Ran Clan

The Ran Clan (藍家 Ranke) is one of the Eight Colored Clans of Saiunkoku and the most distinguished of the Eight Colored Clans. The clan's name translates to "blue" or "indigo".
==Information==
The last known Heads of the Ran Clan are the eldest triplet brothers of Ran Shuuei and Ran Ryuuren. Ran Setsuna are the Eight Colored Clans’ first collective Heads. They became the Heads of the Clan in the same period of time as Kou Reishin. In the Ran Clan, when someone is given the name, Dragon Lotus (龍蓮 Ryūren), it means that they are a genius, the host for the Blue Immortal and the true sovereign of the Ran Clan. However, this time period is the rare, Twin Dragon Era (雙龍時代 Sōryū Jidai) which means that besides Ryuuren, another dragon exists but has been hidden away by Ran Setsuna. They remain dormant in political affairs so they are often referred to as the Sleeping Dragon (睡眠龍 Suiminryū). Furthermore, there is only one Ran Clan government official right now (however, he is technically a Military Officer). Similar to the Heki Clan, the Ran Clan also excels in the arts.
==Members==
==Four Gates==
The Four Gates (四門家 Yonmonke) were the four noble families that acted as retainers to each of the Eight Colored Clans. The retainers of the Ran Clan were known as the Four Ran Gates (藍門四家 Ranmonyonke). Only one of the Blue Gates is currently known, the Shiba Clan.
