Minister (TCG)

Ministers were Rokugani officials tasked with overseeing a single aspect of a castle, town, or Empire-wide bureaucracy. Ministers included clan magistrates, castle ministers, and spiritual advisors such as abbots and priests, as well as bureaucrats from Imperial administrations. Nomenclature varied somewhat among clans. In particular, the Unicorn Clan had absorbed organizational traditions from other cultures. Legend of the Five Rings - Roleplaying, pp. 294-295
