Dragon of Water

From L5r: Legend of the Five Rings

The Dragon of Water represents strength, change, movement and warfare. These traits make the Dragon of Water a favorite of the Unicorn Clan and the Lion Clan. The Dragon of Water is the least fond of mortals of all of the dragons. This may attribute to the harsh storms and tsunami that plague the coast of Rokugan. The Dragon of Water remembers what happened to the Dragon of Air because it helped the humans, and it makes a point to never let the Dragon of Void forget the reward for sacrificing yourself for humans. (F&W, p. 75)

The Dragon of Water frequently changes form, alterning between themes of coils, talons and fins. (Dragon p. 84)

[edit] Kaneka

The Dragon of Water acted when it became aware of the geisha Hatsuko and the unborn son of Toturi. Following the birth of Kaneka the Dragon removed the infant and his mother from the mortal realm so that the existance of the child would not interfere with Toturi's destiny. Almost a decade later the Dragon returned Hatsuko and the still infant child to the mortal realm. It wiped Hatsuko's mind of Toturi and allowed the mother to raise the child in a small hut in Shinomen Mori. Over twenty years later, in 1154, the Dragon revealed itself to Kaneka and told him about what it had done and who his father was. ([1])

[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.^[1]
