Jackal

From L5r: Legend of the Five Rings

The Jackal are a necromantic cult that operate in and around Medinat al-Salaam, and now Rokugan. They serve masters unknown in the depths of the Burning Sands, and worked to prevent the Awakening of the Goddess, who is also known as Shinjo. The Jackals are known and feared for their ability to raise the dead into creatures called ghuls.[1]

Recently, the Jackals have arrived in Rokugan and formed an alliance with the Dark Lord Daigotsu and his Spider Clan. Daigotsu regards the cult with a healthy disdain, considering their skills mere cheap trickery, but the creature called the Ghul Lord and one of the Dark Lord's allies, asked Daigotsu not to destroy them. The Jackals came with a warning, that a greater darkness than even Daigotsu himself is arising in the lands of the west and that the Dark lord should move to claim his empire quickly.[2]
