rokugan beliefs of grave-goods and shrine offerings make no sense to the nezumi; the dead don't need physical goods anymore, and the gods certainly don't need material goods. As such, they have no qualms about looting the dead or shrines.

That said, practicality rules; nezumi "scrounge" only what they need and then move on. Furthermore, they rarely steal from allies; friendship is a far greater benefit to the tribe than a few physical goods. Nezumi only openly steal from friends or allies if that friendship comes to an end.
