Original scribble of Otaidokan

This is my original concept for the Sapphire Island (names in Spanish)  scribbled in a piece of paper in my son's football class. I copied a few mon from real samurai clans as back in the day my plan was to create some for my own clans bit I gave up eventually.

  • Each clan occupied a single territory making it too boring.
