Mirumoto Rosanjin brought Zutaka to the Imperial Court. Zutaka came bearing the blade of Hantei XVI, Toturi Naseru's sensei, which had been in his possession for a time. The Ruins of Otosan Uchi, Part 3, by Shawn Carman Naseru was away, so the blade was presented to Empress Toturi Kurako, as well as a recounting of the Tsi's aide in defeating the bandits. Zutaka was given the Oriole's greatest honor, the commision to forge what would become the ancestral sword of the Toturi Dynasty, the Sword of the Righteous Emperor. The Tsi were elevated to the position of Minor Clan, the Oriole Clan. Legend of the Five Rings; Third Edition Revised, p. 70

The Sword of the Righteous Emperor remained buried deep in Kyuden Miya waiting a new owner. Fealty and Freedom, p. 125 Those who lingered near the sword for long were invariably overcome by great depression and sadness. The spirit of the sword, destined for legendary exploits, was anguished that its destiny had been denied, so it might become twisted with madness. The sword would attempt to drive its wielder to acts of glory, and it would be not satisfied until its wielder becomes Emperor. Fealty and Freedom, p. 136
