Sentaku Tribunal (TCG)

The Sentaku Tribunal at Otosan Uchi was the center of legislature and politics within Rokugan. The district governors reported to the Sentaku. Some said that the tribunal contained a number of criminal syndicate leaders in its ranks, each of whom was the cat'spaw of a prominent Great Clan or Imperial courtier.

== Creation and Duties ==
The tribunal was created by the Otomo family in the fifth century. Its most important task was controlling access to the inner districts and the Forbidden City and thus ensuring the Imperial Court was not overrun with petitioners and sightseers from across the Empire. Within the domain of its authority, the Sentaku Tribunal's word was law, and it could only be overridden by the Emerald Champion or the Emperor themself.
