An attempt was made on the life of Asako Izuko in Kyuden Bayushi; although she survived, this has caused her to withdraw from court. An investigation is underway to determine who was responsible.
Hantei the 40th was angered by the attack on his Imperial Ambassador, and has summoned representatives of the Scorpion Clan to Imperial Court to answer for this incident.
Also in a completely unrelated matter (or so I'll claim), the Ikoma Lion's Shadow school has been added.
[OOC note: the Scorpion actions in the Imperial Court now replace the previous vote for which faction the Scorpion Clan will join. This is how I intend to break the deadlock on the Scorpion vote. I'm afraid the cost to participate in this vote is ... very high. No one is required to participate. But I believe it fits the setting.]

Also, for the record, the outcome of the Assassinate/Protect Asako Izuko dynamic event was as follows:
Bayushi Hiryu had the highest Stealth roll at 223.
Shosuro Aroru had the highest Investigation roll at 254.
Result: Asako Izuko survived the assassination attempt.

Wow. Saying that the cost is very high is quite an understatement..

So, anyone know where this Ikoma Lion's Shadow School is at? Am I missing an item that would make it visible?
Or is this a character creation option?

That was close. Even as a Toturi supporter I am glad the Imperial Ambassador survived. We do not condone such actions and assassination in general. This was the work of one disgruntled Shosuro... and possibly his Lord.
Also, what are the four skills for this new Ikoma school? It sounds fun! I only recall a few bits about the secret Lion ninja...
And will any other schools be added in future?
I would like to suggest the Kitsuki Justicar school of course and for the Kitsuki justicar technique item to be changed to give +iaijutsu rather than +kenjutsu. Why? After close inspection of the great clans book which mentions them it does stress they dish out justice with iaijutsu and not with kenjutsu. They use iaijutsu duels to settle disputes, not all out melee.
As for the justicar school... perhaps investigation, iaijutsu, meditation (dragon skill) and athletics or intimidation?

"Yogo Chie openly defied the Emperor in Imperial Court."

Indeed it shall. Okay, important question for Jay please - how long will this action go on for? 1 week? 1 month?
Just because I see players killing off their character for this and then coming back with more Scorpion, doing glory farming, killing off their characters and repeating in the hopes of boosting their side.
Also... it is possible for someone outside the Scorpion who has not married to marry into the Scorpion and then off themselves to influence the vote. Hell, I myself am tempted ^^;

The Lion's Shadow are a small and secretive group within the Ikoma family who consider themselves extremely practical individuals who foil the dire machinations of the Scorpion and other unsavory individuals.
School skills: Kenjutsu, Courtier, Investigation, Stealth
I would suggest adding a requirement of hantei or toturi supporter to the death actions to prevent people from making multiple toons for quick glory farming just to sacrifice to their side.

The idea of people farming and slaughtering Scorpion to sway the vote amuses me greatly.
Currently on my fourth or fifth character, I have no desire to start over myself. Takes too long. Unless, of course, Jay-sama, the Fortune of Coding, introduces a new character option I've been feverishly awaiting.
Then I will marry into the Scorpion, and throw myself away to favor Toturi the 3rd.
Obviously.
