Damned

From L5r: Legend of the Five Rings

The Damned are those warriors within the Crab Clan who have become Tainted by the Shadowlands in combat and against their own will and seek to repay their dishonor. If a Crab warrior does not wish to commit seppuku for becoming Tainted he may instead join the Damned. The Damned are much like Deathseekers, only their rage is focused solely on the Shadowlands. A member of the Damned who dies in combat against the Shadowlands is redeemed and saved from Jigoku. ^{[citation needed]}

[edit] History

The Damned were founded in 716, during the Battle of the Cresting Wave. Since many Crab were tainted, Hida Banuken grouped them together in the final days of the siege. The Damned were the group that finally confronted and destroyed The Maw. Even with the objections of tsukai-sagasu Kuni Bakin that the Damned were too dangerous, the group was allowed to remain. Other Witch Hunters were placed in charge of the group and charged with keeping the unit's taint under control. Even to this day, the two groups resent each other. ^[1]
