== Maintaining Balance ==
After a tsunami devastated Crane lands, they turned their attention on the Deer Clan. They require the Deer's support in their weakened state, wanting the Deer to take their orders. In the eyes of the Crane, the Deer were a valuable asset against the Lion Clan's overt aggression. Further, some Crane still saw the Deer as a rebellious offshoot that should return to the clan from which it sprung. The young Shika Renji had to decide between preserve the neutrality of the Deer, or stabilize the power balance of the Great Clans. Regarding the Unicorn, Shika Renji saw the imbalance they had brought to Rokugan as an opportunity to even other scales, and Shika Matchmakers busily built friendships between the Unicorn and Crane to help restoring the Crane coffers. Courts of Stone, pp. 85-86
