1 Heraldry

All these images came from webmasters on L5R websites; I thank the webmasters for putting them online. If any webmaster or artist that wishes to be mentioned specifically can contact me for accreditation. The dojo that do not have a listed symbol for their affiliation is common for a dojo like the Hidden Moon dojo that trains Scorpion Shinobi. All dojo with a (HB) icon is homebrew and should be treated as such.
