The Mondai Ketsu could reach where normal magistrates could not, and were answerable only to the Emperor. Nicknamed the Fury of the Hantei, their actions were ordered by the Emperor whose word was considered Imperial law. They resolved situations in the most direct manner possible, and a frequent history of bloodshed put the group at odds with other groups within the Imperial Court such as the pacifist Phoenix Clan or more diplomatic Crane Clan.
