White Guard

From L5r: Legend of the Five Rings

The White Guard were formed in 827 after the Battle of the Chrysanthemum Petals. When the Dark Moto, Moto Tsume, returned at the head of a Shadowlands army the Moto name was so stained that the remaining Moto formed the White Guard. They would only wear white, the color of death, and not rest until the Dark Moto had been slain for good. ^[1] The Moto were passionate in this quest but often underestimated the Shadowlands and many Moto on expeditions into the Shadowlands joined their brothers in the Dark Moto. ^[2]

[edit] Destruction of the Dark Moto

In 1133, Moto Gaheris, Otaku Kamoko, and the Kami Shinjo all combined their forces to destroy both Moto Tsume and the Dark Moto in the Shadowlands. With the help of the Kami, accompanied by the Moto from the Burning Sands, the Moto name was finally cleansed. The Moto family then ascended to become the new leaders of the Unicorn. ^[3]

The White Guard is now a position of great honor, as only the fiercest, bravest warriors of the Moto family have a chance of being selected for this position. They are part of the current Unicorn Clan Champion Moto Chagatai's personal army, the Khol. ^{[citation needed]}
