Secret History

The Secret History of the Unicorn Clan was the chronicles of the entire length of the Ki-Rin Clan exodus from Rokugan. It was begun by Ide himself and maintained by the Golden Horde during the time the clan was divided. After their return to the Emerald Empire, the chronicles were known as the Secret History because they were never shared with the rest of Rokugan, for fear it would be used as evidence against the Clan in the Imperial Court.

The history of the Unicorn was initially kept in the minds of their storytellers, the kuurch, who would memorize vast genealogies and
stretches of history and then share them with people through stories, music, and art. In the year 138, the Ki-Rin learned a form of calligraphy from Shima Khilan, a captured Caliphate scholar, and soon began transcribing their existing histories. The earliest records of the Secret History of the Unicorn included not only art and song, but symbols lifted from nature and animals, concepts that were not easily translated back into Rokugani but were understood by those raised in the Unicorn's culture. Since their return to Rokugan, the Unicorn translated a version of what they referred to as the Golden History for the rest of the clans to see, highlighting the beauty of the world surrounding the Empire. However, trapped away in their symbolism, art, and song, and in writings in gaijin 
languages, were the most ancient and valuable pieces of their wisdom, hidden behind the barriers of language. Fields of Victory, pp. 22-23
