[edit] Founding
In 1109, Tsuruchi, born of a Scorpion and a Lion and betrayed by both clans, retook the castle that had been his birthright from his uncle, slaughtering all within. In the ensuing uproar, Tsuruchi presented his case to Emerald Champion Doji Satsume, a Crane with a distaste for both clans. Tsuruchi was declared innocent of any wrong doing and was given leave to create his own minor clan. Tsuruchi's followers had long since given him the nickname "Little Wasp," so there was little debate over the name for their new clan. Thus, the Wasp Clan was born. ([1], 3E p. 17)
[edit] The Wasp Code
The Wasp under Tsuruchi developed their own code of honor, which was not entirely in accord with the code of Bushido. The Wasp code was not adopted completely by the younger generations of the clan due to contradictions in its works. Its main precepts are Honesty, Loyalty, Mercy, Justice, Brotherhood and Judgement.
