At the request of the Emperor the small unaligned village that was chosen to hold Winter Court would host a small select group of samurai. A Seppun would travel all over Rokugan seeking the talents necessary. Those that were selected had a few things in common, but at first glance it would not be immediately obvious. The Seppun refused to be questioned in his selection, and usually was not. Those that dared speak up, would be politely ignored.<br/><br/>The village was under a lot of pressure, and the streets were constantly busy. Representatives from every clan were available, publicly and privately. A new structure had been built and was kept a bit outside the main village. It was the nicest structure in the area and adorned with Imperial markings. It was too early to expect the emperor to be there, but it seemed the most likely place to find the Seppun.
