Dark Hands of Heaven, by Annie VanderMeer Mitsoda They were large and strong, tough and enduring, with little patience for the weaknesses of others. Exceedingly pragmatic, with little time for the polite fictions of court, they were often bitter about the mocking condescension concerning their manners. Legend of the Five Rings - Roleplaying, p. 49
