Dragon of Void

From L5r: Legend of the Five Rings

The Dragon of Void is a great Dragon from Tengoku. It represents the element of Void and is the most mysterious of all Dragons. It appears in the dreams of heroes, but none can remember in what form.^[1]

[edit] Oracles

For its existence the Dragon of Void had only one Oracle, which was neither Light nor Dark, according to the neutral nature of the Void. This began to change already in 1133, when the Oracle of Void at the time Isawa Kaede began tipping the balance of Void in favor of Tengoku because of her connection with her husband, Emperor Toturi I. The Dragon warned her that there would be consequenses if she could not remain netural.^[2] However, in 1160, Kaede held the Imperial Throne as regent after the death of her husband. This act caused the celestial balance to shift sufficiently to force the Oracle of Thunder Tonbo Toryu to become the Dark Oracle of Void.^{[citation needed]}

[edit] The Will of Heaven

In 1170, the Dragons, tired of Man's rule of the Heavens, exerted their will upon Tengoku. The Seven Fortunes allowed the Dragon of Jade and the Dragon of Obsidian to replace Hida Yakamo as Lord Sun and Hitomi as Lord Moon respectively. The other Dragons, save the Dragon of Thunder, left mankind to cement their power.^[3]
