Ide (TCG)

Ide was the amiable founder of the Ide family. Across the Burning Sands, by Daniel Lovat Clark 
== Shinjo's Journey ==
In the year 45 his Lady, Shinjo-no-Kami, gathered to her the bravest and most faithful of her followers, such as Ide, Iuchi, and Utaku Shiko. They passed beyond the border of Rokugan to learn about any unknown threats that laid there. 
=== Demise of the Rempet Empire ===
After a generation among the Ujik, the Ki-Rin Clan resumed their joureny and marched west, where they encountered the Cradle of the World, ruled by the pharaoh Nephrentep of the Rempet. They adored the Sun God, Shem, and Shinjo was declared to be Shem's sister from afar. Nephrentep's hospitality was a ruse, and he snatched Shinjo spiriting her away to his temple-palace. The sorcerer's king undying guard attacked the Ki-Rin and drove them into hiding. Iuchi declared that the sinister priests of Rempet were blood sorcerers and that they intended to use Shinjo's divine blood in a ritual to prolong Nephrentep's life. Ide found allies among the al-Qamari, a secret organization devoted to opposing the Sun Kings. Together the Rempet enemies staged an attack doomed on failure on Nephrentep's temple-palace. Eventually the moon blotted out the sun, throwing day into night, and ruling supreme until Nephrentep was cast down and Shinjo liberated. The oppressed peoples of Rempet rallied under Shinjo's banner and destroyed the corrupt empire of the sorcerer-kings. 
=== Division of the Clan ===
Shinjo realized that the world was too big, so she divided the Ki-Rin Clan into five hordes and sent them each in a different direction. Ide's Golden Horde remained in place, exploring the coast of the Conqueror's Sea. 
== Legacy ==
Ide began the chronicles of the entire length of their exodus from Rokugan and maintained by the Golden Horde during the time the clan was divided. After their return to the Emerald Empire, they were known as the Secret History of the Unicorn Clan, as the chronicles were never shared with the rest of Rokugan, for fear it would be used as evidence against the Clan in the Imperial Court.
