[edit] The Oracle of 774
In 774 after barely a decade as the Oracle of Fire, the minor Isawa shugenja appears in Phoenix lands, apparently insane, going on a rampage. He destroys several small villaged and an entire Shiba legion before disappearing in a massive explosion incinerating a nearby shrine. At exactly the same time in Crab lands there came reports of a massive explosion deep in the Shadowlands.
The Phoenix theorized that the Oracle had become exposed to the taint and had been called to the Shadowlands to serve Fu Leng. It is a grim reminder that no-one is immune to corruption.[1]
[edit] The Oracle of 1123
In 1123, after over 250 years as Oracle,[2] the Oracle of Fire began his preparations to depart the mortal realm. The Oracle had to choose a successor, and he choose an eta girl. The Scorpion Clan were outraged, and attempted to manipulate the Oracle into declaring one of their own as the next Oracle. The plan failed and the Oracle destroyed a large piece of Scorpion countryside. His wrath was eventually appeased by a group of industrious samurai and the balance is restored.[3]
[edit] Isawa Norikazu
Isawa Norikazu was dying when the Dragon of Fire approached him and made him the Oracle. Becoming an Oracle did not improve his health, and he was still dying. Having been plagued with visions since his youth he had a vision shortly before he died of his brother, Isawa Mitori, also reciving visions, becoming ill and dying. To prevent this he passed on the power and duties of Oracle of Fire to Mitori, saving his brother's life.[citation needed]
[edit] Isawa Mitori
Isawa Mitori is the current Oracle of Fire.[citation needed]
