Hall of Ancestors

From L5r: Legend of the Five Rings

The Hall of Ancestors is the most sacred site to the members of the Lion Clan. The grand shrine is the location in which the ashes of the greatest heroes in Lion history are interred. Also present are statues memorializing these heroes, as well as others whose ashes for some reason could not be placed within, such as Lady Matsu, whose body was never recovered from the Shadowlands. Each of these heroes' weapons are also reverently kept in the Hall. Their stories are recorded in the clan's annals, and every Lion family maintains a presence here, fulfilling certain roles. Traditionally the second child of the Matsu Daimyo is the primary defender of the hall and commands the troops stationed here. (3E p. 293)

[edit] A Lion's Death

Also within the Hall of Ancestors lies a small piece of silk, stained and ripped. The pattern is worn. Written upon it, in the blood of a Phoenix, is the account of a Lion's death. It was found on the step of the Akodo palace.

The simple remnant lies in a simple alcove, a tribute to the Lion heroes dying moments. (WoLion page 12)
