Torture (TCG)

Torture in Rokugan was considered a proper method of investigation, as well as a spiritually impure activity, due to the torturer touching blood and sweat, so it was only performed by members of the hinin caste. Dark Tides, p. 25 Hinin torturers formed an important part of a magistrate's retinue. Because of their deep understanding of human anatomy and the many ways harm could be inflicted upon it, some torturers also became quite adept at assisting magistrates in investigations.
