== Appearance ==
It was a wooden pole ten feet high, with a four foot horizontal crossbar from which
hanged the ancient mon of the Lion clan, above that of the Matsu family. The Banner of the Roaring Tempest got its name from the noise that emanated from it, the sound of a pride of roaring lions mixed with the rumble of a distant storm. 
== Abilities ==
The banner made the Lion nearby immune to fear, and enhanced their abilities in combat. The enemies of the Banner's wearer suffered fear from it. Secrets of the Lion, pp. 78-79
== History ==
=== Second Rise of Iuchiban ===
In the Battle of Sleeping River the bravery of an anonymous Matsu member of the Lion's Pride, allowed her sisters to maintain the line against the focused attack of the undead hordes of Iuchiban, allowing the Empire's victory. The Matsu battle standard died from her numerous wounds and her spirit infused the ancient banner. The Lion's Pride maintained and repaired it since. Prayers and Treasures, p. 135
=== Captured ===
In 1166, during the War of the Rich Frog, the Lion Ancestral Standard was captured by the Unicorn Clan. The Standard was finally returned after the death of the Unicorn Khan, Moto Chagatai, in the year 1170, as part of a treaty of reconciliation between the two clans. Book of Air, p. 124
=== Captured Again ===
The standard was returned to the Lion, but in 1200 it was seized again, this time by the Crane. An Akodo Honor Guard was passing through Shiro no Yojin on their way to meet with the main forces gathering at the Hall of Ancestors. They were at the castle when the Crane attacked and stormed it.
